So many one shots….But I have to say, they are so much more fun to write than a multi chapter stories. And now, I'm going to start a collection of one shots to make it easier to find them when I add new ones. So if it's one of my NOT songfics, it'll be group with the rest. I figured it would be easier for y'all…Anyway I am taking requests. If you want a song, tell me the name and artists and you'll get a shout out for that after I write it. Or if you want a scene but can't find a song to match it, just tell me when and where and I'll get the perfect song! Enjoy and review. Whatever Happened to You by Every Avenue.

I love Annabeth. And no, I'm not afraid to admit that, even if I am a guy. I mean, the girl saved my butt too many times to count, has seen every bad trait of me, and still likes me. Sure I was a Seaweed Brain, but even I had my limits. Who would be stupid enough to throw that away?

I frowned as I laid back into my bed; Luke did. Everyone else forgave him after what he did, and I myself was caught up in the moment too and went along with it, but all he put us through couldn't be forgotten.

In my head, things went like this: Evil was like his new pills and it gave him some cheap thrills. Who could enjoy torturing demigods like himself? No one goes from that to a savior of Olympus. I may have given him that knife, but I was out of options. And the only reason I didn't make a big deal afterwards was because I was glad Annabeth and I made it out alive. The guy was crazy. I wondered if he ever made bets with others to see who would die first. That would be something entertaining to him right? See who died first at their precious camp.

I buried my face into my pillow. What was I thinking? This wasn't right. He was the reason we were all alive now. But we were like his lab rats in that maze. He put us on a goose chase and won. How could ever ignore that?

My emotions were running around the same things again. Things that happened that seemed so long ago. It was like a continuous circle. I wasn't one to hold a grudge, but he betrayed us and it still hurt me. The guy did try to kill me on a few occasions after all. Maybe it was because my fatal flaw is loyalty and it rubbed me wrong when people couldn't be loyal.

I tried to quiet and thoughts and go to sleep. I looked up at the ceiling and thought of Annabeth. Man, that girl could kiss. And tonight, she seemed so happy. It was like nothing happened. It was almost as if losing Luke didn't hurt her. I rolled over and grumbled, why was this bothering me so much? I just wanted some sleep after today.

"Percy!" No, that voice….my eyes shot open, and standing at the foot of my bed was Luke Castellan. He was in a white t-shirt, flip flops and blue jeans. My teeth clenched, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was in some messed up dream.

"Luke." I replied with a snap. I was trying to reach for Riptide without causing him to notice. I didn't want to find out what his intentions were unarmed.

"I don't have much time, Perce," He smiled grimly and ran a hand through his short hair, "Time doesn't wait; I've learned that the hard way."

My lower body was tangled in my sheets and I could help but realize that would slow me down if I needed to attack. But as I examined Luke, things seemed different. His smile was genuine. His scar didn't seem menacing and his blue eyes were bright and mischievous, like so many of his siblings'. He seemed normal.

"You're probably wondering why I am here, in spirit," He lost his smile and sighed, "The gods thought it was best to send me to you to patch things up. You know, make amends. They felt some tension in you and were concerned about it leading to drastic measures. You know how Athena is. Once she gets an idea in her head, everyone has to follow." He smiled and laughed as if we were best friends. I didn't recognize the face in front of me. I was used to being grimaced at and observed as an enemy.

"Luke, I am the same as I was when I was younger," I began, choosing my words carefully so I wouldn't get angered, "I never changed with the lines on my face. I'm still the person you knew. Whatever happened to you?" My fists clenched with my last words. My emotions and inner turmoil were clouding my thoughts.

My anger boiled up at the pits of my stomach as Luke sat down on a chair across from my bunk. He put his face in his hands, "Percy, you don't see it, but you did change. But you changed in the ways I wished I would've. You changed for the better as I did for the worse."

"You know you had a chance," I finally stood up with a scowl plastered on my face, "You had the world in your hands at this camp. You could've had it all if you'd have got your shit straight." I was on a roll. I could feel my face heating up and my body shaking. His head hung low as if ashamed, "You went off the deep end and left your friends who drowned in sorrow. You left Annabeth!" I was screaming. My eyes were narrowed and I was tense.

"Is this what it's about Percy? Is it about Annabeth?" he picked his head up but remained standing. His eyes reflected misery, but he deserved it, "I know you love each other! You two fought the same fight, and she stood by your side. You did the same for her too. But I couldn't stick around and crumble, Percy." He sighed, "This was never meant for me. I was bitter. I was angry. I felt abandoned."

I sat down on my bed, consumed in memories. The water from my dad's fountain was running, now trying to soothe me. Tyson fixed it after my horrible dream that winter. I was a bit grateful now. Water always made me feel better, "Yes that is what this is about! Annabeth was your family. You abandoned her. And she was devastated. How could you do that?"

"I did a lot of wrong things, Percy, and I'm not proud of it. I wish I could take it back, for all the people that died and suffered. But in a way, I'm glad it all happened. You and Annabeth got close, and now you two are together. You found a brother through it all. You learned why loyalty is so important. Percy you aren't the same as you were when you were younger. You grow up well. And I hope you can be happy now with Annabeth."

I looked at him funny. How could all of that happen from his one bad decision? "I'm asking for your forgiveness, Percy. I know I don't deserve it but, I need it. And from what I hear about forgiveness, it really helps the other person too. I don't want you to be bitter and spiteful like me. Be happy, Perce. I bet Annabeth would really beat you into shape if you weren't."

I smiled with him that time. Annabeth would kill me if I took advantage of this opportunity, "Yeah, Luke, it might take some time for it to fully happen, but I forgive you." My eye twitched as I said it. I still wasn't about to be all buddy-buddy with him. I was still upset.

He nodded he stood up. Our height was almost even now. I had never got the chance to notice that. Luke held out his hand. I stared at it for a minute and went along with it. I shook his hand, "Thanks Percy, for everything. Especially for standing by Annabeth, she really needed you. And she still does."

"I'll be here until she makes me leave," I laughed and stepped back from our handshake.

Luke put his hand on my shoulder and gave me a shove, "Take care of her; she will kill you without a second thought. Bye Percy."

"Yeah I'll do that. Bye Luke."

He shimmered and disappeared. I sat back on my bed and got under my sheets. I was cold. I couldn't believe what just happened. That was the Luke I knew before the evil. I couldn't help but smile. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.

Whatever happened to you, Luke?

That was requested by PARAMOREROCKS and I have to say, I love that song, and really enjoyed writing this. Tell me what y'all think!
