Camp Half-Blood

Percy had just came back from a mission that Athena wanted him to do to marry Annabeth, he was so excited that he had finally gained the approval of the Goddess.

Percy ran past Thalia's pine tree and saw Chiron in his centaur form sitting at the big house.

He shouted to get Chiron's attention "Hey Chiron, have you seen Annabeth?"

Chiron turned around and when he saw Percy his eye's widened and he looked nervous."Ummm...Percy, it seems that you have finished your mission from Athena."He said."Yeah, have you seen Annabeth?"

Chiron looked even more nervous."You'll find her at the beach, I need to go to train the other heros that need me Percy." And he quickly galloped away.

Percy was confused,why was Chiron looking so nervous but shrugged it off, and went to the beach to find Annabeth.

As he got to the beach, he saw a couple sitting at the shore and kissing,one of them is a blonde."No, please don't let it be what I think of..."he hoped, but his heart dropped when heheard Annneth's voise clearly" Oh Daniel, your such a good kisser, I can't believe that I dated Percy when I can have you!"she remarked."Yeah, he's sure dumb to think that you will love love him."he replied.

Percy's hands were clenched so hard that his hand lost it's feeling.

"Yeah,don't he know that I'm just using him for fame, he's such a seaweeds brain."she laughed,At this point Percy can't stand it anymore, he walked out into their view, they were surprised at first but they soon regained their composure and smiled maliciously."Hey seaweed brain,how are you doing?"Annabeth asked smirking.

"Why,Annabeth,why did you do this?"she laughed.

"Because I don't love you, get that through that thick head of yours,I HAVE NEVER LOVED YOU!"Percy felt his heart shatter at the harsh words,he felt tears running down his cheeks. He had fought hard to gain Athena's approval, but it was done for nothing.

He reached into his jacket and pulled out a ring."Guess I don't need this anymore." He spat, and threw the ring into the ocean and turned around and left,Annabeth's words still ringing in his head

He walked quickly hoping that he won't run into anyone and reached Thalia's tree and stroked the trunk for a few times before whistled for a taxi.

"Where to?The driver asked gruffly."The Empire's State Building."Percy said."I need to talk to some people."
