Hello people of Earth and Canada! I have wanted to write a one-shot like this for a while and in light of certain …events that have happened recently I did. All will be explained, read onward!
"Cause we will we will rock you!"
"We will we will rock you!"
Annabeth and I sung with the radio. We were in the car well, my car Annabeth didn't have one yet, it was a gift from my dad for my eighteenth birthday. A Maserati Spyder! Not in red, but blue. Dad and mom never got over the blue stuff, and it might just be that he's the god of the ocean, you never know.
It was around 6:00pm so the sun had started to set casting a beautiful glow across Annabeth's face with her golden princess curls glowing.
You see Annabeth had been wanting to go to this new museum of Architecture that was near the Empire State building for months, so as a little surprise date I decided to take her there.
"Ok now close your eyes," I said with a smile on my face.
"Ok," she said unsurely. "There closed," And then she put her hands over them.
"Are not! I can see you peaking!" I saw the little spaces in between her fingers and I punched her arm playfully.
"Keep your eyes on the road Seaweed Brain!" She said but she closed the spaces.
I turned the corner and then we were in front of the building,
"Ok," I said "I'm going to come around and get you."
"What's going on Seaweed Brain?" She questioned.
"You'll see,"
I came around the car, opened the door, and eased her out. Once she was out I put my hands around her shoulders and kissed her cheek.
"Ok now… Open!" I said and her hands immediately came off her eyes and her face went from surprised to excited.
"Seaweed Brain!" She yelled.
"You're welcome," She put a hand on her hip and gave the don't-be-all-cheeky-on-me look.
I cleared my throat nervously and then with my hands in the air and fake excitement on my face said "Well lets go look at some architecture!"
She just shook her head with a smile on her face and then grabbed my arm and ran up the stairs that lead to the door.
"Percy look at that!" She pointed to a huge marble slab in front and then I realized what it was. It was a depiction of the Olympian gods fighting Kronos, and winning.
"Hey I have an idea, do you have your knife on you?"
"Maybe, what are you planning?"
"Here stand right here and look like your fighting," I said pushing Annabeth over to the marble.
Annabeth suddenly understood and she pulled out her knife and stood behind Kronos so it looked like she was about to stab him in the back.
"Perfect now where did I put the camera?" I said while searching my pockets.
"You left it in the car Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said rolling her eyes. "Let's just go into the museum we can do this later,"
"Nope," I said popping the p " I'll be right back just let me get the camera."
"Fine,"
I jogged down the stairs to my car on the side walk and opened the passenger door and crawled in. I looked in the cup holder, under the seat, in the glove box, but I couldn't find it. I was just about to give up when I saw something shiny on the floor under the steering wheel.I squeezed myself under and picked it up and saw it was the thin little Samsung camera.
"Aha! Found you!" I started to shimmy my way onto the seat when I heard Annabeth yelling something. I looked out the passenger window to see her running towards me saying "Percy! Get out! Get out!"
I looked out of the drivers side window and saw an old grey Toyota driving towards me, fast but I saw that the car was kind of jerky and heading towards the sides making people honk their horns when the car almost hit them. This guy was drunk and he was about to me. Styx. I tried to scramble out of my car but I felt a huge, and I'm talking huge force, hit the drivers side.
I heard the window shatter and felt the glass rain down on me, but not cutting me because of the Curse.
The car was rolling and rolling and as it rolled I realized that it was heading towards the museum No! Annabeth! I tried to hop out but the car was rolling too fast. Suddenly the passengers side gave out with sounds of crunching metal and I saw that it had hit the first few steps. This launched the car into the air and it landed on the hood and leaned back and forth a couple of times.
I felt extreme pain in my lower back and yelled out. I felt strength flowing out of me and I knew that something had hit my Achilles spot, but now the Curse was leaving me. I knew because the glass from all the other windows was falling and me and cutting my arms and face. The sting of the cuts was nothing compared to the pain in my back, it felt like bathing in the Styx while at the same time having already ran a mile in 3 minutes. My vision went a little hazy and so did my hearing, I must have banged my head pretty hard at some point.
I could hear sirens and yells but one sound stuck out through all of that like a knife. A woman's scream. Annabeth.
"Percy! Seaweed Brain!" I could hear desperation mixed into her voice. Was she alright?
I tried to call out but my voice sounded scratchy and weak. I tried to clear it but I just coughed out blood.
I turned my head to the side and saw the entire passenger window was gone, I also saw a pair of legs dressed in Bermuda shorts and grey converse running towards me. The person bent down and I saw their face. It was Annabeth.
"Oh gods," She said and reached n and dragged me out of the window by my arm. I looked behind at the inside of the car and saw a spike of metal sticking up with blood on it. Right where I had landed.
Annabeth put my head on her lap and her hands around my face, I looked up and saw her eyes. They were filled with panic and sadness, if that makes any sense.
I could feel my eyes drooping and she shook my head.
"Stay with me! Stay with me Seaweed Brain!" She yelled with tears starting to run down her face.
"A-Annabeth," I choked out.
"Percy don't you dare say goodbye! You're not dying!" She it like she was trying to convince herself.
In truth, I don't really know what I was thinking. I guess I was just trying to say her name and look at her as much as possible. As if it would save me. I looked up and saw the stars were out now, one of my favorites, The Huntress, looked especially beautiful. I could have sworn It was moving.
My Achilles spot still hurt like Hades, but it seemed to be fading ever so slowly which I was grateful for but I didn't know if it was good or bad.
"A-Annabeth, I-I love you," I said. If I was going to die I wanted to make sure she knew how I felt about her.
Tear were streaming down her face and she nodded "I love you too Seaweed Brain."
I saw a shape behind Annabeth and I was startled to see Zoe. But She mostly slightly transparent and had glittering stars dotted over her body. She smiled sadly at me. Behind her were Beckendorf, Silena, and Bianca. All looked like her except for the stars.
"I wish this wasn't how I would thy again," Zoe said sadly The rest of them all nodded sadly.
I could feel darkness looming over me and I looked at Annabeth, determined to tell her something before I died.
"Annabeth Th-theres a box in my room, top drawer in my dre-dresser."
"Your not going to die please, please don't say that!"
"Annabeth look behind you," I didn't know if she would see them but I guess she did because she gasped.
"Kind of sucks doesn't it? I live through countless monster attacks and then lose to a car," I chuckled and then grimaced. It hurt a lot.
Annabeth brushed a lock of hair out of my face and leaned in to kiss me for the last time. When she pulled away I had a goofy smile on my face.
"Goodbye Annabeth, I'll always love you, but do what you want in life don't be stick in the past," I said, I didn't want her to be stuck on me forever.
She nodded quickly and I felt relived, I sighed and closed my eyes forever.
Oh my gosh I'm crying dang it!
Magic Cat: Then why'd you write it?
Me: I have wanted to write a 'Don't Drive Drunk' story for like, ever and then today I found out that one of my favorite writers, AnikaandAj got in a car accident with a drunk driver. Well Aj and their dad did but now she's in the hospital and hasn't woken up once in five days *sniffle*
Magic Cat: What's up with you and your favorite authors?
Me: I don't know! *throws hands in air* Egh! Anyway message is don't drive drunk, it's dangerous, and can seriously hurt/kill people and is just plain stupid. I may add Annabeth's POV so just to let you know.
