The babysitter

Fourteen

Dick is OOC so sorry about that but I want to speed this book up a bit more

" Uhg." I groan as I wake up. My head is pounding and the ringing from a phone didn't help. Fishing around in my pocket, I bring out my flip phone. " Who the hell is calling this early."

" Shut up!" Leo called from the other side of the room. There were more groans around the room as the demigods wake up.

" It's two in the afternoon?" Dick questions.

" Sorry." I groaned.

" You sound terrible, had a rough night?" Dick laughed.

Sitting down on a cot, I give a small laugh, " Nothing I can tell you, Mr. Officer."

" So, um, you okay?" Dick asks quietly.

" Um," I glance around at the demigods around me. Leo didn't have a shirt and was covered in pen and marker. Piper and Thalia were passed out on the floor while Annabeth, Hazel and Frank were on cots. Nico was leaning on me, clutching my arm, " I think I will be."

" Would it be too much to ask what happened?" Dick asked softly.

" Um, one of my cousins passed away."  I smiled softly. " But, uh, thanks for checking in on me."

" Of course. I would have called earlier but I decided to give you some space."

" Oh, yeah, thanks for that. But I should probably get off before I or someone else throws up." That wasn't the real reason, it was true, but I couldn't be on a call for long.

" Percy!!" Leo whined.

" Shut up, dumb ass!" Thalia screamed making everyone groan and complain besides Hazel and Frank.

I took the phone off my mouth, " Leo, what do you need?"

" I need you to shut up!" Thalia commanded and tried to use Piper's arm as a muffler.

" Thailia, be quiet." I rolled my eyes.

" I'm gonna puke!" Leo sat up.

" Oh, gods, Dick, I'll get back to you." I close my phone without waiting for a reply and threw it on the bed. Carefully get out of Nico's grasp, I bolted to Leo. I gently pull on his arm and lead him to the bathroom. He started gagging as he knelt before the toilet. I winced as he starts throwing up. I rubbed his back as I stared at the wall behind Leo.

" Percy! Ima-I'm gonna-" Piper started gagging.

" Oh, gods." I groaned.

Three hours later, we were all sitting at the diner table. Everyone besides the two romans had sunglasses and hats while they ate pancakes and Mac and cheese.

Thailia stuffed her face, " I thought coffee was supposed to help."

" How much did you guys drink?" I asked.

" We had the same amount." Piper put a hand over her eyes to shield the sun more then her sunglasses.

" Yeah, I guess I just have a higher tolerance." I shrugged.

" How? Non of us are legal." Leo had his eyes closed and his hat pulled all the way down.

" Oh, yeah, perks of having an alcoholic as a step father I guess." I smile, trying to put a happier tone on it.

" Paul?" Piper asked.

" No, the one before." I gave a simple answer.

" So do you remember anything that happened last night?" Piper eyed me.
