Finding Each Other

Ooohhhh look at the photo😭😭😭

I'm sorry. I know I suck. There isn't any more to say to this.

So last chapter I asked you guys to suggest names for what I should call you...and no one did...

‼️So if you have any ideas for what I should call you please suggest them‼️ (especially if you want me to update the next chapter)

All the way home in the car I was ecstatic.

I could NOT believe it! Percy Jackson, the man who I loved for four years before we broke up fifteen years ago, was here in New York and I was going to see him again. I was so excited to finally see him again! The only question was; did I still love him for those fifteen years? Do I still love him?

A familiar song- Little Talks- by my favourite band Of Monsters And Men (A/N MY FAVOURITE BAND!!!) started to play on the radio and I absent-mindedly sung along. The song Little Talks reminded me of Percy. After we broke up I started to listen to the band a lot. The line in Little Talks "now wait wait wait for me. Please hang around" reminded me of when Percy left and how I was begging him to stay. All their other songs too were so interesting and some even reminded me of fighting monsters when I was younger. But mostly they reminded me of Percy, and for fifteen years they were all I had left of him.

"Mum, are you feeling okay?" Luke asked me from the passenger seat, "you seem really...happy. And your normal happy is not like this happy. I've never seen you like this before."

"I'm feeling great, Luke!" I responded before I continued to sing to the familiar tune, "Don't listen to a word I say, HEY! The screams all sound the same, HEY! Because though the truth may vary this, ship will carry our bodies safe to shore..."

Luke just looked at me, confusion clear in his face, and I laughed at him.

Okay I'll admit I was probably acting a little strange, but I was just so happy that percy was actually back!

"Hey mom," Luke said in a tone that meant he was going to ask me a question.

"Hey Luke," I mimicked him, and Luke just rolled his eyes at my strange behaviour.

"Was Percy your boyfriend?" Well this totally caught me off-guard. I looked at him before looking back at the road, then at Luke again, then back at the road.

"...yeah. But we broke up fifteen years ago," I explained quickly.

"Well do you still like him?"

"...no," I didn't know what else to say, I mean I didn't even know if I still loved Percy myself! "Maybe...I don't know!"

"Oh mom...I'm no expert on this sort of stuff, but you SO do!!!" Luke laughed.

"You don't know that!" I snapped. I was angry that he knew something before I did. Usually I'm the smart one, who knows everything before everyone else does. Now I was more determined not to admit I still loved Percy. I wasn't going to give Luke the satisfaction of knowing something before me. Wait...did I just admit to myself I still loved Percy?! My emotions were so messed up, I was so confused with my feelings I didn't know anything anymore. Who knew one man could make me feel like this?!

"Mom...admit it! I know what you're thinking 'I don't want to admit Luke knew something before me'," Luke said in a very bad voice that was supposedly how I talked.

"Ugh! Really, Luke?! You can be so irritating sometimes!"

"Like Percy?!" Luke said wriggling his eyebrows.

I face-steering-wheeled. And when my face hit the steering wheel I cried out because it was a lot harder than I thought it would be.

This made Luke erupt into fits of laughter, making me glare at him.

"Mom just admit it, it will save you from more pain," Luke said still laughing slightly.

"No!" I said as I parked the car outside of our small apartment block. I got out of the car and locked it after Luke got out before going inside and starting the steep climb up the stair case.

As I was walking up the stairs, Luke's footsteps echoing behind me, I was thinking about, yep you guessed it, Percy.

I kept thinking about just him. His familiarity, his face, his hair, his voice, his eyes, gods his eyes! They were still the same gorgeous sea green that I could always get lost in! I thought about him, everything about him. He was still so gorgeous. Wait what?!

I reached the door to our apartment and walked in. It still felt so empty, even with Luke and all his stuff. But I wished Percy was here. It was then when I finally realised. Oh my gods, I think I do still love Percy!

"Luke!" I called out, my voice full of worry, realisation, happiness, love, excitement and so many other emotions.

"Yeah!" He called out with worry as he ran up the last few steps and into the apartment, closing the door behind him. When he saw the smile on my face he seemed to relax a bit, "mom what is it?"

"Luke, you were right!" I half screamed and I could hear the excitement in my voice. I felt like a giddy little school girl who just hugged their first crush.

"Yeah mom, I know," Luke smirked.

"I still love Percy Jackson!!!"
