Lost And Found

Chapter 10: Relief

Andromeda's POV

As I waited outside of the infirmary on the steps, somebody had walked up beside me and sat down next to me. It had been three hours since I had last saw Jason and I was getting worried.

The person who had sat down beside hadn't said word, but when I looked up to see who it was, it was Connor Stoll son of Hermes God of travel and messengers. When I looked up to see him sitting there looking at me already, he had a small smile on his face.

"how are you holding up?" he asks with a hint of concern, but all I was, was confused. I raised an eyebrow at him as to ask "explain".

A sigh had escaped through his red plump lips and a look of worry was shone through his beautiful baby blue eyes, the kind that are like the sky on a sunny day and shine when talking about something they love. I had learned to read peoples faces when I was littler so I could now tell when someone's lying on that you always have to go to the eyes when the mouth won't tell the truth.

I think after a minute of starring into each other's eyes he came to the conclusion of what I was asking, he turned his head away so I was now looking at the left side of his head. He had light brown hair, that was kinda curly.

" um me and my friends saw that you came back with a Apollo and that Apollo had Jason I his arms, we also saw him carry him to the infirmary and that it looked like you were crying over here so I came to check on you" he says to me but doesn't look at me, he just continues to look at the ground.

"oh" I say quietly as I feel another wave of guilt hit me like a soccer ball to the gut. I all of sudden feel sick to my stomach as he brings up the accident that I've been trying to block out for the past three hours.

I feel him wrap his left arm over my shoulders and whisper "its going to be okay he's strong", I try to believe and have hope of what he's saying as I rest my head on his shoulder. I had no idea why I had just done that, but I found comfort when I did.

I breath in a shaky breath and try my best not to cry as the pain in my head grows stronger and the sick feeling becomes almost unbearable, but a few tears slip and I try to wipe them away before Connor can see me crying but he does and pulls me into a hug.

"Its my fault he's in there, I shouldn't have been joking and trying to get a reaction out of him" I whisper into Connor's chest as he gives me a tight squeeze and whispers into my hair "its not your fault accident's like this always happen to the best of people" he tell me and stop crying and try to pull myself together but it doesn't work as the pain because to strong for me to handle and I break down, right then and there on the infirmary steps.

I could only imagine the looks I'm getting from people as they walk by. I felt alone and empty inside as I broke down and cried heavily onto Connor's chest. The sight of seeing so much blood gush out of one person's body made my head and stomach hurt more then they already did, but seeing one of my brothers friends almost bleed to death just made my heart hurt.

"shhh" Connor would whisper to me along with "your okay" but I knew the drill already and it didn't make me better. Nobody had been there and saw what had happen, I was alone in that truck trying to stop a bleeding man from dying and never getting to say goodbye.

"I was alone and I had tried to stop a bleeding man from dying" I whisper quietly to Connor as he stops the "ahh" and the "your okay" 's.

he pulls me away from him and cups my face with his hands, he takes his thumbs and wipes away the tears on his face.

"if he survives what had happen then he's alive, but if he dies you can get blamed and have guilt but what you said " I was alone and I tried to stop a bleeding man from dying" means you tried your hardest and thought of a plan and for demigod that means a lot more then you think, you helped him and kept him alive long enough to get help and nobody can hold that against you as long as you tried your best" he tell me with a look of determination written on his face, he was trying to help and I took it. For once in my life nobody was looking down on me as a mistake and I was grateful so I did the most normal thing I hugged him, I hugged him tight as he did the same thing.

"thank-you" I whisper into his ear as I set my chin on his right shoulder and my arms wrapped around his neck while his chin was on my right shoulder and his arms wrapped around my waist squeezing tightly.

We had stayed like this for a moment before that moment was interupeded by a cough. we had in latched our selves from the hug and turned around to be face to face with the Apollo god of medicine and song, and archery.

"So what's up Doc" Connor said to Apollo and Apollo had a sly smirk on his face just like Connor, Connor had a crooked smile and it matched his crooked sense of humor.

I let out a shy and quiet giggle at Connor's attempt at making joke.

Apollo turned to me with a serious face when I had stopped giggling. "Miss Jackson" he asks me and nod in a gesture as to ask "yes?". " Jason will be fine all he needs is some rest and that wound will be held in no time he just needs to take it easy, I sender Hermes to go a get the truck and bring it back, as for you, you saved the boy's life he would've been dead in a moments time if you hadn't had thought of using duck tap and the coat as a bandage and a exacto knife to get the shard of glass out, you will do good in the future I see it in your eyes Miss Jackson" he tells me and I give him a soft smile.

"Now let's see what happened to you" he tells me and moves one of his hands in front of me and moves it up and down in the air as if to scan me.

"you have a mild concussion and a few bruised ribs, you'll have a headache for a while just eat some ambrosia for the pain and maybe some nectar, I have to get going your friend should wake up in a hour or so" He tells us and then Connors tells me to close my eyes and I do so as Apollo leaves us.

Connor turns to me with a wide smile, "see he's alive" he tells me and gives me a quick side hug before getting up and leaving to wherever he was going, probably back to his friends.

"yah what a relief" I say to myself as I get up with a small grunt from the pain in my stomach and head, and I make my way over to my cabin to take a well needed nap.
