Déjà Vu {A Luke Castellan Story} [Three]

•Fifteen•

I looked over to the person sitting on the ground, at least that's where I thought the voice had come from. They look up with disbelief, and our eyes connect. "I thought he was just lying." I couldn't gather any words together, they all jumbled around in my head instead of stringing together to form a sentence. I stood there with my mouth hanging open, how'd he find me? He chuckled a bit, "Well are you just gonna stand there or hug me?" I realized I hadn't said anything this whole time. I stepped towards him and gave him a hug. I let out a deep breath and laugh a bit, "Good to see you Percy." I let go to see his stupid smile plastered all over his face, "I can't believe you're actually back." I looked down, 'How many times have I heard that already?' "You okay?" I glance up at his tired Sea Green eyes, they still had the small sparkle in them. "Yeah. Great. Isn't it late for you to be up?" He shrugged, "Jason told me he saw you, I couldn't sleep without seeing it for myself." I smiled, it warmed my heart a bit just too see he could't sleep over me.

"Well I'm pretty sure it's almost three in the morning, why don't you go get some sleep and we could talk tomorrow? Over some lunch?" He smiles a bit, "Yeah, that sounds great." I unlock the entrance and step in, "Now go get some sleep before Annabeth knows you're gone." Percy's cheeks redden and he rubs the back of his neck, throwing around some of his already messy jet black hair, "You know?" I just nod in response. "About that," Percy starts but I cut him off. "Tomorrow Seaweed Brain." He gives me half a smile, "right. Good night (Y/N)." The son of Poseidon starts to walk away from my complex, "Goodnight." I head towards my front door in order to actually get some sleep. I walk in to be met with silence. I drop the apartment keys on the kitchen counter and head towards the rooms, I stop by the guest to make sure the boys were sleeping. I slowly open the door to not wake them, for once the door made no noise. Logan was passed out on the bottom bunk while Luke was peacefully sleeping on top bunk. It made me smile.

I left them to sleep and went to my bed. I took in the darkness of the room and grabbed my pajama bottoms, slipping them back on instead of my jeans. Shivering from the December weather, I snuggled up with the blanket laying on the bed. It was cold at first, lacking any human contact but finally warmed up from whatever body heat I was radiating. I stayed like that a bit, trying to stay warm. I thought about everything, seeing Percy again and how Jason had told him. Jason told him? Wow, I would've thought Piper would be the one to tell, just from the way she stared at me. I shook my head and brought the blanket closer to my body. It definitely easy to drift off to sleep in these conditions.

I woke up the next morning to a warm environment. The hallway lights were on and shining through the bottom of the door. I heard people moving around in the kitchen and talking, the boys must be up. I silently stand up from the bed and stretch. Heading over to the kitchen, I smell someone cooking and it actually smells amazing. Logan is sitting on the stool waiting to be served from Luke. 'He knows how to cook?' Of course he does, He's an adult. "Morning." I look to Logan who was smiling to me, "Good morning." I sit down next to him and watch as Luke makes plates for all three of us. He places two plates in front of us, one for Logan and one for me. We both thank him and start to eat. "I was thinking of taking Logan to walk around for his last day here, just to explore." I look up from my food to see Luke looking back, I hadn't realized that he was talking to me.

"That sounds nice, you two should go have fun." Logan looks to me confused, "You're not going with us?" I shake my head, and tell them both I have plans to catch up with an old friend. "An old friend?" Luke raises an eyebrow at me, how did I know that he would question me? 'It's pretty obvious because he likes you.' Obvious? He straight out told me. I nod in response to my roommate. "Who?" I started to panic on the inside, I can't tell him I'm going to go see my ex. It would destroy him. 'Why do you care? It's not like you like him back.' I don't have to like him to care, that's something a high schooler would say. 'You have the mind of a fifteen year-old.' I gathered together any answer I could find. "Just a old friend, you didn't know them." Luke looked back to the dishes he had used, "Oh, okay. Have fun." I knew he wasn't going to let this go. I stood up from the stool and went to go get dressed, I needed to leave before I went crazy.
