Percy sat back on the coach with his head in his hands. He didn't know how all of this was going to go down frankly he didn't want anything to go down but it had to; it had to happen. Percy was making the right decision for others. He knew deep down this wasn't what he wanted rather something he had to do, he HAD to.
Percy felt like he might cry when he heard the door to his and Annabeth's condo open. He heard the clicking of the heels as Annabeth walked into the living room where he was at. He turned to face her and noticed the nervous smile on her face. It was the one she put on when she had news either good or bad it didn't matter.
Her face suddenly fell when she saw Percy's. He didn't know what she was thinking. He started to panic for a minute thinking she already knew what he was about to tell her but instead she spoke.
"Percy I have some news."
News, Percy thought, she didn't say good or bad but he guessed he would never know. He desperately wished he could know what he was going to say. If he would've decided to listen perhaps he would've changed his mind about his next move. Alas he spoke six stupid words that would make his life a living hell over the next six years.
"I can't do this anymore Annabeth."
Her face recoiled in shock, betrayal, anger and so much more. It quickly seemed to disappear in a few short seconds (which felt like hours to Percy) as she cleared her throat and spoke hoarsely
"Okay, I'll leave then if you want me to." His heart broke when she said these things.
She was trying to stay strong, trying not to show any weakness but Percy knew her better than that. He had know her for ten years. They had just graduated college and were starting a life together and then Percy screwed everything up.
"No Im leaving you can stay here."
That was all they said to eachother. No nasty breakup those were their parting words. She just nodded and walked away. A few minutes later he could here her sobs echoing from the bathroom.
Percy sat on the couch realizing he had just broken the love of his life's heart. There was no turning back now.
He thought back on the moment everything went wrong. Annabeth had left him for threw weeks. At the beginning of that time he was sure she would never come back, but she did. The second day she was gone Percy went and got himself drunk. He was heartbrokwn much like Annabeth was now and didn't know what else to do.
(Flashback to Drunkness)
Percy stumbled up to the pretty girl sitting by herself at the bar. From being she was gorgeous so he assumed she would look even better up front. He sat down next to her and she turned to look at him. Wait he knew this woman.
"Percy?" Rachel Elizabeth Dare asked.
He hadn't seen her since he and Annabeth left to New Rome for college and right after that they had moved to New York City trying to make a life. She had gotten even more beautiful. At age twenty two she didn't look a day over sixteen which at this age wasn't as much of a compliment as it would've been if the were fifty-two. He had no idea she still lived here.
"Rachel! Long time, No see!" He slurred.
She smiled at him. Threw his own drunkness he could tells she was intoxicated as well which made the night a lot more interesting.
"You too! Is it possible you gotten even more sexier after all these years." She said back leaning in closer to him. At that moment neither of them were thinking of Annabeth which was something Percy thought at the time was good but now he felt so stupid.
(End of Flashback)
He heard Annabeth crying in the bathroom and couldn't take it any longer. He got up,went to their room, and packed his stuff. Annabeth would never know why he left. She didn't even ask that question to him. She simply went along with it. Percy longed for her to ask. So he could tell her the truth and everything would be okay. They would work it out like they always did. He wasn't so sure if they could this time though.
Percy was still in shock himself. He had only received the call this morning. About the night he and Rachel stared two and a half months ago. It finally hit him as he was packing his stuff and he felt overwhelmed with emotions. He knew he was making the best choice. It was the right thing to do of course but he couldn't get over to guilt of leaving Annabeth. She deserved the truth which was something he couldn't deliver. She deserved an explanation which was something she would never get.
If you hadn't guessed it yet, Yes Percy Jackson did happen to knock up Rachel Elizabeth Dare two months ago in a bathroom stall in a bar and he was leaving Annabeth to take responsibility of his actions.
