"Are you excited!" my mom asked excitedly. "Why would I be excited to go to a mental ward?" I asked. "Just trying to lighten the mood." My mom replied. "I love you... and I'll see you in a few weeks or so. You and Paul should visit often." I said as my mom pulled up to the ward that I would be staying at. "I love you too... We will..." My mom frowned and looked up but quickly put on a smile and turned back to me, "Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you?" She asked. "Yes, I'm Sure" I retorted. My mom leaned over to the passenger seat and kissed my cheek. "I'll miss you." She said. I smiled back at her. "I'll miss you too." I grabbed my bag from the backseat and opened the passenger door. "Bye, mom" "Bye, Percy." My mom called after me. DISCLAIMER: I do not own characters. They belong to Rick Riordan.
