A/N: Hey everyone this is my first story so please go a little easy on me. Let me just say I'm sorry ahead of time for my grammar, if you have read my profile you should know that I am not a good speller. Well I hope you enjoy.

Annabeth's POV

If you love something let it go, if it comes back it's yours, but if it doesn't it was never yours to start with.

So that's what I did I let him go. I listened to my heart and set him free. I let him go 5 years ago, hoping that one day he would come back. Let me start with the day he left.

5 years ago

It was a hot, sunny day when Percy asked me to meet him at the beach. I didn't know what to think, he asked me to meet him the beach a I got there he was sitting on the sand looking sad.

"Hey Percy, whats wrong?" I ask.

"Well I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it. Annabeth I-I don't think this relationship is going well, I just need some time to think. I'm sorry Annabeth." he said not once looking me in the eye.

"Percy I understand, there's an old saying that I want you to know." I say holding back tears. "When you love something let it go, if it comes back it's yours, but if it doesn't it was never yours to start with. So that's what I'm doing, letting you go. If you truly love me you'll find your way back, but if you don't you never truly loved me." I say as I kiss his forehead and walk away.

I sit on my bed for hours just think of Percy. When I finally do fall asleep I dream of Percy and all the good and bad times we had together.

When I woke up the next morning I had one of my brothers standing over me.

"Annabeth get up you have to come see this." said Mark.

So I got up and follow him to Pecry's cabin.

"Why are we here?" I ask.

"Because Percy's missing Annabeth and I knew you would have wanted to see for yourself." he said.

Is it true, is Percy missing? I this what he meant when he said he need some time to think?If so I can only hope he comes back. I walk in the cabin and sit on his bed. To my surprise there's a picture of me and him laughing on his pillow. It made me start crying all over again. When Malcolm walked in I tried to make it not noticeable but he saw it.

"Annabeth whats wrong?" he asked with a worried look on his face.

"I know why he left. It's all my fault to." I say crying even harder.

"I know what happened on the beach and it's not your fault, he couldn't stop himself most likely. If he has anything in his head he'll come back, but you did the right thing." he say "I'm going to go."

I sit there all day people come in and give me food and say "I'm sorry." I never did understand why people say that they have no clue what I'm going though. I wish he would come back but I know he won't.

When I do leave the cabin I start to write poring what I feel on the page and the writing was very good.

5 years later

I was sitting at home at my desk. When there was a knock on the door. I looked at the clock is was about noon, so I thought it was the mailman. When I open the door it was him, I was in such a state of shock I passed out.

When I woke up I was in my bed. To my right on the edge of my bed was him. Percy turned and smiled at me.

"Hey." he said with a smile.

"Hey long time no see." I said.

"How have you been?" he asked.

"Good, how about you?" I asked sitting up.

'Well I've been good but I'm doing better now that I've seen you." he said.

I blushed and said "So do you want some food, I can bake some cookies."

"Sure as long as you promise you've gotten better since 5 years ago." he laughs and I laugh with him. For once it felt good to laugh, I haven't felt like this since I last saw Percy. I wonder what hes been doing for 5 years I think as I walk to the kitchen, Percy follows.

I get all the things out to bake cookies, and Percy sits at the table. When they are done I sit across from him.

"So what have you been doing for the past 5 years?" I ask.

"Oh, you know traveling the world, I saw some pretty cool places. But everywhere I went I couldn't stop thinking of you. So after about 2 years of traveling I went back to camp. I thought you were going to be there, but Chiron told me you left a year before. I stayed there for 3 years hoping that you would come back." he sighed, "So what have you been up to?"

"Well right now I'm working on my third novel. How has camp been?" I ask.

"Great Chiron said he would love for you to stop by, I said I would try to get you there as long as you wanted to go." he said.

"I would love to. Can we go today?" I asked putting on my best puppy dog face.

"Sure, let me go send Chiron an Irish message first." and with that he got up, with his cookie, and walked outside.

I thought it would be good to get out. I really wanted to go to camp, but I was scared it would bring to many memories of Percy but now he's with me. So there's nothing to be scared of. I went and packed my things then meet Percy in the car.

"You ready?" he asked

"Yep." I said popping the p.
