Close Your Eyes (Percico)

La Vie Boheme

Of course, the next day Luana put a kid in the hospital with multiple broken bones.

Yeah, she was in a bit more trouble than Finn was.

And then she thought it'd be okay to sneak out on Friday night when both of us we're at work. I had a night class, Nico had a meeting.

When I got back, Finn said she should be in her room.

But was she?

No.

I texted my parents, told them she was really giving me hell today and to try calling her. They did. She didn't answer.

So I drove around and I called the police and hell, I called camp because we're not that far away from camp. Maybe she'd try to get there because you can't see camp until you get to the farm.

And what would you know? Chiron called, saying she was at camp and waiting for 'Orientation' in the Big House.

Orientation meant me bringing her home.

About five minutes away from camp, Nico called me. I told the others that she was found. In a shit load of trouble.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked, honestly just really pissed off. Grateful that she's okay, but livid.

"I just got home." He told me, which sounded about right. "I thought class went until 7:30 tonight. Where are you?"

"Oh, it did." I told him what was going on, not fucking having it. "Luana got sent home today, I had to pick her up before my afternoon class because she put some chick in the hospital over something at lunch and she was missing when I got home. Chiron just called saying she made her way to camp, so I'm on my way to pick her up right now."

"She... What?" Luana was normally a good kid, so Nico was justified in his response to this.

"I don't even know what to do with her, Nico," I told my boyfriend as I got onto the road camp is on. "She used to get in trouble a bit when she was younger. Kids made fun of her short hair or like they'd pick on her when she didn't have a mom to do the mom daughter things with and she would like slap then or whatever, but the last time she did that was over two years ago. I had her in a different School and it stopped. Like..."

I sighed, pulling up to camp.

"I'll tell you more when I get home." I told him, turning off the ignition, but keeping the speaker on to talk to him. "I'm at camp."

"Alright, just keep me updated." Nico responded. "I'll keep an eye on the boys. I'll make dinner tonight, too. It'll be ready when you guys get back then."

"Thank you," I said, grateful for the fact that he can cook. Normally I make dinner because I'm home earlier, but he was probably hungry already. "I love you."

"I love you, too," he told me. "Just keep your head in there, alright?"

"I'll try," I promised, hanging up the phone.

I headed to the Big House, where Mr. D was surprised to see me. His time here should be up any year now. He hates it here.

"Percy, hi." Mr. D said, sitting up. "It's been... I don't even know how long it's been since you've been here. How are you doing?"

"Right now?" I responded, trying to just not create like a hurricane. "Not happy. Chiron called saying that Luana is here?"

"Luana?" He seemed confused that I'd have anything to do with her. "Uh, yeah, she claimed to have been a legacy. Why? She's waiting for orientation right now."
