My Angel (Solangelo high school Au)

That time where Percy texted me like it was the end of the world (It kinda was)

Will

The radio is blasting. Pulling my seatbelt across my body, I turn down the volume. My head aches from the lack of sleep. I stayed up late throughout the night to hang out with Nico. The sky is overcast, putting me into a grumpy mood. The music playing is awful. A sad tune, the guy is singing about how upset he is about his wife dying, wondering how he can move on from the heartache. I go to a different station. Another terrible song. I switch again, then again. All terrible songs. A song in a language I don't know. I yell in frustration. Why does everything have to be so complicated. I turn it off and try to enjoy the silence. But, my gaze drifts towards the clock in my car. 10 minutes until school starts. It takes 7 minutes to get there, and at least another 7 to go to my locker and get to my home room. I groan. Great. I'm going to be late.

Pulling out of the driveway, my mind is listing complaints. Why do I have to be late? Why does the stupid radio never play anything worth my time to listen? Why is my life falling apart? No answers come. It's not like I expected them to come. I take a deep, soothing breath. "Everything is going to be okay," I tell myself. So what if I'm late to school. It won't be the first time it's happened. And the radio doesn't play good music. Who cares? It's never played anything that I've completely liked in the past. Why am I complaining about it now? My life is falling apart. That is completely true. But who's life is perfect? There are going to be some highs and lows in life, no matter what. I just gotta make the best of it. And maybe, my life isn't falling apart. Maybe it's just falling into place.

I put on a smile as I drive. Looking around, I see that it is actually a beautiful day. It rained for most of last night, making the patches of grass in some people's yard more green than ever. And the sun is peeking through the clouds, halfway in the sky, creating colors of pinks and blues in the rare patches where the sky is showing, and the clouds have moved. It's such a beautiful day.

Halfway to school, my phone beeps. At first I ignored it, because I'm driving. Even though my siblings, Austin and Kayla, were at band and archery camp and missed school, I still had to be extra careful driving. A minute later, my phone beeped again. Then, again. Out of frustration and fear, I reluctantly reached over and picked up my phone. Quickly typing in my code, I see that I have multiple messages from Percy.

Percy: Will! Get over to the hospital now.

Why does he need me at the hospital? Is someone hurt? What happened now? Is Nico hurt?

Percy: Will, read your texts! This is important!

My mind is racing. What is so important? Percy sends me another text.

Percy: It's about Lexi!

Lexi? Have they found her? Is she okay?

Percy: William Andrew Solace, get your butt over here now!

I almost laugh, but I'm still stunned. Percy sends me another text message.

Percy: That was Reyna.

Reyna? What is she doing with Percy? She was found? Does Thalia know? I decided to finally text back. I need some answers. What is happening?

Me: Percy, what is going on?

My dad then texts me. Why does everyone need to text me at this moment? School is about to start. And my dad always says to never pick up the phone while driving, unless it's an emergency. Is this an emergency? What is going on?

Dad: Come to the hospital now. It's Lexi.

I turn around, almost crashing into a tree, turning towards the hospital. I sigh, realizing that I am totally going to be late for school. But, they've found Lexi, I think. Lexi might be okay. Everything is going to be okay.
