Percy Jackson And Sadie Kane: A Forbidden Love

Chapter 4: To brooklyn

Nobody's pov( not the Polyphemus nobody)

"I just don't know what to do. We've took him to many psychiatrists, but there's no change. He keeps fainting and having fits." Sally cried in Paul's arms.

"This is not going to work." Frank said. No doctor could make Percy forget Annabeth.

"Poor Percy. This must be so hard on him." Travis said.

"Hard? Dude, that's a major understatement." Conner said. For once, they weren't smiling.

"We have to send him away for a few days. Make him forget the war." Chiron suggested. He had to come to Percy's house along with Drew and the Stolls. Drew had come to check on Percy for Aphrodite. Aphrodite tried to ask Piper about it, but Piper wouldn't talk to her. She blamed Aphrodite for this, as she had once promised to make Percy's love life interesting. Thalia had gone back to the hunters after promising to return after a few days.

"That's a good idea Chiron. We have to take him somewhere where there are less monsters." Jason said.

"Brooklyn." Drew said.

"What?" The demigods asked.

"He could go to Brooklyn. There are no monsters there." Drew said.

"No monsters?" Everyone looked shocked.

"Yep. Why else do you think I live there? There's some kind of force there that keeps the beasties away. Percy can come to my school. It will be a change for him. Though my schoolmates are a pain, but I think he'll manage that." Drew said.

Everyone considered this. Whoever Drew found a pain were actually good people. Also, Percy needed a change." Okay. I think Drew's right. We'll move there." Paul said. Sally looked at him gratefully. He was ready to move to Brooklyn for Percy.

"But someone has to be with him at school to take care of him." Sally said.

"I'm there." Drew said sweetly. Alarm bells rang in everyone's head. What if Drew tried to hit on Percy. She'd always thought he was 'hot'. He wouldn't be able to handle that.

"I can go." The seven, Calypso, and the Stolls said at once, then stared at each other.

"No. You all have faced quite a lot. I think even you deserve a rest." Chiron said. They all started to protest.

"I'm free. I can go." A voice made them all jump. Nico emerged from the shadows.

"Sheesh, Nico. Way to scare a guy." Leo said. Nico rolled his eyes at the son of Hephaestus.

" I said I could go with him. I don't have anything to do anyway." He said.

"Well, sure. But we need to ask Percy first." Sally said.

"I'll ask him." Nico said and ran upstairs to Percy's room. He knocked on his door.

"Come in." Called a hoarse voice. Nico opened the door and entered. Percy was in bed. He was fully dressed.

Percy looked a lot worse than he was when Nico left. He looked extremely weak. His dark circles were even bigger than Nico's. But still Nico found him the most handsome guy ever.

"Did you see her?" Percy's voice was full of hope. Nico's eyes started to water.

"Yeah." His voice cracked as he replied.

"What did she say?" Percy started to sit up. He paled and turned a slight shade of green doing so.

"Don't." Nico pushed him back.

"You didn't answer me Nico. Tell me now. What did she say?" Percy pleaded.

"She's in Elysium. She won't go for rebirth. She said she'll wait for you.

And ...and she...she hopes that..that she has to wait for a really long time." Nico tried to hide his tears as he saw the older demigod's face contort in pain.

"I hope she doesn't have to wait long. I hope she doesn't have to wait at all." Percy stared at the ceiling as he spoke. His head started to hurt again, and his vision started to blur, but he couldn't afford to lose control right now. Not now.

"Percy, your parents have decided to move." Nico decided to change the subject before Percy started getting fits again.

"What?" Percy asked. Nico told Percy about the discussion downstairs.

"Like that'll change anything. I'm not going to forgot anything. It's useless, you hear me? Useless." Percy said.

"I know. But you have to go. For Sally's sake. She can't stand this either. She's breaking down, Percy. For her." Nico knew that would do the trick. Percy nodded.

"Ok. Just for her sake. But you don't have to be my bodyguard everywhere I go. I can take care of myself." Percy said.

Sure you can, Nico thought sarcastically. "Not a bodyguard. More like a shadower, really." Only later did Nico realize how bad that pun was. But it worked. Percy cracked half a smile. It was very less compared to his crooked grin, but it was still a lot . He had never smiled since the war.

"Alright, . Go tell my family I'm ready." Percy said, clapping Nico on the back. Nico gave Percy a small smile before running downstairs.

"He has agreed to go." Nico informed . Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"And he agreed to take you with him?" Drew asked.

"Yes." Nico replied. Drew looked disappointed.

"Nico, I need to have a word with you." Jason pointed towards the door. Then he got up and left. Nico, followed him, very well aware of the questioning looks they were getting.

"What is it?" Nico asked once they were out of earshot.

"You know what."

"No. I don't." Nico said flatly.

"I thought being with him was painful for you. Then why? Why are you so eager to go?" Jason asked.

"If you think I'm going because this is a chance for me, then you're wrong. Percy deserves much more. He can't be stuck with a guy like me." Nico said.

"That's not what meant." Jason said.

"It's not painful anymore , Jason. At least, being with him isn't. Seeing him in pain, well, none of us can bear that. I've accepted him as a brother and a friend. And I know he can never be more than that." Nico said.

"If you say so." Jason shrugged.

"Well, we better start packing." Nico said. They both went back inside.

Brooklyn, beware.
