(Thalia POV) I closed my eyes tightly and gave into him. Raking my hands into his hair, bringing him down closer to me. I felt his tongue brush against my bottom lip. I immediately opened my mouth to his, greeting him inside.
A minute passed by and we broke apart, taking in air.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" I heard a voice scream. We both turned around to see Annabeth.
Annabeth POV
It was a normal day at Camp Half-Blood. And I pretty much thought it was going to be a nice day. Well I was wrong. The hunters came in to visit. They're going to be staying for at least two days. But that's not why today was such a bad day. Nor was it because of the storm, the spider on my bed (which I need to go get someone to get it off because I know none of my brothers or sisters aren't going to do it), or it was because Percy was to 'busy' to hang out today. No, none of those are which had crushed me completely today.
I had just been walking over to the Arena to give Percy some dinner (because he skipped breakfast and lunch today) when it all of a sudden it started raining. Well, there was a cloud to start it. So it wasn't so sudden because of the sprinkling before it had warned me there was going to be a storm. The storm cloud was only covering Camp and it was most strong and dark at the Arena.
Well, this could only mean one thing. Percy and Thalia were at it again. Clashing swords I mean. They've always fought. And every time they did so it never ended very good. Those two acted like best friends some days and mortal enemies the next. It's pretty confusing if you ask me.
Anyways. I was heading over to the arena when it started raining.
"Oh crap. This is just great." I said while trying to protect the dinner with my hands but it didn't work out so well. I didn't bring it in a container because I didn't think it was that long of a walk to the Arena, nor did I think it was going to rain.
Boom!
Lightening and thunder crackled all over the place and it was starting to freak me out. The rain grew harder.
"Maybe I should go back." I thought. But after the thought had zoomed through my head I saw lightening explode at the Arena. I couldn't see what was going on inside. "Or maybe you should go check on Percy to see if he's alright." I thought. "A rational person wouldn't be out in the rain." The 'Athena' side of my brain disagreed. I smiled at myself. "But Percyisn't a rational person." And with that I decided to keep moving forward.
When I got to the Arena, or should I say when I almost got the Arena, I saw Thalia leaving angrily. Did she loose? I wonder... Well, the storm was over, so she couldn't be that angry.
I was about to call out to her when I saw that Percy was calling out to her.
"Hey Thalia, wait up!" He called but that only made Thalia walk faster. When Percy had finally caught up with her he grabbed her arm so she couldn't escape him and yanked her so that she was facing him. "I thought I told you to wait up."
"Um... I didn't hear you?" She suggested nervously. Well this cant go very well.
"Yeah, of course you didn't hear me calling you." He paused for a moment. "What was that back there?" He asked her.
What was what back where? So who won? Oh my gods, where the Hades was this leading? Please don't lead to where I think it might lead... At least tell this ADHD mind who won.
"What? The me trying to kill you? Oh that's how we usually spar, remember?" Thalia said. Oh thank you Thalia! So nothing did happen?
"No, that moment. Look I'm not an intelligent kind of person when it comes to the love department but I'm pretty sure I saw you blush." He smiled. Oh gods. This isn't going to go well.
I wanted to close my eyes, but I had to just keep watching. I had to see where this was going to lead!
Just then Percy took her hands. Great, now what was her going to do?
"Listen Thalia. I want to tell you something," He started. Oh no Percy, you do not want to tell her something. Please don't tell her something!
But he went on anyways. My thoughts had no effect to him. I was about to scream at him but I couldn't find my voice-box to do so.
"I kind of like you... a lot... you know, I've never told you before because you went all hunter on us. But I've liked you since I first saw you. Not when you were a tree or something, no, I don't like tree like that. But, just, you know, it's just this feeling I get when I'm with you. When I'm clashing swords with you, it's just the most fantastic feeling. When I hear you laugh, it's like the most happy sound I've ever heard. When I see you smile... it lights up the whole wor-"
"Okay Mr. Cheesy pants. What about Annabeth? Don't you like her?" Thalia asked. Yes, good question. Let's see what he has to say!
Percy shook his head. "Yeah, she's a great friend to have at my back but because she's still hooked up on Luke, there would never be anything between us. Look Thalia, I like you. I like you a lot. How many time do I have to tell you?" What? I am not hooked up on Luke! I think the fuck-tard was just giving her some god damned excuse! Gods Thalia, please be rational and reject the mother bastard.
"As many god damned times as you like! I don't like you back Jackson!" Thalia screamed and ripped her hands away from Percy's and stormed off. Yay! Thalia! Your the best! I think that's the smartest thing you've ever said Thalia!
But Percy just had to follow the girl. I guess that's just the way he is... persistent.
Percy smashed his lips onto Thalia's. What the hell? What the mother f-ing hell?
Thalia didn't pull away from him... no, after a few minutes she actually gave into him. Wrapping herself closer to him and entangling her fingers into his hair.
After a minute or so they pulled away. That was also the exact minute I got my voice back. "What the fuck?" I screamed and dropped the, now soaked dinner, I had brought for Percy. Looks like he wont be needing it, he had already skipped straight to dessert.
They both turned around to me startled.
I shook my head as I felt tears stream down my face. "Wh-what the hell?" I whispered and then turned around. I looked at their shocked faces for a few seconds and then ran for it. And boy did I run fast. I ran as quickly as possible. My legs soon grew wary but I didn't care. All I wanted to do was get as far away from them as possible. As far as way from them as I could possibly put myself.
I found myself in the forest when I stopped running.
I sat down on a rock and cried my eyes out... not literally of course, but it felt that way... it really felt that way.
Sitting there in the quiet place let my thoughts roam about in my head, a bit jumbled out if you ask me.
Percy. I've known Percy for, what? Four years? Maybe even more? And through those years I've always been by his side, fighting with him. Being there for him, teasing him. Being the best friend I could have possibly been. But I guess that's all he wants us to be, just friends. Nothing more. Not what I wanted. I wanted to be the person he had just made-out with. I wanted to be in his arms and wrapping myself around him tightly... not Thalia. Why couldn't that person have been... me?
