A/N Here is another chapter! PLEASE REVIEW!
Annabeths POV
My mind was blank. I was sitting motionless on my couch. My eyes were glued onto that ever longing photo of Percy and I. Him and I were at Camp Half Blood. He was happy as was I. Of course, he was smiling weirdly into the camera, as I was kissing him on the cheek. Grover took that picture. I laughed quietly to myself. I continued to stare at Percys face.
"I did this for you."
Those last words haunt me. 'I Did This For You?' What did he do for me? All he did was make me and my life miserable. Tears formed at the corner of my eye. My whole life died right in front of me. Suddenly my phone rang. For a moment i thought to ignore it, but as i always do, i answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey!" a similar voice called
Thalia
"What?" i said rudely
"Um...did i interrupt something?" she snapped
"No...just a little...crabby."
"Percy?" she immediately cut to
"Why do you care?" i almost cried
"Annabeth its been three years! Its time to let him g-"
"I got to go."
"No! WAIT!" she screamed to the phone
"What?" i asked
"Do you need me to come over?"
" 'Need'?"
"Yeah. 'Need'."
"Well..." i thought "Yeah."
"See you soon!" she said happily
"Yeah. Bye." i hung up
When i hung up, i ran upstairs and changed my clothes. I didnt want Thalia to see me in...my dirty clothes. I chose a simple green blouse with dark jeans, followed by a green necklace to complete the outfit. I fixed my hair and makeup and put perfume on. When i went downstairs, the door bell rang.
Perfect timing.
Going at a steady pace, i opened the door with a small smile.
"Annabeth!" she hugged me
"Hey Thals." i said
"You look nice!"
"Thanks." i smiled
"Well...can i come in?" she said
"Oh! Sorry! Come on in!" i laughed
Thalia followed me inside and we both headed to my couch.
"You hungry?" i asked
"No. I already ate before i came."
"Oh."
Thalia looked at me closely and replied "Your still upset."
"About what?"
"Percy dieing."
I was silent for a moment. "What do you expect Thalia?"
"I expect you to MOVE ON! He died three years ago. THREE YEARS AGO. And you still hanging on to him."
"I have to."
"No you dont. If I was Percy...-"
"Well your not." i snapped
"What im trying to tell you that hes gone. Annabeth...i hate repeating this to you. But, he died in your arms. He got stabbed in the chest and bled to death."
"How will reminding me help?" i cried
"Did you see him die?" she asked
"what kind of quest-"
"Answer me." she said seriously
"Ye-Yes." i whispered
"There is my point. You saw him die! So he is in his coffin now and is by no was possible coming back alive."
"What if-"
"No what if's! Annabeth look at me!"
Slowly, my eyes raised back to hers. "Percy is gone."
Angry, i got up and grabbed my picture.
"You see this picture Thalia?" i yelled at her
"Yeah. The picture of you and Percy."
"You want me to let go of him right?"
"Well...yeah." she said
"How about this?"
Quickly, i took one glance at the picture. Then, i threw it against the wall as the glass frame broke into pieces. Thalia stared at the shattered glass then looked at me. I looked at the broken frame and started crying. I sat down on the floor, with tears streaming down my face rapidly. Thalia ran over to me and comforted me.
"Aw...i didnt mean it that way!" she comforted
"Im like glass." i sniffed
"Like what?" she said confused
"Glass. I can...break into pieces. Im fragile. One little thing can...break me." I cried
I got up, and grabbed the photo. My hands were trembling and i held the picture to my chest.
"Annabeth, it hurts me that Percys gone to...but i just look at the facts. Ive got a life to live."
She patted me on the shoulder. "And you've got a huge one ahead of you."
Again, i looked at the picture and replied,
"And so did he."
There is chapter 2! *smiles* please review! Well a reviewer said that i should make it a way that Annabeth could bring Percy back to life. Sorry for this, but NO. The point of this story is how Annabeth moves on. But there WILL be a huge twist. Bad part about the twist though...its at the end of the story. Sorry!
