Here's the thing. I have a two-shot. It ends at a good spot to where I have the option to continue. Since I'm in a good mood, should I get at LEAST 8 reviews, I will post the second half tonight and if I get 8 more after that saying I should continue, I will. :) First half is short-ish... I know.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Percy Jackson and the Olympians... Obviously since I am in no way, shape, or form Rick Riordan.
She sat on her couch watching her favorite show in the world: Toddlers & Tiaras. No judging. Suddenly, her phone beeped signaling that she had received a text message. Percy. Her husband of three years.
Notice anything different? It said.
She smiled. Is this a surprise? For the last couple of months, he'd been becoming more distant. Annabeth always believed that it was just his job. He was a major marine biologist. Maybe he got time off and we're going to have a nice night together.
She got up from her perch on the couch to look around for any clues but all she saw was that the house was a clean as ever.
Wait.
I haven't cleaned yet, she thought. Annabeth also knew for sure that Percy didn't clean anything. Ever. Suspicions raised, she raced upstairs to their bedroom. It's clean in here too. Something felt off in the room and it really picked at Annabeth's thoughts before it hit her. Percy's things were missing. She checked the bathroom and sure enough, all of his stuff had been removed from there as well. Only one last place to look. Annabeth made her way to their shared closet and was met with all of Percy's clothes gone along with a number of suitcases. At this point, Annabeth knew that it wasn't just his work that made him so distant. "No... This can't be happening... Not now." She could barely speak, let alone stand, so she moved to the bed and sat down. The sound of something crumpling underneath her jarred her out of her thoughts. Annabeth pulled the mystery item out from under her and saw that they were divorce papers. Gasping slightly, she noticed the little paper clip in the corner of the packet and pulled on it. From behind the packet, a small picture fluttered to the ground. Annabeth bent over to examine the new found clue. Percy. And Rachel.
His assistant?! He's leaving me for his assistant?! Tears threatened to pour out from her eyes but Annabeth was much stronger than that. Hot air filled her chest as her pain morphed into anger. She saw red as she practically stabbed her signature onto the paper beside Percy's. Folding it back along the creases, Annabeth shoved the packet into an envelope, sealed it, and slammed it down onto the pile of other things that were to be mailed.
Annabeth then moved back to her perch on the couch in front of the TV where Teen Mom was now showing. How ironic. These girls are 16/17, with a child, and the father is there. Well, most of the time. She thought this while caressing her own stomach. I'm twenty-six and my husband left me. Taking a long glance at her soon-to-be not-so-flat belly, she said, "Well, it looks like you won't know your daddy after all."
I know you guys are probably pissed that Percy did what he did but I hope you won't stop reading! I promise it will get better since this is a Percabeth story so... :)
And there you go! Part 1, done! Remember, 8 reviews and I'll get part 2 up ASAP.
Happy Friday!
Remember,
