Mortals Meet Percabeth. (on hold)

Sarah Jones

I walk down the hallway to my Co-worker Sally Blowfis' apartment. As I reach the door, I notice her husband Paul coming out of the elevator, bags overflowing with books. He struggles to pick them up so I run over and carry as many as I can to the apartment. He knocks on the door. Sally answers, dressed in blue. She peers behind me before taking the bags from my hands and ushering me in. I step into the cozy apartment and look around.
"Sarah!" Sally greets me. "I see you've already met Paul, my son is just in his room sleeping at the moment with his friend but he will be joining us for dinner." I nod as we take a seat on the sofa. Paul tells us he will shout when tea is ready and goes into what I assume to be the kitchen. Me and Sally discuss work for a good solid hour before Paul calls for us. We are wandering to the kitchen when we come across an open door. Naturally, I look inside and am surprised by what I see. Two teenagers are curled up on a bed together, and mess of limbs and sheets. Sally has stopped in front of me and turns around.
"Ah, yes, that's my son Percy and his girlfriend Annabeth. " She says, like it's normal for these teens to be in bed together. I look at her shocked.
"I am disappointed in you Sally." I tell her, confusion etched upon her face. " Do you know what they could get up to? Do you want to become a grandmother at your age? Why, the girl probably sleeps with every guy she meets in this day and age." I hear a growl and turn around. The boy who was with the girl is now stood in front of me, his devilish black hair ruffled.
"Annabeth is not one of those sluts. " He puts so much venom into his words, I feel like I just took a bite from a poisonous snake. "She is smart, loving and kind and we do nothing but sleep in bed. I love her and have been to hell and back for her and I know she would do the same thing for me." I scoff as he finishes his speech. Yeah, he definitely went to he'll and back for her. Suddenly, a high pitched scream breaks the silence. Percy's face changes to a concerned expression and he rushes to the girl who is now flailing around in the bed. He dodges her arms and kisses her forehead. He whispers in her ear and she calms down, tears still rolling down her face. She embraces Percy and I feel sympathy towards them. I can tell by the way she screamed they weren't normal nightmares. Sally looks uncomfortable as Paul comes out.
"Maybe you should come back tomorrow." She says. I nod and walk to the door.

And that was how I met Percabeth.
