Chasing After The Wrong Person ∞ Percico

Chapter 18

Percy's POV

Yay! It's my birthday! Cue the confetti, music, and random sea animals! No? Okay, forget it. Sadly, I'm not having a party this year so I figured I would just blast music and act like a total weirdo in my room for the rest of the day. I could even invite Nico and Jason over!

Mum did not even make a special breakfast for me like the previous years so I can clearly tell that she was being all serious about the 'no birthday party' thing. Sad.

"Hey Sweetie! Happy 17th birthday!" Mum greeted me in the morning and went to the living room to watch some tv. Wow...I have such an awesome mother.

After finishing my breakfast, I just chilled in my room and as planned, blasted some music. I took the time to call Nico as well. There were many voices in the background and my eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.

Is Nico at a party? In the morning? Wait, that's just weird. How can I not be invited? Like, everyone wants me at every party. Puh-lease.

"Neeks where are you? It's kinda noisy in the background." I asked, trying for it not to sound wrong.

"Oh its just the television, Percy. Also, go to (address for the party) and be there by 5.00p.m. sharp." Nico replied as I took down the address. Was it a date? I don't know.

I agreed and hung up the phone before rolling off my bed awkwardly and walked over to my closet. I can be a fashion terrorist with the amount of clothes I have. It is just so embarrassing.

In the end, I decided with a checkered shirt and skinny jeans to pair up with my dark blue converse high tops.

It was still so early in the morning and since it was my birthday, I pampered myself with some microwaved popcorn in bed and a movie on.

After shedding some manly tears over some parts of the many movies I have watched, It was 4 in the afternoon and I hopped into the shower and put on my outfit that I picked out.

I grabbed my phone, wallet, and then took a taxi to the stated place by Nico. I was so excited. It is pretty saddening that I could not have my party. I'm so childish.

I payed the driver the taxi fee and got out of the taxi to find myself at a grand house. Why Nico asked to meet here, I'm not really sure. I rang him and he told me to go inside.

Still totally oblivious to everything, I heeded his words and twisted the door knob to enter the house. It was pitch dark but the lights immediately went on and everyone jumped out from their hiding spots. All of my friends were there.

"Happy Birthday, Percy!" Nico exclaimed and gave me a tight hug which I returned without hesitation.

"Happy B-Day bro." Jason clapped me on the back and flashed me a smile before the rest started coming up to me to wish me a happy birthday.

Nico brought the cake that had 17 candles on it. I blew out the flame and everyone cheered. Music started to blast from the humongous speakers and the living room soon turned into a dance floor.

"So this was what you were planning with Jason?" I asked Nico as we leaned against the kitchen counter, watching Leo bust out his moves. Nico simply nodded.

I was seriously touched. "OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU!" I hugged him and burried my face into his hair.

Nico hugged me back. "No problem, Perce. It's nothing, really. I just wanted to do something special for you." He blushed.

I was feeling over the top. He did all these for me. A slow song chose to come on at this time and I took this as my cue to bring Nico to the 'dance floor'. I wrapped my arms around his waist while his arms circled around my neck. We stayed there for a while, just enjoying each other's presence.

When a pop song came on however, I didn't give two shits and just danced without a care. Nico stood at one side, covering his face in embarrassment.

Well, summing things up today, my birthday really wasn't what I was expecting, and I meant that in a good way.

Sooooo was this chapter enough for your feelz? I hope it was!!! I had so much fun writing it! :)

P.S. YAY! WE REACHED A 100 VOTES! THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME, KNOWING THAT YA'LL ENJOY MY STORY. ❤
