I've been searching for Annabeth for over 4 days now, and with each day my fear grew worse. I had contacted the police and they had taken the liberty of putting up Missing posters but I knew that wouldn't do much. Jason and Piper didn't know about this yet, mostly because they are still not released from the hospital and also because no one had the courage to tell them. Only me, Thalia, Magnus, and Leo knew about it. Today although Jason was getting discharged from the hospital and Thalia had taken one for the team and decided to tell him.
I sat impatiently outside Jason's hospital room with Leo waiting for Thalia to sign some papers to get Jason out. Piper had to stay longer, and it really hit us right in the gut when the doctors told us that she had internal bleeding in her brain, her surgery is due for tomorrow. I heard a door opening next to me and saw Jason in his regular clothes looking perfectly normal with two new additions of a cast on his leg and crutches. He smiled at us and I just couldn't help it I needed my man more than ever right now. I went up to him and gave him the biggest hug I could he hugged me back at least attempted to with his crutches. I having a moment caught up in all the drama and the people I've lost that a single tear escaped the corner of my eye before I could stop it. As I pulled away I could see Jason's eyes were teared up as well. "I've missed you man" I said. "Same here" he responded. Thalia picked up one of Jason's hospital bags when Leo woke up from his little nap, when he saw Jason he went ballistic. He almost knocked Jason down trying to hug him and in the midst of all that Leo was yelling at him about everything and anything it was crazy but brought everyone a sense of relief. "Valdez I've missed you man" Jason said with a big smile. Leo just slapped Jason across the arm and became the ultimate soccer mom, "If you ever try something like that again I will kill you" he said as shoved his finger towards Jason's face the gave him the biggest hug I've ever seen. Thalia interrupted our little bromance moment when she coughed loudly signaling that we had to finish up, "The limo is waiting out the back we have to go" she announced. "Wait... All of us?" I looked at her with a confused look in her face. She looked at me with this duh expression, "No, Kelp Head we are just going to leave you here. Everyone is staying and the estate just outside the city till you know what is resolved" Jason eyed us suspiciously but decided to drop it. I smiled, "So who else is coming?" Thalia grinned which is a look that kind of scared me, but I already knew the answer to my question. This was going to be epic, if it wasn't for all the wrong reasons.
.................................. At the Estate
The 2 hour ride out of NYC was worth it once you saw the estate. It was HUGE but this is coming from a kid who lives in a 4 room apartment. Paul had taken my mom on their honeymoon and she wasn't in town. As we stepped in the house a butler showed us our rooms. My room was blue with a king size bed and a small balcony looking back to the garden. When I opened the drawers they were filled with clothes that are way out my usual price range. All this new things almost took my mind of Annabeth, almost. The only reason we were staying in this estate was because our dorms were under investigation for Annabeths disappearance. I missed her, I missed her bad and I felt so guilty for the small pleasure I had taken in this because she wasn't here to share it with me. I looked at the blue polo shirts with a guilty look.
From the bedroom adjacent to mine I heard a very loud, "WAIT WHAT?!?" Looks like someone got a nice dose of bad news. Then my bedroom door burst open and Jason came and hugged me hard crying. "I'm-I'm-I'm so sorry man I had no idea" he continued crying into the hug and Thalia went to get him a box of tissues. Jason had known Annabeth for a very long time since his sister and her had been best friends for many many years. Jason pulled away from the hug and wiped his eyes from under his glasses. During that split second I looked at Thalia and asked her with my eyes if she had told him the other news, she looked down and shook her head then she looked at me and gave this ill-kill-you-if-you-tell stare. I got her message loud and clear, but the worse thing you can do is keep secrets about loved ones. I looked him in the eye and just before I started Leo walked into the room shirtless with his loose cargo pants, "I'll tell him" he said his voice was low and very gloomy sounding. Jason just looked around at us with an innocent puppy look that we all had to look away from, "Tell me what? What happened? Thalia? Percy?" Then Leo waved at Jason for him to follow. Jason got up and I did not want to be here for his reaction so I went outside to the garden. ---------------------------- Jason
I feel like everyone has been hiding something from me all day and turns out my instinct was correct. Now I was being dragged out of Percy's room to the kitchen to find out what that something was. Leo was avoiding my eyes and that was not okay because me and Leo were best friends. Leo walked to the fridge took out a bottle of orange juice and grabbed two cups from the cupboard. I was sitting on the island and he sat next to and handed me a cup filled with orange juice. I gladly took it but I could tell he was just stalling on the real reason we were there. When he finally looked me in the eye his eyes were red and puffy signs that he had been crying. He sipped some orange juice, "Listen man, Piper..." I did not have a good feeling on what he was going to say next. "Jason, damn man you know what, Piper has a internal bleeding in her brain." He said half sobbing. My heart broke, thin memories of Reyna throwing a brick at her flashed by. I was angry but beyond that I was devastated. I got up and headed for the front door but Leo stopped me, "You can't man, I can't let you do that, you hurt her more than you can imagine" I tried to fight him but that was hard to do in crutches. Him and Percy dragged my sorry ass up to my room and laid me on the bed. As they left me there they gave me a look of sympathy, after I heard the click of the door closing I started sobbing. I had hurt her so bad and I would propably never make up for it, I wouldn't blame her if she hated me I would hate me too at this point. I had left her alone when she needed me the most and it was unfair of me to get jealous when she was with Magnus. I had dumped her for Reyna and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life. I was in such denial of my true feelings that the consequences had led to internal bleeding. I took my pillow and buried my face in it. I don't deserve her l, I never did ,and I never will, she is too perfect to be flawed by somebody like me. But yet still through out what I had put her through she had told me she loved me. ---------------------------- Annabeth
The Count my ex drug dealer also known as my ex boyfriend Luke Castellan had kidnapped me. I was terrified for my life I remember how he used to cheat on me and blame it on md because "I didn't satisfy him enough". I remember when he dated Thalia, before me, he hit her and she had a dark bruise in her cheek bone when she went to school the next day. When we dated I was mostly under the influence of drugs that he had sold me. There are many nights I do not remember but I was very sure he had taken advantage of me several times. And when I broke up with him I filled a restraining order against him and reported him for drug dealing. He had gone to jail for 2 years and now he was out and ready for payback. If someone didn't find me soon, I had a bad feeling that they would find me dead. But I couldn't and wouldn't let that happen ever.
