Sorry that i haven't updated in a week, but school started again and they gave me lots of homework and i had lots of test this week :(
While i wrote this I listened to the song Faithfully from Glee, it brought me very much inspiration, awesome song btw!
Anyway, here is chapter 4! Enjoy :) :)


Once we got at the airport Percy became very nervous. I knew he didn't like to be in the sky, being a son of Poseidon. This was his first time; I've flown lots of times. I had the idea we were missing something. Then it hit me.

"Percy, how are we going to fly if we don't have any money for tickets?" I asked

"Huh? O wait, yes good question" he said dumb.

Seaweed Brain, as always. I didn't say that to him though, that would be too much. I was so happy that he talked to me again, so I didn't want to ruin it. Instead I said:
"I don't think Chiron would send us to the airport without any money or tickets. Check your backpack!" Yes, there they were! "I've got them!" I said relieved.

We boarded and took our seats. The seats were next to each other. I was glad I didn't have to sit alone; I guessed he was too, seeing his nervous expression. But on the other side, it would be weird sitting next to him for at least 5 hours not knowing what to talk about.

But whatever there was nothing I could change about it. Though it was strange being with him like this, not best-friends, not lovers, but just friends, not even friends actually I realised sad. If we didn't have to go on this quest together than we would probably not even speak to each other. I desperately hoped that things would change after our quest.

I looked outside, waiting for the plane to leave. I realised how tired I was when the stewardess gave me a blanket and a pillow. The moment my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.
Two hours later I woke up. My head wasn't on my pillow anymore. But it was on something else. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and realised I slept on Percy's shoulder. Crap!

"Oh shit Percy I'm sorry I slept on your shoulder, I didn't mean to" I said while blushing very hard. I wondered why he didn't push me away.

"Uhh whatever, it uhh doesn't matter, I didn't want to wake you" he said while looking nervous around.
"Percy what's the matter?" I asked worried. Then I saw his face, he was freaking out from the inside, I could tell. "What do you think" he said with a small voice.

"Relax Percy, come on, Chiron said Zeus gave permission" I whispered in his ear, I didn't want to anyone else to hear what I was saying. He jerked away when I came so close.
"I'm sorry" I said with hurt in my voice. I leaned my head against the window again. I knew there would be a point where things would go wrong. It was just his presence, it was becoming too much for me. I couldn't take it anymore; it felt so nice, like it used to be. I wanted so badly to touch him, hold his hand to help him stop freaking out. But I knew it would only do well for me, not for him. Then something odd happened, I felt his hand on my arm, squeezing hard. I looked at him shocked. He gave me a small smile, apologizing. I understood him without words. He was afraid. I let him hold on to my arm, it felt amazing. The place he touched tingled and I felt small lightning bolts shot through my body

Then I had an idea.
I called the stewardess and asked for a glass of water. After a few minutes she came back.
I thanked her and she walked away. "Here, put your hand in it"
"Huh what?" He didn't understand of course. So I grabbed his hand, he froze when I did that. I looked up at him. Our eyes met and we just stared at each other for like a minute. His eyes were so beautiful, I could drown in them. But now it was my turn to jerk away, I didn't want to ruin anything. Like there was something to ruin a small voice in my head said. I put that thought away and put his hand in the glass of water. He immediately calmed down a lot.

His hand slipped of my arm and he said a small "thank you"

"You're welcome" I said while turning to the window again.

****After the flight****

So, we're in the most western part of the USA, but we have no idea what to do next.

It was getting dark so I thought it would be best to set up the tents.

"Let's set up the tents, because I don't know what to do next, we'll figure it out tomorrow"

"Yeah good idea"

Percy took his tent out of his magic backpack.

I searched my bag, but I couldn't find a tent. I only find a note on the place where the tent should have been.
"Dear Annabeth, I didn't pack you a tent because you will be sleeping in Percy's tent. Make things right between you and him! This is your chance, do NOT ruin it, and make the best of it! O and find the daughter of the two gods of course. Good luck girl, love you x Thalia"

"Fuck!" I said out loud, why in Hades did she do this. I'd rather sleep outside then in his tent. Not that I didn't want to sleep in his tent it was just akward after everything we've been through. We just started talking again and now I had to sleep in his tent, crap crap crap!

"What's wrong"? Percy said worried.

"Err well Thalia didn't pack my tent, I guess she forgot or something" I lied. No way that I was going to tell him what Thalia really did.

"Well I guess I'll have to sleep outside then" I continued. I started making my bed near the campfire. "No, Annabeth you are not sleeping outside you can sleep in my tent then I'll sleep outside"

"No no no, I'm the one without the tent so you'll have your tent and I'll be the one who's sleeping outside" I said determined.

"You're not sleeping outside, we we'll sleep both inside my tent then, if you don't mind"

"Err that would be nice, no I guess I err don't mind" I said shy.

"Okay, would you help me put up the tent then?"

"Of course"

After half an hour the camp was set. We laid away from each other as far as possible.

It was weird to be in such a small place together, don't ask me why, I just felt that way.

It was getting really dark now so Percy tried to make a fire. Haha that was so funny to watch, he wasn't doing a very good job. Being a son of Poseidon, the sea-god, he wasn't good with fire. I said without think "Seaweed Brain, let me do it"

He looked shocked at me. Then I realised what I just said, my mouth fell open, SHIT!

"I'm going for a walk" I said fast. I ran away deep inside the woods. Why did I have to say that, why, why,why. It wasn't on purpose it just came out. His presence made me so happy, I turned me the old version of me again, the person who everyone knows.

I was weird how much I had changed this year. It was also strange how fast I was changing to the old me again, how fast we were getting closer. The feelings were to much for me, I started crying again. Like I hadn't cried enough. I hated crying, In the past I never cried hardly ever, but since we, I mean I broke up with him the tears started flowing at the smallest things. It made me feel weak. I didn't like that. I was supposed to be strong.

After a half an hour of useless wandering around I decided it was time to make things right between us. I had to so something, others I'll regret it forever like Thalia said.

I ran back to the camp. I saw Percy sitting with his head in his hand, he looked devastated. I knew my eyes where still red from crying but I didn't mind. It showed how much I meant what I was saying. He looked up, his eyes look also watery. I didn't know why he was at the point of crying but I felt like it was because of me. All I ever did this year was doing him pain. "Percy, I'm so, so, so sorry" I said with a broken voice. He looked surprised. Then he said with a small voice "For what?"

"Everything, I'm sorry for putting you through all this, for hurting you, for breaking everything we had and for letting my guard down again and being to open to you and.. and" I couldn't finish, I started crying out loud now, I couldn't hold the tears back anymore. I collapsed on my knees.

There was so much I wanted to say but I couldn't tell him, I wanted to say that I loved him so much. But I couldn't, I just couldn't.

Percy POV

I was thinking about the past and everything we had been through together. After she called me Seaweed Brain the memories I tried to forget the most just all came floating back.

I felt the feelings again that I avoid to feel. The endless love I felt for the girl that just ran away in the woods. I sat down and put my head in my hands. I wanted to tell her how much I loved her, that I broke up with Leane because I had a sprinkle of hope in my heart when we started this quest, that maybe things would be all right again. I realised that being angry at her had no use, it only made me feel worse. I decided to be nice to her and look what it brought me, more pain. But in a way it did make me feel better. Her presence it made me feel so alive again. It sounded weird and cheesy but it was true.

Then I heard someone walking towards me I turned around and looked up. Annabeth came back, her eyes red, had she been crying? Why? Then she blurted out with a broken voice: "Percy, I'm so, so, so sorry". It surprised me, that was the last thing I expected her to say.

I wondered what she was sorry for. "For what?" I said with a small voice. My eyes burned with tears, gods a boy wasn't supposed to cry. But I'd cried so much this year, it felt weird to cry. But I couldn't express my emotions, so I just started crying sometimes. Then she said:

"Everything, I'm sorry for putting you through all this, for hurting you, for breaking everything we had and for letting my guard down again and being to open to you and.. and" she didn't finish, she started crying. And she collapsed on my knees. I looked at her devastated it literally hurt me to see her crying. I did the only thing I could think of, I picked her up and hugged her hard. My arms wrapped around her waist. She reacted immediately, she put her arms around my neck and hugged me back. That's when I felt the first tear making his way down my cheek. She still smelled the same, and more memories came floating back, I didn't forget them, I never would but I just locked them up I didn't want to think of them, it hurt. Then she said something that surprised me.

Annabeth POV

He hugged me tight. I felt amazing but at the same time I felt absolutely broken. It was weird to feel these to things together. It was like laughing when you cried.
"I don't like Leane" I said in his ear. Where the hell did that came from? I just said it without thinking. "Err sorry I shouldn't have said that"

"No it's okay I don't like her either" he whispered back softly.

"Huh but why are you with her then?" I said confused.

He took a deep breath. "I'm not with her anymore, I was only with because I thought that she would take my mind of err things"

I smiled slightly. I was so happy that he wasn't with her anymore.

I had to tell him something, this was the only way to make things right again. I sighed deep and said: "Percy, I love you; I mean I still love you, I never stopped loving you."
