Silently Screaming

Chapter 12- Car Crash

(A/N: ...So. I'm back. Hi?
Right, hear me out. I have been extremely busy and will continue on being extremely busy for the next few months but I will promise that I will try my best to upload.
I've also realized how crappy my writing is in this story but I'm not giving up on It because I don't want to leave you all hanging.
Enjoy?)

Annabeth POV:

It had been three days since I had come back home. Helen and dad still beat me like usual, but other than that, it was normal.
"We have to do something," Percy declared as we walked in the park.
"We are doing something." Piper pointed out.
"We are?" Leo asked, confused.
"Yes, you doofus." Calypso smacked his head.
"Then what are we doing?" Jason asked, furrowing his eyebrows in concentration.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe... Breathing? Did that ever occur to your pea sized brains?" I rolled my eyes.
The boys stared at me while the girls rolled their eyes.
"We are also having a stroll in the park." Juniper offered.

"That's not what I meant!" Percy exclaimed, throwing his hands up. "We have to do something that's planned."
I fake gasped. "Seaweed brain planning? The world is ending!"
He rolled his eyes. "Come on wise girl. Please?" He pouted and did his baby seal eyes.
I tried not to look at him but eventually gave in. "Fine." I grumbled. Geez, I really needed to not give in so easily.
"Yes!" Percy punched the air.
The girls looked at me and I shrugged. "It'll be fun."

"Okay." Frank. "Where are we going?"
Percy froze and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know. I didn't think I'd get this far."
We laughed and Grover piped up. "We should go to the beach!"
"Good idea. We'll take our swimsuits to swim in the sea."
I froze. The beach? But all my scars will show in the water.
Bianca and Thalia must have sensed my discomfort. "It's okay." Thalia said. "You don't have to."
"Yeah. You can just chill on the beach." Bianca put her hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks guys." I mumbled.
"Why?" Leo asked. "Don't you know how to swim? It's okay if you don't. You can just wade."
"It's not that..." I said.
"Ohh." Calypso realized. "It's okay. We won't mind."
"Yeah. You can do whatever you want on the beach." Hazel told me.
"It's your choice." Piper said.

Rachel, Juniper and Reyna nodded and smiled at me comfortingly. "We won't be able to make it though," Reyna said, "I have a meeting with Rachel with our parents."
"And Grover and I already have something planned," Juniper added apologetically.
"It's okay, maybe another time," Piper smiled and I nodded.

I smiled at them, but the boys were still clueless. "I don't get it." Nico and Jason said in unison.
We rolled our eyes. "Whatever. So, what time do we go?" Thalia asked, changing the subject.
"We should leave the house at nine, then we'll come back at five. Sound good?" Percy asked and we nodded.
"Alright. We'll meet at the park that's twenty minutes from here. Then we'll all go together." I said.

"Me, Thalia and Annabeth can go together to get to the park. We have to get stuff anyway. Okay?" Bianca told the other and they agreed.
"Alright then!" Leo said. "That's settled, we'll meet at the park, then go to the beach from there."
I nodded. "My brothers are gonna be at their friends house so it'll be fine."
"Great!" Jason cheered. "Tomorrow it is then!"
"Bianca, you take the car." Nico said and Bianca grinned.

~-{oOo-.-oOo}-~

I groaned and got up off the floor. Helen and dad had just finished my morning beating. I had some bruises over my body and my lip was bleeding and there was a cut on my bicep. It wasn't too bad, which was good. I was wearing a top and jeans, but my beach clothes were in the bag I was holding.
I shook my head. I'll treat myself when we get there. I'm already late.
