Crossing Paths[Sequel to You're My Everything]

Chapter Four: Could Have Died

Percy

You know that feeling when this one person you really don't be with won't leave you along and is all up in your personal space? Well, that's how I'm feeling right now. My 'girlfriend' Kelli wouldn't leave me alone.

"Baby, what were you doing in Brooklyn, of all places, when you live in Manhatten?" I turned away and rolled my eyes. Annabeth was lucky that she was asleep.

"Turning in an illegal drug dealer, Kelli."

"Baby, stay out of these things if they aren't your problem!"

"But it was my problem."

"No, it wasn't." I sighed and looked her in the eye.

"Kelli?"

"Yes, baby?"

"I'm going to need you to leave. And not come back." she looked taken aback.

"You're breaking up with me?! Why?" Kelli whined.

"Yes." I was honestly trying not to laugh.

"Fine." she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room. I grabbed my phone and called my mom. I didn't get a chance to answer though, because a swarm of people came into the room. My mom, Paul, Estelle, Annie, Rosie, Athena, and Poseidon. The door slammed against the wall, waking up Annabeth with a start. She sat bolt upright, breathing hard. I hung up, surprised.

"Oh–people–hey," she said, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Annie and Rosalie looked happy, but everyone else looked pretty annoyed.

"Are–are you guys okay?" I asked timidly.

"ARE WE OKAY?!" Estelle stomped in between the two hospital beds. "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL US WHEN YOU GUYS GOT SHOT YOU COULD HAVE DIED!" she waved her arms around, shouting. For a sixteen year old, she was terrifying.

"Estelle, calm down." said Paul. She huffed and sat on the end of Annabeth's bed.

Okay that was short. But I have a longer update coming. I PROMISE!

Peace out!
