Why is love... So complicated? Why, if we were in a fairy tale, I would be... I would be... Evil. I Rachel Elizabeth Dare, was facing major heart break. You know when someone dies? Thats what the feeling feels like to me. This burning sensation in the pit of my stomach. I lost this battle. This battle between Annabeth and I. I was jealous a little, I guess. But now... Now I'm so empty. I remembered the scene that passed by a couple of minutes ago, Percabeth. Fresh tears sprung from my eyes. My decision hurt, but it was to be done. More tears came, like a hurricane. Like Percy. Wretched sobs came from deep inside my soul where the pain was being built. I could only call out Percy, in hope my love would reach him, but that love was very fatal to him, I knew. I will never get my Prince Charming. Oh well, there goes that dream. But it's hard to throw out a dream, it really is. Was this the right decision? Yes it was, but it hurt.

Fog drifted around in the midnight sky. This was the perfect time to clear my mind. I walked to the lake, dipping my feet in, thinking of Percy.

"Rachel" I knew this voice, I turned to see startling sea green eyes, the eyes that I loved. The burning in my stomach got stronger. I could only feel regret, but hope for him to love me.

"Percy," I whispered. My voice was hoarse, it was so painful to speak, but I needed him right now, needed for him to tell me everything was going to be alright.

"May I join you?" I rolled my eyes, kelp head. Percy sat beside me, brushing his hand along my calf.

"Why did you choose her?" I whispered softly. Percy smiled clenching my hands tightly.

"Because I love her more then anything," Percy whispered lovingly in my ear. A tear streaked my face.

"I knew that, but it still hurts," I murmured silently. Percy eyes filled with tears.

"It hurt for me to let you go," Percy croaked. I burst into tears.

"I know," I sobbed burying my face in the crook of his neck. Percy then pulled away to stare at me seriously.

"I will always love you Rachel, just not the same way as Annabeth" I cried even harder.

"I know," I muttered through tears, "I will always love you to"

Then Percy and I shared a small kiss, it was magical for me. I stared into his sea green eyes for a second. Then Percy dove into the water. I knew I lost Percy, he will never be mine.

Then I realized something, the burning in my stomach was gone.

Hey guys. I love Percabeth, but I am sick of people making Rachel the bad guy, so here. REVIEW!
