Chapter 18

Lost in the blackness of your thoughts not knowing if you're alive or not is hard, believe it or not. I couldn't tell if I was alive, if I was in a coma, or if everything was even a dream.

It just seemed like a dark, black room. And I really don't like the dark.

There were these bubbles that looked like...memories in the dark room. The most recent one was a guy, touching me. I winced and touched the bubble, popping it.

Wait-what just happened. I looked around and the bubble was gone. As if it were never there. The next one was my recent day with Percy. I smiled and touched his face as he looked at me in the screen but that popped too.

I frowned and touched the other time with Percy but also popped. I swiped my hand through three more bubbles; the pool, the fake date, and the food fight.

I turned around and saw Percy at the corner of the room. I smiled and ran towards him but he was slowly dissolving as I ran closer and closer.

"No," I cried out, "Please don't leave me." but he fully disappeared.

I was all alone in the black hole of mine. I collapsed on the floor in a crying heap.

"Annabeth," a voice said, "You don't understand how much I just want you to be here. Please."

I looked around, my body feeling as if energy was added to it.

"It's been half a day." the voice said, "My swim meet is tomorrow."

Swim meet, who had a swim meet? It's in the back of my head that I can't remember. Our high school had a swim meet but I'm pretty sure I wasn't invited to it.

"I want to show that you're mine and I'm yours just as much," the voice said. But I'm not anybody's. I don't belong to anyone.

"I want to show that we're together throughout everything." the voice sounded on the verge of crying.

Who is this?

I need to see who is is. I looked around and couldn't see anyone.

"Okay," I told myself, "You just need to get up and open your eyes."

I laid down on the black floor and closed my eyes. I clenched my fists and let my eyes flutter open, looking around to see a change.

I was in a hospital bed, and a bright one to be exact. I shielded my eyes from the bright change of color; from dark black to bright glowing yellow.

I looked at the person next to me and was shocked. "Percy?" I asked, "Why are you here?"

He looked up at me and smiled, putting his hands on my cheeks and pulling me close to him. I realized what was happening as our lips were an inch apart. I pushed him away, what the hell was he doing?

"Percy, first of all, why are you trying to kiss me? This is the first time in many years that you've tried to actually interact with me. And second, why are you even here?" I asked him, scooting away.

He looked at me in shock, "What do you mean? Don't you remember what happened yesterday?"

"Yeah," I snapped, not wanting to be reminded of being raped, "And I wish I didn't."

His eyes clouded up with different emotions; anger, sadness, and love. For some reason, it hurt me to see him like this. But he's here for no reason.

After a minute of Percy just trying to figure me out, (I guess,) he simply stood up and left. I sighed, not understanding.

I was soon longing for him to come back, not to be lonely in this hospital. It killed me, just having Pipes with Jason and Dad with Marissa come and visit me. That was one of our first interactions in a while and I kind of missed it.

The doctor, Dr. Will Solace, was very kind with me. He asked questions like, "How old are you?" or "What school do you go to?"

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" he asked, "Do you remember having one?"

I shook my head, "No, I don't." It went on for about 15 minutes.

"Well Annabeth," he said after looking up from his clipboard, "You fortunately do not have any STD's or any other type of transmitted disease but there is something, I'm afraid to tell you."

I bit my lip nervously, "Can I have dad and Marissa come first?" He nodded.

I picked up my phone and called dad. It rung four times before he answered.

"Hey dad." I said.

"Hi Annabeth," he said, "What's up?"

"Can you and Marissa come over, Dr. Solace said there's something he needs to tell us."

He groaned, "Oh God, you're not pregnant right?"

I laughed, "Of course I'm not."

He sighed in relief, "Okay, we'll be there in ten."

Eleven minutes and twenty five seconds later, dad and Marissa came into the room. They sat down on two chairs next to my bed as Dr. Solace stood in front of the three of us.

"I'm afraid to tell you that Annabeth has a brain tumor growing quite largely in her head." he frowned.

My dad looked at me then back to Dr. Solace, "A brain tumor? Is it able to be taken out?"

Dr. Solace sighed, "It is growing fast and is already halfway to the point of largeness that we can't take it out."

I could barely understand anything else. A brain tumor. Inside my head.

I processed it through my head. Brain tumor means no hair and large chance of not living.

This couldn't be true. I didn't want it to be true. It was probably just a bad nightmare. I was at home, watching old reruns of House and Friends but fallen asleep, right?

I pinched my arm but I didn't wake up. I plucked a hair from my head but I didn't wake up. I really did have a brain tumor.

My life would change from this point on.
