This wasn't supposed to happen. Percy and Annabeth were supposed to be the Golden couple, but after a while, things just didn't work out for either of them.
It had all started one Monday afternoon when Annabeth stalked up to Percy and spoke the words "We need to talk".

It was a beautiful Monday afternoon at camp Half-Blood. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and as always, the waves were as calm as ever.
That is, until Annabeth stalked up to Percy, trying to keep a fake smile on her face despite the fact that she would be regretting her next choice.
"Hey, Percy?" Annabeth asked, her gaze low. "We... have to talk."
Percy looked at Annabeth, his thoughts whirling. "Sure."
Together the couple walked over to a secluded spot in camp. Percy turned to Annabeth.
"So... what do you want to talk about?" Percy asked, trying to keep his cool.
Annabeth frowned. "Percy, this relationship... it isn't working out for us."
Percy stopped smiling, frowning instantly. "Annabeth, what do you mean? I thought that we were happy together..."
"Percy! Don't you get it?? After Tartaurus, YOU CHANGED! You... you stopped loving me... every time I saw you smiling, being happy, it just broke my heart. You changed, Percy. You stopped hanging around me and Leo and Hazel, you just stopped. A-And this has to stop. We can't be together any more. It's too much." Annabeth half yelled, half whispered, her voice breaking at some parts.
"O-ok... I understand, but I just needed some time to my self! But, can we still be friends?" Percy asked, his voice breaking.
Annabeth nodded. "And only friends..."
Percy then hugged Annabeth tight, letting her cry as long as she needed. Then Percy held her, wiping a tear from her cheeks.
"We'll get through this, ok?" Percy asked, whispering softly.
Annabeth nodded again, her eyes puffy and red from crying.
"I'm going to go to my cabin..." Annabeth whispered, her cheeks tear-stained.
Percy sighed as a tear slid down his cheek. Then he ran toward the beach and sat down, the waves still.
'What did I do to deserve this...?' Percy thought.
