AN: I decided to continue this story. So enjoy reading this :D

Annabeth woke up the next day, hoping that it was just a dream.

But she felt so bad for everything. Percy was right. She took him for granted. She readied herself for school and she was shocked to see Percy acting normal in class. It's as if nothing happened. But Annabeth noticed the hollow void in his usually cheerful eyes.

His sea green eyes that never judged her for crying. The same eyes that were burning with anger the night before. His face from last night resurfaced in her mind. She shook it off. Get a hold of yourself, Annabeth, she thought.

The day was so far so good. The first trouble surfaced during lunch. Thalia, her other best friend and Percy's cousin interrogated her.

"So what's with the cold shoulder?"

Annabeth choked on her orange juice. She coughed and reached for her handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"What do you mean?"

"Percy is giving off that vibe. Did something happen?"

"No-nothing" Annabeth said. Deep down, she can't bring herself to believe it. Judging by Thalia's raised brow, neither did she. Annabeth sighed before telling her what happened.

She was silent for a while. This scared Annabeth. A quiet Thalia is a dangerous Thalia. Then, she punched Annabeth's shoulder. Her reaction was just how Annabeth thought.

"That's for hurting my cousin."

Annabeth waited for a while. But Thalia just stood there, as if waiting for more.

"Well, at least tell me you apologized"

"About that-"

Annabeth was cut off when Thalia dragged her towards Percy. She could feel her face burn up in embarrassment. They came to a halt and Annabeth stood face to face with Percy. She could tell that he's feeling uncomfortable. He rubbed the back of his neck and he wouldn't meet her eyes.

"Well, don't just stand there." Thalia whispered. Annabeth wanted to talk so badly, but her voice was failing her at the moment.

"I-I'm sorry" she said in a small voice. "For all what I said last night."

"Its fine" was all Percy said before he turned and left. Annabeth felt the tears about to fall once again. One night, she thought. We drifted that far from each other in just one night. She turned to leave, ignoring Thalia calling for her.

Annabeth's day hadn't improved since then. This happened for the whole week and Annabeth didn't like it one bit. The only good thing it brought was that she forgot about her break up with Luke. She would walk home instead of taking the bus. Being alone helped her clear her head. She would pass by the park where they would play when they were younger. The small ice cream shop down the street where he would treat her whenever her parents argue. It reminded her of him.

After 3 weeks, Annabeth gave up. Percy let go of her and he wasn't planning on going back. At least she wouldn't him anymore. But she can't let go of the feeling of loneliness she would get every time she sees him laughing with his friends. She missed his smile, his hugs and every little thing about him. But she learned to live through it. She's a strong girl. Whenever she asks Thalia about him, she would just say he's fine. How could he be fine? Annabeth thought. I'm nowhere near fine.

A new problem aroused in a form of a rival. A British exchange student came to their school and Percy got along with her quickly. They were too close for Annabeth's taste. The redhead would link her arms around Percy's and the idiot would give her his dazzling smile. How dare she do that? Annabeth can feel the feeling of envy slowly creeping up on her, even if she wouldn't admit it herself.

Then, another problem came. Prom. She was asked by a lot of guys but she didn't agree to any of them. The one guy she wanted didn't ask her and going to prom just see Percy and the redhead flirting would just kill her. But her friends insisted so she was stuck in the boring event. Thalia was her partner and nobody even said anything. Probably because they didn't have the guts to do so.

Just like she thought, Percy was there with his new friend, laughing and not caring at all. At last he found someone who appreciated him, she thought. Why can't I just be happy for him?

After a couple of hours, she decided to leave. She can't take it anymore. After bidding her friends good night, she proceeded to go out. And by her luck she saw Percy and the redhead making out. Her eyes stung, tears starting to form. Percy pulled away, but the girl pulled him to another deep kiss. Percy pushed her away, the girl was hurt obviously, so she left.

"Sorry to disturb you. You should go apologize to her."

"No- I- This is just a misunderstanding. She kissed me but I-"

"No need to explain. I'm happy for you." Annabeth said as she went to her car, tears about to fall but she didn't care. He can't see her like this.

"Annabeth wait!" he ran after her, but she never looked back.

She quickly got to her car and drove home. Percy was right behind her. She was crying now. She couldn't bring herself to care. Then she heard a loud crash as she crossed and intersection. Her heart stopped. She pulled over and saw Percy's car thrown to the side after being hit by a drunk driver who beat the red light. Some bystanders called the 911 and after a while, they came and took Percy to the hospital.

The amount of blood lost was great and the doctors were frantically trying to save him. Sally, his mom, arrived and saw Annabeth sitting on the bench, face buried in her hands. She was crying ever since they arrived at the hospital, even during the call with Sally. Her prom dress was dirtied and ruined but the girl didn't even care. The doctors then came out of the emergency room. The two women shot their feet and asked about Percy.

"He lost a lot of blood but he'll live. He needs to rest for about a week or two, but he has to stay for some examinations."

They were relieved after hearing that. And like what the doctor said, Percy woke up after a 4 days. The hit on his head really took a long time to recover, but his bruises on his body were slowly recovering. But the moment he opened his mouth, Annabeth felt her heart shatter once again. Amidst her joyous celebration of his recovery, he cut him off, a look of confusion clearly seen on his face.

"Excuse me, do I know you?"
