Percabeth: Are You Gonna Leave or Stay?(Percy Jackson Fanfiction)✔

Chapter 3

"Mom?" I asked, coming into the kitchen.

"Yes?" She replied without looking up from her laptop. 

"Uh, can I tell you something?"

My mother closed her computer and looked at me, "What is it, Annabeth?"

"I, uh, I'm. Um, I'm uh, pregnant," I said quietly.

"Your what?" She asked.  I just nodded, knowing she heard me the first time. "Who else knows?" She continued. 

"The girls. That's it. No one else," I said. My mom grabbed her phone and I snatched it from her hands. "You have to promise me you won't tell dad. I'll tell him. Just please don't," I begged.

"You have to tell him before the baby comes, promise?"

"Oh my gods, mom. Thank you," I said before I went to my room. Now that she knows, if I have any questions, I can just ask her.

When I reached my bed, I found I had a text from Thalia. 

Thalia: Hey. You, me, vacation. What you think?

Me: Sure. When?

Thalia: Last week of school.

Me: How long?

Thalia: Gods you have lots of questions. And a week? Week and a half?

Me: Sure. Wait. Where?

Thalia: South Carolina. Any more questions?

Me: No. Goodnight. 

Thalia: But it's 4 in the afternoon!

Me: I know.

I stopped the conversation at that. It's been a long day and I really didn't want to talk to anyone. Not Thalia, my mom, Percy, Piper, or anyone.I just wanted some quiet time to myself. I can't believe all that happened in the last 24 hours. I found out I was pregnant, I told five people, I lied to Percy at least five times, and cried and at least twenty times. 

Just before I was about to drift off to sleep, I remember I had to retake my stupid quiz. Like, how hard is it to take a test on Shakespeare and a few of his plays?

I just blew it off because I honestly don't care if I get a F. Even though a lot of people will most likely get mad, I honestly don't care right now. I have bigger things to worry about other than grades. I can't believe I thought that, though. At least I know it's true. My baby is far more important than grades at the moment. Along with actually telling Percy.

Wow, I just realized how fucked I am. I quickly texted Thalia saying: Vacation next week?

Thalia: Oh, becoming a rebel, I see.

Me: No. Kinda. Next week or not?

Thalia: And school?

Me: Say we're sick. Flu or something. That easy. 

Thalia: I'm in.

Me: Good. 

Skipping the last month of school will be just what I need. An escape from the world and into paradise. A month to forget about what's really happening and just relax in the summer sun. Falling asleep under the stars and let my worries wash away. The more I think about it, the more I want to go at the moment. 

But as I thought more and more, which happens a lot, I realized no one will really care. I can tell my mom, the girl's, and Percy. No one else that I care about really. No one that would kill me or anything for skipping a month of school. Well, maybe my dad, but he's not in New York so who cares! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WEEK LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After telling everyone, getting fake ID's, packing, and planning, Thalia and I were ready to leave. Got the fake ID's so we could say were 18, out of school and can drive. The perfect cover up if we get questioned.

 "See ya in a month," I said hugging my mother.

"Be careful," She warned.

"I'm not gonna drink and I'm not gonna smoke. What else if there to be careful of?" I asked in reply jokingly.

"You know what I mean, Annabeth," She said. 

"I know, I know. I'm not stupid," I said before moving on to the next people, which were Hazel, Reyna, and Piper. I just hugged them.

"If you do anything to hurt that baby, I will kill you," Piper whispered in my ear. I pulled away.

"Oh my gods, Piper. The worst I'll do is put a cig in my mouth, and NOT lighting it. Duh," I said, rolling my eyes.

Reyna chirped up and said, "Piper's right. One wrong move, and even I might kill you."

"Wow, guys. I really feel the love right now," I said jokingly. I laughed before moving on to Percy. He was last. My mom and the girl's walked off and Thalia was in the car. 

"I would never picture my Wise Girl ditching the last month and half of school," Percy said.

"Just an early vacation, Seaweed Brain."

"Love you," He said. I went on my tippy toes and lightly kissed him.

"Love you too," I responded. I went to the car and put my two suitcases in. I hopped in the passenger seat and Thalia started up the car. We left my driveway and headed to South Carolina. In other words, this was gonne be the longest 15 hours of my life.
