Is it the End?

A/N: Sorry, I haven't updated my other stories but I have been working on them. This idea popped into my head while I was banging my head against the wall. Owie. Anyway...please no flames. I promise, that this'll all work out.
Summary: Percy and Annabeth are a happy. They love each other and nothing is going to stop them from saving their love. Not even their parents. But Percy has noticed Annabeth is changing and when he figures out what it is, someone tells him what the only solution is…
There she was. Waiting for him, the blowing her hair in all directions. He could believe he was about to do this. But Percy couldn't take it anymore, because she…she had promised him that there would be no secrets between them. And she would always love him. But that wasn't true.
Her heart was big enough for others to be kept in and even though he knew she loved him with all her heart, he still had to do what—
"Percy!" Annabeth yelled and wrapped her arms around him. "I thought you wouldn't come." Her big, gray eyes stared at him for a minute. He gave her a smile and pushed her away.
"We need to talk," his hands made smiley faces on Thalia's Pine tree. This was where they had shared their first kiss. Where they had become one and had left the bad behind.
He knew Annabeth was remembering the same thing, it made him smile. But it didn't reach his eyes. Not fully.
A cool hand touched his cheek and saw Annabeth staring at him, with tears in her eyes. Maybe she knew what was coming her way. His eyes became unfathomable and his body began to tremble. It wasn't that he was afraid of saying those words, but he was afraid of hurting Annabeth.
She meant the world to him. He loved her as much as she loved him. Those nights they spent together, sharing their thoughts and staring at each other intently. She would giggle and he would blush. Those nights…he would never want to hurt her.
But, he was being selfish keep her all to himself or so he thought. The sun was just setting, the sky being painted with bright colors; orange, yellow, red, and pink. It was so beautiful.
Beautiful….his thoughts were pushed away and he focused on Annabeth. She was singing softly, while rocking back and forth. Percy thought she looked so peaceful, but he wasn't sure how peaceful she would be once he—
"Percy, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing," but it wasn't true. There was something wrong, sine last month.
(Flashback)
"Are you okay?" She asked, her slender fingers running up and down his arm. It gave him goose bumps but he didn't want her to stop. He loved the way she touched him.
"Yeah, I'm just tired," he replied.
"You should get some rest," Annabeth gave his knee a pat and rested her head on his shoulder, hoping he would get the message.
He did. Percy wrapped his arms around Annabeth, it made her feel warm and safe. Safe from Athena, Luke, Aphrodite, and from everyone who was trying to separate them. She knew Percy would never leave her side. She was his and he was hers.
"How can I rest, when I know they are out there? When my grandfather is trying to kill my dad and your mom? When he's trying to destroy our home? Or when I know… Luke isn't dead and he's trying to hurt you?" His grip tightened on her shoulder, "Tell me how Annabeth?"
"I-I don't know…"she whispered, so soft he could scarcely hear her.
He frowned and turned to look at her. Her eyes seemed distant, she was shaking and her breathing was coming in short pants.
What was wrong? Had he said something? All these possibilities crossed his mind. Finally something clicked…he stared harder at Annabeth, she turned to look him then his face softened.
"W-what's wrong?"
"You're scared."
She shrugged, "I'm cold."
"You're wearing a jacket and its summer, how can you be cold?" he chuckled and pulled her closer, "Admit it: You are scared."
She didn't answer. "Its Luke right? If he ever tries to hurt you I'll… I'll kill him!" Percy's face turned beet red.
Annabeth's heart began to beat rapidly, "No, you can't! Percy, you just can't!"
"Why shouldn't I? After all he's done…"he blinked a few times and grit his teeth, "…he deserves to die. Or do you still love him?"
"What? No! Of course not, I love you," she pushed away and looked at the sun. "I hate him. But everyone has good and bad inside of them."
Percy smiled, but he knew she wasn't telling the truth. She still loved Luke, it was just hard for to admit it. Especially to him.
He pulled her back and hugged her with all his might, "I love you too."
She giggled and then they kissed.
(End of Flashback)
It had bothered Percy day and night, invading his thoughts at all times. He dreamt about it, and because if his dreams, this was his solution: "Annabeth," he stopped to make sure she was looking at him. "I'm breaking up with you."
Annabeth stared at him in shock, not sure if he was joking or being serious. But…Percy would never toy with her feelings.
He knew she would never forgive him if he did. Tears welled up in the corner of her eyes, and then she took off. The tears rolling down her cheeks and the sobs blocking out everyone who called her name.
