9. Life After Tartarus pt 1

Annabeth POV

"Percy come on we're gonna miss the train!"

"Ughhh I don't want to go back because then I have to go to schoooooooool..."

"Yes but I'll be there so pick up the pace and get your seaweed filled brain over here."

The train came and we grabbed our bags and hopped on. We then found our seats and slumped into them. After everything this summer, between killing Gaia, a-and falling into that place, I couldn't be more thankful to Sally for letting me stay with them, or to Paul for getting me into Goode, or to Percy for always being there for me. Don't get me wrong, he'd be dead if I wasn't there to save his dumb butt, but I am thankful to have him in my life.

"I'm glad you're coming to school with me this year." He hugged me over the shoulder and I sunk into his chest. I look up at him, and kiss his jaw.

"Me too." He hugged me tighter and I felt myself drift off...

...

"Wise Girl, we're at grand central, its our stop."

"Huh? Wh- oh. Okay." I can't believe he let me sleep and took care of us, he really has grown so much from being that 12 year old boy who drooled in his sleep.

He took my hand and we got off. When we got up the steps we saw Sally and Paul waiting for us holding Estelle, Percy's new baby sister. They hugged us, and Sally and Percy had a moment since they hadn't seen each other since he went missing. There wear tears, and laughs, but we headed off.

We got to his apartment and Percy took our bags.

"Uh Percy?"

"Yeah Mom?"

"Remember what we talked about?"

"Y-yeah..." He then reluctantly took my stuff and put it in the bedroom across from his. I mean I get it, if my son brought his girlfriend home I wouldn't want them sleeping in the same bed.

Then the anxiety hit. I haven't slept alone since the Argo II, there's no way I'm going to be able to do this. I shoot Percy a look, and he understands, and gives me a look that says 'Don't worry.' I guess I'll just have to trust him on this.

"So are you guys excited for school tomorrow?"

"No." I elbow him.

"Yes we are."

"So I tried to get you guys in as many of the same classes as possible. The only classes you guys aren't in together are when you, Annabeth have architecture while Percy has marine biology, and math, you guys are in two different levels so, I couldn't in good conscience as a teacher put you guys in the same level. My boss also wouldn't let me do it, sorry you guys."

"Oh Paul, that's perfectly fine, we don't have to be together 24/7 we can do 22/7." I chuckled but Percy was pale and his eyes glazed over. Crap. "Uh could you excuse me for a second."

"Of course."

I run to Percy who thankfully is on the couch already, he started shivering, and rambling. I just hug him.

"Percy, you're okay, we're okay, we're not there anymore. We made it out."He started to cry, and I just held him for the next 15 minutes and we waited for the flashback to stop.

"I-is he okay?"

"Yeah, we've just been having really bad flashbacks and nightmares ever since we came back."
