The Secret of Us (PJO X KOTLC crossover)

Annabeth's pov

Sounds. Loud noises filling my eardrums. I opened my eyes to see a girl and a boy towering over me holding some sort of board. My vision blurry, noises blurred together into a dull sound that's almost unbearable.

I sit up only to be hit with waves of nausea and a giant headache. I clutched my head as the doctor—wait doctor? or is it a nurse?----asks me some simple questions since they said that I hit my........ head?

"Miss Chase, unfortunately you are diagnosed with slight brain confusion due to the impact of hitting the back seat too hard." the doctor said, then my whole world is flipped upside down.

-time skip-

I understand most things without getting them confused now. Piper's mom—Aphrodite has been by my side from 7am to 4pm patiently telling me the rights and wrongs of my opinions.

She's really been a humongous help for me after I am diagnosed with slight brain confusion. Now I can practically list things, call memories, or people's names without getting them confused.

But a name lurks at the back of my mind—Sophie Foster.

-2 days later-

I finally gathered up enough courage to ask the nurse standing in the far corner of my room to visit a girl named Sophie Foster. She agreed.

The nurse knocked on the door and went in first to get Sophie's permission, she agreed.

I step into her room to see bouquets of flowers sent by probably the orphanage with some get well soon cards. Then I turn my gaze to the person I've been dying to meet.
She looks..... so.......... Sophie. The same golden blonde hair that reaches just past her shoulders and with eyes that are warm brown with golden flecks, wearing these dull white hospital robes.

I decided to help break the tension and silence. "Hi" I said, realizing how long I haven't actually used my voice to talk to someone other than answering Aphrodite's questions.
"Hi" she replied in a soft voice.

Once that voice hits the recognition button in my mind, words I've wanted to tell her start to tumble out of my mouth.
"Sophie.... I'm so glad to have met you again. I didn't know that I could!! I miss you so so so so much especially when I'm watching the talent show. This year's talent show SUCKED because we weren't there to audition and do our singing performance together. Percy has been really nice to me lately and–"

"Um I'm sorry but I have no idea who you are" Sophie cut me off, she doesn't sound angry nor annoyed, just............ neutral.
I stopped rambling and stared at her. I stared into those warming eyes thinking of how I did the same the first time I met her. Realization seemed to sink into her as she realized how close we must've been.

But I don't even care, what she said is what she said. So I left with hot tears rolling down my face, not bothering to utter a goodbye because of what she did to me.

Only then did I know that she is diagnosed with amnesia.

-a month later-

I am free of brain confusion now. My life has gotten back to normal, going to school with my friends; having sleepovers in Percy's house; going to prom with friends........ Such fun memories.

I didn't even bother to try contacting Sophie anymore, since she probably still doesn't remember me and she might be busy.

But she just has this power to make my thoughts keep drifting towards her...

-a week later-

"Did you hear about the orphanage closing?" a girl beside me asks her friend.
"Yeah!! Orphans are being transferred to another local orphanage, how tragic." her friend replied with fake sympathy. They both laughed and walked away.

Orphanage closing??!!
The first thing that came into mind was Sophie.

I ran into the library to do some deeper research about this and the nearest local orphanage.

The famous Vackers' Orphanage will be closing today due to them moving to San Diego. The orphans will be relocated in the nearest local orphanage called Abby's Orphanage due to them being business friends. There is no further information about the reopening of the Vackers' Orphanage in San Diego.

We will dive deeper into the situation and keep you updated, please stay tuned for more.

I grabbed my stuff and practically leaped out of my seat when the bells of last period rang. I dashed out of school and into Abby's Orphanage.

"Excuse me miss, do you have a girl named Sophie Foster here from the Vackers' Orphanage?" I asked, rushing through my words.
"No, but we do have a Sophie Lean." she replied, then continued to read her magazine.

I huffed in annoyance and took one last look at the orphanage and left.
I guess we're really separated now.

Good luck Sophie, and thank you, for everything.
