Percy POV
As me and my dad sat on the plane both lost in our thoughts I let my thoughts wander and I curse myself for this as every time I let my thoughts wander I end up going into a terrible flashback. I felt my phone ringing and I took it out to see it was my whor- sorry my mother, Sally Jackson. I grimace in disgust as I think about her and end the call as that is the 33rd time she has called me within 3 hours, as I lay back my head not even a minute later I receive a phone call from my lovely sister, Aphrodite Jackson I would try to ignore it but she would just call me back and not leave me alone until I listen to her plead for forgiveness and say she's sorry and me being a idiot will believe my older sister as she was always there for me as a child since I could never take care of myself but not even a day later she will go back to her bitchy attitude that I dislike so much. "Dad?" I said softly, knowing that my dad is having it worst than me, as I looked into his broken sea green eyes that look like they lost their mirth and happiness and I instantly knew that he was thinking what happened not even an hour ago. "Dad!" I said as I shook him roughly and snapped him out of his broken state as he looked at me with dull, lifeless eyes.
"Yes, Percy?" He asked trying very hard not to break into tears since he knows that I am also suffering from the same thing he is but his is on a whole different level than mine but I'm also pretty close to him too. I just raised my cell phone and showed him who is calling me, he looked confused until he saw who it was and I saw his eyes change from lifeless to full of anger and hate in mere seconds but also beneath that anger is pure pain. Maybe other people can't read my dad's emotions but me and my dad can read each other and other people like a book, it's our little inside joke whenever people try to hide things from us and we act like we don't know what they are talking about but we really know and use it as blackmail.
"I'm going to take this in the bathroom alright?" I said as he nodded and also gave me his phone, I looked at him confused but he didn't look back at me just out the window staring at the birds passing by. I got up only to run into the service lady and knock plates of food off of the counter and making a mess "Oh shoot, I'm so sorry ma'am." I said as I quickly picked up all of plates and silverware and put it on the counter and quickly surveyed the counter for napkins and found some as I grabbed them and quickly picked up all of the food that I spilled on the floor and put it in the trash can. When I finished, I looked up to see the service woman looking at me in shock "Ma'am, are you okay?" I must have snapped her out of her dazed state because she nodded and extended her hand out which I gratefully accepted and turned around to head to the bathroom until she stopped me. "How did you move that fast?" She asked with a slightly impressed tone in her voice, I looked at her confused until she spoke again, "I mean when you picked up all of the silverware and food, as I went to help you, I saw that you were already done. I've never seen someone move so quickly, where are you headed?" she asked curiously.
I hesitated 'should I tell her where we are headed' I looked over at my dad to see him nodding his head so I took that as permission to speak "Me and my dad are heading to New Rome High School about 37 hours from Greek High School, we decided to take a plane as we left our car at the airport and just jumped on at the last minute." I said telling her the truth, she nodded showing she understood till she asked the question that I dreaded she would ask. "How about your mother or any brothers or sisters?" She said as I flinched "Are they on the plane or are they already at New Rome High?" she asked curiously as I looked at my dad for an answer. We had one of those conversations that people always says creeps them out as we show no emotion when we communicate with our eyes, about a couple minutes later I spoke "No, my mother had an affair with my English teacher and my sister is popular at Greek High but yet she stood by as I was abused and beaten by her friends." I spat out the word friends like it was venom on my tongue. "And two of my best friends who I admit had a crush on accused me of being jealous of their boyfriends and broke off our friendship saying that I was a worthless friend." I stated void of emotion while everyone on the plane looked at me and my father sympathy in their eyes.
The service woman looked disgusted as did everyone else on the plane. As I turned around she spoke once more "Well I can assure you Percy that you and your father Poseidon will find happiness while your mother Sally and your sister Aphrodite will find nothing but pain,remorse, and guilt." she said seriously shocking me and my father. "How do you know who we are?" I questioned kind of suspicious and scared, "Everybody knows of the famous Jackson family, Percy." she said while smiling slightly "Not surprised there." I muttered under my breath until I realized that she sounded so sure of herself and completely positive that Sally and Aphrodite will suffer and feel the pain that we felt. "What makes you so positive that they will feel our pain?" I asked curiously, causing her to smile at me showing off pearly white teeth, "My name is Ananke, Percy." "Like the Primordial of Fate and Destiny Ananke from Greek Mythology?" she nodded "That's the one, I'm am compared to her since I kind of have a gut feeling that something good or bad is going to happen to someone and most of the time I'm right." I raised an eyebrow at Ananke "Most of the time?" she just rolled her eyes at me. "Anyway Percy, I can tell if something bad or good is going to happen to someone and I am 100% positive that they will feel your pain." She said seriously as I nodded my head until I felt my phone ring again making me growl.
"You better take that phone call Percy, we will see each other again soon Percy Jackson. It was nice meeting you." "Likewise Lady Ananke." I said as I went into a low bow and walked to the bathroom while hearing her chuckling and opened the door and locked it as I checked my cell phone to see I have 59 missed calls from Aphrodite and got ready to call her back till she called again. "God, this girl is stubborn as hell." I muttered till I slowly and reluctantly press the answer button and put the phone to my ear "Hello?" "Oh thank God Percy, me and mom have been calling you and dad for nearly an hour, where are you guys? Mom has been worried sick and keeps muttering 'I'm sorry Poseidon' and 'Forgive me' constantly but every time I ask her why she keeps muttering that she bursts out in tears plus one time I heard her in the bathroom saying "Oh thank goodness I'm not pregnant." do you know what she meant by that? Are we having another brother or sister? If so-" "No Aphrodite, if she was pregnant it would be a half-brother or half-sister." I said coldly already feeling sick to my stomach discussing this with someone I really don't want to talk to.
"What do you mean half-brother or half-sister? You make it sound as if she was cheat-" "SHE WAS! SHE was CHEATING on DAD with OUR ENGLISH TEACHER MR. BLOFIS!" "WHAT?! Percy that isn't possible, why would she cheat on dad with Mr. Blofis. That dude is a creeper plus what makes you think that she was cheating on dad?" "Hmm oh I don't know maybe because I WALKED IN ON DAD BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF MR. BLOFIS WHILE MOM WAS NO DOUBT NAKED UNDERNEATH THE SHEETS!" I said while breathing heavily, it was quiet until she spoke but a lot more quieter "Why weren't you at school? This was around 1 and we get out at 3:00 and mom came and picked me up at 2 and we have been calling you ever since. Also, why are your drawers mostly empty save for a few shirts and shorts?" "Wow you really are a idiot, Apollo was right. Most of my things are gone because me and dad don't plan on coming back home to people who don't want us." I said coldly "What do you mean you guys aren't coming back, we need you guys-" "No you don't need us, you need dad's credit card so you can go buy more slutty outfits while you need me so I can help you with your homework even though I'm younger and you should be helping me since I'm dyslexic but yet I work and work to help you pass the semester tests while I fail the semester tests while you pass and I don't even get a 'Thank you Percy, for helping me pass my test', but what do I get in return?"
"I get abuse from your little pack of friends who hit me and even break some of my bones and when I tell you that they are abusing me you always say "Why are you so jealous Percy? Grow up." and the same goes for Annabeth and Artemis." I said as my voice cracked on two of my once best friends "Two people who I thought were my best friends thought that I was merely jealous of their boyfriends Orion and Luke who abused me the most and even carved the letters L for Luke and O for Orion because they wanted me to stay away from Annabeth and Artemis. Annabeth I steered clear of since I lost her as a friend in the sixth grade while I lost Artemis in the seventh grade. She even ignored her own brother Apollo, who tried everything he could to impress his sister but she just ignored him as she did to me even though we were all closer than siblings in the sixth through the seventh grade but then she moved up to popularity with you. And she thought that she was everything and you did too so don't even try to say you didn't because you did." I said as I heard her take a breath to say something.
"Percy..." I heard her say as her voice started cracking and I could tell she was about to burst into tears but I didn't care as she didn't care for me. "Percy, Annabeth and Artemis found out that you were beaten and abused and they are so very sorry and they want to apologize to you so just let me give your-" "No." I snapped at her, I was just sick and tired of hearing all of this nonsense just so they can get on my good side and break through my walls and destroy me from the inside but not anymore. "I do not want anything from Artemis,Annabeth,your little posse,Sally,Mr. Blofis,or you." I spat at her causing her to burst into tears and crying hysterically over the phone and trying to apologize to me but I just snapped at her this time for real "JUST SHUT UP!" I yelled at her causing her to stop crying but I didn't stop yelling and I'm pretty sure everyone in the plane quieted down and was listening right now to our conversation but I'm pretty sure they were listening from the beginning.
"I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING YOUR WORTHLESS APOLOGIES NONSTOP! I DON'T CARE FOR YOU,ARTEMIS,OR ANNABETH OR NONE OF YOU EXCEPT FOR APOLLO,THALIA,NICO,BIANCA,AND GROVER WHO WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO STAYED BY MY SIDE AND DAD'S FRIENDLY CO-WORKERS WHO STUCK WITH HIM WHEN EVERYONE MOCKED DAD AND SAID THAT SALLY WAS UGLY COMPARED TO OTHER WOMAN BUT HE DIDN'T CARE! AND I GOT INTO FIGHTS WITH OTHER PEOPLE TO DEFEND YOU WHENEVER THEY CALLED YOU A WHORE OR SLUT AND I'M THE YOUNGEST IT SHOULD BE YOU HELPING ME BUT IT WASN'T! I HAD TO WORK MY ASS OFF TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR TESTS WHILE I'M THE ONE WHO IS DYSELXIC. YOU WEREN'T, I NEEDED THE HELP MORE THAN ANYBODY BUT I COULDN'T GET IT BECAUSE WE NEEDED THE MONEY TO BUY A TUTOR BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE I LET YOU HAVE THE MONEY FROM OUR SAVINGS!"
"So you,Artemis,Sally,and Annabeth can take your little apologies and give them to someone else because I don't want them. You all turned your back on me and told me that I need to grow up so now I'm telling you to grow up for I'm just another shy boy who does have braces and is a nerd." I said as I took deep breaths as she was sobbing hysterically trying to get me to listen "Besides, you said it yourself Aphrodite, in front of everyone in the whole lunch room "I shouldn't have been born, I'm an embarrassment to the Jackson family and I need to get out of your life and never come back." and I am. So congratulations 'The embarrassment to the Jackson family is out of your life and is never coming back' but can you hold up your end of the bargain and stay out of my life?" I said without feeling any remorse, all I felt was sick pleasure at hearing her pleading and begging for forgiveness. "So goodbye Aphrodite, may we never see each other ever again." "Percy wait-" That was as far as she got before I hung up and blocked her and Sally on both my phone and my dad's phone.
As I looked in the mirror I saw the cuts and marks that I received from Luke and Orion as I closed my eyes and went into a flashback remembering everything that happened to me and my dad that all started this morning...
Flashback
I looked in the mirror and my lanky self and saw all the minor cuts that I received from Luke and Orion nearly everyday and the letters L and O carved into my skin and saw that I am nothing like my sister as she was tall with kaleidoscope eyes while mine are sea green and she has all of my mom's traits while I have my mom's personality while I have my dad's looks. "Percy, Aphrodite! Hurry up you two are going to be late for school." I heard my mom say so I quickly brushed my teeth and put some clean clothes on and headed downstairs and grabbed an apple while I waited for Aphrodite as always.
"So son you and Aphrodite are taking your first semester tests correct?" my dad said while smiling at me, my dad is by no means a small man, he was a retired Navy SEAL and was a commander so he was pretty famous plus he had broad shoulders and muscles that aren't bulging but are somehow just right and is a expert in fighting in hand to hand combat with multiple people and he taught me some moves but not a lot as he tries to make money by being a business man in helping sea creatures and sea life and I must say he is doing a pretty darn good job at it. But my mom on the other hand is around 5'8 nowhere compared to my dads 6'2 but she has brown hair and kaleidoscope eyes that change color while she is a amazing book writer.
Whenever people see me and Aphrodite together as brother and sister they look at us in shock. I know 'the famous girl at high school has everything while I am the loser who has braces, glasses, and is considered a nerd but I'm not, I only try very hard since I am dyslexic from my dad's side but Aphrodite doesn't have dyslexia she has my mother's traits while I have all my dad's traits. Ten minutes later Aphrodite comes downstairs wearing a slutty outfit, me and my dad grimace in disgust as she has been doing this since the seventh grade. "Aphrodite, why don't you go back upstairs and change into something that covers more of your woman parts." "Honey, it's fine we need to get them to school so they can eat breakfast and get ready for their tests." my mom said hurriedly as she got her car keys and was already heading to the door until dad stopped her. "They can eat breakfast from McDonald's as I will not have my daughter going to school in...that." he said with a tone that meant if you don't co-operate stuff will go bad for you in an instant.
Mom knew that tone so she nodded while Aphrodite stomped up the stairs until dad sat down dejectedly on the chair and put his face in his hands. I've only seen him like that whenever he failed to save something in the sea due to men capturing dolphins or other sea animals. Mom walked over to him and patted his shoulder "What am I doing wrong as a father? I know that I was gone for twelve years of both of your lives but when I came back I made a promise to make up those lost years and I have been doing great until last year when Aphrodite started to change. What am I doing wrong?"
"You're doing nothing wrong Poseidon, she's just hitting her that peak that all kids in Middle School and High School and become aggressive and start to rebel a lot. Don't worry it will change soon." Mom said as I nodded in agreement "How come Percy doesn't do that and he is only a couple months behind Aphrodite yet he isn't going through his peak?" "Percy's different." Mom said while smiling at me "Percy, whose class are you testing in?" "Mr. Blofis" " I said scrunching up my nose in disgust as did my dad, but I swore that I saw my mom have some weird emotions flash through her eyes that confused me, desire...lust...and guilt flashed through her eyes but almost in an instant they were gone and replaced by her friendly smile.

As me and Aphrodite entered the school building we headed to 's class and saw he wasn't there. 'Good, gives me more time' I thought as Aphrodite completely abandoned me and went to sit with the 'popular group' as I headed over to my group of friends who were Thalia Grace who has short spiky black hair with gothic clothes, Nico Di Angelo, who is a hyper 10 year old who is pale like his sister but both are really friendly like Thalia, Bianca Di Angelo who is a year younger than Thalia and Me who has silky black hair going to her lower back and is actually really pretty but she is shy and hides her face behind a green ball cap. My other friend Grover Underwood is the same age as me and Thalia who has a disorder in his legs removing any chance for him to walk plus he is really nervous and has zero fighting experience so everybody picks on him while I cause fights with them and then finally my best friend Apollo who is also my age whose sister is the beautiful Artemis, who was once my best friend but decided to break off our friendship because I was apparently 'jealous of Orion' who is a giant compared to me and picks on me nonstop and beats me along with Luke in the bathroom.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I said with a happy smile on my face but on the inside I was hurting because Artemis just glared at me as I walked past and Aphrodite just ignored me like I wasn't even there to help her study for the semester test that was coming up. "The sky, Perce." Apollo said while chuckling as he saw Artemis glaring at me until he glared back at her with a glare that was worse than Artemis and Artemis has some scary glares causing her to look away. "I don't know why she is acting like such a bitch to you these days." Apollo said while shaking his as if disappointed "She apparently thinks that I am jealous of Orion and broke off our friendship saying and I quote "I thought that we were friends and I thought you would be happy for me but I guess not." and whenever I tried to tell her that I am happy she slapped me and stormed off. Now she just glares at me and mocks me." I said sadly feeling tears forming in my eyes.
"Don't worry about her Perce, she will get it coming soon. Maybe not today or tomorrow but soon she will get what she had coming and will feel nothing but pain and regret for doing this to you." Apollo said seriously as everyone nodded in agreement, I smiled sadly at my true friends until the teacher came in and it wasn't Mr. Blofis it looked like a substitute "Hello everyone, my name is and I will be your teacher today as Mr. Blofis called in sick today." she said as everyone whispered excitedly while me and all my friends raised our eyebrows. "That's strange, he was feeling just fine yesterday." Nico said with a thoughtful look on his face. "Now I got that out of the way it is time to take your semester test." She said as she passed everyone a test sheet "These tests will be worth 25% of your grade, you may begin." she said as she sat down while everyone started I was having a hard time reading the letters.

As the bell rang everyone left Orion shoving me into the desk roughly definitely opening up a wound that they created on Tuesday evening. "Mr. Orion, I will see you at lunch detention and after school so you can clean out all of the test booklets with erasers." Orion looked at her in shock as she glared at him as if daring him to complain so she can give him more assignments. "Yes, Greenfield." he said as he walked out till she spoke again "And I will see you again Monday for lunch and after school detention so you can scrape all the gum off all the tables." she said while giving him a sweet smile.
He stared at her in hate until he spoke through clenched teeth "Yes." he said as he stormed out of the hall shoving any poor student out of the way. "I don't know what Artemis see's in him. He is nothing but a arrogant and hot headed boy that she is always speaking about that she hates and here she is dating one." she said as she got out a first aid kit and walked over to me and guided me over to a spare seat and pulled up my shirt till I realized I still had scars from Luke and Orion "Wait don't-" I said panicked until she gasped in shock.
"Percy, who did this to you?" she whispered, I just pulled my shirt back down and stood up to walk out avoiding the terrible conservation that is bound to come up. As I got to the door she grabbed my wrist and didn't let go and spoke more sternly "Who did this to you?" "Luke Castellan and Orion." I said as I felt tears forming in my eyes and looked down as she let go of me and I heard her pick up her phone and call the principle and the police.
15 minutes later I'm sitting on a chair with Officer Miller and Officer Riley who are two of dad's military friends, Principle Stacy, and , looking at me in worry. I kept my face emotionless so Riley and Miller wouldn't read my expression. "Percy" Principle Stacy said slowly and softly "Ms. Greenfield called us here to say that you are being bullied, is this true?" "Bullied is an understatement." I muttered under my breath but Riley heard it "Bullied is an understatement? What do you mean little man?" he said using my nickname that he gave me 2 years ago when I first met him. "I was being more than bullied, I was being abused and beaten to a pulp and sometimes knocked unconscious until my friend Apollo finds me and takes me to the school nurse and I beg for her not to tell anyone and she agrees and let's me go home for the day." I said shocking everyone as I took deep breaths to control my breathing so I don't hyperventilate. "Who was doing this to you Percy?" Miller said softly while looking at me as I looked down and wouldn't speak until spoke for me "Luke Castellan son of May Castellan and Orion son of Oceanus." she said while I heard Riley and Miller growl while we all looked at them in shock.
"This is a serious offense, nearly killing a school student and knocking him unconscious." Riley said while shaking his head in disgust "Little man do you have any scars or marks on you from Luke and Orion that we can take photos of and send it to the judge?" Riley said as I looked at him with a questioning look "Judge?" he nodded "Percy, they nearly killed you, how long have they been doing this?" "Since the seventh grade." I whispered as they all recoiled in shock and hate "Yep, this is a serious offense since they have been doing this for a year and a half plus both boys have a criminal record." "They're only 14 how can they have a criminal record?" Principle Stacy said curiously. Riley and Miller shook their heads "Luke is 14 while Orion is 15 as he got held back twice times. So they can go to jail for this." Riley said as he looked at me in confusion "Why didn't you tell your dad about this?" I looked down "Because I knew if I told him he would kill Luke and Orion and go to prison for a lifetime as you both were Navy SEALS with him and know how he gets when someone he loves gets hurt." I said while looking at Riley and Miller as they both nodded.
"Percy can you take off your shirt so we can see where the scars and cuts are at?" Riley said as I nodded and took off my shirt and tossed it on the floor as they all looked at my scars and bruises in disgust as Riley and Miller both took pictures of every scar and bruise and nodded to me as I put my shirt on. "Miller call May Castellan and Oceanus and tell them to meet us at the City Hall in downtown Manhattan." Riley said as Miller nodded and called May Castellan and Oceanus as Riley turned to me. "Let's go Percy, we are going to talk to Judge O'Connor." he said as we started walking to his police car.
"Why are we going to see Judge O'Connor?" I asked curiously as he stopped and looked at me with cold brown eyes that looked almost black which kind of scared me "To see what we can do about Luke Castellan and Orion." he said as he got in the car.

When we got to the City Hall I saw my dad standing there pacing back and forth while May and Oceanus were talking like normal people and trying to calm him down. I enjoy May and Oceanus as they are both really sweet people but their sons...not so much. "Thank you, everyone for coming here, I know that I probably took you out of an important meeting but this is important and concerns all three of your sons." Riley said causing all three of them to freeze and look at Riley until they noticed me as Poseidon breathed out a sigh of relief and May and Oceanus starting muttering 'no' over and over again as Riley headed inside with everyone in tow as my dad hugged me and I hugged back just as tightly and he led us inside to see Judge O'Connor already there.
"Riley, why did you call of us here?" he asked curiously "I am here to discuss Luke Castellan and Orion." as he said this Judge O'Connor sat up straighter and spoke in a clear voice "What did they do?" "These two boys have beaten Perseus Jackson since the sixth grade and have nearly killed him in the process multiple times while knocking him out in the process, breaking some bones, and leaving scars on Perseus Jackson and I have proof on the scars on Perseus Jackson." he said as he walked over to Judge O'Connor and showed him the photos and I saw as his face twisted into disgust and rage as he started taking deep breaths and gripping his armrest very tightly and he nodded to Riley as he walked over to May and Oceanus and showed them the pictures. May cried out in shock as Oceanus turned away disgusted. Then he showed my dad and watched as my dad turned to Oceanus and May with rage visible in his eyes but then softened as he turned away and punched the wall with all his might releasing all his anger and putting a massive hole in the wall.
"What do you think we should do?" Judge O'Connor said "Jail." Riley said emotionally and I was shocked to see Oceanus and May nodding their heads in agreement. "While I do not wish for my son to go to jail at such a young age but I know he has to pay for his crimes and his father would be seriously disappointed in him if he was here." She said sadly as Oceanus nodded in agreement "I knew that I shouldn't have spoiled him so much as now he has done a terrible thing. Yes he has done many bad things in the past but this is clearly unacceptable. This time me and my wife will not help him as he has dug himself a hole so deep that we can't pull him out of ." Oceanus said with guilt lacing in his words as he looked at me with ocean blue eyes. "It is decided Luke Castellan and Orion will both be sent to jail as soon as possible. How many years will they serve?" My dad said "I was thinking of putting Luke Castellan in jail for 3 years and Orion in jail for five years as he has done things worse than Luke." Judge O'Connor said as everyone nodded in agreement.
"When will we can go take them into custody?" Miller asked "What time is it?" I said confusing everyone " It's noon, why?" "It is time for lunch at school so you can do it there." I said as everyone nodded in agreement. "Percy do you want to go with me to lunch since it is my break time?" "Sorry dad but I want to go to school and watch the look of shock and guilt on their faces." I said as he nodded and we all went our separate ways until May and Oceanus stopped me "Percy, we are both severely sorry for what our sons did to you and want to give you something." he said as he pulled a necklace out of his pocket and gave it to me and handed me a envelop that felt like there was paper inside of it. I put the envelop in my back pocket and examined the necklace he gave me, it was a single gem on it but the gem was mixed with sea green and a ocean blue like my eyes and my dad's eyes and Oceanus mixed together witch looked really cool. "Thank you Oceanus as this is perfect for me." I said as I gave him a smile and as May spoke up "I also put part of my gift in the envelop and here." she said as she gave me a piece of paper, I looked at her confused till she spoke "This is the secret recipe to my cookies that I make that everyone loves, I hope you enjoy it." she said shyly as I thanked her and got in the car and headed back to school.

As me and Riley got out of the car we walked inside to see Orion and Luke waiting for me but when they saw Riley they both turned and headed to the lunch room. "Was that them?" Riley said as May and Oceanus pulled up and got out of their cars. "Yes, that was them." I said as we headed to the lunch room till I stopped and looked at Riley in confusion "Why are you still here, I thought you were heading to the office?" "No little man, I was told by Miller to watch over you until we take Luke and Orion into custody." he said while smiling at me as I smiled back at him and walked into the lunch room as I saw Luke and Orion trying to hide behind Annabeth and Artemis while everyone else was looking at me in shock but I just headed to my table and saw all my friends all sitting there with Riley in tow as he glared at Luke and Orion.
"Everyone can continue what you were doing just ignore me." Riley said as he continued staring at Luke and Orion with a piercing gaze causing them to squirm and feel uncomfortable causing Artemis and Annabeth to ask them if they were okay. I felt my heart shatter into pieces only to be replaced by anger but I pushed it down and headed over to my friends while they all glared at Artemis and Annabeth as I sat down and ate my lunch that Riley got for me and sat beside me and started talking to my friends like they are old buddies and he isn't a former Navy SEAL who is now a cop who has a weapon on his waist.
About 15 minutes before lunch ended Aphrodite came over to me and sat beside me causing everyone one to scowl while Riley looks like he would prefer to eat a bullet than be here with her and I don't blame him. "Percy, where were you I was so worried-" "Oh I'm sure you were." I spat out while my friends looked at me in shock since I never talk back to anyone as I am really shy but I'm sick of being pushed around. Aphrodite also looked shocked "What do you mean of course I care for-" "Oh spare me the lies every time this happens you tell me your sorry, I believe you like a idiot and you go back to your bitchy attitude that I dislike so much. You aren't my sister, the Aphrodite Jackson that I knew didn't dress up like a slut and ignore her own brother, she stayed by her brother's side whenever he needed her, you don't therefore you aren't my sister and if you were I would feel embarrassed to be your brother with how much you act like a bitch." I said while everyone in the lunchroom was snickering or shocked, my friends were snickering while Riley was looking at me with pride knowing that I am finally taking the next step into becoming a man.
As I looked into her eyes I saw they were filled with regret, guilt, shame, and acceptance as she knows how she has been acting to me then they were filled with anger and she said words that tore at my heart and turned me cold and cruel to people like her. "You know what Perseus" she said as I flinched as I hated being called Perseus as she continued "you shouldn't have been born, you are a embarrassment to the Jackson family. What you need to do is get out of my life and never come back and you better take dad with you, if you did that, you would make my day." she said as I recoiled with hurt visible on my face, everyone looked at Aphrodite in shock and hate until she realized what she said "Percy I-" "No, your right, I am an embarrassment to the Jackson family and I will get out of your life if that is what makes you happy for I never could impress you so if doing that makes you happy I will do it." I said while my voice was cracking and I had tears rolling down my face but didn't bother to wipe them away as Thalia jumped out of her seat and tackled Aphrodite and was about to hit her until Riley stopped her and held her back.
"Let me pound her little pretty face into the ground, then we'll see how pretty she is after." Thalia said as she struggled out of Riley's bear grip but he just held her tighter "Sit down, Aphrodite go back to your little friends and shut up same goes for you Thalia." he said as he glared at Thalia making her sit down while Aphrodite got up and looked at me and tried to say something but I just ran out of the lunchroom with tears streaming down my face as I made my way to my house.
As I made my way to my house I saw my dad's 78' Charger still in the parking lot 'dad's break ended about 15 minutes ago why is he still here' I thought until I heard my mother scream "Stop it Poseidon,STOP! I heard as I ran up to my doorstep and opened my door and ran upstairs to see Mr. Blofis naked on the floor while blood was pooling from his nose and mouth and I looked at my dad to see him shaking in anger and see my mother who is undeniably naked beneath the bed sheets. I was shocked until I noticed what happened 'mom was cheating on dad with my English teacher' I thought as I gasped bringing all attention to me as my dad looked at me with pain visible in his eyes while my mother's eyes got even bigger and she tried to speak "Percy-" I couldn't deal with anymore betrayal as I quickly grabbed my dads hand and took off towards my room locking the door as I went out and slamming the door and putting a spare chair in front of it and ran to my room while dragging my dad behind me who had a surprised look on his face.
As I reached my room my door was already open so I just ran inside and packed as much clothes as I could into my duffel bags and turned to my dad to see him looking at me with a determined look in his eyes "Percy, do you want to stay with Sally and Aphrodite" he said as I flinched thinking of those two people as he continued "or do you want to come with me to a new life?" "You" I said instantly as he smiled at me and I saw some of the light return to his eyes and we both opened my door to see my mother's door turning but not opening until we heard the lock click as we both looked at each other and took off towards the door slamming it as we went out and got in the car and drove off as we heard my mom begging us to come back but I just squeezed my eyes shut trying to get the terrible image out of my head but it wouldn't leave as my dad went even faster and we headed to the nearest hotel.
As we headed into the nearest hotel me and my dad both started crying and just sat there in the car, about 15 minutes later we rented a room but just for an hour which confused me but he said to take a shower and change my clothes which I did and we ate some food and got back into the nearest airport as dad looked at the screen until he saw I guess what he needed and started walking forward causing me to sprint to catch up to my dad and handed the lady four tickets which confused me since there was only two of us but she nodded and put the two tickets on the counter and let us in.
As I put my bags up I spoke to dad "Where are we going to go dad we have no money." "We are heading to New Rome High School about 37 hours from here because I got a job there with some people named Zeus and Hades and they offered me a job offer where I can make a bunch of money so I took it and was going to bring Sally and Aphrodite but..." he trailed off but I nodded to show him that I understood "What happened between you and Aphrodite?" dad said curiously causing me to flinch but I told him and his eyes looked even more lifeless but I'm sure that mine are too. Then together we sat down both lost in our thoughts...
Flashback Ends
I was knocked out of my terrible thoughts by someone knocking on the door. I washed out my face and turned around to open the door and was greeted by what looked like another service woman "Sir, we are getting ready to take flight, may you please go sit back down?" I nodded and left the bathroom to see everyone looking at me sympathetically while some gave me some encouraging smiles and reassured me that everything will be fine as I smiled at them and sat down back beside my dad and gave him his phone. "I thought you were going to break your phone so I gave you mine hoping to break it but I guess you didn't." "I just blocked them." I said not saying their names, he just nodded and looked out the window till I held my hand out to him, he just raised an eyebrow at me "To a new life and a new beginning." I said as he put his hand on top of mine and nodded till we both dropped our hands and I put in my headphones and fell into a peaceful sleep.
