Percy Jackson's memories

10

"That's all you have to say? That was the worst thing we have seen so far!" My mom said, tears running down her face. I felt horrible, I should've known this would have a bad affect on her, I was so thoughtless.

  "I'm sorry, mom. I'm so, so sorry I didn't tell you the truth. I should've." I said, tears running down my face. I bit my finger roughly, using my other hand to rub my shoulder.

   "It's alright, I'm use to you lying to me." She said, and I felt my heart shatter into even more pieces than it already was. I hugged her tightly, and she hugged me back.

   "I had never meant for it to become a habit. You shouldn't be use to me lying, I promise I won't lie to you again." I said.

  "Your lying again, aren't you? It's a habit you haven't been able to break, even after 6 years of him dead." Mom said, but she wasn't angry, just upset.

   "I'm sorry." I said again, not able to reply. I let go of her and waited for the things that will get said and asked about.

   "How are you so okay?" Clarisse asked curiously, which started the onslaught of questions.

  "Who ever said I was? I have been through much more and much worse. I've always lived." I said.

  "How many bones did he break?" Will asked. I thought about it.

   "Four ribs, every bone in my right leg and foot, one of my hip bones shattered, he almost broke my spine, both my shoulders and arms and I think that's it. All that I remember on the top of my head at least. I was hospitalized for three months." I informed him.

  "Where are all your medical records? I haven't been able to get my hands on them, and when I did, they were stolen before I got a look at them." Will said curiously and I blushed.

  "You mean these?" I asked, holding them up. He looked at me in bewilderment, eyes wide and mouth dropped. I smiled nervously.

  "I heard from one of your siblings that you got a hold of them and I had to take them before you got to look at them. Gabe and my mom almost got arrested for the amount of times I was sent to the hospital." I laughed dryly.

  "I was confused on how you constantly broke your bones." Mom glared and I rubbed my neck.

  "Woah man, you never said it was this bad. You mentioned that something like this happen, but not so bad and not so long." Parker asked in bewilderment.

  "You told them and not us?!" Annabeth screamed. Shit, another fight, great.

  "When you get stuck with them in a juvie cell for 48 hours with them, you tend to tell them stuff." I shrugged.

  "Juvie?" My dad asked with a raised eyebrow.

   "We were caught vandalizing a public library. I think we were 7." I said thoughtfully.

  "No, you boys were caught vandalizing. Us girls were caught stealing from purses." Sophia said pointedly. I stuck my tongue out at the girls who glared at me.

  "We wouldn't have gotten caught if you never fell off the fucking ladder." Summer cursed at me and I raised my hands defensively.

  "Parker tripped over it, causing me to fall. I almost broke my neck!" I shouted playfully at her. Parker glared at me slightly.

  "Don't place the blame on me man. It's not my fault you didn't do your job!" Parker scowled at me and I raised my eyebrow.

  "What job?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

  "Peace make! Make peace! Save us from jail." Becky shouted, dropping the crazed ex act for a second.

  "I didn't become peacemaker until we were about 11, don't point fingers at me." I said, raising my hands up. "Those if you who do not know of our 10 year old mistake, you shall watch it later." I bowed mockingly.

   "We could've been so rich! And famous!" Sophia whined. "I wouldn't have to be a so called slut if we pulled it off." She whined.

   "Your parents put us up to it, dude, I was grounded for over a year! Your lucky I saved us." I laughed.

  "Aye, my parents were desperate." She said defensively.

  "You shouldn't be talking Perce, we were only saved because you said some kids in the older grades threatened us." Parker laughed.

  "They deserve 11 years in jail. I have no regrets." I smirked.

  "They get released soon, actually, because during court was lowered by 3 years." Becky informed me.

  "Wait what?! I'm a dead man, I shouldn't have visited them and laughed at them." I said, face palming to myself.

  "Wait, you framed kids for something you did?" Piper asked, eyes widened.

  "No shame." I said with a peace sign.

   "They told me to give you this, when I visited them. Confidential. I wasn't allowed to read it, but if I'm right, it's a death threat." Becky said and handed me a letter.

  "I am not reading this. I feel like it's one of those things where I demon comes out of the paper and steals my soul." I glared at the paper. Parker dipped it from my hands and opened it.

"Dear you dumb shits

Ya'll are dead, especially you Percy, we will put you through hell and back, repeatedly, you messed with the wrong people." Parker read and I sighed.

"It's been so long since I was called a dumb shit, I missed it." I laughed. "Willing to bet that I'm much taller than half of them." I laughed. Parker looked at my height, and laughed.

"How much? I'm willing to bet 2 thousand that your shorter than pinky." Parker laughed. Pinky was our nickname for the shortest one in the group all those years ago. Gods, last time I saw them I was 13. That was a long time ago.

"6 thousand I'm taller than him." I smirked.

"8 thousand, your shorter." Parker challenged.

"How bout whoever wins gets a one night stand with me." Sophia winked jokingly and we laughed.

"I hope I lose then." I laughed, causing the others to crack up.

"I'm offended, I could've had you if I wanted." Sophia smirked.

"Oh please, I had, and have a much better chance then you ever could." Becky grinned, winking at me, causing me to laugh. She's flirty.

"If you guys haven't noticed, we're all kind of weird because we've had our share of bad pasts, and this is why we're all talking about one night stands and money we don't even have, just know if we talk about murder, we don't kill." I smiled, causing everyone to burst out laughing, but my mom of course, she just looked at me sadly.

"I just wished you all had gotten your childhoods. Good childhoods, didn't have to grow up before being young." My mom said sadly.

"I think we turned out well, mostly. Becky has her stalking career, Sophia already is looking to tour for her modelling, Parker is gonna probably become a teacher or something because he wants to. Summer and I have nothing." I laughed.

"You have a god as your parent, you could ask for fortune. You earn it anyways." Summer glared and I shrugged.

"I pissed off almost everyone on this council, except Hestia, I think. I accused Hades of stealing the bolt, I beat Ares in a fight, I sent my dad Medusa's head, I dated Athena's daughter, Dionysus just hates everyone, if I did anything else to the other gods, I don't remember." I laughed.

"Okay, we have nothing." Summer concluded and laughed and I laughed with her.

"Onto the next memory. Let's go." I faked enthusiasm.
