Disclaimer: I do not own PJO, dispite my best efforts. Maybe some day I will own the rights to a book, hopefully mine... oh what? Sorry. On with the story! Annabeth's POV
Chapter 1
There he was. The man I love. Kissing another girl. Why me? I came here because we hadn't seen each other for about a week and he betrays me like this? I stared for all of ten seconds and left, but not before Percy saw me.
"Annabeth." He said shocked to see me there.
I turned around and ran full speed down the stairs. I came out from his apartment building and it was raining from the gloomy day. I stopped for only a few seconds, enough for him to catch up with me.
"Annabeth! Wait!"
I turned around, anger overwhelming me. "Percy! Leave me alone! We're not the same as we were! I'm not the same girl as I was, and apparently you're not the same guy! So just leave me the heck alone!"
"I love you, Annabeth!" He shouted over the pouring rain.
"Yeah? I thought so too! But, if so, then what was that up there?" I said as he walked right into his death.
"I don't know! She said she wanted to talk and attacked me! I swear it happened literally two seconds before you came in! Trust me!" He pleaded with me.
"Why should I? I didn't seem like you were fighting real hard to get her off of you!" I screamed attracting attention around the city of New York.
"I swear I wasn't trying to kiss her back!" He still tried to plead with me.
"Oh, you weren't trying to kiss her back, but you still did, that makes it so much better," I said sarcastically, "We're over." Then I walked away in the pouring rain, hoping nobody could tell I was crying, because I was soaking. What happened to me? I once told myself that I would never cry about a guy. I could tell that I was begining to change, all because I fell for a stupid guy.
I was in my room thinking of that night that happened a year ago. I was now seventeen, and was over Percy Jackson.
At lease I hoped so…. I seemed like I was. It didn't hurt as much when I think about it. It still does hurt, though, and it was hard to not think about him when he is constantly e-mailing me and calling me. He is always trying to apologize, but he never gets the chance because I ignore them all. Mostly. I have picked up a few times, and sometimes I read the e-mails that he sends me, but I never replied to them. The more that I ignored them, the more they came… story of my life.
I checked my e-mail. A new message from Percy, what a surprise.
Hey Annabeth, you probably won't replay, but I was wondering if you were coming to camp. Love you, Percy.
Was I going to camp? Yes I was. It would be the first time in a year that I would be facing that cheating, lying, jerk. I wanted to go back to camp so much, but then I remember that Percy will be there. Ugh.
I would be leaving on the plane to New York tonight, and I would be at camp tomorrow morning.
I started to read one of my architecture books, and before I knew it, my dad was calling be down to go to the airport.
"Are you all packed up?" He asked.
"Yeah, let's go." I told him.
The plane ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Nobody bothered me, so that counts as good as it can get. The taxi wasn't that bad either, he didn't even complain about driving so far.
I paid the taxi driver and got out to look at the familiar hill. At the top I saw the dragon guarding the Golden Fleece.
I walked up the hill with little or no struggles, and put my bag on an empty bunk in my cabin.
I started to walk to the beach where I had seen some of my friends, but before I got there, I heard the voice I have been avoiding say behind me, "Annabeth!"
Darn.
A/N: I just love cliffhangers! I hope you liked the first chapter! Let me know if some of the characters are OOC, I am trying to make them in character, but, because of the break-up, Annabeth is a little different. Let me know…
Anyway please review, because I won't write as quickly if I don't think people are reading…. A smiley face will do! Or frown, depending if you are a flamer or not… Well, sorry for the long authors note –Lissa.
