The Quiet ~ Percico/PJO [OLD]

Part 1 Chapt 4

*Edited*

-Percy's POV-

Nico's getting out of the hospital in today, he just took a physical exam, he's all good, but he can't do any extravagant activities or he'd tear open his stitches.

So I carefully put him on my back and walked out of the hospital, Nico groaning slightly when I jumped down the steps to the hospital.

"Careful, I'm a semi damaged package." Nico whined playfully,

I laughed, "Ok Emo Angelo. I'll handle you with care." I say, putting him down carefully on the passenger seat. I felt a soft buzz on my back pocket, and I took out my phone, sitting down in the drivers seat.

Jason: Get over here

I looked over at Nico, then thought about what Jason wanted, I texted him

Me: Why?

No answer, so I asked "Hey Nico? Do you mind if we drop by my friends place?"

Nico shrugs and we drive off.

—

"Woah."He breathed as I carried him inside the large white house.

"Very 'Woah'." I agreed, closing the door behind me and walking to the group.

Skyler, sat next to Leo, looking down at the floor, her hands bundled into a big ball, everyone, Annie, Thal, Jase, Frank, Hazel, Pipes, and Reyna watched Skyler as if she was a TV playing their favorite show. 

I think I'm just going to nickname her Sky until I find something else.

I put Nico down next to me as I sat next to everyone else, Leo and Sky sat on a whole other couch. Which was weird. Sky's eyes darted up to Leo for a second, sending a quiet message like: 'Please don't do this.' 

Jason coughed into his fist to get everyones attention, and Sky's eyes went back down, her entire face slacked of emotion. 

He gave the grim news and... almost all of us went into a mental rampage that showed up on our faces as a constipated-like look. All except for, Jason, Thalia, and Leo. Who just stared at Sky.

Everyone quieted down and then followed their example, her face turned as red as her hair, her knuckles turning white from clenching her fists. Nico stared at her with wide brown eyes, almost in amazement. 

Leo whispered something in Sky's ear, her hair covered her face, but I noticed that a tear had slipped onto her lap, Leo sighed when Sky started to tap something over and over again.

"Well, Luke came out of her room before I found out..." He said, his eyes still trained on Sky, worry radiating from him. It must be hard on him, seeing the girl he has as a sister, so broken.

"Luke?" Thalia asked, choking on the word. Leo nodded

"Luke Castellan, one of the older kids in the orphanage." Leo said. 

Luke? He was a good friend of mine, until cigarettes, drugs, and sex hit him. Mainly mine, Thalia's and Annabeth's friend, everybody else only knows him as some kid that's a bully at school. 

Thalia, and Annabeth's eyes were wide, along with me, staring at Sky with pity and fear. Had he hurt her? Leo gently took Sky's arm, though she didn't seem to struggle or resist. He pulled up her sleeve, revealing too many cuts and bruises to count. My jaw practically fell to the floor.

"But I think that its not only him who's hurting her." Leo said, his voice strangled, like he's trying not to cry. 

Thalia stood up abruptly, a little flash of green followed her under Sky's red hair. Funny how me and Jason were talking about her not long before.

Thalia stubbornly walked to the door, Annabeth storming after her.

"W-where are you going?" Jason asked, slightly in surprise. Thalia didn't stop

"I'M GOING TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF LUKE, THATS WHAT."

-A/N-

I shortened it, so well, I could add more action and stuff.

Anywho, be expecting more 'edits' to the other chapters.
