Hey guys! Its my first fanfic ever so...don't judge harshly please! I have been so inspired by all you writers I just had to join and make a story of my own! (: NO EXTREMLEY HARSH CRITIZICISM por favor! Flames that are helpful=acceptable. Read and review!

Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own PJO...oh how I wish I could...*dreaming*...

Annabeth's POV:

Why does this always happen to me? It seems that every time I get into anything it always ends up pulling me out. Its been 5 years since...him. And you would think a normal person would forget about a high school boyfriend that she had 5 years ago. But, I'm not a normal person, for the gods sake I'm a demigod-definitely NOT normal.

Yet here I am moving back to...Percy's...hometown, Manhattan. It just hurt to say his name. I had been living with my father (I know real grown up, right?) and something was just drawing me back to New York. But, I don't think it was just Percy.

Its just something about this place that makes me feel at home. Maybe its how my mother lives at the 600th floor of the Empire State Building, or the fact that I have finally finished, over 5 years, my plans for Olympus. I know, 5 years is a lot of time but perfection takes time, and the gods don't take less than perfection.

My dad and I had found me a temporary apartment for now, and it wasn't the cheapest either. But he and I both knew I could find a job here, after all I was a daughter of Athena.

I put all of my belongings in my car (I didn't have that much) and drove to my apartment. On the way, I saw Percy's moms building and I wondered to myself if they still lived there. But he wasn't lame like me and lived with his mom.

Gods, why did I always think about him? Well, since I've been babbling about him so much, I should probably tell you what really happened 5 years ago that I remember so clearly. But, I was the one who ruined our relationship, and the only thing I regret in my life is our break up.

Percy and I were at Montauk, laying on the same blanket, with the same towels, wearing the same bathing suits we always wore, yet Percy had a smile on and I didn't.

I didn't know how to tell him. I couldn't find the words in me. If I spoke it would most likely sound like Spanish-which I knew actually.

Percy intertwined his fingers through mine, but I didn't intertwine mine back. I thought since he was a Seaweed Brain he wouldn't notice, but since this was our daily routine, he did.

"Something wrong, Wise Girl?" he asked me with a concerned look on his face, and how could I say no to those handsome green eyes?

I finally uttered, "No, just tired I guess," but he knew me and turned to face me which was going to make this so much harder.

"Seriously Annabeth, tell me what's going on." Gods, why was he being so alluring?

"Percy, you know how we are going to different colleges and all, and I will be moving back with my parents?" I said. Real cool how I'm living with my parents and brothers huh? Not.

"Yeah..." he said not sure where I was leading with this. Gods, he was such a Seaweed Brain, but if he wasn't it would be a whole lot easier to tell him.

I looked out at the ocean and thought of all the memories we had shared over the past 2 years. Like when we would take our weekend stroll in Central Park (monsters rarely ever bothered us now), how he would teach me everyday a new thing about fish, and when he taught me to ride horses, not pegusi. We shared so many laughs, tears, smiles, and kisses, I could barley bare this moment.

"Its just that I don't think its going to work out long distance, Percy. I will just be so busy there is no time for phone calls or even Iris messages. I leave tomorrow and I've made up my mind. Obviously, if you travel with me Zeus will blast you out of the sky. I'm so sorry Percy, I will never forget you. Goodbye." I choked out the last words, kissed him one last time, and ran off to my car.

But, as I looked back (I knew I shouldn't have) Percy's beautiful face was crumpled in pain and I could have sworn a tear ran down his cheek....

Gods! Here I am parked in my car with tears on my cheeks...wait what? Why was I crying? I have moved on and only wanted friendship now, right? I assured myself that even though it hurt, I only wanted friendship.

Wait why was I thinking I would see him again? I haven't talked to him in 5 years. I deleted his number because it hurt to much to receive texts from him. I never read them. So once I deleted it, it made it look like it was from a random stranger. But, since I wasn't replying, they finally stopped.

I was trying to pull myself together when a hobo knocked on my window asking for money. I shooed him away, to caught up in my own problems.

Once all of my stuff was unloaded and rearranged I tried to remember my way around Manhattan. The only place I remembered was a little coffee shop that was underground (in a basement) that Percy would take me to.

I know that there was a TON of other restaurants in Manhattan, but it seemed as if my heart was driving not my feet. I, for one, hated coffee, but they had the best peach tea ever. I only drink tea because it is better for you.

After a half hour of trying to find a parking spot, I walked down to the little shop. A small jazz band was playing their music on the stage.

I ordered a peach tea and grabbed the newspaper to read the new happenings of the world, even though they are usually bogus.

Then the door opened and a tall muscular man walked in and when I saw his eyes they were sea green...and our eyes locked...
