xPERCY POVx
 
        Screams. That was all Percy could here echoing through his brain.
       
        Screams of pain and shock caused by the explosions minutes before.
      
        The screams of a mother desperately searching for her child. The wails of grief  from those who's loved ones weren't responding.

        The screams as the unstable building started collapsing. As debris and smoke filled the air.

        Percy could hardly understand how this was the same building as before.

        The same building that was calm and boring minutes ago was now a war like place filled with pain and fear.

        It felt like an eternity as Percy waited for help to come. It felt like an eternity that he listened to those screams. When people in firefighter uniforms stormed through the door.

But Percy didn't get to see what they were doing as his vision went dark.

        Now two weeks, Percy was back in the waiting room of his therapist office.
        He was just started feeling normal again, or as normal as he's not been sense the accident. He went to work. He smiled and laughed and that was progress, even if they were a bit forced.
        Annabeth claims it's almost like a switch went off in his brain or something. Percy didn't know anything, except one moment he was laying in bed wallowing in self pity. The next he felt as if he could take on the world.
        Percy had been way too early to therapy as he always is. Also like normal he was fantasizing talking to the handsome blonde in the office, who he had learned is named Jason. When all too soon he was pulled out of his thoughts.
        "Hey, Percy right?" A deep gravely voice said pulling Percy out of his fantasy's. Only to start living one, as he looked up and saw the vary one he was fantasizing about taking to him.
        "Yeah that's me, Jason?" He said trying to act like he wasn't dreaming of this man seconds before. But in all honesty who could blame him.
        Jason was without a doubt handsome. With his blonde nice kept hair, his sky blue eyes, tan skin and strong jaw he looked like some type of god.
        "Yeah, I haven't seen you here in a while." Jason said, causing Percy to blush. "I really liked the tattoo. I was thinking of getting another one sometime."
         "Well I would always do it, you'd just have to call to get an appointment." Percy answered a little awkwardly but glad to talk to the man.
        The two continued talking for a while and eventually conversation came naturally. Though, all good things come to an end, and Jason was called back.
        "See ya Percy" Jason told Percy as he left. But not before slipping a paper with his number into Percy's hand.

xJASON POVx

        Jason had finally done it. He finally gave the hot guy from his therapist office his number. But Jason couldn't help but worry that this wouldn't turn out good. What if he ended up like Ethan.
        Eventually Jason managed to convince himself it'll be fine. Like his therapist said he deserves another shot at love. Percy doesn't even have to know about the Ethan incident and how Jason screwed up.
                      . . . . . . . . .  . . .

        It was the next day when Jason finally got a call. It was almost noon and Jason still hadn't gotten ready for the day. Instead spending his time on the couch, his nose in a book.
        He was almost annoyed by the call until he heard the familiar voice on the line as he picked up.
      "Hello," Percy said through the phone. "Is this Jason? This is Percy."
       "Yeah it is" Jason responded trying not to sound to excited by the call.
        "Okay. Well I was wondering is you would like go grab some lunch with me at Aunt Ems dinner.
        "Of course will an hour work."
        "Yeah"
        With that the call was over and Jason was rushing around his apartment trying to get ready
        Soon Jason was out the door trying to remind himself that this wasn't like last time. But Jason still wasn't completly sure he believed it. He just had to end up messing it up. After all he messed everything up.
        And with that he pushed open the door to the dinner.

Hey sorry for taking so long to publish. I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for this book so it's a little short.
I'm also think about making it from a first person perspective, but I don't know. Let me know what you think!!
