An-This is going to be my first ever story after around 2-3 years of watching and reading some of the best fan-fictions ever. As with most people I ask for constructive criticism and if you flame be warned for i will roast you out in PM... Also I will try and take after Keenbeenz in which I do some one shots. But enjoy and have fun.

Disclaimer-i don't own PJO because if I did the whole series would be totally different.

Rose

It all started around the second year of knowing each other, of course they weren't close friends but they were somewhat close. See had always saw him around and tried to engage in some light chit-chat when he talked to her but he was just so oblivious to the fact she had feelings for him. But it was still love for her.

The year after that she left her first rose for him.. Of courshe he had no idea who left it, but to her horror he thought it was that damn Athena Daughter, "oh how I wish I could bring that girl down a peg, I wish I could show him how much I loved him." But even as she feel deeper in love with him he feel deeper in love with "her" and it killed her. But it was still love by any other name.

The day before they went to go into Manhattan she had the perfect chance to finally declare her overbearing love for him. But who was he? He was the great Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon and so much more. And who was she? She was just Katie Gardener, Daughter of Demeter and hopelessly in love with the hero of Olympus. Gathering up her courage she summoned a rose and walked up to him with the rose in her hand. " Hi Katie! What do you need?" Asked Percy. "I... Just wanted to tell you Something super important." She said. "Well what is it?". "I.. Love you Percy. I love you so much. I was the one who gave you those secret roses, it was me! Not Annabeth." She blurted out at him just wanting to get it done. " well I don't know what to say.. I've always liked you but I feel like I couldn't give you the love you deserve.. Please don't be sad." He said noticing the tears start forming in her eyes. "It's ok. Take this rose to give to annabeth. Just remember.. I'll always love you." She said as she ran away to go drown her sorrows.

And so she fought, she killed and died a little on the inside after every monster she saw him tearing into the enemy lines. And as she laid on the ground bleeding out, due to a hellhound paw to the neck. She knew that even though she could never have him she would still love him. After all just like a rose, love is still love by any other name.
