Opposites attract

I Got You

APOV

I hadn't seen Percy in weeks. I had tried calling him but he wouldn't pick up the phone. I tried e-mailing him but no reply came. I even iris messaged him, but he was asleep. I had to talk to him eventually.

Then it came to me. He was ignoring me intentionally.

"Hey, Annabeth. Are you OK?" asked my dad. I nodded, staring at the wall behind him.

A place to crash

I got you

No need to ask

I got you

Just get on the phone

I got you

Come and pick you up if I have to

What's weird about it

Is we're right at the end

And mad about it

Just figured it out in my head

I'm proud to say

I got you

"You don't seem well. Maybe you should lie down," suggested my stepmom.

"OK," I muttered. I walked over to my room, opened my door and fell on my bed. I started crying and I couldn't stop. Percy hadn't talked to me. Maybe he was with someone else like Calypso or Rachel. The thought of him being with another girl tore at my heart.

My phone started ringing. I picked it up and the caller name: Seaweed Brain

"Hello?" I said.

"Annabeth? Is that you?" asked a vaguely familiar voice.

"Oh, hi Sally. Where's Percy?"

"In the room. He wants to talk to you but got me to start a conversation,"

"Can I speak to him?"

"Hi, Annabeth," Percy said.

"Percy, you seaweed brain. I haven't spoken to you for ages. What's wrong with you?"

"I've been tortured at collage and the kid's in my apartment block are a nightmare. They keep throwing stuff at me. Thank Poseidon for invincibility,"

I laughed down the phone.

"OK. My mom's left to go back to Brooklyn and I am now in my room,"

"Why do I need to know that?"

"Do you want to stay here for a week?"

"Um, yeah! Sure! Why not?"

"OK then. I'll pick you up tomorrow at eleven then. Where do you live?"

"103 Prince Street. Its a few blocks away from Broadway,"

"Oh, living on Broadway, now, are we?" Percy teased.

"Yeah. I go to the stage on musical nights,"

"Ha. So, how have you been?"

"Well, it's been horrible not being around you and Grover. I haven't seen you or him since their wedding and it's SO boring without you,"

"I bet. How many half bloods have defeated Kronos?"

"Just you,"

"Ha. I-Iey, I've gotta go. See you soon,"

"Bye, Percy,"

Beeeeeeeeeeep

"Love you," I whispered to myself.

I fell back on my bed and smiled to myself.

I'm going to Percy's for a week!

"Hey, dad!" I shouted.

He opened my door.

"Percy's picking me up tomorrow at 11. I'll be gone for a week. Is that ok?"

"Yeah, sure,"

Yes!

I texted Thalia.

'Hey. I'm staying at Percy's for a week and I'm SO excited'

She replied back:

'OMG seriously? Well, you won't do anything stupid, will you?'

'No, I won't'

No reply.

I started packing my stuff. I turned my CD player on and put the Echo Leona Lewis CD on. I skipped the first song and went onto the next, I Got You.

Go ahead and make me cry

I'll be alright

Go ahead and say goodbye

I'll be alright

And when you need a place to run to

For better or worse

I got you

The sweet music of Leona rang through my ears, making me feel relaxed.

"For better or worse, I got you," I mumbled to myself.

Someone started hammering on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled.

My step sister, Yvonne, walked in and sat on my bed.

"So, you're going to you're boyfriends place for a week?" she asked.

"Well, he's not my boyfriend and yes, I am going to his place for a week,"

"Oh, ok. But, if you come back pregnant, I'll pummel that guy,"

"Don't. He's invulnerable, I told you!"

She smiled.

"You listening to Leona Lewis?" she asked.

I nodded.

"I never knew you liked her,"
"I freaking love her!"

"Ah, ok. Well, she you tomorrow,"

"Where are you going?"

"Lava Lounge. I'm going with Lucas, as a date,"

"Seriously?"
"Yeah!!"

She left the room.

I was left with my thoughts of Percy.

I thought of all the things I loved about him.

I loved his voice.

I loved his hair.

I loved his eyes.

I loved the way he called me wise girl.

I loved the way he laughed.

I like the way you move!

I laughed.

I did love the way he moved.

I loved him the way he is.

I looked at my clock and was confused at the time.

20:29

OK then. I'll get to bed

I got in my pyjamas and got under my covers. I drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Ah, I must tell you that I am from the UK and I am finding it pretty difficult to write this so please be nice. I love Leona Lewis but, unfortunately, I do not own her (cries) anyway, please R&R
