I made it to the coffee shop in fifteen minutes--well, fourteen. Percy hadn't arrived yet, so I sat down and ordered a small tea.

I waited for ten minutes and decided maybe he got lost. But how? This place is like five minutes from his house. I waited another five minutes before I texted him.

Me: almost here?

I waited. No reply.

Me: everything ok, babe?

No reply.

Me: Percy?

Me: Perseus?

Me: Reply, Jackson!

I growled and slipped my phone in my pocket, standing to leave. But then, I brought my phone out. I called Sally.

She picked up immediately and I almost shouted, "Is everything okay?"

I made my way outside the shop.

"No, Percy is in the hospital. His heart was acting up again."

I nearly threw up.

"I'm on my way."

Sorry it was short and crappy! More to come!
