The Daughter of Aries: A Percy Jackson Fanfiction

The Switch

Chapter 26: The Switch.

If you ever have the chance to avoid a extremely long car trip with your kinda sorta boyfriend avoid it at all costs. I hate car trips with a passion but this takes it to a whole new level. First the only thing you can doing during car trips is

a.) Stupid car games, which people get annoyed with really quickly,

b.) Music, this only causes arguments because no one can agree on a station and finally….

c.) Talking, this is the one I despise above all others. First everything is happy and light like: how’s life or how do you feel? From here it gets worse from school’s failing grades, boyfriends/girlfriends, never spend time with the family yada yada yada you get the idea. And the worse part about the whole thing is you can’t get away. The only thing you can do is endure the constant nagging, judging and finally arguing. It’s hell on earth. I would rather get my ass kicked by Arnold Schwarzenegger then get dragged behind a horse in the desert for ten miles. I. Hate. Road trips.

The worst part is Booker knows this. He just loves torturing me. I honestly think that’s why god put him on this earth to drive me out of my freaking mind. Between the two of these idiots I’m going to go crazy. We’ve been going nonstop since we ‘negotiated’. I’m pretty sure we’re in Kentucky but I don’t know for sure since I’ve been dosing off a lot and because thing one and two won’t tell me anything. “Can we stop at a gas station or something? A bathroom break would be nice.”

“Yeah because we’ve had so much luck at gas stations. So what’s the plan how are we going to draw monster bitch out?” he asks and I shrug.

“I think once we’re far enough away she’ll find us there’s gotta be a reason she’s waited this long to attack me.”

“You mean she’s tracking us right now?” Booker asks looking out the window.

“It makes sense. It only took her two hours to attack us on our date. Something’s keeping her from showing herself to us.” Logan says and I nod.

“So you two are dating then.” Booker smiles looking between the two of us wiggling his eye brows.

“Kinda.” I say as the same time when Logan says “Yes.” Uh oh. He glares at me in the mirror so I look out the window.

“So you’re kinda dating? How do you even kinda date someone?”

“No were dating.”

“Uh no, we are defiantly in the kinda phase. Just be happy you didn’t get a straight up no.”

“What the hell is that mean?” he growls and I watch his eyes darken but I could care less.

“You know exactly what I mean.” I spit out and his eyes narrow at me in the mirror.“You ignored me for weeks. Kept me in the dark so I thought I was losing it.” he looks away.

“It was for your own protection.”

“Bullshit, that wasn’t the only reason. For some ungodly reason you don’t want to tell me. This is your choice. If you were in my spot and I was in yours I would tell you.” I cross my arms.

“No you wouldn’t.”

“Oh yes I would.”

“Not if it was better I didn’t know.”

“You have an answer for everything don’t you.” I can see him smiling through the mirror. Smug jerk hole. He stays silent and goes back to driving. He’s not getting out of this that easily.
