That Summer

by kcje19

Annabeth's life was never perfect. She had no real family, nor did she ever have real friends. She's learned to be independent without relying on anything or anyone. After 16 years, Annabeth is used to this lifestyle, content with it in every way. When her mother sends her to her father for the Summer, though, her eyes are open to a new range of possibilities, including love.

1. Prologue

Helloo !

This is my first fanfiction.
I made a New Years' Resolution to write at least once a week for the entire year, so I thought Fanfiction would help me achieve that.
I'm always looking for new ways to improve, so if you could offer any advice for anything, please please pleaseee!

Anyways, enjoy this super short prologue; I promise the chapters will be much longer.

It was the summer of 1998 when I met him.

Dark black hair. Gorgeous, swirling green eyes. Mischievous grin. That perfect face. They all just added up to him.

Him.

Every morning and every night of that summer has his name written all over them. Almost everywhere I was, he was right there beside me. Those countless nights spent talking, those beautiful days in the water, that special look meant only for me. He stood tall when everything else in my life was crumbling down. He was there for me.

And that's why I fell in love with him.

On the other hand, nothing good ever lasts, especially that wonderful feeling of love. My whole life is a game show for disappointment. I thought by 18 years, I'd learn not to get my hopes up every time something promising shows up. But I can't help it. I'm young, this is usually what I do.

I am who I am. And he loved me for me.

Thank you, Percy.
