I got in Thalia's car and Bobby and Matthew got in the back. I said nothing the whole ride until Matthew asked me a question.
"Annabeth, where are we going?" Matthew asked tapping my shoulder.
"I have no idea," I replied while looking out the window. "Where are we going Thalia."
"Uh-oh, someone's not happy,"Thalia said. "What's wrong Annabeth?" I didn't answer, I just kept staring out the window as the buildings passed by. "Or don't answer me," Thalia commented continuing driving until she stopped at a restaurant for lunch. She turned off the car and Bobby and Matthew hopped out and ran to the door of the pizza parlor we stopped at. As me and Thalia followed behind them Thalia said,"Why won't you talk to me?"
"Because I told you I didn't want to go out today, I just wanted to stay home and be by myself!" I told her.
Bobby and Matthew were too far ahead to hear our conversation so Thalia snapped,"He's gone, Annabeth. Why can't you accept that?"
I was about to respond when I saw a guy get in his car. I caught a glimpse of him and I swore that he had messy black hair and sea green eyes. He looked around and caught a glimpse of me then shook his head and climbed in his car. I looked and saw that Thalia was waiting by the entrance. I ran up to her and my knees buckled. Thalia caught me.
"Annabeth what's wrong," Thalia asked looking at me with worried eyes.
"Thalia," I said,"I just saw Percy Jackson."

Inside the pizza parlor me and Thalia stood in line to order while my brothers sat at a booth.
"You didn't see him, Annabeth," Thalia stared at me,"you might need to see someone about this."
"I saw him Thalia it looked just like him just aged a couple of years. And what I go see some mortal about this and they ask how he died? 'Oh my boyfriend disappeared in the depths of Tartarus right under Hades' palace can you help me?'." A person in line in front of us turned around and stared at us,"Dude, mind your own business," I said. He shrugged and turned around. "Thalia it was him; he looked at me like he'd seen a ghost then got in his car. I told you he was alive Thalia."
We ordered the pizza and sat at the booth. "Annabeth I think you should forget about it. Move on and maybe I can have an Apollo camper talk to you as soon as possible." That's when we both realized my brothers were sitting right there. We turned around and luckily they were having a conversation of their own.
"Uh, Bobby, Matthew do you guys want to play in the arcade while we wait for pizza?" I asked them and their eyes widened and they nodded their heads eagerly.I handed them money and they ran off. "Thalia, what if he thinks I'm dead?"
"He still would've found like me, or Nico..." Thalia said looking at me with a worried look. "Annabeth you're scaring me, it's like you're hallucinating or something. There's no way you saw Percy Jackson."
"I saw him Thalia and he saw me. I'm going to find him," I said staring off into the distance. "I'm going to find him, no matter how long it takes. I'm going to find my boyfriend."
