A/N: Ok, do not be stupid, I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON!!! You should know that, but if you are stupid and think that I'm lying... DO YOU THINK RICK RIORDAN'S SCREEN NAME WOULD BE SPAZYCHICK!?!?!?!??!?!?! anyhoo... enjoy reading!

I could feel the sunlight warming my face as I lay streached out on my bunk. I was still tried, even though I went to bed early last night, but then again, I was always tired no adays. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and wiped the tear off my cheek. I was used to it now, falling asleep wrying, waking up crying. I had fallen into a rythem this summer, although it was not a pleasent one.

I felt under my mattress, and pulled out the letter. The letter I had written, on the day my heart was broken. And I remember it so well.

The sun was setting on Percy's 16th birthday. So many things had happend that day. We had defeated Kronos and his army, saved the world, Percy almost became a god. So many things that gave me confidence, enough confidence to finally tell him how I feel.

I saw him in the dining pavillion. I was at the bottom of the hill, looking at his back, but I could tell he was looking at the water. I steped forward, starting what I knew would be the hardest thing in my life. Thoughts contradicting my choise to tell him swirled around in my mind, but I pushed them back. He must like me, I thought, He gave up immortality for me... I was so confident... and then, Rachel sat down next to him.

I faltered for a moment. I saw Percy look at her and smile his lopsided grin, a grin I always thought he'd saved just for me. Snap out of it! I thought, They're just friends. But as I saw their lips meet, I knew they weren't. I had always thought that we were perfect for each other, and every camper at Camp Half-Blood would say the same thing. My eyes started to leak, tears of pain, dissapointment, hatred, and regret. Regret that I'd ever thought that Percy Jackson liked me.

At that moment, I knew I couldn't watch my heart be torn to bits anymore, and I turned and ran all the way back to my cabin. Everyone was down at the campfire tending to the hurt, so I was all alone. I was so angery at myslef. Angry with Rachel for being prettier, and smarter, and confident enough to tell Percy first. Angry at Seaweed Brain for choosing her over me. And angry at myself for ever thinking that damn Persues Jackson could have liked me as more then a sparring partner.

I sat down at my desk, and pulled out a sheet of paper.

My Dear Percy,

If you are reading this, it must be the last day of camp. You're probably excited, you get to see you mom agian, hang out with all you mortal friends, and sppend time with Rachel. I want you to know that I'm not staying. I'm going to San Francisco to live with my family. I just wanted you to know that, I love you. I think I've loved you ever since Mount St. Helens, and it's grown. And now, my love has grown so much that I had to share the burrden, or it would overtake me. And I know you've chosen Rachel, and I won't get it you way, but I'm not going to stick around and watch. So, goodbye, you won't have to deal with anymore. Goodbye for good.

Your Friend,

Annabeth Chase

I was crying all while writting this letter, and I knew it would have tear stains on it, but I didn't care. I stopped caring when I saw Rachel kiss Percy, and Percy kiss back.

I had slipped that letter under my mattress, and I hadn't moved it since the day I put it there. I stopped talking to Percy, mostly just hung out in my cabin, or with Clarisse (we had become suprisingly good friends) and waited for the day I could leave this plave, and Percy, behind.

So here I am, laying on my back, staring at the letter I would have to give to Percy. But I knew I couldn't do it. I was a coward. So when Chiron came at 7:00 to tell my that my dad was here, I gathered up my things, and as we were walked toward the pine, I slipped him the letter.

"Would you give this to Percy once I'm gone..." Crap! He's gonna wonder why I can't do it. "Umm. I would do it myself, but I don't want to wake him."

"Of course, my dear. I hope you have a good flight, and may the gods grant you a safe year." He said and smiled as I got into my dad's car.

"Thank you, and goodbye." I knew knew may never see him again, since I was never comming back, but the smile on his face as we drove off, lead on that he knew my permenant departure was comming.

All throughout the drive, I tried not to think of Percy, but I couldn't help it. Would he even care that I left, I mean... he had Rachel, but would he miss his ex-best friend. Probably not.

I slept through the plane ride, and I drept of Percy... and woke up with tears on my face.

A/N: I hope you liked it! R&R, and I'll post another chapter soon enough! Peace out! =P
