Percy Jackson And Sadie Kane: A Forbidden Love

Chapter 3: Everyone cares about Percy

3rd person pov

"O my god! What's wrong with him? Why isn't he waking up?" Sally Jackson panicked as she slapped his face in a desperate attempt to wake him up.

"Sally, calm down. We'll have to take him to the hospital." Paul directed the last part towards everyone else there.

With the help of Frank and Jason, Paul managed to haul Percy to his car (this kid sure was heavy). While Leo and Nico climbed in with the boys, the girls and Sally piled in Percy's new Ford, which made Sally cry even louder as she remembered that Percy wanted to surprise Annabeth with it after the war.

Everyone were waiting in the hospital. The had crowded the waiting area. What could they do? They didn't want to leave Percy. They were either looking at the doctor's room, or the at the clock or had their eyes closed, because they didn't notice another person approaching.

"Is he alright?" Thalia asked, making everyone in the room jump.

"Thalia!" Jason hugged his big sister.

'What are you doing here?" Piper asked.

"I came here as soon as I heard about Percy." Thalia replied.

That's when everyone realized two things. One:Thalia was not with the hunters.

Two:Her eyes were red, probably from crying.

"You didn't answer my question. Is he alright?" Thalia asked again.

"Yes, he's alright. The doctor is checking him up." Hazel replied.

Thalia walked to the waiting chairs and sat down on the floor next to them, and closed her eyes. Tears began to flow down her cheeks. Jason and Piper came and knelt down next to her.

"Thalia, are you okay?" Piper asked sympathetically.

"No, I'm not. First I lost Luke, and then Annabeth! And then this happens to Percy. What am I going to do." Thalia put her head in her hands and cried. Piper gave Jason a ' I've got this ' look. He went back to his seat while Piper said soothing words to Thalia, using charmspeak. Eventually Thalia calmed down and Piper was back in her seat too. Then Leo asked a question everyone were curious about.

"Where are the rest of the hunters? I thought you were always supposed to be with them." He said.

"Um...well..Artemis gave me some time off so that I could see Percy." Thalia replied. Many eyebrows raised because of her hesitation.

"Okay, fine. Actually, Artemis wanted someone to check on Percy, and because I was more than willing to go, she sent me." Thalia said.

"Why does Artemis want to check on Percy?" Nico asked.

"Because she cares about him, Death Breath." Thalia answered. Half the room went into coughing fits, especially the guys.

"Artemis "cough" cares about "cough" "cough" Percy?" Frank asked.

"Well, it's not that surprising." Thalia said, which made the coughing become louder.

A nurse had to come and ask them to keep quiet.

"Okay, maybe it is a little surprising. But she believes that Percy is the only decent man on this planet. Well, she's not wrong. No offense to the other men here, but it's true. He is quite pure." Thalia said. Everyone nodded.

Just then, the doctor came out. Everyone rushed over to him, showering him with questions.

"Yes, yes. He's okay." He replied, waving them back. Once they'd all calmed down, he continued to speak. "Actually there is nothing wrong with him. He is physically perfect in health. Of course, he's got a few wounds, but I don't think that's the problem. I think it's more of a mental trauma. You should have him see a psychiatrist. Right now, take him home and give him rest. I'll recommend a few good psychiatrists." He said.

Sally and Paul took down the names and addresses of a few good psychiatrists, then left. They made Sally travelled in the Prius, while Leo shifted into the Ford.

Everyone knew very well what Percy's mental trauma was. And they had to do something about it. They couldn't let him live like that forever. After what Thalia said, even Artemis cared about Percy.

Well, who wouldn't ?
