hey guys! this is my second submission in my 12 days of ficmas series, and it's also my first strictly percabeth fanfiction! i'm a pretty big percabeth fan myself, so i figured these two deserved some angst. i also figured i'd toss some songfics into the mix around here since it's been about a year since i wrote my last one. i hope you enjoy.

- I Don't Love You, My Chemical Romance
Annabeth couldn't believe her eyes.
She'd walked into Percy's cabin, ready to tell him about a dream that she'd just had. The camp was being attacked, and any demigod knew that meant trouble. But when she got there, he was laying in his bed with Rachel. They were still asleep, and Percy looked happier than Annabeth had seen him in months.
When she first stumbled upon the scene, Annabeth tried to rationalize the situation. Maybe Rachel had a nightmare and sought comfort from her only friend at camp. But as Annabeth got closer, she saw Percy's arm wrapped around Rachel's waist under the blanket. Her worst fears had come true. Percy had been with another girl.
If that didn't make things worse, Percy and Rachel woke up right when Annabeth was leaving. His happy face faded as soon as he saw her.
"Good morning, Annabeth," said Rachel. A malicious smile was on her face. "I hope you had a great night because we sure did."
"You're disgusting," Annabeth growled. "Both of you." She whirled around and ran outside before they could see her cry.
She thought she heard Percy yelling after her, but she wasn't focused on that. The hot tears poured down her cheeks, and the blood was pounding in her ears. Why wasn't she enough for him? After everything they'd been through, how could he treat her like this?
She vowed that she'd never make such a stupid mistake again.
