When I woke up, I quickly rolled off my bed and stood up. As I moved, I winced and cursed. I forgot about my shoulder. I rolled my shoulder a couple of times before I grabbed my towel and I went to the bathroom to get ready for school. Even though I took another shower, it didnt fully heal my shoulder. After a few painful minutes of changing my clothes, I headed down to the kitchen to see that my mom had made my favorite. Blue pancakes. I small smile spread across as I sat down and I inhaled the pancakes. As I was eating, I could feel my mom's eyes watch me. She's probably worried about me. After about 5 minutes of eating I was done and I left to go to I didn't have my car, i was forced to walk and I used that time to clear my thoughts.

As I walked to school, my thoughts drifted off to my wonderful girlfriend, Annabeth. If she saw me now; she would probably scowl me and tell me to be more careful. I smiled. I loved my girlfriend.

After a few thoughts about Annabeth, I saw Goode High to I stopped thinking about my girlfriend and more about how I am going to survive PE today. I didn't bring a note so I would have to participate with everything and knowing my bad luck, we would probably have to do something painful.

As I walked up the steps, I was joined by best friend Nico.

"Sup Percy. You Ok?" he asked me.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said and we started making our way up the stairs and to our lockers. Soon the bell rang so we went to our designated classes. After math history, we had a short break then we headed back to class. I could tell that Nico felt guilty. Oh well. It wasn't his fault anyway.

Then it was reading and language arts. Everything is fine until PE. Then I start to get worried. We have to do sword practice and I would probably get hit on my shoulder. As I made my way to the locker room I saw Nico talking to Mike.

I stared at them for a little while before I went inside the locker room to get changed into my uniform. As u walked in I saw that I was a little late and everyone already started changing. I went to my locker and I opened the door. I took out my shirt before I paused. If I change now then everyone will notice my shoulder wrapped in bandages. Oh well. I thought as I quickly changed and headed out to the gym. What are the odds that they would know that I was attacked? They are just mortals. If they saw, I could just control the Mist.

To my relief, we didn't do anything painful, just listened to Mike talk. He told us the basics about fighting.

After PE it was science then language. Mrs. Flanders didn't really talk to us anymore after what happened the other day so me and Nico got to talk quietly in class. Soon it was time to go home and me and Nico walked home and started our homework.

This went on for about all the way to December. My shoulder has healed and we only got about five more attacks with monsters and we didn't get anything more than a few scratches.

Soon it was Christmas and I was very excited. Annabeth was staying over for the winter break and she would be using the guest room in our apartment. I had also gotten her the perfect gift. I got her an owl necklace with diamond eyes with an owl knife. I took me forever to find a perfect gift. I know that she will love it.

After waiting for 2 long weeks, I drove my blue mustang to the airport to pick up Annabeth. Soon I saw her come out of the building and I started walking towards her so I can take her bags.

"Hi Annabeth" I said to her as I kissed her. I had missed her so much. As I kissed her on the lips I noticed that she wasn't kissing back with all the passion as she used to. I pulled away from her with a worried look on my face.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing Percy just a bit tired that's all." She said.

After putting her bags in the trunk, we drove home. When we got home my mom said hi and that she could make herself at home. Annabeth nodded her thanks and went to the guest room so she could unpack her clothes. After she was done, I asked if she wanted to go to the movies but she declined, she said she was tired to I tucked her in her bed and kissed her forehead and closed the door so she could sleep. I noticed that she was acting a little off but I pushed that thought out of my head. I knew that she would feel better after she had some rest.

After a couple of hours, Annabeth woke up and I went in her room to ask her if she wanted to go the movies with me. As I went into her room I saw that she didn't unpack her clothes. She said that she unpacked though.

That's a bit odd, I thought. Annabeth usually always unpack before she does anything else.

After a couple minutes, we were ready to go to the movies. We decided to watch the movie Immortals.

On the drive there I noticed that she was acting odd today. Soon we got the tickets, we bought some popcorn and we sat down near the front. After about a few minutes, the movie started.

-About two hours later –

After the movies Annabeth and I left the theaters. The movie wasn't that bad but they got a lot of the Greek facts wrong. There were also only two surviving Olympians left. They can't die, they fade but that would be unlikely.

"So… did you like the movie?" I asked her.

"It was fine." She said bluntly.

After that we walked in silence. After I drove back home, Annabeth said hello to my parents and headed to her room for the rest of the night. That's odd I thought. Annabeth always gives me a kiss whenever we go to sleep but I guess she was tired.

I just signed and I went to my room to go to sleep.

This went on for the rest of the week but on Christmas Eve, she talked to me more. While she was talking to me, she acted kind of nervous, but I pushed that thought out of my mind. I was excited, I had another present to give to her today. It was a necklace with a green emerald and a grey stone and it said Wise Girls and Seaweed Brain. I hid her present in my jacket pocket. We kept talking and after about an hour of talking, she excused herself to go use the bathroom. As I waited on her bed, her phone rang. I stared at the phone. Should I get it? After about a few seconds I grabbed the phone and put it against my ear.

"Hello?" I said.

"Um hi is this Annabeth's phone?" a man's voice said on the other end.

"Yes it is. May I ask who's calling her?" I asked politely.

"Sure I am Jason, her boyfriend. Um can you just tell her that I called? OK bye." Then he hung up.

Her boyfriend?! I thought I was her boyfriend. Annabeth was cheating on me. After five years, you think you know someone but you really don't. I was so shocked. Annabeth was not like that.

After sitting there contemplating, Annabeth came out. She saw my shocked face and I still had her phone in my hand.

"What's wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost. I'm guessing that someone called me? Was it my dad?" She asked me.

"Jason called." I said calmly and I watched her facial expression change from worried to shock.

"Who's Jason?" she asked my calmly but I could see the shock in her grey eyes.

"I don't know but he claims to be your boyfriend." I growled back.

"Look Percy, this is not what it looks like." She said to me.

"Annabeth you cheated on me. How could you! Have you forgotten all that we have been to? We have known each other for five years and still you cheat on me!" I yelled at her, anger boiling up inside of me. Fortunately my parents weren't home yet.

"I'm sorry but I don't love you and I only dated you because you saved the world. I love Jason. You didn't even IM me a lot when i was in California. You were suppose to look after me."

"You never loved me? You only did that to make yourself noticed?" I felt heartbroken. I could feel my heart break into a million tiny little pieces.

"No I never loved you!"

I was shocked. How could she do that to me!

"I can't believe you would do that to me. What about all of our adventures we had? I turned down godhood for you!" I said. All of my anger turned into sadness. "I truly loved you. And I wanted to marry you once you were done with college."

I could feel my heart break. Annabeth saw all the hurt in my eyes.

"I'm sorry Percy but I don't love you, I love Jason. I'm going back to California to spend my Christmas with my new boyfriend. Good bye Percy"

I was shocked! As I stood there, she started packing.

I brought the necklace out and I threw it at her.

"Since you never loved me then you can keep that. Just know that I truly loved you."

I could feel the tears in my eyes and I walked out the door and into my car. As I drove around I thought about what just happened. After all we have been though, she didn't love me.

As I was about a block away from my apartment, I saw smoke coming from a building. I suddenly felt a cold chill as I drove home. Soon I saw that my apartment complex was up in flames. My family! I parked the car and jumped out. I had to save them. They would have been home by now. I tried to get inside up there were too many people and firefighters around so I couldn't get inside. Nico! I quickly looked around and I saw him also trying to get inside. I rushed over to him.

"Nico! I need you to shadow travel me inside the building." I said to him.

"But it's up in flames." He said to me.

"I don't care, my mom is in there." I told him. Annabeth wouldn't be in there; she would have bought a plane ticket and be waiting to go back to her boyfriend.

"Fine" Nico said and he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a shadow.

As soon as I was inside is started calling out my mom's name. After about five minutes, I looked back at Nico and I saw him having a hard time to breath. I was Ok because I was the son of Poseidon and I was just a better breather than everybody else but Nico is going to start having some trouble soon.

"Nico get out of here." I said to him.

"What about you?" he asked me.

"I gotta keep looking for my mom." I told him and he shadow traveled away.

I kept looking around and started making my way to the bedrooms. As I stopped in front of my mom's room, Hades appeared in front of my blocking my way from finding my mom.

"Don't go in there Percy." He said to me.

"I have to see if my mom is in there." I said to Hades.

"She is in there but your parents are already dead. They just arrived to the Underworld and I put them in Elysium." He said to me calmly.

"Thank you Lord Hades" I said as tears filled my eyes.

"I'm sorry for your loss. Sally was a wonderful woman." He said as he shadow traveled me next to Nico.

"Sorry about your mom man." Nico said to me quietly.

I didn't say anything. I just lost my mother and my step-dad. I would never be able to see them again.
