Abused Percy Jackson

Chapter 34

Leo POV (I now it's been his a lot, but... \_(-_-)_/ ) :

I was extremely happy when lunch came around. I bolted to the cafeteria, ignoring all of the teachers scolding me. I found Piper, Hazel and Nico already sitting at a table together. I sat down, out of breath from running.

"You didn't have to run here," Hazel said. 

"Of course I did. I'm hungry and I wanted to eat." I pulled my lunch out of my backpack and took a big bite of my leftover pizza. 

"Over here!" Piper yelled. I looked behind me to see she was talking to Percy. He shook his head and pointed to the door. "Did I say you had a choice?" 

Piper stood up and dragged Percy over to our table, forcing him to sit down.

"I honestly can't tell if you hate me," he said, placing his backpack at his feet.

"If we hated you, you wouldn't be sitting here," Nico said. 

"OK, how do I get you to hate me?" he asked.

"Maybe start by shoving us out of our chairs," I said. 

"I didn't even push you that hard. You're being over dramatic." 

"Am I? Am I really?" I asked. He nodded. "I'm 90 percent sure I have a bruise on my butt now," I said, pointing my pizza slice at him for dramatic effect.

"What are you two talking about?" Piper asked. 

"I was minding my own business in-" I started.

"Sure," Percy chuckled to himself.

"I was! In first block, an I happened to sit next to Mr. Gloomy-Britches over here." I waved at Percy. My point was proven by his downcast look, though I'm pretty sure that is his resting face. "He then, out of nowhere, shoved me out of my seat! Twice!"

"Hey! I warned you!" Percy defended. I gave him a look. "I did the first time!"

The other three started laughing. I pouted and continued eating my pizza. 

"I win," Percy said. This caused the rest of the group to laugh more.

"What are we talking about?" Jason said behind me. 

"Nothing," I said quickly. 

"Sure," Will said, taking his seat next to his boyfriend. 

"Percy...shoved Leo out of his seat...twice!" Piper said, between fits of laughter.

"Right now?" Jason asked. 

"No, in first block. But still. He's just a big bully." I said. 

"The most timid person ever...is a bully?" Nico asked. I nodded, eating the last bit of my pizza. We fell into a comfortable silence.  

"Who wants to go see a movie after school?" Hazel asked. Everyone nodded in agreement, well... all but one person. "Percy?"

He looked up from his phone. "What?"

"Do... you... want... to... see... a... movie... after... school?" I said to him, slowly.

"I'm good," he said.

"You don't have to much of a choice," Piper said. "We are using the art of peer pressure."

"That doesn't really work on me." Percy looked back at his phone. I snatched his phone from his hand and opened his text.

"What's your mom's name?" I asked, ready to look for her name.

"I... don't live with my mom," He said, choosing his words carefully.

"Ok, how about your dad?" Percy shook his head, reaching for his phone. "Nuh-uh. Who is your dad?"

"Leo give him back his phone," Hazel said.

"No. I know he has nothing going on after school. If his dad says yes to him going to the movies, then he has to go."

"Just give me my phone back," Percy said.

"Gabe Uglyono? Wait, no, Ugliano." Percy froze at that name.

"Is he your father?" Jason asked. 

"No. Give me my phone back." Percy's tone changed drastically. He had a low voice, with a hard tone. Shocked, I passed the phone back to him. He stood up, grabbed his backpack and walked off.

"I seriously messed up," I said. "Do you think he will let me apologize?" 

"I... don't know," Will said.

"You really struck a nerve there." Nico pointing out the obvious.

"I just read a random male name." I placed my head into my hand and groaned. "Why didn't I just give him his phone back?"

"Because you're an idiot?" Piper suggested. 

"I'm going to go find him," I said standing up.

"Good luck. He probably won't want to talk to you, though," Jason said.

"I know. I still gotta try." I walked out into the hall. I checked the nearest bathroom after seeing he wasn't in sight. I was slightly surprised to see him gripping the sides of a sing with his eyes closed tight. I walked in and closed the door behind me.

"Percy?" I asked. I didn't get a response. Walking closer, it seemed he didn't realize I had walked into the bathroom. "Hey, Perce?"

I took a couple more steps, now standing right next to him. Again, I didn't get a response. I gently placed my hand on his shoulder.

"I didn't respond for a reason," Percy said, almost whispering. I could tell he was mad at me, and I was terrified I might have ruined the only chance at a friendship with him.

"I.. I'm sorry.  If there is anything you need from me.."

"Just leave me alone." Percy said.

"I..." I stood there for a couple more seconds, unable to move.

"Go, away." He was speaking louder now. I nodded and slowly walked out the door. Standing outside of the bathroom, I wished I was able to convey how sorry I was. So stupid! He told you to give him his phone back! I mentally yelled at myself. Why did I even think it was a good idea to take his phone? Stupid! 

I walked back to the cafeteria, sitting back down at the table.

"I'm guessing it didn't go to well?" Piper asked. I shook my head.

"I am a horrible person," I groaned, laying my head into my arms. 

Who is this person updating? What happened to the person who wouldn't update for 6 months at a time? I am proud of myself.

I also figured out the ship I wanted to do, thanks to @Beanqwer 

I again, apologize if I butcher your idea. <3
