11 - Beer Dad

*forgets about wattpad*

Percy

After school. Man, today was the day I wish I'd had school longer.

I came home to a druck Gabe. He was all alone in the dark living room, resting on his worn out reddish brown couch. Some beer cans littered the ground, and he was holding one in his hand. A nearly empty one.

"Percy! Why are you so late?"

"I'm not late," I scowled.

"I don't care! I'm tired of you actin' like a jackass when I'm with my friends. You're always gettin' on my nerves. You ungrateful shit!"

Gabe stood up. I backed away a couple of steps and grabbed my backpack to shield myself. Gabe's hands balled into an angry, shaking fist. He let out a low growl.

"I've been wantin' to teach you a lesson for a while now, boy."

He punched my gut, but most of the blow was blocked by my bag. I was breathing heavily, but I didn't know what to do.

This had only happened once before, a couple of months ago. I knew what was coming.

Gabe ripped my backpack out of my clutch. He always managed to find my weak spot. With my chest unprotected, he grabbed my shirt from the front and slammed my head against the wall behind me.

"Ah," I let out a soft moan. I couldn't scream. I couldn't seem helpless.

The most injured parts of my body in the end were my chest and torso. I dragged my body to my bedroom. The only reason he had stopped was because he'd gotten a phone call.

I couldn't tell anyone about Gabe's abuse towards me. My mom needed the money, and she would divorce him if she found out what was going on. Gabe knew this. He never hurt my mom, and he knew I'd keep my mouth shut.

In my bedroom, I flopped down on my bed. Breathing heavily, I took my shirt off to see the damage. Although I was bruised and red, no blood was drawn. Thank god. I didn't need that at the moment.

My phone buzzed. It was a message from Rachel. I'd given her my number before she went insane on me. I mean, she seemed cool, and I wanted to be friends with her. But I was with Annabeth now.

Hey, Percy. Sry i can pushy and annoying in class today. I was just a little annoyed bc annabeth and i arent on the best of terms. Can we still be friends?

Okay, I was a softy. I sighed and texted her back.

No harm done, friend

Rachel

Plans, plans, plans. That's what you want to hear, right? That was my job.

My first plan, make some jock get real close to Annie. Get Percy mad. Percy mine.

But then I realised, Percy's a rational guy. He would talk to Annabeth and set things straight. And we don't want that to happen.

This plan is much better. And I have help.

Annabeth is stubborn. If her little Seaweed Brain was caught cheating on her, she would never talk to him again. Ever. Which is what I needed.

Now, I can't do the cheating. Percy would hate me. I needed help.

And that help, was Drew.

It was after school. Drew always had some guy with her doing who knows what in the back alley of the school, where no cameras would catch them. Drew, was the school whore. If anyone would be willing to help me, it would be Drew.

I slowly walked to to Drew's makeout session spot. Today, it was some blond guy, probably on the football team. He looked a year older than us. A senior.

I stood there for a long time. You're lucky I'm sparing the details. Finally, he left, and Drew stood there using her cell phone.

"Drew," I called, walking over to her. Her head shot up, and she nodded in acknowledgment.

"What do you want?"

"I have a deal to make with you."

She looked up from her phone. "I'm listening."

"You know the new kid, Percy?"

"Yeah, what about him?"

"He's dating Annabeth Chase. I need your help to break them up."

"What do I have to do?"

"The classic. Call Annie, set you two up, boom. She dumps him. And I swoop in and take him."

"I'd do it, but what's in it for me?"

"You and I are different, Drew. I wanna date him, you want a makeout session with him. It's a win-win. For us, at least. Annie, being the stubborn bitch she is, will dump Percy, leaving him devastated. I'll give him a couple days to heal, and then he's mine."

"Fine, when's this going down," Drew says, fixing up her smeared lipstick.

"This coming Monday."
