Jercy - Random Stories

It's A Lot. (Part 1)

    It's a lot. My new life, spending most of my hours working or taking care of Estelle. You may wonder why I'm the one taking care of her, when there's my mom...well...

*Flash back heheh*

"Please! Mom, please, still be alive.. I need you so much, please don't leave me. Estelle needs you." I look over and see Paul....No. No. No. No. They were both covered in blood and wounds. Gods please let them live. I hear sirens around me, as water continues to trickle from my eyes. My mom is gone, along with my stepdad...

*back*

     That is the moment, where my whole life started going down hill. You see, I was eighteen years old when they had passed, and my sister was barely one. My sister had been with Annabeth, she was taking care of her while my parents went somewhere important. I was in the area where they got into an accident, it happened in front of my eyes. I did nothing to stop it, and I hate myself for that. 

     Well, they were gone and someone needed to care for Estelle... I had to step up and give her the best childhood she can get in this situation. So, I did what my mom did for me.

     I took up a job at the candy place my mom used to work at. I could no longer attend to college with one of my best friends, Annabeth, I could only do online classes. I could rarely visit Grover anymore, not that I could much before, but I have way less opportunities now. Leo is in Indiana, Piper is in Oklahoma, both with their current lovers. Frank and Hazel are both Praetors now. A lot of other demigods are actually busy, so in other words, I had no one to turn to. Well, except one person. We're decent friends, but not that close, though.

      It's so stressful having to take care of yourself and a child alone. Though, I do enjoy my times with Estelle. Three years had passed and it is still so stressful. I'm twenty-one years old now, Estelle is barely four. Soon, she would go to school.

     Today, I was in the kitchen. It was three a.m. and I was doing online work for college and I hear a knock at the door. I walk over to the door and open it to see Jason.

     "Jason? What are you doing here, at this time, no less?" I commented.

     "Happy to see you too. You can not be talking about the timing, you were clearly not asleep," he reminded.

     "Touché. But that doesn't answer my question. What are you doing here?" I ask once again.

     "I came to see you, I wanted to see if you were alright," he confirmed. Jason had visited me a lot before, so it's not that great of a surprise, honestly.

     I sigh. "It's late. Come inside."

     "Alright," I move aside and allow him to walk into the apartment. I close the door behind me and walk to my stuff on the counter. I put my stuff away and I came back to Jason.

I sat next to him on the couch and we sat in silence for a while. That was, until Jason put his hand on my thigh and said, "your right, it is late. We need sleep."
He then shifted a bit, looking uncomfortable. "I forgot to book a hotel... can I sleep on the couch..?"

I sigh, again. I didn't know him that well, but why not? We fought along side each other, he's helped me a quite a bit as well these last three years.

I grab the hand he has on my thigh, and I stand up. He also stands up, and I drag that hand to my room. "Your a guest, you can sleep here." I grab a couple of things and then he grabs my wrist.

"No, it's your apartment."

"Your the guest."

"Well, I'm not going to sleep on the bed if your on the couch in your own house."

"I'm not going to sleep on the bed if your on the couch as a guest and a friend."

"You know what?"

"What?"

He pulls me into a hug and then he pushes me against the bed. I was shocked by his action, I may or may not have blushed a little...or a lot. His face was a couple of centimeters away.

"We both want one another to sleep on the bed, so let's both sleep on the bed." he assured.

      He gets off me and moves to his own side of the bed, leaving me with the other. Wow, that was, uh, something. Let's never speak of it again.

     "So, do you not get ready for bed at all?" I ask.

     "I do, I'm just way too tired for that right now. Just get in bed, Percy. We've been procrastinating sleep way too long now." I listen to him and I slid into bed next to him.

      "Goodnight." Jason mumbled.

      "Goodnight."

     We both eventually fall asleep. This was a weird night, to be honest. I mean, he did just show up out of no where at three am. I wonder if his reasoning, is actually his reasoning. Or at least, maybe it's not his only reasoning. I don't know. I guess I'll ask him tomorrow.
