My Idiot! (Sequel to My Rival!)

Ch 7

TW: abuse, violence, and homophobia; also this is when he was in senior year of high school

*Jason's Pov*
I headed down to breakfast. When Thalia was around it was homey but now that she's with her girlfriend it feels nothing like a home. Leo's house even feels more like a home.

"Son!" My dad yelled. I flinched and gulped. I quickly made my way to the kitchen. The kitchen was pearly white and everything was clean.

"Yes?" I asked. My dad came over and hit me straight across the face.

"What is the meaning of this!" He yelled.

"The meaning of what?" I asked holding back tears. He smacked me harder.

"I thought you were going to marry a woman but I find out from Poseidon that your gay! You are such a disgrace to this family." He smacked me again. My dad marched out of the kitchen and my mom looked pissed.

"Jason." She said softly. "Why are you gay? It's a phase and when you get older you will marry a woman. I will make sure of it and dear tell anyone about this I will send your friends far, far away." Her blonde hair shined from the sun coming in.

"Mom, I love Leo! We've been together since junior year. I will never love a girl." I yelled. She grabbed an empty beer bottle and hit it over my head. It shattered and my mom left out the kitchen. Drops of blood fell down my face from my forehead. Tears started to pour out. I ran up to my room and locked the door. I fell down to the floor and cried.

Why was my family like this? What did I do to deserve this horrible family. The only person I loved from my family was Thalia but she moved to college. Percy and Nico didn't know this. I didn't want anyone to know. Thalia never knew I got hurt. My theory on that is because she was dad's favorite. Always daddy's little princess. Percy how would he react. He has been abused before by his step father before Paul. He shouldn't know. He has enough to deal with. Nico oh poor sweet Nico. He could never I mean ever know of this. He also has enough on his plate especially with Bianca's death anniversary coming up. Leo oh Leo. His mental health has improved so much over the summer he doesn't need to know. I would be the one taking care of him. I would be protecting him, he shouldn't have to protect me. Nobody needs to know. I've been the strong cousin and friend. I was not going to let that change.

I got up and went to my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and my glasses were broken. Luckily for me I have many pairs. My whole face was stained red and blood was still gushing out. I grabbed a rag and wet it. I placed it to my forehead to stop the bleeding. I had hand marks from my dad smacking me.

Should I kill Zeus and Beryl off? I don't know.

I love you all and have a blessed day/night!🌻
