A broken Percy pt.2

Percy pov

At the moment Piper was yelling at me. I had been trying not to look at Annabeth. I couldnt hate her because my flaw wouldnt let me but i definitly definitly didnt love her anymore. I tuned back in to hear Piper say " leaving Annabeth crying on the porch of the big house everyday for the past year and you can only say sorry?!" I glared at Annabeth when her name was said. She took a step back. 

Annabeth brought back too many memories. "Surprising" I said, still glaring at her. "Whats surprising?" Nico asked. "That she cares" I said. "Annabeth? Of course she cares shes your girlfriend." He said. "Was" I answered. "what?" Annabeth asked. "Annabeth, in your words I am, quote "not deserving of you" and "a selfish freak who let the fame get to his head" I said. Thalia, Nico and Piper turned to Annabeth. "Annabeth?" thalia asked. "I-I never said that." she defended but i knew. 

I could see it in her eyes. Mixed in with the confusion there was just a tiny bit of recognition and thats what made me so mad i let my barriers down. When i was trainging I had learned to put up barriers around my mind so the gods couldnt get in and talk to me but as soon as those barriers fell i felt the presence in my mind. 

"Which one are you?" I asked in my head. "Mnemosyne" I heard a womans voice in my head. I growled internally, the memory godess. she was my least favorite. She was even worse then hera. When i first left CHB Mnemosyne would find me and make me relive my worst memorys. "Get out" I said. I didnt mean to say it out loud but i was too mad to care.

I heard the others say something but i wasnt paying attention.

"But dont you want me to stay?" She asked.

 "No" I said. 

"but we could have so much fun. Relive the old days, you know, when your family loved you."  

"Just shut up would you?" I heard the others say something.

"but i think it would be interesting to see how this plays out. Just like Aphrodite does. She says she doesnt know if Percabeth will be forever or not" 

 "Just get out of my head!" 

"Maybe next time."

Then everything began to get dark.

I opened my eyes to see Piper, Nico, Thalia, and Annabeth standing next to me. I looked forward and saw the apartment building i lived in when gabe was my stepfather. 

"Lets start at the beginnning shall we?" 

Apparently the others heard her and Thalia asked. "Who is that?"  "Mnemosyne" I answered. She nodded.

 All of a sudden we were standing in the apartment where Gabe was playing Poker with some of his buddies. "PERSEUS!" He yelled. I saw little me run into the room. I walked over to me as tiny me started trembling. I waved a hand in front of miny me's face but nothing happened. "They cant see us" I said. 

"Bring us a couple beers!" Gabe yelled even though i was standing right there. Miny me whimpered and ran out. "I remember this day. My mom was at work so he called all his friends and they played poker, winner got to beat me" I said, not looking at them. I was switching between watching the door and glaring daggers at Gabe. 

A minute later miny me came in carrying four beer bottles. "Hurry up, Perseus!" Gabe yelled. Present me and miny me both cringed. I brought the bottles to Gabe and he punch me in the stomach. "that hurt" I said. 

Flash forward a couple minutes and Gabes best friend had won the poker game. He smashed miny me over the head with a glass bottle and it shattered on impact. Miny me didnt make a sound though as i knew it would make it worse.  Then Gabes friend, Steve, took a knife and slashed my side. I subconciously rubbed the spot.
