I walked into her apartment.
I wanted to walk right out and just pretend it was a dream.
"Annabeth… What is this?" I asked, pointing to all the boxes strewed across her home.
"We're moving Percy." She whispered, but kept packing her items.
"What about you? You have to stay near New York." I told her desperately.
"No, Percy, I don't. I'm… We're moving to Italy."
"Annabeth, no. Annabeth, you can't- you can't do this to me. You promised me you would stay with me. Don't you remember? After we watched Dear John together. You're promised me you would stay with me forever, Annabeth." I whispered, trying to pretend that Annabeth was only kidding.
"Percy, I can't stay. I never could stay. I need to go." She sighed, putting her head down into her work.
I walked towards her.
I started to unpack the box.
"You're not leaving Annabeth, I won't let you."
"I am, Percy. You can't do anything about it." She mumbled, trying to fight away the tears. I could see it in her fragile eyes.
"Annabeth, you're staying. You have to!" I started shouting.
She didn't pay attention. She just kept packing.
"So, you broke your promise Annabeth. What happened to that? I thought we were forever. Why would you lie like that?"
She still didn't answer.
I started unpacking the box.
She didn't even look at me.
"Percy, get out of my house."
"Your house?" I yelled.
"Yes, it's my house, Percy!"
She stood up.
"Since when did you decide to leave me?" I shrieked.
"A year ago, and I couldn't wait." She screamed at me.
"REALLY, ANNABETH? BECAUSE YOU SEEMED TO LOVE ME THEN!"
"Well I didn't Percy! I never did!" She screeched, walking closer to me so we could be face to face.
"I NEVER LOVED YOU EITHER!"
Then I did something I never thought I would do.
I hit her.
