You are waiting. Waiting for him to come home to you. If you could you would be out there searching for him. But even if you were allowed would you really be looking? It's not that you don't want him to come home, it's that you don't know what will happen of he does. What if he doesn't remember you? What if he doesn't even know who you are? All those memories washed away, maybe even forever. The first time he met you, the time he saved you from the titans, your stupid jealousy of Rachel, the time you thought he was going to die and kissed him, the time he gave up immortality for you. All gone. You can see him now with some other girl, some other best friend. But some part you is fighting it. Reminded you of how he promised he would never forget you. He promised you. You sometimes think about getting up and actually doing something. But, really, what could you do? Go canoeing on the lake that he kissed you? Climb the rock wall that you two would take terms climbing, competing for the best time? Practice your swordplay? Who else but him could possibly be a match for you? Leo won't even let you near the Argo II despite your many protests. Everyone thinks you're broken, too fragile to really do anything. And maybe you are but that doesn't mean you don't see the looks they give you, looks full of pity. But you don't want their pity, so you try to cover it with a mask, but they still see through you, no matter how hard you try. There is nothing you can do. So instead, you sit on the mossy rock overlooking the shore, because it reminds you of him, and wait. Sometimes if you close your eyes you can even imagine him coming up behind you and hugging you like he would so often, begging you to go swimming with him. But then you open your eyes and everything shatters into a million pieces because you are all alone.

Another weird one-shot...I really don't know what's up with me lately. Annabeth is most likely OOC in this one too, so I'm sorry! I'm mostly posting these because feedback really helps me to write better. I appreciate you guys putting up with me and reading my stories even though they could aren't the best... Anyway, please review and tell me what you think even if you hate it. I promise I won't get offended.
