Annabeth watched silently as Piper cried. The news of her relationship with Jason just being the trick of the Mist had hurt her bad. Annabeth felt her own tears well up. Piper brushed a tear from her own cheek. "Annabeth, are you okay?" Annabeth was silent as her own tears fell. "I just can't believe I lost him." The young daughter of Athena cried. Piper placed a gentle hand on Annabeth's shoulder. "We'll find him. I know we will."
Annabeth shook her head. "That's not what I meant." Annabeth forced a smile. "I was in love with that boy. He stole my heart." Piper watched as Annabeth wiped her tears away. "But Percy loved someone else. I remember him telling me how he loved him from the start." Piper was confused at the words. "What are you talking about, Annabeth?" Annabeth gave Piper a bitter smile. "Luke Castellan was the one who held Percy's heart. The two were enemies, but in the end they still loved each other. I remember Percy crying so long after we watched Luke die."
"Who's this Luke, Annabeth?" Annabeth looked up. "He was a son of Hermes. He betrayed Camp Half-Blood to serve the Titan Lord, Kronos. But Percy never cared about that. He still loved him. I never even had a chance." More tears fell. "They confessed their love for each other as Luke was dying. I was happy for them. I really was. But it hurt knowing that Luke held Percy's heart."
Piper hugged Annabeth. The sudden contact shocked Annabeth but she hesitantly wrapped her arms around the younger girl. "I'm sorry about that, Annabeth. I really am." Annabeth stood up. "Come on, we should get back to camp." Piper gazed at the crazy assortment of cabins in the valley. Her new home, a family who supposedly understood her—but soon they'd be just another bunch of people she'd disappointed, just another place she'd been kicked out of."You'll betray them for us, the voice had warned. Or you'll lose everything. She didn't have a choice.
These are little one shot's for Luke/Percy in the PJO and The Lost Hero's stories. Hope you enjoyed this one.
