Percy Jackson's memories

14

"Why not just tell us now?" Leo asked curiously. I shrugged, looking down.

"It's quite a tale. I prefer not talking about it. I know for a fact it will show so next memory please." I said simply, drinking some water, and it helped a lot. Yay to water powers helping more than average people when drinking water while wasted.

"Skip to it. We don't have to watch these in order." Hera ordered, and I sighed. The image started to play and I sat back hesitantly.

I sat nervously, looking at Parker. He looked at me pointedly. "Come on Percy, your mom won't hate you." Parker said and I sighed.

"You mean she won't hate me more than she already does?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and he frowned.

"Why do you think she will react badly? Gabe I know will throw a hissy fit if he found out, but your mom is understanding." Parker said and I sighed, nodding.

"Yeah, I guess. Fine, I'll tell her. Thanks, Park, I owe you one." I smiled, nudging his shoulder playfully.

"You going to tell the girls?" Parker asked and I laughed.

"Oh god no, the girls would tease me till I'm in my grave and you know it." I laughed and he laughed to.

"Yeah, can't have that." Parker laughed and we stood up. It was getting late and his parents would be coming home soon, and he was supposed to clean house and he studying by the time they got home. We already cleaned the house but didn't study.

"See ya tomorrow Park." I grinned.

"See ya sassy pants." He laughed and I climbed out of his apartment and went down the fire escape. I will tell my mom first thing in the morning.

The time came quicker than I hoped, and I sat at the kitchen table dreadfully. My mom sat down, knowing I had something to say, mainly because I never sit at the table unless something is to be said.

"Percy, is everything alright?" My mom asked, and I bit my lip nervously.

"I got something to tell you." I said nervously and she smiled slightly in encouragement. She's my mom, I can trust her. "Mom, I'm bisexual." I said, full sending it. She looked at me and smiled, there was no judgement being hidden or anything, just pride.

"Thank you, for telling me. That was brave of you." She smiled at me, and hugged me. I smiled, now I was confused on why I was so worried, she was understanding, most of the time. It's not like I was doing something illegal.

"Thanks, for understanding." I said, hugging her back. She smiled at me again and made some blue pancakes, and we sat down and ate breakfast, talking about nothing. I felt happy, talking to her like we were family, and it was nice.

My mom walked out the front door an hour later, heading out for work and I sighed, I can't believe I told her, it went better than expected.

"When does Gabe find out?" Ares grunted, raising an eyebrow in my direction. I was in the middle of biting my nails and repeatedly shifting.

"Um, right away." I said, noticing that blood was starting to drip from my thumb.

I stood up, walking to my room, or at least that was the plan. As soon as I was about to walk into my room, I was shoved aggressively. "You disgusting fag!" Gabe growled dangerously, shoving me to my bed. Fear took over me, tears were already streaming down my face.
