Remember in Megan Freeman, a woman's husband died? Well, I'll now explain it.

I've been friends with Annabeth ever since kindergarten. There was always something strange about her. I just couldn't put my finger on it. Then in 8th grade, she revealed that she was demigod.

At first, I thought she was joking. She told me in April 1, April Fools day. Can you blame me? April Fools day is a day for pranking and joking people. Then I realized she never jokes as much.

I was shocked at first, but was comfortable with it after 1 day. In the present, I haven't seen Annabeth since the high school reunion that was years ago. That's where I met the love her life, Percy. I thought was trouble, but then I warmed up to him.

She was pregnant with her 2nd child and her oldest, Cast, was 2. I didn't get to see the girl or boy. I moved from San Francisco to Manhattan. That's where I met my husband, Jake Card.

We ran into each other at a cafe. He bumped into me in line and I almost spilled my coffee. It spilled anyway and he bought me a new one. He was so sweet that day.

Now, we have 3 kids. The oldest looks just like Jake. Jacob has the forest green eyes and dark brown hair. He's 24. He loves art and photography.

The middle child is Jackson or Jack. He has dark brown hair and sky blue eyes. He's 21 years old and is a big troublemaker. He loves pranks, sports, and drums.

The youngest is Hope. She has auburn hair and forest green eyes. She's 17 years old and LOVES nature. She loves going into the woods to explore. Animals love her back. She's very good with plants too.

I still remember when Jake died. Hope blames herself, but it wasn't her fault.

Hope was 4 at the time. We were all outside in the backyard. I was planting flowers in the flower bed. Jake and Jackson were having a water balloon fight and Jacob was reading and occasionally helping me plant.

Hope was curious and wandered off deep into the woods. After I was done I called everyone inside. Jack realized we forgot Hope and Jake ran out to find her. My sons and I followed him.

We searched the woods, calling out her name. We found her playing with some rocks. We called to her and she looked up. She was about to come to us, but she followed a blue butterfly.

She was heading near a cliff. We screamed her name, but she was already out of our limit. Jake sprinted to her. Then a giant manticore appeared from nowhere. He was about to grab Hope, but Jake cut it with a really sharp stick.

While he was fighting the creature, I grabbed Hope. Jake fought for a couple of minutes, but the manticore sliced his chest. I screamed and went over to him. I took him to the nearest hospital, which was in Long Island.

At the hospital, I ran into Annabeth and Percy. Ethan broke his leg and arm while fighting a Ares kid. I told them what happened and they comforted me and my kids.

The nurse called my name and I left the kids with Percy. Jake was on the hospital bed, very weak and pale. He told me it was his time, but refused to acknowledge the fact. I was determined that he was going to make it.

After a stern warning, I finally acknowledged it. He requested to see our children one last time. Of course, I grabbed the children.

He told them to be strong and brave. He would always be with them and encourage them. He told Hope to never blame herself.

He told me that he loved me with all his heart. He never regretted him bumping into me at the cafe. He was glad he met me. I cried. We hugged him until the monitor was flat.

I remembered that how Annabeth and Percy helped us get through our toughest part of our lives.

I could see Hope, sitting nervously in her seat. Her gown was shining in the lights and her cap was sitting proudly on her head.

I wish Jake could see her.

"Hope Melissa Summers-Card."

Hope went up to the stage. She was also valedictorian. She gave her speech and it was beautiful. Then she got to the most beautiful part in her speech.

"I'd also like to thank my father, Jake Hayden Card. He died when I was 4, but her told me to be strong and be brave. He said to never give up and there's away out of anything. He said 'hitting rock bottom isn't the end of the world. The best part is that you can move up into a better surface.'"

Everyone cheered and clapped.

I clapped and at the corner of my eye, I swear I saw Jake in a tux, clapping with the audience. His eyes portrayed love, warmth, happiness, and pride.

Not really Percabeth, but the next one will be, I promise 👌🏻, will definitely be Percabeth. It'll be the cliche story, but with a twist😉

Q: Cual es tú pelicula favorita este año? JK!😋 You don't need to know Spanish! Here's the translation(if needed): What is your favorite movie this year?

My answer: My favorite movie this year was either Finding Dory or Dreamworks Trolls. Moana was great too, but not top 3. The new movie, Sing, will hopefully be good.
