Percy's Secret

Smelly Gabe does Something Smelly

Percy's POV :
Demeter flashed me to camp, and I was in my cabin. Leo broke down the door with a hammer, sometimes I wondering how he can summon so many tools with his magical tool belt. Well pretty much that's my answer, it's magical.

"Percy! I swear I didn't cheat on you oh my gods I'm so sorry!" Annabeth said desperately. "Then what were you doing? Tasting his lips?" I yell, I can't believe she had the audacity to say it wasn't her fault. For a daughter of Athena, she's pretty stupid.

"Yo Waterboy, I swear it wasn't like that it's a, miscommunication." Leo said, a bit too quickly for my comfort. "Seriously you guys? Do you think I'm dumb?! I'm not a son of Athena, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid. You guys are obviously lying!" I yelled, the door was open still, and Piper heard. "Woah what the Hades is going on hear?! It sound's like actual Chaos!" She yells.

  "Nothing!" Annabeth and Leo say at the same time. I give them a glare, and Piper raises one eyebrow. "Ok what's seriously going on?" Piper asks, charmspeak added. "Fine, we cheated on Percy and we're trying to lie about it even though Percy knows the truth." They blurt out.

  I fell tears form in my eyes again. They Annabeth and Leo just confessed to lying. I know I found out a while ago, but it still hurts now. Piper has been to shocked to say anything. "Wow, um... I was not expecting that." Piper says.

  Annabeth and Leo, both probably aggravated, storm out of the room. "So uhh are you okay?" Piper asks me, I was about to lie and say I'm fine, though I know deep down I'm not. With every thing going on with my life I'm not ok, suddenly, I shed a tear. "No. I'm not ok, I never am." I say, I should've said something else, but I wanted to tell her the truth for some reason.

  Piper sits next to me on my bed, and she gives me a hug. She pats my shoulder, which then, I couldn't help but smile. Here's the thing with Piper, she always knows exactly how to cheer you up from anything. We stay silent for a while, then Piper starts, "It'll be ok Percy, there's way better than Annabeth out there. You deserve much better." She says with a slight beam and I return it.

  She leaves my cabin and I'm in my bed not knowing what to do. I don't know how much time has past, and I don't care to know, as I'm laying in bed, crying while looking at the roof, I hear a knock. I wash my face quickly with the cold water in the fountain in my room and open my door.

  "Hey Perce, Chiron wanted me to check up in you since you didn't come to dinner." Nico says. Hours had passed that I've been sulking and I didn't realize. "Oh, sorry I'm not really hungry." I say and Nico frowns, "But your always hungry? Is something wrong?" he said. I know he didn't mean it in a bad way, but that made me angry, always hungry? I hate enough food, even too little sometimes.

  "I'm fine. Go away." I say in a harsher tone than I meant to. Nico looks shocked, them slams the door in my face and goes away. I cursed, of course I just had to get the son of Hades mad at me. Well I should worry about that later, tomorrow I have to go home for a week, which means seeing Smelly Gabe for a week. (This is an AU where he didn't die by the way)

  I always loathed seeing Smelly Gabe. He's my abusive step-father who absolutely hates me and my mom. But she hasn't divorced him, I don't know why, everytime I ask her she just brushes it off and changes the topic. I shake that thought off, and go to bed. Surprisingly I had a peaceful enough sleep, hey! My day was horrible at least my rest was good, I had no dreams.

I woke up from my slumber. I saw a bowl of cereal on my nightstand and another note. It read, " Here Perseus, no amount of cereal has enough grain so I made my own, perfect amount of grain. Enjoy! -Demeter" I chuckled. Though, what does the perfect amount of grain mean? Probably too much. I grabbed the note and looked to the cereal, I said, "Thank you" and as a responce, a wildflower suddenly appeared.
