Percy's POV
"Hey Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth came and sat next to me on the beach. It has been a year since our kiss under Mount Saint Helens and neither of us has said a word about it and this is the summer that the great prophecy is supposed to happen. I don't want to be so distant from her during my final days. I want to tell her the truth. I don't want to keep any secrets. I am going to tell her how I truly feel about her.
"Hey Wise Girl, whats up?"
"Not much, I've just been thinking about, well you know…"
"The prophecy?" I asked. Why was she thinking about the great prophecy? That should be what I am worrying about, not her.
"Yeah, Percy I'm scared. I –I don't want to lose you; you're my best friend. I honestly don't know what I would do without you." I could see that she was trying to hold back tears. I felt horrible for putting her through this even though it wasn't really my fault.
"Annabeth everything will be ok" that was probably a lie. "Wise Girl I –I want to tell you something" this was it I was finally going to tell her that I want to be more than friends."
"What is it" a worried look spread across her face.
"Well I just want to let you know that ever since I looked into your stormy gray eyes when we were twelve years old I knew that I loved you" I felt my face heating up. "I understand if you don't fee…" I soon felt Annabeth's warm lips against mine. I felt my brain melt through my body and it was pretty much the best feeling ever. I wish we could have stayed that way forever but sadly we were still half mortal so we still had to breath. "So…. Does this mean that you like me too?" I said with a hopeful smile.
"No Percy I don't like you"
"Oh" I tried my best to hide my heartbreak but I don't think that she bought it.
"I love you" a wide grin was plastered against her face and once again I felt my face heat up.
"I love you too Wise Girl" and with that she wrapped her arms around my neck and I put mine around her waste and we kissed like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't tell you how long we were on the beach kissing because it seemed like forever. Annabeth Chase was finally mince and no one could ever take her away from me because we will be together for a very, very long time.
