The next one-shot that somehow infiltrated my mind and won't leave until I write it down. So, without further ado, here we go.
Bianca POV
I watch as the love of my life, Percy Jackson, laughs along with his girlfriend Annabeth Chase. That's what I hate. Not Annabeth, the fact that Percy Jackson was taken. I'm all happy for her, since Percy is practically a god, but that doesn't mean that I can't be jealous. It's a good thing that I brought my 'medicine' with me. I continue sipping my punch and watch Percy continue to chat with his girlfriend. Annabeth then excuses herself for some reason, and I make myself over to him.
"Hey Percy," I say
"Hey Bianca," he replied, still looking in the direction of where Annabeth went
"So, Percy," I said, "I love the party."
"Thanks," said Percy, finally looking at me with those gorgeous, sea-green eyes, "I had Annabeth's help as well."
"Just you two?" I asked
"Well, Nico and Grover helped," said Percy, "but they left twenty minutes after they came."
"Typical," I sighed, and Percy laughed, and drank the last bits of his punch
I finished mine as well, and reached out for his, "Here, I'll go fill both of our cups with punch again."
"Thanks, Bi," said Percy, calling me the nickname he so often does
I went over to the punch bowl and I filled up both of our cups with punch. After I filled up Percy's punch however, I added my 'medicine' from earlier. My friend helped me get it to get a chance with Percy, seeing as how she already knew who I always thought about. I guess the multiple posters and pictures of Percy was a dead giveaway.
I walked back to Percy, and saw him talking to Annabeth animatedly. I reached them and gave Percy his punch. He took the punch without looking at me, and still continued to talk with Annabeth
"Do you have to?" he whined
"Yes, I do, Percy," said Annabeth
"Can't you stay a little while longer?" whined Percy even more
"How about this," said Annabeth, with a sly smile, "if you let me go now, then I'll stay all day with you tomorrow, hmm?"
"But tomorrow's Satur—," said Percy before realizing what she meant, and smiled slyly as well, "Of course you can go. Don't be late!"
"Thanks Percy," said Annabeth, rolling her eyes and smiling at the sudden change of behavior.
"What did you put in this punch, Bi?" asked Percy, after taking a sip, "It tastes different than usual."
"I didn't add anything," I said, taking a sip of my punch as well. My friend said to give the 'medicine' a few hours before the party ends, so that I can have 'fun' with Percy afterwards.
Soon, the party ended, and everyone left. I didn't have to worry about Nico since we came in our own cars. I quickly found Percy near the kitchen holding his head. Good thing no one else was here.
"Percy what's wrong?" I asked, though I knew what was wrong
"My head hurts," said Percy
"Why don't you go and lie down," I said, "It might help."
"All right," said Percy, as he went to his bed, still clutching his head.
I followed him there, and saw that he was hallucinating. How do I know? I don't think normal people see 'purple cows dancing the orange on the ceiling's pet rabbit while doing the Macarena' I quickly slid myself beside him on the bed, and wait for him to notice me.
"Are you Annabeth?" asked Percy, when he noticed me, "Annabeth is really pretty and beautiful. She's the best girl-turtle in the world. I don't know what I'd do without her."
"Yes, Percy," I said, "I'm Annabeth."
"Well, Annabeth," said Percy, "Do you want to start tomorrow a little bit early?"
"Why are we still wasting time?" I retort, and soon we started kissing. Though I can honestly say that it didn't stay that way, since we were making out until 3 in the morning. Luckily, his mom and stepfather are on a cruise right now and aren't due to be back for a few more weeks.
After our heated make-out, we went to sleep. When I woke up, I noticed that Percy wasn't there, and there was shouting in the other room. I got up, and snuck a peak outside, and saw Annabeth yelling at Percy (with tears in her eyes, might I add), who just stood there taking it all in, before attempting to tell Annabeth that he didn't remember. Great, this is bad. I hope they don't break up because of this. I guess my wish was ignored as Annabeth shoved Percy before storming out of the apartment.
I opened the door, and made myself known
"Was that Annabeth?" I asked
"Yeah," sighed Percy, recoiling a little as if it hurt to talk about her, "something happened last night, and I don't remember a thing. The last thing I remember was waking up next to you, which I just thought was because there was no other spots available, but I guess everyone had left already."
"Yeah," I said, going along, "everyone did. I think Annabeth might have drove them out."
"Oh," said Percy, "We better get to camp. Chiron said he wanted to talk to us about something."
"Right," I said, remembering the IM that Chiron told us in, "We better go."
When we arrived at camp, after a few near accidents because Percy wasn't paying attention, he parked the car just outside of camp in the camp-provided spots, since some of the kids here can, and do, drive.
We entered camp, and after keeping my stuff in my cabin, I left for the Big House. When I arrived, Chiron was telling Percy that he accidently asked him to come, and sent him to his cabin. I don't think he was paying that much attention, because he just mumbled, and trudged over to his cabin. A few moments later, Annabeth came, and Chiron said the same thing. She didn't look too happy either, since she yelled at Travis for even looking at her. I never thought that this would happen when I made out with Percy
"All right," said Chiron once Annabeth left, "we have to get Percy and Annabeth back together and solve whatever problem caused them to break up."
"This is what the meeting's for?" asked Drew, "because I'd be more than willing to help Percy."
"No Drew," said Chiron, "I think we all know that without each other, Percy and Annabeth are two totally different people."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So," said Chiron, "does anyone know what caused them to break up?"
Even though I was there when they broke up, I didn't speak up because I'm a terrible liar, and they'd be able to see right through my lies.
"No?" asked Chiron when no one spoke up, "well, we'll have to find out, but no one will be ransacking their cabins to find out."
He was looking at Travis and Connor pointedly
"What?" they asked innocently, before Chiron shook his head and dismissed everyone.
Soon it was dinner time, and everyone knew that Percy and Annabeth had broken up. I sat down at the Hades table, and saw Annabeth angrily stabbing her food, while the Poseidon cabin had one less camper there.
Over the next few days, things got worse with Annabeth and Percy, which made me even that much more guilty. Percy is now über depressed and won't talk about anything other than plans on getting Annabeth back (all of which, as he says, 'aren't good enough for a girl like her'), but never acts on them, while Annabeth explodes on anyone who tries and talks to her. Luckily for them, Chiron excused them from any and all activities and gave an excuse to the school for an unknown period of absence due to personal reasons. I think that it was something about a dying family member, but I'm not sure.
Anyways, I was sitting at the beach, with Nico, Grover, Clarisse, Chris, Katie, and the Stolls, and we were on the topic of Percy and Annabeth
"They really need to get back together," said Travis
"I think we've already established that Stoll," said Katie, disdainfully
"We did?" asked Connor, looking clueless, and the fact that Travis did to, made me wonder if they were actually clueless or if they were just 'acting' again.
"Yes," said Katie
"What are we going to do?" asked Nico, "Percy's getting more and more depressed by the day. Yesterday, I asked him if he talked to Blackjack yet, and he said that he'd rather wear boxers than briefs."
"And Annabeth's getting more and more snappy by the day," said Thalia, "She yelled at Malcolm for touching her pencil, and she NEVER yells at someone for that."
"Yeah," said Travis, "Someone has to get them back together again. I can't even get any good pranks in from the Athena cabin or Percy, since Annabeth scares me with her newly discovered never-ending rage and Percy just doesn't react enough for our pranks to work."
"I'll go and see if I can talk some sense into them," I said, getting up, fed up with all that had happened ever since I made my move at that party
"Bianca," said Thalia, "you don't know what you're getting into."
"Trust me," I said, thinking of what had happened because of my actions, "I already do."
I got up and left them all and made my way to Annabeth. If there was any hope of recovering whatever pieces of my relationship with either of those two, the best one to start off with is Annabeth. I made my way to the Athena cabin, and found her working on whatever she was working on at her desk.
When I opened the door, she snapped her head at me and growled, "What do you want?"
"Listen," I said, "I need to tell you something."
"If it's about how I need to have 'anger management' classes," she said, "or how I need to 'loosen up,' I don't want to hear it."
"No, it's not about that," I said, "I know that you and Percy broke up, and that you probably think that he cheated on you after you left, but he doesn't think he cheated on you. No scratch that—he didn't willingly cheat on you."
"What is that supposed to mean?" growled Annabeth, reaching for her dagger
"You know that drink that I gave Percy that he said tasted funny?" I asked, and continued when she nodded, "Well, that's because I added something into it. It was a drug that causes whoever to drink it to have hallucinations, and after you left, it made Percy think that I was Annabeth."
"Why would he think that you were me?" she asked, and I took a deep breath. It was now or never
"Because I told him," I said, and before she could say anything, I continued, "You see, I was obsessed with Percy, and wanted him to kiss me the way he kisses you. I wanted him to love me the way he loves you, and not in a sisterly way, so I drugged him, and a side-effect of the drug is that whoever ingests it doesn't remember what happened while he was on it. So, after you had left and he had finished drinking his drugged punch, everyone had cleared out of the apartment, and I had brought him into his bedroom, where he and I had a heated make up. I understand if you'd hate me, and if Percy'd hate me too, but I'm not asking for you to forgive me or like me or anything. I'm just asking you to forgive Percy, because he did nothing wrong, and even while under the influence, he still wanted you and you only. And frankly, you two are a wreck without each other."
Annabeth was silent for a while, glaring at the dark-haired girl standing in front of her with emotionless eyes.
"Fine," she said after a while, "I forgive Percy, but only because he was the victim."
"Thank you Annabeth," I said, "I'll leave you alone for however long you want."
"Yeah, that's a start," snorted Annabeth, "and now would be a good time to start your promise."
"See you whenever Annabeth," I said, before exiting the cabin.
Annabeth POV
I can't believe that Bianca tried to take Percy away from me, and I blamed Percy for it. Now I feel guilty about it, but I'm going to have to suck up my pride and apologize. As I made my way to Percy's cabin, I started thinking about what Bianca said to me. Even while drugged, Percy still thought of me. Can I feel even more guilty? I guess she was right when she said that we're a wreck without each other. Well, I don't know about Percy, but I have been a bit of more of a wreck than usual. OH, what am I saying? Of course I was a wreck. I snapped at everyone, I was moody all the time, and I doubt that I gave off a pleasant aura at any point since that Saturday.
I knocked on Percy's door, and heard a groan from inside.
"Nico," groaned Percy, "I don't want to come out and eat, I just want Annabeth back. If only I could think of a plan that would be good enough for her, but none of them are good enough."
The last part he said quietly, but I still heard it, and I felt even the guiltiest I have ever felt (and this includes when I left my dad's house the first time) for even thinking that Percy would ever think of cheating on me.
"Percy," I said, "it's not Nico, it's me. Annabeth."
I could almost hear his head snap up from inside. He got up from his bed (I could tell because his bedsprings made some noise as he got up), and I heard his feet as he walked across the floor. He opened the door, and had to shut his eyes closed before they adjusted. He took one look at me, and his jaw dropped. He rubbed his eyes several times before stuttering, "A-Annabeth?"
I guess he wasn't expecting me to come to him first, which is an apt response, since he's usually the one coming to me.
"Yeah," I said, "Listen Percy, I was wrong to break up with you. You didn't do anything wrong. Bianca drugged you after I left, and you two made out a lot. Bianca really liked you, I guess, and wanted you for herself, and she told me that even drugged, you still wanted me. She told me that the drug she used made you have hallucinations, and that you wouldn't remember anything that had happened after you took it. I'm really sorry I made us go through that, and I'd understand if you hate me for this, and—"
I was cut off by a kiss form the guy I love so much. Gods, I can't believe I got through so many weeks without this. How did that even happen?
"Listen, Annabeth," said Percy, after we broke apart, "It's not your fault. It was mine for accepting that drink. I should be apologizing."
"It's not your fault," I said, wondering what I did to get someone who would take the blame for something he didn't do, "You didn't know. Besides, I would have been suspicious if you didn't take the drink. Bianca is your cousin after all."
"Maybe," he said, "but still."
"Can we get back together as if this whole thing never happened?" I asked
"Isn't that my line?" he chuckled
"Shut up and kiss me Seaweed Brain," I said.
"Bossy as always, Wise Girl," he replied. Gods I missed this was my thought as we sealed the start of our new relationship with a kiss.
