The Towers

Chapter #1

I'm so sorry guys! I haven't updated Lost in the World in like….. Forever! =( Sorry guys but I'm pretty busy now. Between school, volleyball, and family time I barely have time to breathe! Just kidding! But seriously, my schedule's been packed. I LOVE my new school and have so much fun on the bus; "Neon" (insider) ;D School is AWESOME. BI got this idea after I watched the 9/11 tribute and I just couldn't stop typing. I like already have the next chapters ready because I was that freaking excited about this one. I promise after this chapter there will be more excitement, broken hearts, and many tears. I'm good at these types of stories. Well sorry for the long author's note! I just had to apologize to you guys!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson OR Annabeth Chase.

Annabeth's POV

Percy and I were sitting on the top of my Manhattan home, gazing up at the stars. The Twin Towers, Empire State Building, and Brooklyn Bridge glowed with light from afar; I could have never imagined a more beautiful view. Percy had just confessed his love for me and my brain was all fuzzy, my heart was pumping love. Percy Jackson was the most popular boy at school. He was tall, handsome, and a star swimmer. I was you average kid except I was super smart which automatically put me under the NERD label that I didn't really appreciate. But Percy and I had been best friends for awhile and now the most crushed on boy at school had asked me to be his girlfriend. And of course I agreed, because I would be mental if I didn't. I glanced at him; he was staring at the stars as if there was no tomorrow. His body was snuggled up close to mine and even though it was chilly outside, I was warm by him.

"Percy?"

"Yea babe?"

I shivered when he called me babe. I wasn't used to it at all.

"You actually think I'm…. beautiful?"

No boy had ever said that about me ever but it might have been because I never really talked with people. Percy was the only person I liked talking to. He and I, we just clicked. Like peanut butter and jelly. Cereal and milk. Cocoa and puffs.

"Annabeth, what kind of ridiculous question is that? Anything you do- is beautiful. Anything you say- is beautiful. However you look, whatever you're wearing- you're beautiful. I could never imagine anything not beautiful coming from you."

My eyes began to tear. Who knew that underneath the tough guy act Percy was always putting on, my best friend was an actually a loveable, sappy boy with feelings?

"Awwwww don't cry babe,"

I playfully punched him on the shoulder.

"I'm not crying Seaweed Brain. Something just… got into my eye."

"Really?" he questioned.

"Yea buddy and you do know you always sucked at poems, right?"

"I know," he glanced at his Nikes in shame.

"But that was beautiful."

I leaned in towards him and stared into his adorable eyes; my heart skipping several beats, our lips only millimeters apart. And then he kissed me.

Pretty short? Psh posh, sorry guys! :/ Review for the next chapters!
