Hello people of fan fiction! Chapter two is here. :-) I know the chapters are short, but I hope the story isn't terrible! Tell me what you think? Reviews are loved!

''I'll get back to you...I swear.'' Percy wishes annabeth could actually hear him. He wishes he could've said goodbye. He wishes there was at least a way for her to be happy. But no, that's not how the curse work. They have to both be in pain. His eyes get shiny at the thought of her beautiful blonde locks, and her face ghostly in the dim light. He was thinking about the night they got caught in the stables. ''I will not cry,'' he says quietly. ''I will not cry!" He's raised his voice now, cursing himself. He runs a frustrated, worn hand through his messy hair. He has to be strong enough to pull himself together, or he's not nearly strong enough to break this curse. "Anger won't help anything," Leo appears in the doorway. He faces him. "How should you know?" His voice is hoarse, and Broken. He just shakes his head and walks away. Percy sees hurt in his eyes, but he's too busy with his own greif to wonder why. "Leo-" he was gone.


Percy sits on the porch of his mom's apartment, more lonely and full of angst than ever. He's been staring at the stupid stone wall so long he can't stand it anymore. He gets up and grabs his jacket, and heads out the door, shutting it with a slam. He heads down the hall and comes to a stop at the elevator, slamming his thumb down on the 9 button. There's one lady in the elevator with a stroller. Percy slides down the wall and hangs his head. The lady with the stroller is looking at him like he's an alien, but he couldn't care less. The elevator goes ding! and the doors open. The lady smiles nervously and leaves. Percy sighs. He really is turning into an angsty heartbroken weakling. thanks Calypso...tell me, how do you expect this to make life any better for you? You'll still end up alone he thinks bitterly.


Percy wanders the streets, thinking about Annabeth, and Calypso, and after all this time, still wondering why.


You think you have it figured out, you think you know it all. What you don't know is one you care for loves the one who brought you to this awful state.


After about 45 minutes of walking around, trying to clear his head (and failing), he stops at an old cafe' on 73rd street. He walks in the door and is greeted by the cool air from the AC and the smell of coffee beans. It's the most pleasant thing he's seen in so long. But not nearly enough to make him smile. On his way to order a drink, he bumps into someone, and freezes dead in his tracks. He hears a girl gasp. No...it can't be. But he knows her voice all too well, even her gasp. He turns around and find himself eye to eye with stormy gray ones. She breaths deeply and turns on her heels. But before she can leave, he grabs her hand. She turns and slaps him. So hard, it makes a loud smack. Pain fills his cheek, and for a moment he's angry. But that wasn't her. Not really. She turns her head to the right so she's not facing him. There are tears in her eyes. She looks at him and wonders why and how on earth she could love him, then quickly turns her gaze to her shoes, wishing she could keep her thoughts strait. "We can't go on like this." Annabeth whispers.


All the strength and passion deep down in your hearts just might be enough to give you one last precious moment.


He moves in closer to her, but this time she doesn't do a thing. "I know," he answers finally. "Gods of Olympus, Annabeth I know." He entertwines his fingers in her hair, and she grabs his hands. They're so unbeleiveably close now, eye to eye sharing each others air. She touches his cheek. " I'm so sorry..." he presses his lips to hers in a long, slow kiss. After what seems like forever, he pulls away. People are gaping at them. "Those three little words I've been dying to tell you..." he kisses her again. "I love you," he breaths "I love you so much."

She opens her mouth to speak, then collapses into his arms.


Looks like you took your last moment to far, maybe you said too much? Well, that can do it to you, being heartbroken for so long.

Dun Dun Dun... Do you want Leo's POV?
