The life of Annabeth Chase (a Percy Jackson Fanfic)

A Bit of Surprise

Hey guys! It's always nice to get positive comments, but I would really like to know what we do badly. As a writer I really like that stuff, it can be if a character has no dimension, not enough detail or we don't see them a lot, we would really just like some comments going over that. Thanks! :)

Piper P.O.V.

I stood in front of my building holding Charlie in my arms, looking at Drew.  I knew I should thank her.

For once I didn't see the years of putting weird substances in my shampoo, or cutting off my barbies heads, sabotaging my first date; I saw instead her face as she defended Annabeth, defended me, came out to her family. In the rush of the moment I surged forward and wrapped my arms around her. Drew returned the hug shakily, and after a minute Charlie joined in too, cooing happily.

And all I could think to say was "Thanks." Even though I wanted to say more, that word expressed my feelings in a way hundreds could try but fail.

"I'm sorry," She choked out, "for everything." She hugged me tightly in return.

"Don't be. Want to come in for a cup of coffee?" I feel like I should defiantly have a better relationship with Drew, she needed me, and to be honest I needed her.

"That would be really nice actually." She nodded wiping at her eyes.

"Happy!" Charlie cheered pointing at Drew, clapping his hands.

"Oh my gosh!" I looked at the little boy in my arms, "That was your first word! I'll remember this night forever." I smiled at Charlie and looked meaningfully at Drew.

"Let's get some coffee." I motioned for her to follow me.

"Down to the garage please." I motioned for Drew to hand her keys to the door man.

"Yes mam." he hurried to the car and drove it down.

"So, is 'this' a new found thing?" I asked, sipping my coffee.

She nodded, slowly sipping hers.

"Yeah, I started admiring one of my, uh . . . friends." I knew what she was talking about-one of her little minions, they followed her around everywhere.

"I thought it was just because she was doing a good job, you know finding dirt about people. But then my feelings started to go more to the side of being romantic. I asked her out, but of course she turned me down, I was kicked out of my friend group. And my uh . . . dorm." Drew looked down at her shoes, fumbling with her coffee cup.

"What!" I exclaimed, "I could not have heard that right, they kicked you out for being bi?"

"They said it wasn't because of that, they said it was complaints from students, my former friends, feeling uncomfortable with me being there. And the teachers didn't want me in their classes either, so . . . here I am."

"Drew that's terrible! Why didn't you tell mom or anything?" I looked at her, wanting desperately to make things better.

"I thought she would react like my dad did."

"Did he kick you out of the house?" I got a nod. "That fucking bastard! Fucking parents these days, they all suck!" I kicked the counter, which was a very bad idea, "Ow! Shit that hurt!"

"Piper! it's ok, calm down." Drew hurried over to try to keep me from kicking the wall again.

"Oh my god!" I just remembered something that would help in this situation, "There is a spare room upstairs, it's pretty empty and dusty - we have just been using it for storage - but it's pretty nice! You could come live with us." I flung my arms up in the air, as to say 'victory' but instead I managed to whack Drew in the face.
