Children of the Heroes- Their Future

Chapter 7: Leo

hey guys!

career day at school tomorrow and if you've never expirenced it before it is probably the biggest waste of my time.

i don't want to think about my future, okay?

(but my dream job is to publish books when i'm younger and then magically transform into a band director #goals)

qootc (question of the chapter) : DESCRIBE YOUR FIRST KISS I WILL AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER OMG IT'S EMBARRASING (u gotta do it too, u sly little bastard ;) )

Leo

All the guys seemed pretty tense once they all arrived at the gazebo (our desired spot for the rehearsal dinner). Percy kept looking over his shoulder and his eye caught the slightest movement in the area. Jason and Piper kept talking to each other as if they were afraid to bring up a certain subject.

People from CHB showed up from so long ago that I forgot most of their names. I recognized a peculiar boy when he walked up the steps, looking as if he had killed a guy but was trying to hide it. The description I just provided matched this guy's personailty too well.

I tapped Hazel. "Your brother is here."

Hazel's head turned away as she welcomed another person from camp and she sprinted over to Nico, almost crushing his bony frame in her embrace.

"Nico! I didn't think you were going to be able to make it!"

"Yeah. I didn't know if I was going to be able to," he waved at me and looked around the room bashfully, then leaned forward to Hazel and I barley heard him whisper, "You don't mind if I brought a date, do you?"

Hazel didn't skip a beat, but I had to bite my tongue to keep my surprise down. Though it was years ago, the update on Nico's sexuality never fails to surprise me. I pulled pipe cleaners from my pocket and started fiddiling with them, not looking down.

"Oh! Of course not! Who is it?"

"Um... Will Solace?" Nico tried to hide his blush.

"Well bring him in. I expect dinner will be served momentarily."

Nico had replaced his avaitor jacket and black jeans with black dress pants, a black dress shirt and a black tie. His hair lied somewhat flat. His skull ring remained.

Reyna walked up the steps. As it turns out, she had fallen in love with a guy at CHB from the Apollo cabin and clung to his arm. Hazel welcomed her and as soon as she walked away Nico came back up the step with Will. I nodded to them and went to the center of the gazebo where food was being laid on the gold tablecloth.There was a few torches burning, causing an amber ambiance. The gazebo was huge, fitting most if not all of CHB and other friends under it. Apparently, marriges are a big deal to demigods (as most of them don't make it past teen years) because Chiron himself showed up in wheelchair from.

We were all seated (the seven minus Frank sat closest to Hazel and I, Will and Nico where I suspect Frank would have been. Or, maybe, Frank might have been where I was sitting. Next to Hazel, getting married) and the food was brought out by the service we chose. By service, we mean harpies. Everybody got what they ordered, everybody seemed to have a good time though Percy was still tense. He and Annabeth were making a conscious effort to not argue about a specific subject, but they still managed to occasionally snap at each other. This surprised me because they almost never fought.

Before either of them touched their food, they got up and walked off the gazebo. No one else paid that close of attention. They walked in the direction of the bathrooms (since we were in a park next to a beach).

"Hey, Haz, I'm gonna go wash up..."

Hazel nodded and barley looked up from her conversation with Piper about the floral arrangements for the wedding.

Percy and Annabeth walked to the side of the brick building and I stood there, accidentally listening.

"... need to stop this nonsense." Annabeth snapped.

"Stop it right now. I'm not going to do this here. Not here, not now. This is a rehearsal dinner, Annabeth! I'm sure we're making everyone uncomfortable with our bickering."

Annabeth scoffed. "You're too stiff for anyone to be remotely comfortable around. You need to relax."

"I can't, Annabeth! You know how I am. I am not okay with Selena being home without us there. Even if it is my mom watching her, she's getting old. Slow. What if something happens?"

"Percesus Jackson!" Annabeth shrieked. I heard her hit in in the chest with her clutch. "How dare you think that way!"

"Listen, honey. I want a family. I know you do too. But if we are going to bring people into this world, we need to protect them. She didn't ask to be born. We brought her here to give her a great and safe life. And dammit, I will with my life. I don't know if we should have more kids after Selena because-"

"I'm pregnant," Annabeth interrupted.

I almost choked. Percy did. "What?"

"I found out this morning."

Oh shit. I thought.

hey guyssssss.

i would go on about how sorry i am for not updating but i know you probably don't want to hear it.

BUT IM BACK SO LETS FUCKIN PARTY WITH THIS LAME-ASS CHAPTER!!

okay so like i promised: the description of my first kiss AS LONG AS YOU DO YOURS TOO U LITTLE FUCKER

so i was in fourth grade and i was "dating" a kid named who i wont name lol. we were watching the Lion King in class as it was the last few days of school and a bunch of kids dated us to and we did :)

THIS STORY IS REALLY FUNNY >>>>

i don't consider it my "first" kiss just because i was pressured into it. to me a kiss is something you kind of consent to so my first kiss in a way was also in sixth grade i dated a kid named nick (and for those of you long-time followers... my username used to be allienick... That's why) and once again in band class we were watching the lion king and we had already gotten in trouble for holding hands so we went behind the church bells and he kissed me AND WE GOT IN TROUBLE AGAIN LMAO. i dated that kid for SIX months and i didn't even like him i was just too nice to say no.

i expected it to blow over in a few days.

LOLNOPE

but yeah that was the start of my mean-ness

I love you all so much and thank you for saying faithful through my rough time :D
