The new girl

Chapter 38

Annabeth's POV.

And then she shot herself. I can't believe it, really. She's gone. I know she was crazy and all, but she didn't use to be. She was so caring and understanding at the point of my life.

In someway I feel that the death of my mother is on my hands. I gave her the stress and now she's dead. Forever.

Nurse's and doctors came rushing in while clearing the room. Percy grabbed Noah and headed out the door. I was kind of jealous that he got to hold him longer than me. It's kind of selfish of me, but I couldn't honestly care less.

"Sweety, we're just going to put you in a wheelchair and get you out of here." One of the nurse's helped me out of the bed.

"What's going to happen?!" I asked. I didn't get to hear her response as my eyes drooped off to sleep.

Percy's POV.

"She asleep right now. She'll be awake soon." I assured Nico. He looked very stressed for some reason. I mean he and Annabeth are not the best of friends since the day we met her. Come to think of it, we were all a different person back then.

I used to have a mohawk and a lip ring. Now I have shaggy hair and no lip ring. Annabeth says I look like a dork, but she said that I was her dork. But I still don't want to be a dork.

Nico was a little more talkative, but now he has grown to be very quiet and likes to keep to himself. I've seen people go from quiet to loud, but not the other way around. Doesn't matter, though because he'll always be one of my best friends.

"Okay." He said. I nodded and patted his back supportively with the hand I wasn't holding Noah with.

"Nico." I said.

"What?" He asked as he looked into my eyes.

"Not to be rude or anything, but why do you care so much about Annabeth?"I asked. He looked taken back from my question and shrugged. He leaned his head back on the wall and turned to look at me.

"You're one of my best buddies, and she means a lot to you, so she means a lot to me too. Plus, she's kind of entertaining. I mean no offense, but she's a crazy girl." Nico replied honestly.

"I couldn't agree more." I said.

The was a long period of silence before he started to speak again.

"What are we going to do now? Our parents are coming to take us home. We go back to school and what? Pretend nothing ever happened or maybe something is going to change. And what about Noah, who's going to take care of him while you and Annabeth are at school?" He asked. He had a lot of questions that needed to be answered.

"Well I'm thinking since Annabeth and I are going back to school, well my aunt is coming over to stay at our house awhile, that she can take care of him.

"What's your aunt's name?" He asked.

"Artemis." I replied.

"Wow, so many Greek names." Nico said. I shook my head and smiled.

"You have no idea." And for once in a long time I relaxed. Everything thing is going to be fine. Well as long as I'm with Annabeth, there is no fine in anything.

Finally a chapter without a cliffhanger. It gives you time to digest and take everything that happened in.

Thank you for the votes and comments. I really appreciate it.
