Chapter 1

It was always going to end in tears. _

It all started with a fight...

Normally our fights went something like this:

Me: "You ate my sandwich!"

Percy: "Mmmmm yeah its good..."

Me: "Bitch!"

Percy: "Whatever." Then he leans closer with a mischievous look in his eyes and displaying his special lopsided smile – the one that always makes me melt.

Me: "Don't you dare try to resolve this by..."

Percy: closes the distance between us so that our lips are locked. He then pulls me onto his lap and we generally begin a heavy make out session.

But this time, this time it was much, much worse. It was actually a fully-blown fight – yelling, screaming, the running of hands through hair, cries of frustration, why was this happening?

I don't even know how it started. What did I do?

Oh...wait now I remember.

We were kissing out by the lake when we were rudely interrupted by the stupid Stoll brothers, why do they always do that? I guess its coz of their father, god of pranks and all. Anyway, since we were feeling like passionate about each other and stuff Percy decided to drag me to the Poseidon cabin for more 'privacy', I felt the same way so I didn't object – but that was before I realised what he was going to do.

As soon as we got inside Percy pushed me against the closed door, smiled lop-sidedly at me and lowered his face so his lips got attached to my neck, while my fingers ran playfully through his hair, my nails raking his scalp, sending shivers down his spine.

As he was necking me, Percy pushed his lower body's evident desire against my own. I could feel his hardness and then I realised what he wanted. But I also knew that I wasn't ready for anything more than what we had already done, namely sex. Being a daughter of Athena, I tend to know a lot of stuff, even stuff about myself.

While I was thinking I hadn't realised that Percy's hands had snaked down from their original place cupping my face to clasp my upper thighs. Pulling me back to reality, Percy suddenly hitched my legs up around his waist and carefully carried me to his bed. That's one thing I love about him, although he wanted this so badly he still had the inkling that I did NOT need to be handled roughly, frankly I don't honestly think I could take it.

Percy placed me down gently, before grinning at me, the smile reaching those green, green eyes that I love so much then he leaned down slowly, strangely agonisingly slowly. Wait... what Annabeth? What the hell? You don't want to have sex remember? Abstinence, jeez! Gods, you're only sixteen! Teenage pregnancy is so ... so ... not you, okay? He replaced his lips to mine and pushed me deeper and deeper into the bed. I quickly assessed the situation and realised that Percy definitely did not want to wait, he wanted to do IT now, right now. So being impulsive and reckless and an ADHD child I instinctively pushed him off me.

I sat up after he rolled off, rejected and said "I'm sorry Percy, but I can't. I'm not ready for that big of a step."

He just looked at me with real disappointment in his normally peaceful sea-green eyes, and I saw the hurt reflected there. Hurriedly, I attempted to reinforce my apology, "I... I'm sorry. I just, I just can't." I explained, looking at my lap, too scared to meet his eyes, afraid of what I'll see.

"It is a really big step for a girl, losing their virginity I mean. And like, if something goes wrong like if your condom breaks or whatever, then I could get pregnant! There is a hell of a lot more issues for a girl if this goes wrong. It's just not like that for guys." I said quietly, but as soon as I spoke the last few words, I knew I had said it wrong.

I knew this because the disappointment in Percy's eyes turned to anger, anger at me. He stood up abruptly and growled "So you don't honestly think I haven't thought about that? Seriously, do you really think that I am just like some other hormone-driven teenage male? Annabeth, gods, don't you know that I respect you and I don't want you to have to go through that. Gods, I can't freaking believe that you would freaking think that I don't care or I'm not prepared or that even I'm just doing this cause I feel like it."

This is where the fight started, I immediately rose to defend myself. I mean, Athena, my mother, is a maiden goddess and is extremely protective of her virginity and femininity, however hidden that quality is and I guess I'm the same. Now the fight was harsh, I was in tears no matter how hard I tried to keep them at bay and Percy had already made a hole in the wall and looked ready to set a freaking tidal wave on me or something. It was like his usually peaceful eyes that looked like calm waters were now like raging seas, rip-tides and destruction. It was at this point that I realised how dangerous Percy actually was, what he could do. Somewhere, deep down, despite how much I knew that Percy hated me at this moment, I knew that he would never kill me, but for some reason this was less comforting than I would have hoped.

Percy must have been offended when I said that sex was a bigger step for a woman than a man. Soon enough he looked up at me with mixed emotions shown in his eyes, sadness, disappointment, neglect, rejection, anger, offense, contempt and somewhere deep inside tears that he was not willing to shed, not for me. "Get out, Annabeth." He muttered, "Just get out." The emotion in his eyes compelled me towards the door, and I did as he asked – just like the vampires compelling on Vampire Diaries. A/N – sorry I couldn't help but put that in. I am now officially obsessed with Vampire Diaries :)... anyway back to the story.

I ran out the door, glad to be rid of the place and the emotion rolled into it. Wait? Annabeth he's your boyfriend – well ex-boyfriend now, I guess – you love him don't you? So why aren't you going back? Why aren't you trying to save the day, solve the issue like always? Daughter of Athena, really, is this where it ends? I guess, things like this always end in tears – literally.

A/N – so what did you think? I would really appreciate any form of reply to this – flames, criticism, likes whatever. It is my first chapter of my first fanfic. Percabeth! Review please :)
