Percy's POV
Life was good the Titan war was over and I had all my friends (Thalia, Nico, Jason) and my wise girl, Annabeth. But that all changed when my new half-brother Jack came. Initially I was excited because I had a new sibling but soon after I wish he never came to camp half-blood because piece by piece he was destroying my life.
I remember it like yesterday. I had just come back from completing 3 tasks set by Athena so I could marry Annabeth when I saw a bunch of campers cheering at the pavilion. As soon as I approached they turned and made faces and sniggered at me, but I was used to this everyone had been freezing me out because of Jack and his rumours.
He'd framed me for stealing peoples stuff, even Thalia, Nico and Jason believed him and soon my dad disowned me and claimed him his favourite son but I still pushed on because I had to protect the camp and the mortals like my mum and Paul and my newborn baby sister Annie.
Soon after that they died although no-one came and saw if I was ok, I managed because I had Annabeth and knew that's what mum would have wanted me to do, so here I was trying to see what all the fuss was about when I saw the unfathomable.
"Jack, I love you so much-kiss-kiss", said Annabeth.
"I love -kiss-kiss- you to -kiss-" said Jack.
"You were right -kiss- when you -kiss-kiss- said you -kiss- were a better -kiss- kisser than Percy -kiss-"
"Of course, I am that wimp -kiss-kiss- wouldn't be a -kiss- better kisser than -kiss- me"
"Yeah and he doesn't even realise you set his cowardly family's house on fire", Annabeth grinned.
I was shocked she knew he killed my family! I shook my head, I had, had enough I pushed through the crowd.
"HOW COULD YOU", I demanded angrily.
"Percy, I didn't think you would be back for another couple of days", she said uneasily.
"What, so you decided to cheat on me?".
"Percy, you were gone for 2 weeks what was I supposed to do, you were doing all these horrible things", she said like it was obvious.
"No, I wasn't. You just believed Jacks lies", I shouted.
Out of everyone Annabeth has stayed true to me. Despite the rumours and crap people gave me she had always stuck by me.
"Percy, we all saw him beat the Minotour, 2 Hell Hounds and a Hydra before he had even trained and you just stood there. You almost let him die, for what, glory?"
"No, that's bullshit. I was there and I fought them. He just snatched the sword from me because I was dying from exhaustion and you guys proclaimed that he did it".
"Percy even if what you say is true, which I doubt he went on a quest and wounded Medusa. He's done amazing things so whether or not the events you are claim are true they're irrelevant".
"So I Killed Medusa with no training, I killed Kronos, I slayed Gaea, I got the golden fleece, I got the lightning bolt and I held the sky and saved Artemis", I said angrily, "You're being ridiculous, you've been there with me, achieving impossible tasks".
"Percy stop tricking yourself, you're just not as good as Jack. You were good a few years ago but even your father thinks you've just become useless", she argued
"What so that means he can murder my family", I said icily.
"They were worthless".
At her words, I felt my blood rage. I'd never been so tempted to just let go and destroy everything. What was so wrong with these people? What made them think murdering and killing was ok?
"I thought you were a kind, caring person not a murderer. What is wrong with you?".
"Lay off Percy. Killing's just normal, it happens all the time", Thalia interrupted.
"What!" I said.
I'd heard her perfectly clearly but everyone was just insane with being ok with this.
"I said lay off", she repeated with a glare
"Lay off? Lay off, they murdered my family", I screamed.
"Don't forget tortured to", said Jack with a grin.
"Stop being such a wimp", Thalia shrugged.
"Percy forget about it they were mortals" said Nico trying to get him to calm down.
"I hate you all!".
Everyone started laughing like this was funny.
"Annabeth, I was going to propose to you".
With that I threw the ring at her feet, suddenly her faced changed to sadness. Like something had clicked in her head. I didn't want to hear her crap and began retreating from the pavilion.
"Percy don't leave we need you", Annabeth said as she looked at me pleading.
Her change was so sudden, as soon as she realised she'd truly lost me she acted desperate. Was she just trying to be cool by faking it till she made it or was she just insane.
"No, I'm done with you Annabeth".
"Percy please", Annabeth continued.
"Just stop ok I'll never be with you, you're a heartless, horrible, self-centred psycho".
"Percy, they were mortals they were going to die anyway", Nico tried.
Was Nico seriously trying to rationalise this. To make me think this was ok.
"How could you say that, what if I killed your dad what would you say", I demanded.
"You can't kill my Dad he's important, he's a god, he's got a purpose", Thalia interjected.
"What so your dad's important, but my family's a waste of space".
"Exactly" said Thalia with a smirk.
"Shut up, Thalia I did so much for you, but you go and kill my family, mark my words Thalia we won't ever be friends and when I get my chance you will burn in Tartarus"
Thalia looked taken back, her face was blank as she blinked back tears. These people were insane, how dare she cry about our broken friendship when she'd just laughed about my family's murder.
I was done with camp half-blood.
My departure was interrupted though as I zapped to Olympus by the Gods.

I was surprised with the original response I got for this fanfic so I've decided to clean it up and re-write parts to make it an easier read for all the readers that liked it.
