Why Me?(Third book of Call me Omega)

Chapter 99

Percy's POV

"So."

I was frozen in front of my friends.

"No alliance?"

".... A truce. We'll be able to come and go easily, but nothing during wars."

They were silent. I looked down.

"... I'm sorry."

Jason sighed. "Percy, I get how you felt, but this was based too much on emotion. We need this alliance."

His words seemed blurry to me in my mind. I was wondering how I could be so stupid.

"... It's alright. We understand." Piper said softly."

I rubbed my face. "I was an idiot."

Nobody said anything. I hated the silence. I knew what they were saying inside.

Useless idiot.

I swallowed hard. I shouldn't of gone to the camp. Then...

Annabeth.

She grabbed my hand. "It'll be all right Percy. We can go back and-"

"No." I blurted. I sighed. "I'll go alone, and get this mess cleaned up."

"Percy. It's dangerous there. And I don't think that you're in the state to go there."

"Luke's right." Zoe agreed. "We can finish this later."

I rubbed my face. "And when is that later?"

Every fell silent. I knew they didn't want to remember this. I didn't want to either.

"Look. I don't have much time. I want to finish what I started."

Leo swallowed hard. "Percy, we get-"

"You must be crazy."

Victor glared up at me. His cold blue gaze made me want to crawl into a hole and die.

"Idiot."

His tone reminded me of Lupa. Cold, steely, and void of emotion.

Idiot.

The word rung in my head. But it was better than silence.

"The contract."

Annabeth's voice snapped me out of my trance.

"Percy, the contract. Reyna signed it. If you just take back what you said, it'll be fine. Reyna would still have the contract."

Leo grinned. "Thats great!! We can get over it with an IM!"

Jason nodded slowly. "That'll work."

"You're a genius Annabeth."

Annabeth tugged on my sleeve. "Come on. Let's make an IM."

It wasn't the word that was ringing in my head.

It was the whole world.

I wasn't sure how I was feeling. Somewhat.... Odd. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move at all.

"Percy?"

I could move now. I looked down at Annabeth.

"Yeah. Lets go."

"It went well?"

"It got ripped."

"What did."
