"Hello? Who's this?" I asked, stepping outside. I didn't recognize the number so it must be a wrong number. "I think you may have the wrong number." I chuckled.

  "Is this Andy Anderson?" The guy asked and I paled. That's the exact name I used to go by in my old business. "Or Percy Jackson, whichever you prefer." He said. I felt dizzy, and so I sat down shakily.

  "Yeah, who's this?" I asked.

  "I'm an old client, and I'm willing to pay lots." He said and I coughed.

  "Sir, I don't do that business anymore." I said nervously. "I stopped doing it years ago. How did you get my number?" I asked.

  "None of your business. I'm willing to pay double." He offered, but he was losing his patience. The original price was 400. I shook my head, trying not to cry. I always hated these calls when I was little.

  "I don't do that anymore, sir." I growled slightly, biting my cheek.

  "Triple." He said.

  "I don't do the fucking business anymore!" I growled angrily, but my body was to shaky, I couldn't even move my phone away from my ear to hang hung. My anxiety was clawing at me, and I didn't have any of my medication.

  "You will!" He shouted at me. I sort of recognized his voice, but I'm not sure where. He said he was an old client, older man more than likely.

  "Sir, I don't believe you have a say in that." I said, trying to calm my nerves. I took a deep breath. Why don't I? I don't have a girlfriend, and if Sophia still does the prostitution thing, what's the problem if I do?

  "If you don't, you will regret it." He threatened angrily. I sighed, until the phone was ripped away from me, and I was shocked when I saw that it was Leo took the phone, and did his best impression of my voice.

  "Sir, remind me where I know you from." He said. He did a pretty good impression, but it angered me. Leo put the phone on speaker.

  "I was an old client I already told you! I'll pay you 3 thousand to come over for a quickie and clean up, and never hear from me again!" He growled in frustration. The look they all gave me chilled me to the bone.

   "I'll, um, get back to you on that." I gulped, taking my phone back and hanging up before he could say anything. No one knew about the thing, except my mom.

  "What did he mean." Grover said, not even asking. Seeing Grover mad was the scariest thing ever, cause he doesn't get mad very often, it's rare. But when he's mad, you regret getting him mad.

   "A wrong number." I said nervously. I felt like I was getting choked, and I pulled on my shirt collar nervously. Sweat rolled down my forehead, and it was obvious I was nervous. Most of my friends noticed my anxiety spike, and handed me my medication discretely.

  "It clearly wasn't. The truth." Piper said.

  "And before you say that it was just some old drug dealing, he said quickie and most of us know that that means a sloppy hookup." Sophia said and I gulped.

   "I also used to be part of the whole sex trafficking thing but I did it on my own free will and set it up on the black market because we really needed money because Gabe was getting meaner and meaner because he couldn't afford his beer or drugs." I said quickly, and everyone looked at me in shock.

   "And he somehow got your number?" Jason asked with a raised eyebrow.

  "I think somebody put it on the black market. But I had a fake name and everything." I claimed, trying not to cry.

  "And we're supposed to believe that you didn't put it back into the black market?" Dionysus scoffed, eyeing me. I blinked repeatedly, trying to blink away the tears. I wasn't going to cry.

  "Yes! I don't use the black market anymore because I almost got arrested for it, and my mom almost got arrested for neglect and child prostitution or whatever the fuck it's called!" I growled, tears starting to roll. I wiped my cheeks quickly.

   "And we believe that why?" He asked again and I sniffled slightly, still wiping my tears.

  "Well clearly you have no reason to. Whatever, fuck it, I'm out." I growled, taking my phone.

24 hours later~

   I walked back to Olympus casually, after getting a sick to tattoo. The tattoo was of a broken chain over my wrist. It was small and simple, but help a powerful message. I strolled up to the throne room doors casually and walked in, stumbling slightly.

  "Percy? And he is drunk." Parker said, chuckling.

  "Why does this seem like a normal thing?" Jason scoffed, walking up to me.

  "What are you talking about." I laughed, dragging my words so I spoke slowly.

  "Well he's drunk but there's definitely something else in his system." Jason muttered, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.

  "Put me down!" I laughed, kicking and squirming around.

  "Is that a hickey on his neck I see?" Aphrodite asked curiously, and I instantly pulled my hoodie so it covered my neck.

  "Don't tell me he actually went to hook up with the dude." Leo asked, approaching me after Jason set me down.

  "Well he clearly has a concussion so maybe something happened." Will said, and everyone nodded.

  "Are you guys having a conversation about me to my face?" I laughed, laying down on the ground. "If so, that's rude." I grinned, sticking my tongue out. "If not, well, I can't even hear you guys properly so whatever." I laughed. I could hear them, but I couldn't really process what they were saying.

Parker's POV (why not)

  I looked at Percy sadly. He always looked for ways to hurt. Pain is his addiction, and no drug addiction could be worse than his for pain.

  "Of course he hooked up with that guy." I said, shaking my head. Becky and I were the mature ones in the group, less likely to do something stupid, but we still did dumb stuff.

  "How can you tell?" The Piper girl asked. At least I think that's her name, or Hazel. They were good to Percy, they bring out his good side, a side not many people thought he had growing up. I never seen Percy so kind and forgiving until I saw him with them.

  "He usually gets his hands on some drugs and liquors after a hookup, it's his denial phase. He has it every time." Summer said sadly, sitting beside Percy.

  "Honestly, I'm not surprised he went after he was accused of lying about the black market thing." I shrugged.

  "Did you know he used to be involved in child prostitution?" Annabeth asked. She cared for Percy, but she was also looking out for herself. She put up strong guards, no doubt she has been hurt before. We all shook our heads. It's true, we had no clue about it. All we knew was that Gabe raped him, and every time after he had his denial phase. He did it quite often so we assumed Gabe was a really horny bitch, but now it's so much clearer.

  "Every time he sobered up, he always said Gabe raped him again. But now, it's so clear. How could we not realize this sooner?" Becky asked, sitting beside Percy, who was still laughing. What is he laughing at?

   "If you never accused him of lying, he wouldn't have gone!" Summer shouted angrily, shoving Dionysus. Summers glare was almost as scary as Percy's, but when she snarled with the glare, she looked like the most evil person anyone has ever met.

   "You do not threaten me, mortal." Dionysus growled, fixing his position.

   "Well what did I just do! Your godly ass can back out of his business! You don't know him so you have no right whatsoever to give your opinion! You are lucky, because if I could, I would take Percy's sword and torture you till you beg for mercy." She shouted, walking away. Percy had stopped laughing, staring at Summer.

    "Come on Percy." Becky said, wrapping Percy's arm around her shoulder.

  "Do you guys always take care of him when he gets like this?" A girl with punk rock hair and small tiara on her head asked. Percy told us all about her, and Nico, and a lot of others. I'm pretty sure she's Thalia.

   "We always care for each other. Like one time Sophia got so wasted, and she was having a panic attack, kept trying to kill herself, we had to watch her and calm her down. Us five are family, we never let each other down, especially when they need us most." Summer said.

  "We've all had our days when we needed to be taken care of. Percy just gets those days more often. He didn't get really bad for it until after-" Sophia started.

   "Sophia, we don't talk about that." I mumbled to her and add sighed.

  "They will find out anyways." Sophia said and I sighed, nodding.
