Annabeth's POV
Why? Why did he leave me here? My heart sank when I was informed of the terrible news by Chiron. I ran to his cabin, not able to believe that Percy was actually gone.
There was no reason for him to leave, he had a lot of friends here and we were dating. Unless..he was tired of being my boyfriend. The sharp pain in my chest told me not to think such thoughts, and I pushed the idea aside as I entered his cabin.
My knees gave out as I looked around at the empty cabin, all of his things were gone except for some dirty clothes. I realized that the picture of us on the beach was no longer on his nightstand. He must have thrown it away, the tears in my eyes had spilled over. I was right, he did leave because of me.
Two Weeks Later:
Each night I would lay in his bed and sleep in his clothes, needing some sort of connection to Percy. My friends tried to help, but it was no use. Luke tried to get me to move on, saying that's what Seaweed Brain would want. So I stopped talking to my old crush, knowing that I would never be able to move on.
"Chiron?" I called out as I entered the Big House. Staying here with all these memories of what could have been, was more pain then I can bare.
"Yes?" he questioned. His eyes glanced down at the bags that filled my hands, a sad expression crossed his face.
"Please? I would like to return to my father's house," I pleaded. Chiron knew all to well of the pain I was going through, which is probably why he reluctantly complied with my request. I gave him a hug and made my way towards the car awaiting for my departure.
I climbed into the van and thanked Argus for picking me up. He nodded and half smiled, being careful to keep his teeth hidden. The van eased off the grass and we were driving to the airport, I refused to look back at the Camp. Like the old saying goes, its bad luck to look back at what you are leaving behind.
Since I had seen the scenery so many times before, I got bored quickly. My dad gave me an iPod touch for Christmas, I had fallen in love with it quickly. I used the electronic as my source of entertainment, I pushed the headphones to my ears and pressed the shuffle button. Tears welled up in my eyes as "Someday when I stop loving you" by Carrie Underwood flowed to my ears.
One foot on the bus bout half past nine
I knew that you were leaving this time
I thought about laying down in its path
Thinking that you might get off for that
I remember that night we laid in bed
Naming all our kids that we hadn't had yet
One for your grandma and one for mine
Said we'd draw straws when it came time
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
I bet all I had on a thing called love
Guess in the end it wasn't enough
And it's hard to watch you leave right now
I'm gonna have to let you go somehow
Somehow..
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
Ooooh..someday..ohh someday
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
Someday when I stop loving you
My mind refused to take in the words, knowing that my predicament was pretty much the same as hers. I quickly changed the song, knowing that if I allowed myself to listen to it I would break down.
Come on now, did you really expect Annabeth to end up with Luke? ;) Sorry it took so long to post! Thanks again for the reviews! I love reading them! :)
