My Girls (Part Two)

"My lying dad! My lousy excuse for dad who just sits here on the couch all day!"

"You know I've been trying to get a job!"

"What happened to that interview dinner you were supposed to have last week? Huh?"

"I was here watching your sister and cousins because you didn't come home! I was waiting for you to come watch the kids so I could go!"

"You make it sound like it's my fault!"

"Listen to me Thalia. This isn't going to work anymore! From now on you will do as I say and you will be home on time!"

"Oh stop trying to act like you're my father!" Thalia shouted.

"I am your father!" Luke yelled back.

"No you're not! We're not even related! I don't give a shit if you adopted me, cause really? In my life? You're nothing! You mean shit to me!"

Luke's mouth opened and closed soundlessly as Thalia smirked triumphantly. "And you know what dad? I feel like staying over a friend's house."

Luke only stared open mouthed as Thalia marched out the door slamming it behind her. Luke slowly sat back down on the couch and put his head in his hands.

"Dad?" Annabeth asked quietly sitting up.

"Go to bed Annabeth," he whispered.

"But Daddy..."

"I said go to bed!" Luke shouted.

Annabeth stared at him for a moment unsure of how to respond when banging sounded on the door. Annabeth hurried to it hoping to see her sister behind it. But when she opened the door, it was their landlord.

"Mr. Castellan?" The man asked angrily.

Luke slowly looked up and groaned at the sight of him, even so he stood and moved to the door. "I'm sorry for the noise. It won't happen again, Mr. Kronos."

"You're right it won't. Cause you're out of here!"

"E-excuse me?"

"You're behind on three payments! And you wake up the entire building every morning before four am! Am I just supposed to let you stay?"

"Yes!" Annabeth nodded quickly.

"Please sir! You know I-"

"I don't give a shit that your own father fired you! Get out right now! You can come pick up your stuff this afternoon. But if you're not gone in the next three minutes I'm calling the cops."

Luke bit his tongue to keep from yelling. Instead he turned and grabbed his coat and started to pull on his shoes. "Annabeth grab my wallet, keys, and phone from my room."

"It's not your room anymore," Mr. Kronos muttered.

Annabeth's eyes widened but she nodded nonetheless and hurried out of the room. Luke now with his shoes on began to pull on his coat. "Please Mr.-"

"No."

Annabeth ran back into the room a few minutes later with a small backpack on her back and the items Luke requested in her hands. Luke took them and shoved them in his pockets as Annabeth pulled on her coat and shoes.
