A/N: My first story/drabble thing. Thanks to Queen Alexandera's Birdwing for being the BEST, most reliable, flexible beta ever! If you need a beta, go to her. Also thanks to Thursday 13 for the plot bunny. Without further ado (besides the disclaimer) here you go!

Disclaimer: I don't own. Sorry, I don't have a witty disclaimer either :( Oh well, I promise next time.

They had been a puzzle. Fitting together so perfectly, a little family. Then one of their pieces fell off, broke away. They learned to deal with it, to make a puzzle with holes.

Annabeth regretted turning her back on her friend, but she and the boy survived, moved on. At least that's what Luke led her to believe. So, they acted like nothing had happened, and they grew closer together.

Soon, though, the little girl grew up, and started to think of the boy as more than just a brother. He started to pull away, become distant.

*She regretted not probing further, seeing what was wrong.*

Then he came. The boy of the prophecy. The one that might just make Annabeth stop regretting her love for Luke and be able to move on. Percy took her on a quest, saved her life, and protected her. All Luke did was try to kill Percy when they got back.

*She regretted not helping Luke when she could.*

On Mt. Tam, she tried to help him, tried to save him, but no one believed that he could be good again. That broke her heart.

*She regretted not trying harder to convince them.*

At the final battle on Olympus, Luke finally proved that he could be a hero. That he was just another forgotten demigod who wanted revenge, but saw the light. He sacrificed himself to save Kronos.

*She regretted not trusting him.*

*She regretted letting him slip away.*

A/N: (again!) So, hope you enjoyed it. I don't usually write Annabeth/Luke, so this was new. I think it turned out all right. Let me know! Also, should I write a songfic/iPod challenge thing? I'm thinkin I should. Again, let me know in a review! All reviewers will get virtual...pie! Yeah, that's it, blue pie.
Exclamation points, Love, and Reviews!
