You never know what you have until it's gone.
Annabeth Chase learned that the hard way. He was her best friend, her boyfriend, a shoulder to cry on, her own personal hero. And now?
He was gone.
She had always had jumbled feelings towards this certain demigod with the captivating sea-green eyes she never got enough of, but know it was different. When you wake up to find the person you care about most in the world gone, you realize a few things.
You realize how much you miss walking on the beach with his soft, caring hand grasped in yours. You realize you miss running your hands through his silky black hair. You realize you miss waking up to his attractive voice pulling you back to reality and scaring the nightmares away. You realize you miss his strong toned arms embracing your petite frame. Most of all you realize you miss his smooth, gentle lips moving against your own.
And when you realize you can't remember the exact color tone of his gorgeous kaleidoscope eyes you're horrified at yourself and scared. Scared of what's going to happen when more days fly by and you aren't able to see your Seaweed Brain. Suddenly you feel like you're back at Mount. Tam, holding the sky that's about to come crashing back down on you. You're facing the worst pain that you've ever had to endure in your life. But this time you know that Ambrosia and Nectar can't come close to fixing your broken heart.
You never thought you'd miss the teasing your siblings brought you for dating a Son of Poseidon, and all the jealous glares from all the girls in the Aphrodite Cabin. Now no one dares to say a word in fear of your reaction.
Most importantly you realize that your in love with Percy Jackson.
