The last conversation me and Annabeth had had was about how she wanted to break up with me because she loved Connor. It had went like this:
"Percy, I can't date you anymore" said Annabeth
"Why not?" I said
"Because I don't love you anymore" Annabeth said.
"Who do you love, then?" I exclaimed.
"Connor Stoll" Annabeth said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"How do you love Connor, he's a son of Hermes? He steals everything and you basically hate him!" I was trying so hard to help her see the light.
"He's so sweet, and he would do anything for me. He told me on our first date." Annabeth now had a fierce look on her face as if I'd offended her and I was exasperated.
"You were dating him while you were dating me?" I inquired, pointing at the general direction of the Hermes cabin then to myself.
"Well...yeah. It all started right after he sweet talked me while I healed from the arrow that went into a chink in my armor. He had stolen some healing medicine and given it to me" Annabeth had her dreamy eyes again, and those made me so mad I couldn't choked Connor.
"I can't believe this. Well, I guess it's over. Bye, Annabeth" I gave up, walking away.
"Bye, Percy" something crossed Annabeth's face that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It kind of looked like I had just slapped her, or maybe I was just seeing things.
I had left and went to my cabin after that. I couldn't believe that a good friend of mine and my girlfriend had went out and cheated on me. I didn't come out of my room for a while, and I never saw Annabeth, because she went to a school with Connor, leaving me completely abandoned. I was utterly and completely alone. There was one thing that had been biting at the back of my head, but I hadn't been able to force it out of me on that day. I was going to tell Annabeth something extremely important.
I loved her.
