I didn't want to return to Olympus, but I didn't want to stay here where people were swarming me, asking who she was and why she hit me and if they need to call the police. I quickly dashed to the elevator when someone asked for her and my name so they could call the cops. I sighed, and prayed for the ride to end already. I went to the water, and healed my red cheek so they don't suspect anything.
"What took you so long?" My mom asked quietly. Annabeth was no where in sight, which is probably a good thing at the moment. I took it that she and I broke up, and I did admit that it did make me upset, depressed even. I walked right past her and grabbed my medication from my dad, sitting back down and dumping two depression pills into my hands.
"Percy, put them away." Jason said quietly to me. I swallowed them quickly, and Poseidon summoned me a glass of water, which I quickly drank.
"There, away. Let's watch." I sighed, another memory showing up.
3rd POV
Percy sat on the bench, waiting, because his mom was working. He sat quietly, drawing in a sketch book. People say he was good at drawing, and he pays attention to the small details, which of course Percy denies.
"Whatcha drawing?" A girl asked, leaning over his shoulder. Percy jumped, turning around quickly. He recognized her from school, she was the one who was getting picked on by the guy, which Percy beat up.
"A picture of my mom's and my cabin on the beach." Percy smiled fondly.
"How do you draw so good? I wish I can draw like that." She smiled widely. Percy looked at the girl, long, thick dark brown hair, green eyes, a bit shorter than himself, very cute.
"Um, I try." Percy smiled with a deep blush. "I'm Percy, by the way." He smiled nervously.
"Rebecca, but you can call me whatever you want." She smiled with a deep blush, which made Percy blush even more.
"Is the nickname Becky good?" Percy asked, causing Rebecca to nod with a grin.
"It's perfect! You wanna come play with me and my older brother? He is 14 years old, and he has his girlfriend, so I think I can bring a friend I wanted to." Becky smiled at Percy. Percy shifted nervously, looking to the place his mom was working, she looked busy, so Percy smiled.
"Okay!" Percy smiled excitedly. He was happy that he might actually be able to be a kid, and maybe Becky can help him with that. She doesn't seem dumb for a 5 year old, pretty smart.
"First one to the slide wins!" She shouted and bolted.
"No fair! You got a head start." Percy giggled, and it made him happy that he was this happy. He chased after her quickly, catching up and getting to the slide before her, causing her to pout.
"No fair, your a boy, boys run faster." She said with her tongue sticking out. Percy smirked, shaking his head.
"Girls run just as fast, if not, faster! You just happen to meet a fast runner." Percy grinned, causing Becky to blush.
"Young love." Aphrodite cooed, causing me to jump. I forgot the gods were here, or anyone. I just realized almost all of camp, excluding the younger kids were here. All of my Greek friends were here, and Rachel, wait, she is Greek, she's the oracle.
"She and I stayed friends, up until this day, and years to come." I smiled fondly. I did have the biggest crush on her for years, and she knew about everything, she didn't judge me.
"Whatever." She smiled. "I'll introduce you to my brother!" She smiled, dragging Percy around until he was found, talking with a tall girl that had blond hair, tight jeans and a hoodie. The boy looked a lot like his sister, dark brown hair green eyes, but he was much taller, and of course a different gender.
"Your sister is here, and it looks like she has a friend." The lady smiled widely, smiling at us with a small wave. "Hi, my names Ally, what's your name?" She asked me.
"My name is Percy, Percy Jackson!" Percy grinned, and it was real this time, he enjoyed meeting new people, it always excited him to see the way people behave.
"Hey, I'm Rebecca's brother, Jacob." He smiled. He did a small wave, which made Percy smile even wider, if that was even possible at this point.
"Rebecca, go play with Percy while Jacob and I talk, mkay? I also have some snacks if you guys want." Ally smiled. Becky nodded happily, receiving cookies from her brother's girlfriend.
"Do you want one?" She asked. Percy nodded, and Becky placed a chocolate chip cookie in his hand, which he ate happily.
"Thanks." Percy smiled, cookie crumbs stuck all around his lips, which he licked off.
"Let's go!" Becky grinned playfully, continuing to drag Percy around and playing with him. They eventually came across a group of kids their age, playing on the swings.
"Hi!" She smiled and waved. There were two girls and one boy sitting on the swings.
"Hi!" They said, and Percy waved, deciding that the word 'hi' is overrated.
"I'm Rebecca, but you can call me Becky. And this here is Percy!" She introduced herself and him.
"Cool! I'm Parker! This is Summer and Sophia!" Parker grinned. "Here, Becky you can have the swing, us men will push you guys." Parker said jokingly, and Percy decided that he liked the guy. For the rest of the afternoon Percy hung out with them, and he had never had so much fun in his life.
"Well, that was a happy memory. What ever happened to them? You never mentioned them?" Grover asked. I jumped, nearly punching him in the face.
"Dude, scare me much!" I shouted, causing him to smirk.
"Sorry man. But seriously, what happened to them?" Grover asked. I sighed, a tear running down my face.
"Parker was diagnosed with cancer, and was hospitalized, we rarely got to see him. Sophia's parents were thrown in jail so she was forced to go into a foster home, Summer was put into juvie, and Becky and I are still friends. I need to call her. She knew about everything, mainly because she was good at what she does. She made a career out of it, and it the most successful out of all of us." I smiled.
"Did Parker live?" Hazel asked.
"Um, I think so. I think it was about 4 years ago he was released, cured of cancer. I visited him the most while he was in the hospital. I practically lived there." I smiled at the memory.
"What does Rebecca do anyways?" Leo asked.
"She works with the government and tracks people and idems. She stalks people. She knows of every little thing I've done and where I have been and when. I wouldn't be shocked if she has me wired with cameras. Wait, does she have me wired?" I asked, patting my jacket, finding the camera.
"Um, doesn't that put the entire Greek existence in danger or something?" Leo asked cluelessly.
"Nah, she knows. She won't tell anyone." I smiled. I looked directly into the camera, and glared.
"Ooh, can I say something?" Piper asked excitedly and I shrugged. She looked into the camera, laughing. "I bet you had the biggest crush ever on Percy when you were little, oh my gods, I bet he liked you too, just saying." Piper grinned.
"Piper!" I shouted, blushing.
"I apologize for her, daughter of Aphrodite thing. By the way, tomorrow I'm going to try and see Summer in jail, is she still there? Message me the details when you can. Bye." I said, smashing the camera.
"I guess you rubbed off on her." Jason laughed at me. I grinned.
"Of course I do, I'm an amazing influencer. Not a good influence, but good at influencing people to do dumb shit." I laughed.
"What did Summer even do?" Frank asked.
"She tried killing our teacher before." I shrugged, causing everyone to look at me in surprise. I only shrugged. "Hey, she had a horrible obsession with video games, she thought it was a simulator. She feels bad now. Her parents also got in trouble for child neglect though." I said thoughtfully.
"Crazy, that is crazy." Leo laughed.
"Let's take tomorrow off." Zeus declared, and everyone agreed. Yes! I can attempt to see my jailed friend. "And Percy, if you can get them, you may bring them to Olympus when we return day after tomorrow." Zeus smiled, causing me to grin.
"Yes!" I shouted joyfully. Time to get my old friends together again.
