WHY CANT SHE UNDERSTAND?

PERCY'S POV.

" Go ahead and answer it. I'm sure it's important."

Phoebe urged, moving away from me and begin putting on her clothes. Reluctantly I pressed the accept bottom and placed the phone against my ear.

"Seriously Percy three days? You promise our daughter to be back before she goes to bed and it's been three days? No call, nothing?"

Vera's voice came through and I shut my eyes tight.

" Sorry...I had things to take care of."

"Things so important that you stood your own daughter up?"

"Look my wife isn't feeling well okay! I had to be here for her! I said I'm sorry!"

My patience was seriously thining out. Why can't she understand?

" Well your daughter is not feeling well too and you need to be down here immedietly. "

"What ? How? I...I can't come today.. maybe tomorrow.."

I couldn't help but peek at Phoebe. Damnit!

" It's alright..you can go."

She told me but I shook my head.

" I can't leave you.. " I began but she interrupted.
