I Couldn't Love Anyone But You

Percy had to sacrifice himself to defeat her and her army of giants & Annabeth is devastated. 7 years later Annabeth is a loyal member of Artemis's huntresses, but what happens when she finds out that her 'Seaweed Brain' may not really be dead? Rated: T for Language or whatever i decide to put in later. NOT A LEMON! Enjoy! :-D

Chapter 2

Annabeth's POV

"I'm sorry Wise Girl, I love you."

Then he falls to the ground and disappears in a flash of red light.

"NO! PERCY!"

I run to the spot where he was a moment before and fall to my knees. I can't help it but i'm sobbing uncontrollably.

"Percy…no…no…yo-you can't…you promised…you promised you would never le-leave me!….No!"

I keep on sobbing until I feel someone touch my shoulder. I look up and see Piper with tears in her eyes. I look around and see that there are only a few of monsters left in the chasm and are being taken care of by Leo and Frank. Most of them fled after Gaea fell back asleep. I don't understand how. One moment we were fighting and she had knocked me to the ground then I saw Percy…The puzzle pieces were put together inside my mind. Oh gods no… Gaea, Percy, the knife…it all came together…Percy had sacrifice himself to stop her.

I begin to sob even louder. Gaea was about to kill me and then when Percy saw he sacrificed himself!

"I'm sorry Wise Girl, I love you."

I never got to tell him that I loved him too. He probably knew it already, but still…I should have said it.

"I love you too…Seaweed Brain."

I can't stop the tears now. I feel so broken. Percy is DEAD! And it's all my fault! I never should have challenged Gaea. I'm so stupid! A lousy excuse for a daughter of Athena.

Piper sits next to me and comforts me while I cry. I feels like hours later when Jason finally speaks up.

"Annabeth…I'm sorry but, we need to go."

I look up at him and then back at the ground where Percy was. I can't leave! I think to myself. But I know that Jason is right and I can't sit here forever, no matter how much I wanted to. With tears still falling down my cheeks, i ask Hazel and Piper to help me up. As we start to walk I see something colorful out of the corner of my eye. I turn my head to see what it is. A choked sob escapes my lips when I realize that it's Percy's camp necklace. I reach down and pick it up. I try my best not to start bawling again but it's no use. I take a deep breath, put on the necklace, and continue to walk out towards the Argo II. When we get to camp I walk into Percy's cabin and the tears immediately start to fall again.

It doesn't feel real to me. I feel like i'm trapped in some sort of bad dream that i'll wake up from in Percy's arms. But I know better. I know that it's real and that he's never coming back. I will never see him again.

Still, I stay inside his cabin for weeks. Never coming out and sometimes being forced to eat by Piper's charmspeak. I cry myself to sleep almost every night and i'm haunted with horrible dreams. Most of them are about him. Sometimes they will be about Percy dying again or replay his death over and over again in my mind. Sometimes they will be about him being alive or coming back, only to cause me misery when I wake up and realize that he's not there.

My friends tell me that I need to be strong and that i need to get over his death, to move on with my life. They don't understand that I can't "move on with my life" because Percy was my life. I know how cliché it sounds but it's true. When he and I were in the stables on the Argo II and he talked to me about having a life in New Rome, I didn't know what to say really. I knew that we were too young to be thinking about that kind of stuff, but I couldn't help but hope that maybe one day…I'd get married to that green eyed seaweed brain. Now that he's gone I can't even think about "moving on". There is nothing to move on to. I loved him with all my heart…and I can't love anyone else the way I loved him.

There you go. I'm already writing chapter 3 and i'll have it up soon. This time it will still be in Annabeth's POV but 7 years later. OK tell what you think. I don't mind constructive criticism AT ALL! Cu l8r.
