This is: Seeing Red
All Human chapter, my dear readers.
WARNING: A little bit of vulgar language.
I don't own PJO.
Thalia, Luke
Summary preview: Betrayal of the harshest kind.
"Luke!" I called out, unlocking the door to our apartment, careful not to drop my coffee.
No answer.
"Must still be at the brother in-law's." I muttered while completely opening the door and walking in.
I looked over the living room, peered around the hallway corner, and rolled my eyes.
Idiot boy. He probably already forgot that it was our first anniversary. I mean, I hadn't been expecting much, but him not actually being on yet another cutesy romance thing? It was enough to make any hopeless romantic girl start seeing red.
Luke was such a bastard sometimes.
I sat on the couch, coffee in hand, and stared at the remote. Did I want to sit home alone, watching TV again, or did I actually want to go somewhere?
I snorted and reached for the remote. As if I had anywhere to go. 24 years old and already an isolated wife. What goals I had accomplished.
After staring at the TV, numbingly watching some horror movie, my phone beeped to let me know it was dying.
I smiled at the background picture- Luke, Annabeth (practically my little sister), and I making weird faces at the camera. I debated on calling her, but in the end decided not to. She was a 19 year old, and from what she told me last time I called, dating her college's academic star. Besides, it was a Friday night- no way she was staying home.
I sighed and shut down my phone. It wasn't like I would be needing it.
3:23 A.M.
That is what time Luke decided to come home, unfortunately waking me up in the process.
"What the hell are you doing?" I muttered, slowly making my way off the couch.
Luke had the decency to look sheepish. "I am so sorry. I was with Travis and... you know what? It doesn't matter. Sorry I forgot to call you and let you know that I wouldn't be home until late tonight. I didn't even realize what time it was..." he trailed off at my glare.
"You fail at being a husband." I informed him, my voice completely neutral.
"What do you mean?"
"When you figure that out, you will understand. Until then, I am going to sleep. Don't bother following me; you're sleeping out here on the couch tonight. Now if you will excuse m-"
The door opened and a seemingly drunk Travis (wasn't he underage?) walked in.
Travis pointed at Luke. "You, my older brother, need to hurry up. The car is still running."
I raised my eyebrows. "Oh really? And just where is the car going, Travis?"
Travis seemed to notice that it was not just him and Luke in the room for the first time. His eyes widened, squinted, then glazed over again.
"Oh you know. That new place by the old bakery."
"The flubbing strip club?" I demanded. I turned on Luke next. "Don't think I don't see you motioning for him to keep quiet! Frikk it Luke! Don't you know what today- or actually yesterday considering it's freaking 3 something in the morning- you moron? And you have the fucking nerve to go out to a strip club? What the hell is wrong with you?"
Screw hopeless romantics. I was seeing red.
Luke's eyes narrowed. "You know, if you would actually take the time to tell me what yesterday was, that little tantrum of yours would have a lot more of an impact on me."
Travis who had been backing away since about mid-way through my first rant suddenly slammed the door behind him as he ran away.
"Tantrum? You want a flubbing tantrum? You fu-" I cut off suddenly and took a deep breath. "Yesterday," I grounded out, "was our wedding anniversary. Yeah. You know. The first one at that."
Oh now he looked guilty. Spineless coward.
Luke opened his mouth to reply. I quickly cut him off. "Oh, don't even begin to think that I'm done talking. For Gods sake, Luke, I sit here alone on most nights because you isolated me from the rest of the fucking world! Don't get that disagreeing expression. We both know it would have never happened if you hadn't steady monopolized my time!"
"Don't you dare blame me for your social issues. You invited me places way more times then I invited you." Luke hissed.
"That's right- because you usually invited yourself!"
"It is not my fault that you are a fucking self centered, HERMIT WIFE!"
"Not your fault? Not your fault? It's all your fault you useless deadbeat failure!"
"Oh so, I'm the deadbeat failure? Look in the mirror sometime, princess! At least I have a steady job and income! And if you're so freaking lonely then maybe you should improve your negative attitude! Who knows, maybe someone might actually like you instead of secretly hating you! Yeah, the truth hurts doesn't it princess? Even Annabeth doesn't like talking to you. Did you know that the guy she had been dating dumped her? She called me crying and told me not to say anything to you about a month ago. When I talked to her yesterday, she was meeting up with some swimming team captain. There is a reason she doesn't confide in you anymore, Thalia!"
I sucked in a breath and ignored the stab of hurt that sent racing through my head.
I shook my head biting back everything I wanted to scream at him. "I don't have to deal with this." I muttered, grabbed a near by hiking backpack, and started putting things I would need for the next month inside it.
Luke watched me for a few minutes before asking "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm leaving. I hope you have fun at the strip club Luke, because I'm filing for divorce tomorrow." I snapped, zipping up my bag.
"Are you seriously going to do that after one fight?"
I spun around and looked him the eye. "Yes. I am sick and tired of staying home alone most nights, while you are out with your friends. Goodbye and good riddance, Luke Castellan."
The door slammed shut behind me.
Me: Thoughts?
And announcement: The next few chapters are going to be couple chapters, all displaying different (fairly cannon) pairing in different stages of emotions. All shall be All Human chapters.
Love (Becklina) , Anger (Nico/ OC), Happiness (Percabeth), Surprise (Tratie), and Annoyance (Clarisse/Chris). Probably not in that order, but within the next 5 chapters all pairing will be shown. (WARNING: May have over-used plots that people love anyway)
Hoped you enjoyed the Betrayal chapter of Luke/Thalia.
Next Chapter: Food
