Breathing Next To You (Percy Jackson)

Chapter Six

Percy

Apparently they got Meg. Without Charm speak. But um...

Piper died on the way there. In Missouri. I tried to warn that they don't go on the Arch, but they did anyways. Even sent photos of it to us.

She was pushed off by a monster at the top. Jason in the thing before and Leo afterwards.

Not long before dinner I got a call.

"Hey, um, so Annabeth is in labor." Will told me.

"Why do I care?"

"Annabeth is in labor."

"Yeah and I'm not becoming a dad any time soon whatsoever. I just got here, I am not doing those stairs again."

"She's your girlfriend."

"No, she's not. But if she's in labor, do your job and deliver the baby."

"There 4 of them."

"Then deliver all four. Just go do it."

Paul heard my end and became confused. Mom in the bathroom.

"Will calling about Annabeth," I explained, " she's in labor."

Before he could say anything, and you could tell he was pissed.

"I'm not the Dad. Don't yell at me because she had an affair."

He didn't yell at me, he questioned why it took me so long to break up with her.

"Because I didn't want to die last summer."

Anyways, a call came in and Paul answers. Said it was for me. Daniel, a good friend of mine from school. He's openly gay, I'm open to a whole one, possibly 2 people.

My parents are not those people.

But I feel like Paul just knows anyways. Like I'm pretty sure he figured it out but didn't want to seem offensive or anything.

So Daniel comes over and of course the small child loved Daniel. That his only downfall of being gay, he wants kids that are his own and also somebody he cares about. But he's gay. That doesn't work out like that.

Um... Nico and I didn't last long. Will got his wish. He got his Nico and his Nico was okay with that. So I just said whatever, they can have fun, I'll just go home and heal there.

I mean, it was just this morning and it was probably pity.

But anyways, Daniel showed up wearing a Welcome To Night Vale shirt and black skinny jeans as he normally wears skinny jeans. I don't know, it suites him. But he dyed his hair once again ever since school got out two weeks ago. It was a dark teal now.

We all had dinner together and I helped Mom put the baby to bed as Daniel and Paul were talking about what, I don't know.

After that Daniel and I resided to my room.

"Now question," I had been waiting for it," what happened to your foot?"

"I broke it," I told him, " fell backwards and it wasn't a small fall. Landed on it weird."

Daniel knows that of my depression.

"How far was this fall?"

"10 stories..."

"Percy!"

"Shut up, my parents don't know yet," I told him, " they knew I broke my foot falling but I got back home tonight. I'm going to try to ease them into it. It was planned or anything, there was an argument that just got way out of proportion and some things were said that were taken in wrong ways and yeah..."
