I'm No Cinderella

Pic of Percabeth. Hint hint!
Percy drove the twins and I home after we finished our conversation. I liked talking to Percy. He was someone I could relate to on a personal level. I felt comfortable around him and I haven't felt that in a long time. I unlocked my front door and waved to Percy before he drove off. The boys ran inside the house. I grabbed the mail from the mail box.

I'll have to call Piper and tell her about what happened later. For some reason, I didn't feel comfortable talking to Thalia anymore about Percy. My feelings were deep and true, and it wasn't a small thing. If I can't share that with my friend, then that's a big problem.

I walked inside and dropped the mail on the kitchen counter. I was headed straight for my bedroom when I noticed something different. There was a briefcase on the sofa. Wait that was...

"Rawr!" I heard someone scream behind me. I screeched and flipped around with my fist ready to hit something.

I relaxed when I recognized the figure. He had salt and pepper hair, brawn eyes, a a warm smile. His spectacles were rounded in a Harry Potter style. His tie was loosened around his neck and he had his shoes off.

"Dad!" I catapulted onto my father. He had come back from the longest business trip he had ever been on. It was getting close to a month.

"Hey Annie," he said, embracing me back.

"Dad?" Matt and Bobby questioned from the front door. Helen approached us all from the kitchen, surprisingly smiling.

"Daddy!" Bobby launched himself onto our dad's back. I pulled back from our hug so Bobby and Matt could hack at him. Dad caught him expertly and held onto his legs while Matt wrapped his arms around his waist.

"You said you weren't coming back until Monday!" I said.

"The trip ended quicker. The college had a flooding in some of the classrooms. Seniors go way to far for their pranks." I laughed. My school hasn't completed our school prank yet. Usually the popular kids plan it and send texts to the whole class.

"Well, That's beneficial for us." Helen said. I nodded in agreement with her for once.

"Yup!" Bobby said.

"Alright my boy, I'm not getting any younger so I'm going to have to put you down." Dad put Bobby down. He was pushing into his fifties. I guess his bones were getting weaker already.

"I'm going to make us all dinner!" Helen whisked away into the kitchen. I've never seen her cook often. Now I'm expecting to die once I eat it. I made a mental note sniff my food first. What am I talking about? I doubt Helen would attempt to kill me. I wonder if she's thought about it. Then, she'll have her perfect family.

"Thank-you honey," Dad called out to her. 'Thank-you honey'. She's so...fake! Its usually around my dad she acts like the perfect wife. I never told him though. Helen was my dads first relationship after mom died. I don't want to take another person from him. The first one was already my fault.

Helen makes my dad happy. I don't even understand how, I mean maybe she's wild in the bedroom for all I know. But, whatever it is, I'm glad its working. She takes his mind off of my mom. 3%. That's the only ample of respect I have for her because of how she's taking care of my dad. Maybe I should boost it up to like 7%, She did burst out awesome twins from her vagina, I'd give props to anyone who could do that.

Dad and I sat down on the couch Bobby and Matt sat in between us.

"So, what's going on in my children's life?" He asked.

"We went for ice cream today!" Bobby said. I smiled as he spoke like today was the best day of his life. I mean, it was just Cold Stone. He didn't win a million dollars.
