After 10 Years (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

Percy's POV

We'd spended the whole two weeks of winter break training and going out with friends. However I'd had the courage to ask Annabeth out.

She said yes!

Tomorrow was a Saturday so we'd be going on our first date to eat at Time Square. It was also beautiful there since it was New Years.

Annabeth seamed excited and truly I was nervous.

Although I wanted to spend all the time in the world with Annabeth. I couldn't today.

My mother invited Jason, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Calypso, and me to spend the night over with her and Paul, my step-father. However Piper and Jason were spending time with Piper's dad. He had been wondering why Piper hadn't come home for Winter Break. He doesn't know about the gods or demigods. Or that he's been in love with Aphrodite for years. Even though she's married to another.

Hazel didn't have any living family, but Frank wanted her to come with him to meet two of his aunts that lived in Canada and were visiting here.

Leo and Calypso were going straight home and then they had a home date.

So in the end it was just me at my mom's house.

My mom, Sally Blofis-Jackson, was a nice, kind hearted woman. She loved to write. She would have become a writer, but instead fell in love with a god. He got her pregnant at seventeen and after I was born he left. Then she married Gabe Ugliano, to hide my scent from beast that would come to eat me. I hated him. He treated me and my mom like his servants. He spoke badly of me and all he ever did was be drunk and betting money that he didn't have.

After I found out I was a demigod and began training at camp my mom divorced Gabe. She also decided to re-take her years in University for writing.

There she met Paul Blofis. He wanted to help her. They were 'friends'. He was a teacher. I was at camp and decided to Iris-message her. She was with him in the living room of our home, they were being friends.

At first I didn't like Paul. I didn't want him to replace my dad in my mom's heart. I knew that was unfair to her. That she would always love a man that would some day forget her. However Paul didn't replace dad, he just made my mother's love grow. Now they were happily married.

I was going to stop by my apartment before going to my mom's place. As I walked through the hall of my condo I couldn't help, but notice the beautiful blonde next to my door.

Her eyes shifted to me with a smile. Those sad, intimidating, calculating, beautiful eyes. I jogged towards her.

''Anne what are you doing here?.. I mean it's wonderful and...'' I was scared that she would be offended.

''Relax Seaweed Brain, I left camp early today so I was waiting for you. I was wondering if you wanted to do something together.'' She asked. ''It's okay if you already have other plans.''

She was blushing towards the ground.

''No! I mean I do but you can come with me. My mom was expecting the whole gang with me, but they had other plans so you can come with me instead and I'll introduce you to my mom.'' I stated. She nodded her head up and down. ''Just let me drop this inside and we'll get going.''

''Okay,'' I took my bags inside along with my two buddies. I wasn't going to bring them to my mom's with this weather. Then I heard a whimper and noticed that Annabeth had Eli wrapped around a blanket with a little doggie scarf. The little puppy looked like even though she was covered she was cold, however Annabeth seamed ready for it. She had a huge bad with her she took out a thermo with a baby bottle inside and began to feed warm milk.
