A/N: So this is my first fanfiction story, so not too much hate, kay? Also, the characters might a bit OOC!

~Prologue~

"Percy," Annabeth said, "I – can't – BELIEVE YOU!" she suddenly exploded, "WHY?! WHY?! HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH?"

"Annabeth –" Percy said, grabbing her arm.

"No," Annabeth said, shaking his arm off, "NO!"

"Annabeth, please" Percy pleaded, "Think this over. I'm sorry! It was one night!"

"No," Annabeth said, suddenly quiet, "Percy, we've been through hell and back together. We've been best friends since we were twelve. I can tell when you are lying. You and I both know it was more than one night. Goodbye, Percy," her voice broke.

"No," Percy said in a whisper.

Annabeth walked out without looking back.

Only when she reached her car did she allow herself to cry.

Two years later

Annabeth walked through the halls of her company, Olympus Architecture, her heels clacking on the floor, echoing around the room.

"Malcolm," she said into her phone, "You told me 1 week. I've been waiting 3 weeks. Where are those blueprints?"

"Check your email. Anyway, Annabeth I told you," she heard Malcolm say, "I just had a kid. I'm a little tired. Just because you have no family, doesn't mean you can get in other people's face about –"

"I had a family," Annabeth said in a tight voice, "You know that just as well as I do. I need those blueprints by Friday. No excuses." She ended the call and strode into her office.

"Good morning, Miss Chase." Her assistant, Caitlyn Vergan, said cheerfully.

"Good morning Caitlyn. Could you call in Desdemona for me?" Annabeth said, sitting in her chair and booting up her computer.

"Right away," Caitlyn said, picking up the phone on her desk and walking out of the room.

Annabeth glanced at her computer screen.

2 new emails the notification read.

Annabeth sighed and pressed the mail app.

Hi Annabeth-

I found a town just out of New York that is looking for an architect that could redesign their downtown area. I told them you would be perfect for the job. The only problem – the town is 2 hours away, and they want you working from 8am to 8pm. So I found a house that I think you would like – here's the link:

Annabeth clicked the link.

A 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom family home with a spacious yard. Close to a few elementary schools and downtown. Only a few hours drive from New York.

Annabeth looked at the picture. This was a home for a family! Not a 24-year-old woman with her social life already on the rocks! This would make it worse.

But the job …

Annabeth clicked on the second email.

A/N: First chapter! Sorry it's short, I'm still getting the story set up so this is sort of an introduction to the characters (minus Percy, he's in the next chapter). Review!
