We all know this is OOC so we don't have to point anything out. And don't forget to put on your happy faces :)
"Annabeth, come back!" I called after her, chasing her, leaving Thal behind. By the time I got out of the big house, Annabeth was halfway to her cabin. What have I done? I thought. I slapped my forehead, I sighed as Annabeth opened her cabin door and ran inside. Many faces turned towards my general direction. I decided to hide out in the infirmiry and talk to Annabeth later. As I walked in the infirmary, Thalia's hands were covering her mouth, her eyes as wide as the moon.
"Percy, I'm so sorry. I didn't know she was comming back today, I..." She let out a frustrated grunt, while saying some very inappropriate words. "I shouldn't have done this, any of this. Now I'm stuck at the Zeus cabin all by myself, I hurt my best friend heart. And to top it all off, you don't even love me!" a tear formed in her eye.
"That's not true I love you ve-"
"Don't say that! Your making me feel bad, you're suppose to be with Annabeth, and I'm suppose to be a hunter." she sighed and waited for a couple of seconds. "Percy, just go. Comfort Annabeth. Tell her I kissed you and you had nothing to do with it."
"Okay, I will." I leaned in and kissed her, she immediatly withdrawed and pushed me back.
"If you ever," she said, with a mixture of confusion and regret in her voice, like she didn't want to say what she was saying. "Do that again, I will hurt you, and hurt you bad." she waited "Just go, before I do anything I'll regret." And I had a feeling that she wasn't talking about hurting me. Tears were now falling down her cheek.
"Sorry, I just... never mind, sorry. I really am." I walked out of the door hearing Thalia cry, really bad, like she was heart broken, which wasn't any thing like her. I headed towards the Athena cabin. Looking up I saw that the clouds hung low in over cast, and that the weather had penetrated calf half bloods borders, it was now snowing. As I walked I got a couple of bad looks from many people, I ignored them and kept on walking.
When I reached the Athena cabin I knocked on the door, all I heard a muffled "Go away!" I kept on repeating this untill she finally gave in. When she opened the door she quickly pulled me in, and when I saw her face I felt more than terrible, I couldn't even describe it. Her whole entire face was red and wet with tears, her nose swollen, a quivering lower lip, and her gorgeous blond hair was all over the place in knots. We sat down on her bed.
"Annabeth, I'm so sorry. Thalia just pulled me in and-"
"Percy, after every thing we've been through, do you think I am that stupid?" Annabeth asked in a depressed voice. "I known you've liked her since the day you saw her, I just didn't know you liked her that much."
"Well I kissed her because she told me that she wanted to, aw, marry me and have kids with me in the future, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings or anything like that." I lied.
"I know Thalia, and that girl needs a hug and a kiss every once in a while." We sat there in silence for at least five minutes when Annabeth finally decided. "You were just trying to help. I forgive you, and it's not like I've never wanted to kiss Nico." She smirked. I smiled back and wiped her tears off her face and leaned in. While I was making out with Annabeth a thought ran through my mind. I know Thalia, and that girl needs a hug and a kiss every once in a while. I nearly threw up in Annabeths mouth.
"Percy are you ok?"
"Um yeah. Well, no, not really not at all, no. A thought just went threw my mind."
Annabeth sighed, "Percy I'm not lesbian don't worry."
"Oh ok, Thank the gods." I smiled.
"I gotta go and wash up. You should leave because I'll be in there for a while." I nodded.
Three Days Later
Me and Annabeth were back to normal, or as normal as you can be when your a demigod. We hang out together, we hugged, we kissed, we made out. But I couldn't help but notice Thalia. She was stuck at Camp Half Blood now that she wasn't a hunter, and no one knew why except me. She didn't come out of her cabin that much, and when she did it was to visit her pine tree, she didn't even eat that much. In other words, she was depressed. And it was all my fault. I remembered what she had said to me, and I felt really bad. But at the infirmiry, that's what I didn't understand. She didn't want me to kiss her, but she wanted me to. Girls.
"Hey Percy, your going to miss dinner!" Annabeth called out to me. I got out of my trance and put on my shoes in my cabin. I . walked out side and saw Annabeth waiting for me.
"Are you always this slow?" She asked, smirking.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I protested.
"You heard me Seaweed brain." She smirked again.
"Whatever." I smiled. We walked up to the pavilion in silence. When we got there We both took our seats, Annabeth with several of her siblings, me all by my self. Thesun was already setting, since it was the winter. I did my burnt offerings and ate in silence, and then listened to Chiron for his daily message of the day. After that I talked to Annabeth for a longtime, kissing in between pauses. When Annabeth said that she had to go to her cabin, I started walking to my own cabin, it was at least 9:30 by now. I looked behind me and saw a silhouette next to Thalia's Pine. I decided to see what was there, so I switched direction and headed toward the massive pine.
When I got there, of course I saw a depressed heap of demigod that I reconized as Thalia.
"Join you?" I asked. She shrugged. I sat down next to her. She was curled up into a ball, her head between her knees. "What's up?" I stupidly asked.
"Gods Percy I don't know! I just lost everything I'd worked for, I don't know where to go, no one even likes me, and I'm stuck at this gods forbidden camp for probably the rest of my life!" she yelled rather harshly.
"Your over reacting," I simply said "Your going to move on, get a job, find someone, start a new life with him. All that fun stuff."
"But not with you?" she weakly asked.
"I didn't say that did I?" I smirked.
"No, Percy, I can't. I can't let you cheat on my best friend, it's not right."
"Ok fine." I gave up "But it's not like you don't want to."
"I know, it's tempting. I think I might be addicted to you."
"Why's that?" I asked
"I don't know? Never mind that was stupid comment. I'll change the subject-"
"No tell me. I read this article that if you keep stuff to your self, bad things will happen. I think it's called karma or something."
"Whatever." Thal rolled her eyes "I told you like fiftty small words and my whole life changed. So I'm gonna start keeping things to myself." She said as a matter of fact.
"Are you depressed?"
"Gods your stupid." I saw a fake smile creep up on her face through the nearly pitch black sky, knowing that she wanted to smile ever so badly, but just couldn't.
"Your a good girl Thal." I said reassuringly.
"What's that supose to mean?"
"You have a good personality. Your kind, smart funny-"
"-single." she finished
"If your so upset just give aphrodite a crap load of chocolate, it always works no matter what." I smiled.
Thunder rummbled in the sky, and Thalia had a small muscle spasm. "Uh, yeah I'll think about that. I better get going, my dad's getting really angry for some reason. Sorry." She got up and walked away, having some sort of swagger that I couldn't comprehend." See you tomorrow." I hopefully called out.
"Whatever Jackson." She said in a sad, somewhat angry tone.
I sat under the tree and thought about what had happened. I told my self that I would do what ever it takes to make Thalia happy again, that was my main priority.
I looked to my right and noticed the camps pet dragon glowing eyes were staring at me. "Hard life isn't it?" I asked.
The dragon grunted and nodded it's head as it soon fell asleep.
