The Hero Trio (PJO X HP X OC fanfic)

Chapter Six: To Independence Part 2

<Milo's POV> Present day

Milo jumps up on his bed and looks at his phone. He got a text from Cali. A rare thing he thought. Cali wasn't much of a texter more of a scream across the room gal.

Squinting closely he reads, 'Be at Rose's in 5'

Milo replies with an 'Okie Dokie'

Milo got up from his bed and went down the stairs. His dad was on a date with some girl he met at the gas station the other day, so he had the whole house to himself. Slipping on his shoes he opens the door and locks it behind him. He had memorized how to walk to Rose's home since he was eight. Going down the sidewalk and making a few turns. He saw Cali looking down at her phone as she crossed the street.

"Cali, car!" he yells even though there's no car in sight

Calla just looks up from her phone and at Milo

"Go dig a hole," she says pocketing her phone

"Dam, ok are you on your period today?" Milo asks with a smile

Calla stares daggers at him. It would work if she didn't have such blue eyes. Blue is his favorite color.

"You know that doesn't work on me."

"Ugh, Milo can't you just leave me alone for once,"

"Sure if that's what you want," he says "Princess," he adds.

She once again shot him the look saying "What did I say about calling me that?"

"To never do that and if I did I would regret it," he says bobbling is head

She sighs, "Can you stop for once,"

"Ok," Milo says not even thinking about it

"Great now let's see what Rose has to show us,"

They were walking to the front of the house from the right when Milo say something moving in the window.

"Um, isn't that Rose jumping out the window."

"It is," Calla says "Oh no. You know how she always jokes about running away."

"Yeah,"

"I doing it for real now,"

They start speed walking over to her and go behind the buches. When they see her back. Milo grabs her shoulder.

"And just where do you think you're going?"  he asks with a serious face. Calla stands behind him quizzically looking at her.

Rose turns round, startled.

"Well." she looks at the floor sheepishly, " I've reached my limit. I've had it with that bitch." she bitterly clenches her fists.

Calla opens her mouth "Rose what exactly are you panning to do?"

Milo says "Stupid idea, if you ask me,"

Rose looks at Milo "You don't know half the shit I've been through,"

"Cause you don't tell anyone,"

"You want to know then," Rose says her nose flaring up "My so called mother just called me a pathetic, ugly, rude, stupid, brainless, worthless, piece of garbage. Then she trashed my art," her eyes start watering up, "And - and you want to know what I did after that?"

Milo didn't trust himself to speak.

"What," Calla said softly

"I hit her," she whispers "a lot,"
