Heroes of Olympus Children

'Official' Adults

A/N: Okay we're jumping forward in time a bit (haven't fine one of these in a while). This is a collective celebration of Alex, Lily, Trenton, Jake, and Angel's 18th birthdays. Takes place around Thanksgiving. Let the chapter begin. The picture is what the guys jump off of.

They were 18. They were officially adults and would be heading off to college soon.

"You okay Lily?" Angel asked as she braided her friends dark hair.

"Huh? Yeah I'm fine." Lily said st a ring out her bedroom window. She, her cousins, and Jake's girlfriend were in her room waiting for the guys to come home.

"So what exactly are the guys doing?" She asked tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.

"Terra, trust me when I say you most likely don't want to know." Inara sighed

"Why not?" Terra asked looking confused. "I mean it can't be that bad right?"

"Not bad." Isobel laughed. "Just stupid."

"You sure Angel won't be mad at me?" Trenton asked looking down at the water.

"Of course not." Jake scoffed. "Terra however is sure to dump me...which in this instance would actually be very good."

"What's wrong now?" Alex asked looking at his younger cousin.

"She's starting to act like we're gonna get married. I mean don't get me wrong, she's great and I really like her-"

"You don't love her and she's already named the four kids you're gonna have together." Alex sighed.

"You speak from experience?" Trenton asked raising an eyebrow.

"Not exactly." Alex said. "More of I was falling for her and she was only with me to make an ex-boyfriend jealous. I figured from the way you two acted you weren't being honest with how you felt about her."

"So what if I'm not in love with her? I'm only 18. I shouldn't be in love yet." Jake sighed his hazel eyes looking paler than usual.

"Well that makes sense." Trenton laughed. "I mean I've only been with Angel, but even I know that I'm too young to be in love. She feels the same."

"Really?" Jake snorted. "You sure she feels the same?"

"I heard them taking about it earlier today." Alex admitted crossing his arms. "Anyways, we gonna do this or not?"

"Yeah." Jake said scratching his forehead. "Let's do it."

The guys had been gone for a couple hours and the girls decided to go looking for them. By the time they got to the lake they saw Alex and Trenton trying and failing to get Jake into Alex's truck.

"What happened?" Lily asked as they raced to the guys. "What's wrong with-"

"Oh no." Isobel groaned looking at the bone sticking out of Jake's leg. "Why didn't you call an ambulance?"

"Because Your dad's working a night shift Belle." Trenton snapped. "None of our parents can know."

"I don't think you realize how stupid that sounds!" Terra screeched at the teens.

"Sorry that my parents are gonna kill me if they find out." Jake snapped at the black haired girl. "I'm just trying to stay alive until I move out."

"This," Terra gestured to Jake's blood covered leg. "this is one thing that will most likely kill you. and I'm not sticking around for that."

The teens stared at Terra's retreating back as she ran to some girls and asked for a ride. Inara let out a low whistle as Lily reached for her phone.

"Whoa." Jake asked as Alex and Trenton set him on the ground carefully. "What are you doing Lil?"

"I'm calling an ambulance." Lily responded rolling her blue-green eyes. "We kind of have to. You're bone is sticking out of your fucking leg!"

"No, no, no, no and no." Jake shouted, shaking his head and tightly holding onto his bloodied leg. "Belle's dad is working a late shift. He'll rat me out to my parents."

"That's gonna happen either way man." Trenton snapped. "We can't take you home; you'll get caught right away. We can't just leave you here; you'll get a horrible ass infection. The best option is to get your ass to the hospital."

"And even if my dad doesn't see you there he'll know anyways." Isobel groaned, closing her blue eyes and shaking her head. "He knows everyone in the hospital so he'll know the second we get you into ER. Plus you have to stay overnight at the hospital then they have to make sure it's clean enough to put it into a cast. And you know fully well how long casts have to be on. And since this is a compound fracture, it's gotta be on longer. Honestly Jake, whatever the hell you did it's the first thing ever."

"I can't go to the hospital." Jake sighed tears slipping down his cheeks.

"Too bad." Angel stated plainly. "Ambulance is already on its way. And the operator said she knew Jake's name. Really though, you've been to the hospital one too many times."

Jake groaned and stared down at the bone sticking out and the blood running down.

"What did you do?" Inara asked nervously.

"Jumped off the rocky part by the south end of the lake." Trenton sighed, dragging his hand down his face.

"Well good news is the ambulance is here." Alex said. "You'll be alright.....hopefully."

A/N: Alright so this is based off a true story. A friend of mine, her brothers friend refused to go to the hospital after he almost got his leg cut off, chainsaw accident, and he almost lost his leg. Luckily they got him to the hospital in time and he still has his legs. Anyways two chapters in one day, so most likely this chapter is the not as great chapter, but I'm hoping you guys enjoy it. As always let me know what you think of the chapter in the comments. -G
