100 Moments for a Couple Never Meant to Be

by Percyjacksonfan3

Written for the 100 Drabbles/100 Prompts challenge. I was given 100 prompts, a couple, and was told to write 100 drabbles for each, each one less than 600 words. Leo/Reyna goodness, everybody, who doesn't want to read that? Rated M for later chapters. All rights go to Rick Riordan!

Leo picks up the phone thinking Percy's calling to invite him to his and Annabeth's beach house at Montauk for the weekend. (They always forget that once they invite Reyna they don't need to separately invite him too.)

He thinks that it's just a perfectly normal, average phone call on a normal day, because who picks up the phone knowing that something bad has happened on the other end of the line?

Leo's right. Percy's calling to invite him over to Montauk. "And Jason and Piper are coming, I invited Nico and Will but they might be busy, they're gonna call me back-"

"Percy," Leo says. "You already invited Reyna. We're coming. Remember?"

"Oh right. It's so crazy, I always forget that now I just have to call one of you-"

That's the last thing Leo hears before he sees the headlights from where he's sitting in the back of the cab.

It's the last things he hears before the screeching of brakes takes over and eliminates every other sound.

He's thrown forward, his seat belt jarring into him, and he hears a bone crack even before he sees the oncoming car crash into the taxi he's in, or hears the sound of metal colliding with metal. And the last thing he feels before all of those sights and sounds goes away, is pain, radiating everywhere, all over his body.

Then he loses consciousness.
