My friend RandomTeddyBear thought this would be an interesting idea, so I decided to agree with him and write this. I really hope that you will like it. I know Katie isn't a HUGE part of the stories, but she does play a part, which you'll know if you have read all of the other stories. I think that this will be interesting, but if it isn't, I am really sorry. I wanted to write it, and I hope you'll at least give the first chapter a chance and review. I'd love that. Alright, well I am going to write the chapter now, so I have to say goodbye. Enjoy!
My name is Katie Blake. I am 14 years old, and you may know me. You may not. Hold on...give me a second to think...my older brother is Xander Blake. Know me now? Probably, I'm guessing. You know me if you know my brother, because I'm usually trailing behind him or following him like a lap dog. Ha ha. And you think I'm joking.
Alright, back to why I'm here. I have a story to tell, just like anyone else. I was brought to Camp Halfblood when my brother was 10, and I was 9. I'm only a year younger then him, but I am also the mature one...most of the time. I found out almost instantly that I was a daughter of Apollo, and yes, I also found out every single Greek god and goddess and monster exists as well, and are as real as a human being. It had been a hard first few years, but soon it got easier, and I fell into the rhythm of camp just like I did my life at home. I wasn't the new kid for very long. Many kids came and went, some growing up and getting too old for camp, some staying and becoming counselors(not many though.), and some just plain dying on quests and never being seen again. I knew some demigods, as children of the gods and a mortal(my mother, for your information, is very much human) are called, never even made it to somewhere safe and nice like Camp Halfblood. It was sad really, but I felt lucky, because I was here, safe and sound, with my friends, my life, and my brother. Everything was perfect. And it still is.
Now your caught up on my back story. Now I can tell you what's happening currently.
I wake up on a sunny morning, about 7am, as per usual. I always wake up earlyish, and since Camp Halfblood has a weather filter...thingy, it's always nice and sunny and just warm enough to feel good here. I get out of my bunk and amble over to Xander's bunk. He's going to be late to training again if he doesn't get up soon.
"Xander, get up!" I yell. Instantly he's opening his eyes and looking at me.
"What do you want?"He groans.
"It's time for training." I answer, and he jumps out of bed. I watch as he grabs a t-shirt, a pair of shorts, and sandals and changes into them quickly. Not watching, watching you perverts! He's my brother. Get your minds out of the gutter. I just mean he changed into them. I turned the other way, but anyway, we walked out of the cabin and head toward the training arena. He gets in front of me, like he usually does, and I follow behind him, like I usually do. Xander looks more sad then he usually does though, and he's looking at the ground, which I know is what he does when he's sad. I don't know why, and being his little sister, I'm curious about it.
"Why are you sad?" I ask.
Xander turns around and looks confused for a second. "What do you mean?" He replies, answering my question with a question. I hate it when people do that.
"I mean your staring at the ground like you usually do when your sad." I say. Such a straightforward answer, but it's what I need to say to get an answer. Maybe. Maybe Xander will give me an actual answer. Maybe he'll answer my question with a question. And if he does I'm going to slap him.
"I don't know what your talking about." He insists, and walks into the training arena.
Alright, so Xander and I somewhat have different schedules. I have a "free time" right now, so I can go and do whatever I want. I just make sure Xander gets to training, because I know he'll be beyond mad if he misses his training time.
I turn around, now that Xander is where he has to be, and see my boyfriend, Lucas. Did I forget to mention him? If so, I shouldn't have. He's perfect. He's hot, his mother is Aphrodite, which only makes me love him more(see the cheesy pun? Ha ha. I apologize, I just had to go there), and he is so sweet. He has long brown hair, and the most gorgeous green eyes I have ever seen in my life, and I melt every time I look at him. And then there's his six pack...wow. I can feel it through his shirt every time I touch him, which I do a lot, both accidentally, and intentionally. We've never kissed, but we've only been dating for a few weeks. Both of us are extremely careful with what we do. We don't want to rush into anything.
"Hey there, sun goddess." He murmurs, and I just about die.
"I'm not a goddess." I say while blushing like any girl would when hearing someone like Lucas say that to them.
"Oh… But you're a goddess to me." He says, and then scoops me into his arms with strong hands that grip me everywhere I need to be gripped. I don't doubt his ability to hold me for a second. He isn't weak.
"Where are we going?" I yelp, loving this more then words can even say.
"Oh… How about my cabin?" He says, his tone soft and sexy.
Now can I possibly turn that down? I know-I can't. I won't. I can do this. It's just going back to his cabin. I can totally do this.
"Ok…" I gasp, and he takes me to his cabin and sets me down on the ground so I'm standing on my own two feet.
"So… Lucas…" I start, trying to figure out his intentions. I don't want to get too far into this and then back out. If he wants something, I'm going to make sure I know about it beforehand. I'm going to make sure he knows his boundaries before we do anything. I am a careful girlfriend, like I said before.
He immediately puts his soft warm lips onto mine and he begins to kiss me. This is our first kiss and it feels like heaven. I begin to back up with him still kissing me as I try and get out gently enough to show him I enjoy it, but also that this is not leading into what all those stupid movies turn kissing sessions into. I end up falling onto his bed. I thought the camp didn't have beds. We have bunks. He took off his shirt and began kissing me some more, and he was leaning over me struggling to get his pants off. I put my hands on his six pack, now feeling his skin burning against my fingertips, so intimately. His body is so warm. But I know I couldn't do this. Xander would kill me if I had a baby. I would kill myself if I had a baby now.
"Lucas… I can't do this. I'm sorry." I gasp between his passionate kisses.
"What? Why not?" He stammers, stopping completely. He looks annoyed. I don't know what to say to him besides the truth.
"I'm not ready." I say confidently, convinced he'll be so happy with me for speaking my mind, and he'll just kiss me, put his clothes back on and we'll walk out of here together, holding hands and smiling and looking into each others eyes. That would be the perfect resolution. but of course, as nothing is perfect for a demigod, I don't get that "perfect" resolution.
He gets off of over top of me and puts his shirt back on.
"Well… then…Katie we're through!"
"But… Lucas…" My eyes fill with tears and I turn to the door and run out crying, unable to even speak. I can't believe this. This isn't supposed to be how things worked out. He was supposed to be fine with me not being ready. Respect that I wasn't ready. Not dump me.
I collapse onto the ground outside the training arena in tears. I don't care who sees me, or what happens, I just want to sit here and cry until I feel better. My boyfriend dumped me. My perfect boyfriend dumped me. I am heartbroken, naturally. And then I see Xander exit the arena and our eyes meet.
"Katie? Katie, what's wrong?" He asks. I know he cares about me. He's my big brother. How could he not? I'm so lucky to have him, especially at this second.
I look up at him. "Xander...promise to always be my friend..." I gasp.
"Of course I will, little sis." He sits down and puts his arm around my shoulders in a comforting way.
"Now little sis, why don't you tell your big bro what's the matter." He says.
I start laughing, and soon I'm feeling well enough to tell him everything. "I went to my boyfriend's cabin while you were in training...his name is Lucas, from the Aphrodite cabin, and we kissed a lot...and he...wanted some more stuff that I wasn't ready for, and I told him that...and he broke up with me."
Xander gives me a confused look. Did he even know I had a boyfriend? Probably not. This isn't something I would probably tell him.
I watch him as he gets up and holds his hand out for me to grab, which I do, and he helps me to my feet again. I hug him tightly and walk away, trying to collect my thoughts.
I walk aimlessly around camp, not quite knowing where I should go. I went everywhere with Xander, or Lucas, but both of them were kind of busy right now. Xander with his activities, and for all I knew, Lucas being happy without me.'
3 Hours Later
I end up going back to Lucas's cabin. I want him back so badly it's making me dizzy and lightheaded. I would do anything to get him to like me again. Is sex really what made him stop liking me? Did he even like me when we were dating? Or did he just want to have sex with me and leave me single and alone? There are so many questions buzzing through my head that I don't know what I want an answer to first...or even if I want answers to any of those questions. The answers could hurt me in the long run.
I knock on the door, wondering if he'll even answer the door. Or worse...what if one of his half siblings opens the door? I'd be totally screwed if that happened.
The door swings open, and standing behind it luckily, is Lucas. He groans, and tilts his head back. "May I help you?" He asks.
"May I come in?" I say softly.
"No. Why should I let you in? I liked you a lot, Katie. Alright? And you saying no to me like that, it hurt. I was ready, and I thought you were. You were letting me kiss you,and when you fell on the bed you didn't get up. I took that as a cue to get going and start stripping." He says back. His tone is sad, hurt even.
"Is sex all you wanted from me?" I ask.
"I didn't just want sex, Katie. I love having you as my girlfriend. But I didn't know you wanted to wait! I was in the mood."
"I want you to take me back." I say.
"I don't want to take you back, Katie. I feel played. I feel like you played me. I feel stupid." He responds.
He puts his hand on my shoulder and starts steering me back. I put my hands on his chest. "If I have sex with you, will you take me back?" I ask urgently, looking down at my shoes.
"I'll consider it." is Lucas's answer.
"Well then," I say, looking up at him with a small smile, my fingers on the edge of my shirt. "Let's get to it." I say.
An Hour Later:
I am gasping for breath, the blankets of Lucas's bed(I found out that Aphrodite cabin has beds and bunks) tucked up under my chin. "You...are amazing..." I murmur.
"So were you." he replies. We both have no virginity anymore.
"Am I your girlfriend again?" I ask him.
"I need time to think. A day. Just a day."
I nod, get up, put my clothes on, and walk out smiling, going back to my own cabin with a new energy. He's totally taking me back.
The Next Day:
I walk back in to Lucas's cabin when his half sister Silena opens the door. She knows we're dating, or at least, that we were, and let's me in with no questions before exiting herself. I didn't give Xander any notice of me leaving, and I'm sure that he's worried sick about me. But I don't care. I'm getting an answer today. And that answer will be yes.
"So...it's been a day. I need an answer." I say softly.
"I still feel like your disloyal to me, Katie. I think your just not mature enough." He mutters, looking at me dead in the eyes, a glare on his expression.
I am practically in tears within seconds. Xander bursts in the door, and since nobody else was here, nobody stopped him.
"Katie...who is this?" He asks.
"Xander… This is my boyfriend Lucas." I reply.
"No… I'm her ex-boyfriend." Lucas says, venom in his tone.
"Lucas… Please I wasn't ready." I plead, trying to get him back.
"Katie, I've made my choice. Why did you come back?" Lucas asks Katie.
I glare at him. I gave up my freaking virginity, asshole! Just be my boyfriend again.
"Yeah Katie. Why did you come back?" Xander says, glaring at both of us. That just makes me even more upset, seeing him upset with me.
"I was hoping you would take me back." I murmur to Lucas.
"Well… I'm not gonna!" Lucas says.I start sobbing, and Xander puts his arm around me, pushing me toward the door. Once outside, I start sniffling.
He lets go of me, walks back inside, and then I see him punch Lucas square in the face, blood dripping out of ex boyfriends nose. He comes back out and returns his arm to where it was before, helping me to walk away.
"Does that make you feel better?" He asks jokingly. I can tell he's trying to make me laugh.
"… Yes… Yes it does." I reply with a laugh. We walk off to the dining pavilion to get some lunch. I get a cheeseburger, but only eat half of it, and hand the other half to Xander. He puts it down on his plate, eating about half of his own lunch and then walking to the fire and scraping his plate in, offering our father our burnt foods as he murmurs something. I frown. Xander wants to make contact with our father so badly. Wants to meet him, know him more then just that he's our dad, and that he claimed us. He wants it more then I do, honestly.
He comes back over and shakes his head, telling me silently it didn't work. I squeeze his hand from across the tabletop,and we share a smile.
I'll be there for my big brother, just like he was there for me today. We'll always be there for each other.
So there is the first chapter. What did you think? I think it was good, but you should tell me what your thinking. Leave me a review and let me know please! I'd really appreciate it! And if you like it, I will update and make another chapter. But I need to know, otherwise this story will be done and over with here and now at this point. Alright, well goodbye for now.
