Artemis POV
"Ugh" I said while I tried to wake up. My head felt like it was going to explode and my stomach felt like it was going to expulse. I had almost no memories of last night, just remember playing beer pong. After that, my memory is blank.
I tried to stand up, but every time I made pressure on my ankle it hurt a lot. Finally, about ten minutes later, I managed to compose myself and go downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Well the little princess finally woke up. How are you feeling?" Apollo asked me as I walked down the stairs. I stopped, glared at and ignored him. I kept walking, got orange juice and sat down opposite of him.
"What happened yesterday?" I asked him while he just grinned
"There was a party"
"No shit Sherlock. But what happened in the party?" He dared to laugh. And not the normal light laugh, no, he was freaking rolling on the ground and screaming.
"Ah, no screaming, no screaming" I told him as my head was literally killing me.
"Ha ha sorry. Well, you played beer pong and lost. Twice"
"I swear if you don't tell me the part I'm waiting for I'm going to kill you as soon as this hangover passed"
"Ok ok, so after that beer pong I saw that you went to make yourself a drink. After that you cheered the next beer pong game and then sat down right beside the beer pong table. I think I saw you vaping a little, but I'm not sure.
So you were sitting there next to Hermes and I left. From what I heard, you guys were talking about your breakup and then about Biology, but soon enough you were making out-" I spit my orange juice
"I What?!"
"You haven't heard the best part yet so calm down. So you guys were making out and almost going at it. I don't know the details because it was really gross for me, but you can ask Aphrodite. After you made out, he told you something in you ear and you went upstairs." I paled at the thought of...
"You guys didn't do anything, I know. Before Hermes could even go up the stairs, Percy pulled him down and they fought. After ten minutes I think, you came down and told Percy off and went to Hermes side. There's a video if you want to see."
"There's a video?"
"Yeah, it's on everyone's Snapchat, you want to see?" I nodded my head with anticipation. Apollo brought out his iPhone and checked his photo library. He clicked on a three minute video, but before he played it, he shut off his phone. "I just remembered! I-somebody who is certainly not me posted it on YouTube. We can watch it on the TV. Come on!"
He grabbed my arm and dragged me to the living room.
"Why would you post it on YouTube?" I asked while he prepared everything
"So I can show it to your children in two years"
"I'm not going to be a teen mom"
"That's what I thought, but after yesterday I'm not so sure anymore. Now look at the video" he clicked the 'play' button and grinned.
The video began with Percy pulling down Hermes from the stairs. Hermes got up and pushed Percy in a threateningly manner.
"What the hell dude? Why'd you pull me?!"
"Artemis is drunk. Don't do anything." Percy told him
"So am I. And why do you care? You broke her heart today and now won't let her move on? What's wrong with you?! Are you so selfish that you just want her to be with you after you hurt her?" Hermes said, his voice getting louder with each word he said
"Just because I broke up with her doesn't mean I still don't care for her"
"Well I'm sorry for your feelings but I cannot wait for you to hurt her again you selfish bigheaded asshole" Hermes poked Percy's chest with each word. At the last one, Percy's mad face morphed into one of rage and punched Hermes in the eye.
Hermes fell into the floor, a circle of people forming behind him and Percy. He quickly got up and punched Percy in the left eye and then threw a punch at his ribcage. The fight went on for a little over a minute, both guys being equal in their fight. Percy was strong, but Hermes was faster; Percy was experienced, but Hermes was cunning.
Then, someone came walking down the stairs...well more like tumbling down. Apollo shook my arm in excitement.
"Watch this, it's the best part" he said grinning
Well the figure who came down the stairs was me, and just a tad drunk. I ran towards the fight and got in between both of them, my arms extended so they wouldn't go after each other.
"Stop what you're doing right now!" I yelled at Percy
"He's also at fault" he defended himself
"Why are you fighting?"
"Cause he wants to control you and I said you didn't belong to him" Hermes said from my right side.
"Is that true?"
"N-not really, I just-"
"You just what?" I asked him harshly
"I want to make sure you're good"
"You know what Percy? At the beginning you were a really nice guy. I loved hanging out with you, I loved us. But then all of the sudden you just took everything away from me, not even thinking of the consequences it was going to have. And then you have the nerve to ask me to ask you about who you like now?! What the fuck?! Do you have any human decency?! And now when there's actually someone who is interested in me, unlike you may I add, you have to screw it up?! Get out of my house please. If I see you trying to do anything like what you did today, you can say goodbye to your fucking dick" I yelled at Percy. Then, I grabbed Hermes and led us away from the scene, the flock of people parting like the Red Sea.
"Arty" Percy muttered, but it seemed like I didn't hear him as I just kept walking away.
The video ended and a lot of Peppa Pig appeared on the watch next page of my brother.
"Peppa, what are you doin on my YouTube?" Apollo said. "Well, watcha think?"
"That doesn't answer why my ankle hurts"
"What? Let me take a look" Apollo said in his doctor mode. That was the only mode in which he is serious, so I knew not to joke when he was like that. "It's a little swollen, you must've twisted it somehow. Do you remember when that could've been?" I stood thinking about when that could've happened, but nothing came to mind.
"I gotta go talk to him" my brother nodded and left to his room.
I ran to mine with great pain, put on some casual clothes and headed out to his house. I ran faster than I had ever before, cut through some woods, and arrived in front of the house.
I rang the doorbell three times, waiting for someone to answer the door. Couple of minutes passed and nobody had opened the door. I was about to leave when suddenly somebody opened the door.
"Artemis?"
