Chapter Seven

Poseidon's POV

"Percy?" Hestia asked worriedly. Just then did I noticed all that was wrong with him.

The whites of his eyes were yellow and red, his iris' a dull, dead green. He was way to thin, thinner than Nico, and his skin was pale, and large, dark bags hung under his eyes. Then I noticed his wrists, which were dripping blood onto the white flooring. His eyes rolled back in his head and he toppled over sideways, hitting the ground with a thud. Small pools of blood started to form around his arms. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop all throughout the throne room, which was a change from the usual bickering. "Get the seven, Thalia and Nico. Now!" Zeus commanded, and there was a golden flash as frantic demigods appeared.

"Where's Percy?!" Everyone screamed at once, except Jason, who rushed forward and immediately dropped in front of Percy.

"No no no no..." He muttered, rolling Percy over onto his back. "Oh shit, this isn't good..."

"What? Is he okay?" Nico asked frantically, dropping by Jason. The others, horrified at the scene, stood behind them. Hazel's face turned green and she looked away.

"He's losing to much blood, he's going to die if he doesn't get these wrapped!" Jason exclaimed. "Apollo, you're sitting right next to him! Heal him, you dumbass!"

Apollo, snapping out of his shock, leapt from his throne and knelt in front of Percy across from Jason. He summoned some necter and ambrosia, as well at some gauze wrap. "Feed him this, he can handle two squares." Apollo told Jason, shoving the supplies in his hands. Jason immediately started to feed my unconsious son the ambrosia, bringing little color back to his skin and the cuts on his wrists seemed to become more shallow as Apollo wrapped them. Once Percy was fed and wrapped, everyone except Jason stood and took a step back.

Annabeth took a step forward, only to have her wrist grabbed firmly by Piper and yanked back. "I don't think so." Piper growled.

"I'm just trying to see my boyfriend!" Annabeth exclaimed, ripping her arm free from Piper's grip.

Jason spun around and was in Annabeth's face in an instant. "You are NOT his girlfriend! You don't deserve him! You don't deserve anyone! Jason shoved her shoulders backward, sending her stumbling.

Thalia sneered at Annabeth, stepping in front of her when she tried to charge Jason. "Rot in Tartarus, Annabitch." Thalia growled.

"I didn't do anything!" Annabeth wailed. All the gods in the throne room looked as confused as I, which to say, was very confused.

"You didn't- How do you call rape nothing!? You fucking raped him Annabeth, that's what you did! We promised to never let you near him again, and we're not intent on breaking that promise." Jason growled, stepping protectivey in front of Percy.

Everyone started screaming at once, mostly insults and threats towards Annabeth. "Everyone! Quiet!" Zeus screamed. Everyone immediately quieted down.

"Now, I would like every one of you to describe the story from your prespective, starting when this whole fiasco began." Zeus demanded. "Hazel, you first."

Hazel took a small step forward. "Percy claimed he had a nightmare, which freaked us all out, so in return he offered to take us all out to a bar. Frank, Nico, Will, Annabeth and I didn't drink anything. Thalia was not there, but everyone else had a least one drink. We were about to leave when Annabeth brought Percy near the back of the bar and, according to Nico and Leo, made him breath a chemical that made him able to feel, hear, touch, everything but move, so he was left immobilized while consious. She then somehow got Percy into a back room and... And raped him." Hazel explained. I was shocked to say the least. "Leo spoke up, which didn't make much sense as he was completely drunk, but Nico somehow knew what was happening and panicked, immediately rushing into the room. All I know is Percy was able to move for long enough to run towards our groups in just jeans before the paralysis kicked in again. Jason carried him around, and Nico, Percy and Jason all went to Chiron and explained the situation. Nico locked Annabeth in the room and she just came back today."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "As Jason and Nico, know the most, Nico you go next. What happened? As much detail as possible." Zeus asked, looking purely shocked, as well at the other Olympians.

"As Hazel said, we all went out for drinks, Annabeth paralyzed Percy, brought him to the back and raped him. When I rushed in back, Percy was crying while on the bed while Annabeth... Annabeth raped him. I locked Annabeth in a small closet and freed Percy- He was tied up, despite the fact he couldn't move either way- and got him slightly clothed before he panicked and somehow ran out. I Shut the door behind me as I left and put a stack of metal chairs in front of the door. When I got back, Percy was paralyzed again and crying silently on the floor. This would have traumatized him enough, but when he was younger, his step dad, Gabe Ugliano, used to abuse him. Verbally, physically and sexually, which made the entire situation ten times worse. I highly believe that Annabeth has sent Percy into a stage of depression, anxiety and constant mental self torture." Nico said, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. "Also, Jason and I have been the main caretakers of him, and Jason found something in his bathroom. There was an entire hidden shelf full of medications for things we didn't even know he had, such as PTSD and Anorexia, as well as multiple razor blades." Nico's voice cracked during the last part, and all of the Olympians were dead silent. Percy let out a soft whimper and his face scrunched up, as if he were in pain.

Jason hastiy knelt in front of Percy, tense, like he were expecting something to happen. Like something they've rehearsed. Much to my surprise, Percy let out a small shriek before bolting upright. Tears already spilling down his face, he automatically clung to Jason and cried into his shoulder, while Jason soothed him as best he could. "C'mon Perce, you're alright. No one's going to-" Jason was cut off when Percy looked up, right at Annabeth. He let out a loud sob and scrambled backwards, out of Jason's lap and towards the throne.

"No!" He screeched, his voice cracking. "No no no! G-Get h-h-her a-away!"

Jason sent Annabeth a quick glare before turning back to Percy. "Percy, it's okay, she's not going to hurt you." Jason took a step forward, towards Percy, but Percy just scrambled back more. Zeus' throne was only ten feet behind Percy. "Percy, please!" Jason begged, taking a few more steps.

"G-G-Go!" Percy screamed. Five more feet.

"I need to help you! Please! Just stop moving away!" Jason pleaded. Percy continued to back up until his back was pressed against Zeus' throne. Jason took that as his opportunity to rush forward and grab Percy under the arms, lifting him up like a toddler. Jason immediately hugged Percy close to him, Percy's legs wrapping around Jason's waist and Jason using his hands to support Percy's weight. "It's okay, I won't let her hurt you, don't worry..." Jason whispered, swaying slightly. Percy's cries slowly stopped until he was nearly asleep in Jason's arms.

"Sorry." Percy murmured.

"Don't be, you have no reason." Jason assured him, rubbing his back soothingly.

"Yes, I do."

"What then? What do you have to be sorry for?" Jason asked, sitting down so it looked like Percy was straddling Jason. Leave it up to a god to make everything sound weird.(Writing on the bus again, looking all around me for that kid XD)

"You know why Grace." Percy muttered.

"Refresh my mind, Jackson."

"All the stuff I said in the cabin." Percy muttered. "All of it's true. Everyone would be happier if I'd just die."

"WHAT?!" Half the gods screamed in shock, including me.

"What? It's true. Everyone's just waiting for me to die because they're sick of taking care of me. I'm just an emotional wreck with skin, I'm not worth anything to anyone."

"That's not even, that's not even close! I worry about you because I want you to live, which are aren't going to do very successfully if you keep cutting!" Jason cried out in protest.

"None of us want you to die Percy... We'd probably all go insane without you, you know? And, and we all care about you. We wouldn't help you if we didn't want you to live." Nico assured him.

"And-" Annabeth started, but every one turned towards her and yelled "Shut up!" before she could finish.

She huffed and turned her back to the demigods. "But Percy, you mean more to anyone, to me, than you could imagine." Jason promised, resting his own chin on Percy's shoulder. "Alright?"

Percy hesitated. "Alright." He agreed, and I could see Jason smile.

"Good. Now, how long has it been since you've eaten anything?" Jason asked, leaning away and lightly jabbing Percy in the ribs with his thumb. "Because you're losing weight almost as fast as Nico."

"Why don't you take care of Nico then?" Percy asked.

"He has a boyfriend to force feed him. You, on the other hand, are currently as single as Leo." Jason teased.

"Ouch, I have Calypso thank you very much!" Leo huffed.

"Well, pre-Calypso Leo, at least." Jason admitted.

"I don't know if that's a compliment or not. I'm just going to imagine you were complimenting me." Leo said.

"Works for me. Now, It's been at least two days since you've eaten and you need some food." Jason said, turning his attention back to Percy.

"But I'm not hungry." Percy pouted.

"I will be your Will if you don't eat."

"No thanks, I'm good on being publicly humiliated because my boyfriend won't stop worrying about me." Percy said. Nico shrugged.

"You learn to get used to it."

"Plus, if you were like Will is to Nico, would we be dating? I'm pretty sure we're not dating." Percy added thoughtfully.

Jason laughed lightly. "No, we're not dating."

Percy shrugged. "I mean, we pretty much might as well be the way you're treating me."

Jason raised an eyebrow at Percy. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means," Percy sighed. "You're treating me like a child. Or overprotective boyfriend."

"Like Will and I. Yeah, I see that too." Nico agreed. "You are treating Percy like a boyfriend."

"I'm straight, thank you very much." Jason huffed.

"You sure about that?" Piper asked.

"Uh, yeah I'm pretty sure I know my own sexuality." Jason said, raising both his eyebrows in her direction.

"You never know." She shrugged. "I'm bisexual, and I'm pretty sure most people in this room are either bisexual, or straight up lesbo or gay."

"Oh, wow, thanks. Now I'm questioning myself." Leo said, rolling his eyes. "Next thing you know I'll be flirting with Jason or something. I'm pretty sure I would know if I'm gay."

Piper shrugged again. "That the problem- You don't until you truly experience love."

"You're sounding like your mother. I don't like it. Aphrodite is a scary person." Percy muttered. "She did promise me an interesting love life. I guess I got it."

"Well... Okay, yeah. What about you, Percy? Are you bi, pan, straight, whatever?" Leo asked.

"Bi." Percy mumbled.

"Straight!" Hazel and Frank declared at the same time.

"Single forever, motherfuckers." You can probably guess who said that.

"Not a clue, but I got Calypso so... Yeah." Leo said with a shrug. "Straight, as far as I know."

"I used to think I was bisexual, then my mom told me thinking a girl was pretty didn't mean I liked her." Hazel admitted with a shrug. (I came out to one of my friends and this is her response, 100% exact same XD)

"Now that I think about it... I think I might be bisexual." Jason decides.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Piper snorted.

"Hey, I mean, I find both guys and girls hot, and I remember wanting to kiss some guy back when I was in, what was it, fourth grade?" Jason asked. "Anyway, yeah. Bisexual."

"Yay, we're all one happy LGBT+ group of weirdos." Percy muttered sarcastically.

"Lighten up, it's not like the gods can judge us. I'm pretty sure Apollo had a one-night stand with Justin Bieber, the worst singer of all time, so it's not like he can judge."

"Isn't he, like, Apollo's son? Isn't that, like, really bad incest?" Percy asked. "That's like me having sex with Poseidon. And that's just disgusting."

Everyone shuddered slightly, while us gods kind of just stared in shock at how casual they were acting. Percy almost just died from attempted suicide, did he not? And did they forget we were here?

"Yeah. Gross." Thalia agreed.

"You think all males are gross Thals. You have no say." Percy said, a smirk playing at his lips.

Thalia punched his shoulder. "Not ALL guys. You and my brother are decent... Ish." She smirks at Nico's expression, which is full of mock hurt.

"Ouch. What about Frank and I?" Nico asked, holding a hand to his heart.

"And me!" Leo piped up.

"Hate Leo." Thalia immediately said, making Leo make a pouty expression. "I don't know Frank well, so... Nah. And Nico? I don't care how gay you are, I STILL don't like you. You give off that, you know, 'I act like a badass and will steal your girlfriend or boyfriend if you don't watch them carefully' kind of vibe."

"That is soooo rude. First of all, badass? Really? Black jeans, black converse sneakers, a black shirt and an aviators jacket? People mostly call me emo, which I'm not by the way, I just like black. Second of all, I'm gay, not bisexual, so I would not steal your girlfriend, and I'm perfectly content with dating Will. So, you have no reason to hate me!" Nico exclaimed.

"I still hate you." Thalia deadpanned, picking at her nails.

"Glad to know the feeling's mutual." Nico scoffed.

"You're not emo? I mean, you like the emo bands-"

"Percy, you like the same bands I do." Nico said, interrupting Percy. "The only difference is that I don't like physical contact and wear black. And I'm grumpy most the time."

Percy shrugged. "I'm not emo though."

"Jackson, watch your tongue or I'll cut it out!" Nico threatened.

"Ouch." Percy winced, leaning away from Jason slightly. He stuck his tongue out at poked it with his index finger. "I like my tongue. I wouldn't be able to talk without it."

"Exactly." Nico said, rolling his eyes. "Kind of the point?"

Percy stuck his tongue out at Nico, who reached forward and pretended to grab Percy's outstretched tongue. "I could easily have done it then and there."

"I know, you just love me too much to actually do it." Percy taunted.

"Sure. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself." Nico said, rolling his eyes.

Percy just shrugged his shoulders and set his chin back on Jason's shoulder. "You're really comfy, you know that? You're, like, more comfy than those giant water beds."

"Uh, Thanks..? I think... I'm not sure if being compared to a bed is offensive or not." Jason said.

Percy just laughed. "They're hella comfy. And you're more comfy than them."

"So... Compliment?" Jason asked. Percy laughed again.

"Compliment." Percy confirmed.

"We should do something, it's getting boring." Leo whined.

"I'm just gonna fall asleep if you need me." Percy said, adjusting his position so he was sitting in Jason's lap and facing the same way, the side of his head pressed against Jason's jaw.

"We're already in a circle... We're playing truth or dare! And everyone is playing." Leo exclaimed.

"No..." Percy whined. "Jase, do I have to play?"

Piper and Thalia looked at each other with glints in there eyes. "I've got a better idea." Thalia decided. "I'm not going to play, but spin the bottle."

"Um... I'm good." Percy decided. "I'd rather not kiss someone with a boyfriend or girlfriend."

"Don't worry, it's just for fun! I'm sure they won't care. Now, how are we going to get-"

"I've got us covered!" Leo pulled out a glass beer bottle from his tool belt, interrupting Piper.

"Oh. Well, that's handy." Hazel said with a slight laugh.

"I'm not comfortable with this..." Frank muttered. (The best thing ever, right now I'm typing, eating junk food [LadyNightlight got me out of my weight comfort zone, thank you for that btw] and listening to Panic! At the Disco! Hell yes! [LET'S KILL TONIGHT!])

"You two don't have to play, you can sit off to the side with Thalia." Piper told them. They nodded appreciatively.

"What, they don't have to play but I do!?" Percy whined. "You guys are sooo unfair!"

"Deal with it. Leo, spin." Thalia commanded. Leo shrugged and spun. It landed between Jason/Percy and Piper.

"Why are there only five of us? This isn't fair!" Percy pouted.

"Shut up. Who are you gonna kiss, me, Percy or Jason?" Piper sent a subtle glare in his direction when she said both Percy and Jason's names.

"Erm, you?" He asked. He leaned forward and gave her a quick kiss on the lips before pulling away.

"Erm, Piper, you go." Leo muttered awkwardly.

Piper rolled her eyes and spun, landing on Nico. "Oh hell no-"

To late. Piper grabbed the front of his shirt, yanking him forward and planting a kiss on his lips. Nico shuddered when she pulled away and wiped his mouth repeatedly. "That felt so weird! Kissing girls isn't natural!" He whined, wiping his mouth one last time.

"Now, Nico, you spin." Piper told him, rolling her eyes at his dramatic reaction.

He spun and after a few seconds it stopped on Percy and Jason. "You have to chose one." Piper said, picking at her nails like it was the most natural thing ever.

"Erm... Percy would be way to awkward... Erm... Jason?" Nico asked.

Jason shrugged. "It's a game, no one's gonna judge you."

Nico shrugged and leaned forward, kissing Jason really quick before scrambling away and wiping his mouth. "I miss Will." He pouted.

"You wouldn't be caught dead saying that around him." Percy noted with a scoff.

"Whatever Jackson. Jason, your turn."

Jason unwrapped his hands from around Percy's waist- when did that happen?- and spun. It did a few 360's, landing right on them again. "So... I have to kiss Percy?" Jason asked. Piper smirked.

"Yes!"

Piper and Thalia high fived behind there backs so that no one else noticed. But I did. What were they planning? "Oh. Well, I guess we're like the second time Nico saw Will, then." Percy said, smirking slightly.

Jason smirked back. "I guess so."

Nico made a choking noise, like a cat being strangled. "How did you-!?" He exclaimed, his entire face going red.

"Trust me." Jason said.

"Solangelo is our OTP." They finished in synch.

"Just kiss you morons!" Thalia shouted.

"Ugh, fine." Percy turned so he was facing Jason, still in his lap. They kind of stared at each other for a little bit before both leaning in at the same time.

There lips met, and unlike the others, they didn't pull away instantly. In fact, they both seemed to be enjoying the kiss, much to my surprise. Jason's arm wrapped around Percy's waist and pulled him closer while Percy's arms wrapped around Jason's neck tugging his face closer to his. I look over at Zeus with wide eyes and an ajar mouth. He looked the exact same. All the gods looked shocked, actually. Except Apollo, who was smirking, Artemis, who looked exasperated, and Aphrodite, who was staring with starry eyes.

When they pulled away, their chests were heaving up and down and they had bright red faces. Percy hid his face in Jason's chest, still breathing heavily. "Did that just-?"

"I... I think so..." Jason agreed, resting his chin on top of Percy's head and closing his eyes. A faint smile played at his lips.

Piper and Thalia burst at the exact same time. "OMG FINALLY I SHIP IT SO BAD!" They both squealed, jumping up and bouncing up and down while holding each other's hands while smiling and laughing brightly. "JERCY IS FINALLY REAL!" They both screamed at once.

Both Jason and Percy looked over at them with 'really' expressions on there faces.

"Wait, is that why you broke up with me? Because you wanted me to date Percy?" Jason asked.

"Uh, DUH! We've been plotting on how to get you two together for months!" Piper exclaimed.

"I... I'm confused." Nico said, looking between Thalia, Piper, Percy and Jason with confusion.

"I don't... I don't know what just happened..." Leo muttered with wide eyes.

"Well, that was... Eventful." Zeus said, clearing his throat. All of the demigods jumped up and whirled towards him at once with wide eyes.

"Holy shit we're still on Olympus." Percy said.

"I forgot we were even up here!" Nico exclaimed, slapping his forehead.

"Me too!" Leo groaned. "Well. Hi, gods who are probably very confused by our ways of entertaining ourselves!"

"It's... It's not usually that weird." Percy muttered, his face bright red.

"Well, I'm quite happy with it." Jason said, resting his chin on the top of Percy's head and wrapping his arms around his waist.

"We're happy too!" Piper and Thalia sang.

"Aaaannnddd Nico and I are confused." Leo said with a sigh. Nico looked over at him.

"Never say the words 'Nico and I' again or I will be forced to murder you." Nico said.

Leo shook his head. "You're weird."

"You're weird!" Nico shot back.

"We're all fucking weird!" Percy shouted.

"No, we're all fucking insane." Thalia corrected, making all of them burst into laughter, even Nico. Once they didn't stop, Hephaestus, Hades, Zeus, and I locked eyes.

We have some fucked up kids.

(So some of you seemed confused at the outrageous craziness of this chapter, and I asked the original author, FallDown5, why they acted so crazy, and she said that it's because after you're down for a while you can randomly release large amounts of serotonin once slightly happy, leading to moments of extreme giddyness and hyperactive tendencies, so the recent events mixed with a happy thing kinda just... Poof? She worded it better but oh well XD)
