Annabeth's POV
"Percy, listen to me!" I said "I can't just leave Luke alone. He's my friend since I got here in camp with Thalia. I love you Percy but-"
"But what?" he glared at me "You can't leave him? You're choosing him over me Annabeth. If you really love me, choose me!"
"I…can't. We've been together for at least 9 years and I just can't turn my back on him. If you're really my friend, you understand how I feel" I said between my sobs
"So, you're saying you're choosing Luke?" he asked with an angry face
"Percy I-"
"Fine! You chose him and I have no right to get over with your decisions. I know my limits and I think it's better if we stay away from each other. I need some space to think over. I'm sorry Annabeth and…. Farewell"
With that, he ran on the beach and disappeared. I knelt down with my knees and started crying what have I done. I lost my bestfriend. I am so stupid! I will not forgive myself if Percy would not treat me a friend no more. I put my palms on my face and sobbed uncontrollably. I got off with my feet and ran towards my cabin
"Annabeth, are you okay?" one of my cabin mates asked
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm okay. Just some personal problems" I said with a fake smile
"No offense, but you look horrible and pale. You need some rest" she replied
I nodded and headed towards my bed. I lay down my bed and close my eyes. Tears form in my eyes and one by one, they drop. I tried to calm myself down, but I can't! I can't lose Percy, my only best friend who always been there whenever I'm alone.
I felt my eyes getting heavy. Then I sooner realized that is was already sleeping
I woke up in the morning and thought that all that have happened last night was just a bad dream. But it wasn't. My eyes are puffy and red. I decided not to cry right now. No need to think things over and over again. It just makes things worse.
I went outside to get some breakfast. I sat with my cabin mates. I just stayed there staring at my food, wondering what will I do with it.
"Are you going to eat that or not" a familiar voice said
I looked up and saw Grover grinning at me
"I don't know. I just lost my appetite" I replied
"Hey, you know about the news?" he asked
"News about what?" I asked curiously
"About Percy" he replied
"What about him?" I asked, trying to sound like I didn't care
"He just left last night." He replied
"Really? Where did he go?" I asked
"in his father's palace, of course" he replied
"You mean, underwater?" I asked
He rolled his eyes "of course! Do you have plans in going there?" He asked
"No, of course I don't have any plans. Why would I? I asked with crossed arms
He just raised an eyebrow and grinned "Well, I don't know. Maybe because you can't stand living without him"
I heard Juniper calling Grover's name
"Well, Annabeth, I better go now. Juniper is waiting for me" He said
I nodded and watched him running giving Juniper a big hug.
Percy left me without a sign, without a word and without a note. I feel like this camp is incomplete without him. This is all my fault! I kept reminding myself.
I just shook my head to clear those thoughts. I left my food on the table and ran towards the Arena for some training. My day is not complete without him. It feels like something is lacking in your day. No! He decided. He's there with his father underwater. He's happy with his brother Tyson. I shouldn't be thinking negative thoughts.
Night came and I walked with my cabin mates to eat dinner. I was hungry and I didn't eat breakfast this morning. I keep looking for Percy thinking Grover was telling a joke but no sign of him.
We finished our food and headed to my cabin. I try hard to fall asleep but I couldn't. I walked towards the beach.
"Percy! Come back here! I'm sorry!" I yelled. I felt stupid talking to the beach
But no response
"Percy! Come here you little seaweed brain! The truth is I can't live without my best friend and that's you Percy! Come back here, don't let me jump in there and look for your father's palace. You know I can't breathe underwater" I yelled again
Still no response
"Percy please!" I cried. My knees are getting weaker.
Still there's no response. I decided to jump to the water and swim underneath. I will find Percy no matter what! I swim a little farther and sooner realized that I was far away from camp. I took deep breath above water and yelled "Percy Jackson! Come out! I know you're here. If you really are my friend, you come here and save me! Percy, I'm really sorry for what I have done! Please show up!"
I try hard not to cry. I don't want him to see me cry
Still there's no sign of him. I waited a little more. But, the more I waited, the more I feel tired. I can't swim a little bit farther.
I found myself gasping for air. I feel something pulling me downward. I am drowning!
"Percy-"I yelled for his name one last time and realized that my eyes are close, not even breathing
Suddenly I feel something or someone holding my arms and making a giant balloon around us.
I opened my eyes a bit. I saw a man in front me, looking at me worriedly. Those sea green eyes reminds me of our friendship when we're still young. I thought that he wouldn't hear me from afar, but, I was wrong. I was saved by my best friend:
Percy
