Have You Ever Felt Worthless?

Chapter Seven

Jason's POV

     I didn't know what happened. Percy's face just suddenly scrunched up, then he bit my arm. It hurt, a lot. 

     Nico looked shocked, and Leo looked like he was holding in laughter. I glared at him and all laughter disappeared from his face. I tried to move my arm, but ended up hissing in pain. "Man, that hurts like hell." I muttered.

      "We'll treat you once we get to the hospital." Nico said, glancing at the road in front of us. "How long until we're there?"

      "Seven minutes." Annabeth said through gritted teeth.

      "Can you get us there any quicker? Because this hurts." After a glare from Nico, I added "And Percy needs treatment."

       "I'm already almost over the speed limit. Let me drive." She snapped. 

      "Sorry." I muttered.

      She took a deep breath. "Yeah. Just... Let me drive."

       We drove in silence for the rest of the way, me cradling my arm, Percy squirming slightly in his seat, and Nico glaring at me. I, obviously, glared back. Percy was mine, and I wasn't going to let death boy take him from me. 

      Nico's POV

      Jason and I glared at each other while Leo kind of looked between us like, 'what the hell is happening.'

      Annabeth turned a tight corner and I saw the hospital. I unbuckled and got ready to jump out. As soon as she parked we all jumped out and ran for the doors. I saw Jason was carrying Percy and I scowled. None the less, we rushed inside panting.

      Annabeth stormed up to the desk and in my head I was kind of scared, because the ruder you are the meaner the receptionist person. "We need an emergency room. One of our friends passed out after-"

      The receptionist, a pretty lady with long brown hair and big brown eyes, sighed when she saw Percy. "Right. Percy." She said, then pressed a button on one of the old phones. "Apollo, can you bring Percy to his room please?"

      It took a second for 'Apollo' to respond. "Percy? Again? What did he do this time?"

      "He's unconscious dear." The receptionist replied.

      "How'd he get here then?" Apollo asked after a moment of silence.

      "There are some teens with him." The receptionist replied, smiling at us apologetically.

      "Okay, I'll be right out. Do any of the teens seem injured?"

      Jason adjusted his arm and held it up. The receptionist flinched. "Yes, I do believe Percy is biting again. One young man is bleeding pretty badly, he'll probably need stitches."

      Apollo sighed through the phone. "Okay. I'll be right down."

      "Thanks hon." The receptionist said, removing her hand from the button. "Alright, you four can bring Percy right up to that door over there." She pointed to a door at the end of the hallway. "Apollo will come down with a stretcher, and another doctor will take... Erm, this young man. What's your name sir?"

      Jason, suddenly realizing it was him she was addressing, cleared his throat. "Jason Grace." I rolled my eyes at him.

      She nodded and typed some stuff on her laptop. "Alright. Go on, Percy probably just forgot to eat again. You're set to go down the hall." She told us. We all nodded and chorused our thank you's before heading down the hallway.
