I don't own Percy Jackson. Talks about abuse.

      Percy was upset and tired. His mom had to leave and that made him sad. He didn't want Annabeth or the others to know he was sad because Gabe got mad at him when he was upset and he didn't want to make Annabeth mad. He really liked Annabeth.

     He was also over tried, he hadn't gotten a lot of sleep last night and he had had a long day.

     He was sitting on his bed waiting for someone to come and tell him goodnight. His ADHD was not making it easy to sit still, but Gabe didn't like it when he moved, so he had gotten used to sitting still. He looked around and didn't see anyone, so he thought that it would be ok to get up and move around. He jumped off the bed and went to one of the nightstands.

     He opened the top draw and looked around. There was a really cool watch, a few pens, a notebook, a few pictures, and a small box.

He picked the small box up and opened it. Inside was a small ring. It had a big and shiny pearl with a sliver band. He picked up the ring to get a better look, on the back there were words. It said; 'Wisegirl, I love you. I'll never let you fall again.'

Percy didn't know who's it was or who Wisegirl was, so he put it back in the box and throw it back in the drawer. He got in bed to try and sleep. 

It was hard for him to fell asleep because he missed his mom. A few minutes later Annabeth came in.

"Hey," she said softly. "Are you ready for bed?"

"Yes."

"Ok, get some sleep, ok? We have a lot of stuff we have to do tomorrow."

"Is my mom coming back?"

"I don't think so, but maybe we can go see her. Only if you listen really well and your mom is ok with it though."

"Ok! I'll be good!"

"I know you will. Now, get some sleep."

Percy closed his eyes and was able to fall asleep pretty easily. He didn't have any nightmares, for the first time in a long time. He woke up before Anyone else the next day and decided to go look for the others.

He was walking around the camp looking for the cabin Annabeth told him was hers. After a while he gave up and was going to go back to his cabin when he saw Jason in the window of one of the other cabins.

Jason wasn't Annabeth, but he had been pretty nice to Percy and Percy was lonely, so he walk into the cabin. The first thing that he saw was a faint statue of a tall scary guy.

"Who is that?" Percy asked.

Jason, who didn't hear Percy come in, jumped. "You scared me! That's just my dad."

Although that answered one of Percy's questions it left him with a lot more.

"You know your dad?"

"Yes, I do."

"Why do you have a big statue of him in your cabin?"

"He put it there."

"Why?"

"Cuz, he wanted me to remember that he loved me."

"Really?"

"I don't know!"

"Why is he wearing a dress?"

"It's not a dress, it's a..."

Percy cut him off, "it looks like a dress."

"I know, but it's not. It's like a robe."

"Why is he wearing it?"

"I don't know. You can ask him yourself when we go see him later."

"We're going to see your dad?"

"Yep."

The boys didn't talk for a few minutes before Percy asked another question.

"Is your dad nice?" He sounded a little scared when he asked, that made Jason worry.

"Most of the time yes. Sometimes he can get really mad and then he's not as nice, but he's my dad, so I know her still loved me even if he is mad at me."

Percy looked like he had another question that he was too afraid go ask. Jason didn't say anything, he knew if he gave Percy time he would ask the question.

He was right, about a minute later Percy spoke. "When he gets mad at you does he hurt you?"

"What do you mean?" Jason pressed.

"Like, does he hit you?"

"No, Percy. My dad doesn't hit me. Does your dad hit you?"

Percy shook his head, and for a moment Jason was relieved. "He's not my dad, he's my stepdad. I don't like him that much."

Jason's heart dropped to his toes. Paul was hitting Percy.

"Paul hits you?"

"Who's Paul?" Percy asked. "The only person who hits me is Smelly Gabe."

"Oh," that made Jason feel a little bit better. Gabe was gone and Paul was, as far as Jason could tell, a good stepfather.

Luckily for Jason they didn't talk about Gabe for much longer before Percy changed the subject. By the time Annabeth came in to see if Jason knew were Percy was, she went to get him and he was gone, they were talking about dogs and birds.

"Hi!" Percy said happily once he saw Annabeth.

"Hey, how long have you been in here?"

"Not long," Jason answered. "Maybe an hour and a half. We were just talking."

"Fun! Well, you two need to get dressed and then we need to eat breakfast. We are leaving for New York City in an hour and a half."

The boys got dressed quickly. Then the three of them walked down to meet the rest of the seven at breakfast. They eat quickly so that they could get to New York City.

As they were driving Annabeth told the others that they were going to see Percy's mom after they finished their meeting.

"Jason?" Percy called from his seat.

"Yeah?"

"Are we going to see your dad?"

"Yep!"

"How does he know Zeus is your dad?" Annabeth asked.

"He saw the giant statue and wanted to know who he was and I told him it was my dad and we were going to see him later."

A/N:

Thanks for reading! Sorry I haven't updated in forever. School is done and I'm getting a laptop this summer, so I will be able to write easier. I don't mind writing on my phone, it's kind of fun, but I don't love spell check changing my words.

Anyway, thanks again for reading,
Alex
