———annabeth's POV

Apparently I have to stay at the hospital for two more days so they can "make sure I'm okay".

Today is Monday, and its already been four days. I think.

Anyway, Percy went home yesterday and isn't coming back today because he has school and swim and something else. I'm not really sure.

So that leaves me staring at this wall until my brain explodes.

Okay that's not working.

I'm already bored of the wall.

It's just plain white.

Maybe I can stare at the ceiling.

Yeah.

Totally.

*sigh*

Okay Annabeth.

Lets play a game.

Yes I'm talking to myself.

WHO AM I KIDDING

THIS IS HORRIBLE.

Later——-

The doctor walks in.

"Lunch." he says.

Lunchtime. yay. so happy here.

"Ugh do I have to eat?" I say.

"Yes! here." he puts a tray with a giant pile of hospital slop on it.

I make a weird face. in disgust. That makes so much sense. yes it does.

I pretend to eat for a few minutes until he FINALLY leaves, and then chuck it in the trash can.

A few minutes later, my phone rings.

I should answer it, right?

One problem.

It's all the way across the room.

And I'm here.

In a hospital bed.

With tubes in my arm.

And a broken leg.

I narrow my eyes at the phone.

Taunting me.

I try to make the bed roll by moving around a bunch.

Fail.

I try to reach out and grab it.

Fail.

I try screaming at it.

Fail.

I try to get the tubes out so I can go over there.

Ultimate fail.

So basically, I just press the button for the nurses to come.

They run in like I'm dying or something, so they look really confused when I'm just sitting there calmly. Yet that would make sense, since the button is only supposed to be pressed if you are dying, so I'm an idiot. It's probably all this medicine they have me on.

"Hey can one of you give me my phone?"

They glare at me.

"Please?"

A nurse with brown hair walks over and hands it to me.

"Here you go, sweetie." She says.

"Thanks."

By now it stopped ringing.

After all of the people leave, I see that Percy called me. I'm surprised I still have him as a contact on my phone.

I call him back. Wow I'm so unpredictable. Also really mad at the doctors for putting me on this medicine.

He answered immediately.

"Hey Anna, you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, my phone was across the room so it took a while to get it."

"Oh okay, cool."

"So why'd you call?"

"I just wanted to check if you were okay, and I'm coming by after school."

"Awesome." Why? This is so weird, we hate eachother.

"Oh and I can bring you home tomorrow if you want."

"Yeah sure."

"Okay see ya later wise girl!"

"Bye seaweed brain."

I hung up after that.
