Who all commented on the last chapters! Your reviews really helped me and inspired me to continue writing Caleo moments.
And I promise you that it is Leo's POV next chapter, and there are Caleo Moments! It might take a few days to put the last couple pages in, so don't be angry, I warned in advance!

Annabeth
Annabeth was worried about her boyfriend, as always.
They usually slept in the same room, especially now that Coach Hedge wasn't there screaming at them, waving his bat. Sometimes they went down to the stables and stayed there for the night, like they had before Rome.
But now Percy, as soon as Annabeth was comfortable resting on his shoulder, had said, "I'll be right back," and sped walk out the door.
Annabeth tried just going back to sleep, but she wasn't comfortable anymore without him laying next to her. It was stupid. She knew that, but the bed never felt the same without him in it.
She ended up going up to the top deck, to see what was taking him half the night, when Hazel came out of her room, right in front of Annabeth. She bumped into her.
Hazel's hair wasn't nearly as messy as it usually was in the mornings. Annabeth wondered if she had slept at all. Hazel looked worried that Annabeth was out there.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were out here. I didn't think people still monitored the halls." She blushed.
"I'm not. Percy just went up top and I was going to get him . . . why?"
She blushed even deeper. "Oh, I was going . . ." Than Annabeth realized that went Hazel had came out, she had turned towards Annabeth's room. Right across the hall from her room was Frank's.
"Oh. Um, I don't care, I'm not Coach Hedge, and me and Percy stay in the same room, so . . ." Annabeth said, trying to sound casual.
Hazel was from the 1940's. Everything that she knew was based on the time there. So if she wanted to go be in another boys room, it was probably punishable by law at that time.
She blushed even harder. "Okay, um bye then . . ." She walked really casually over to Frank's room. When she knocked, the door burst open like Frank was standing right behind it. Hazel blushed even harder; Annabeth didn't think it would be possible for Hazel to feel more embarrassed than she was now. Annabeth struggled not to laugh.
Hazel gave Frank nervous glances, but he didn't seem to notice. He was jumping up and down like a kid on Christmas Day. Annabeth cleared her throat, and Frank froze.
"Um, see you guys later," Annabeth said, barely managing to keep a straight face. Frank was blushing scarlet when Annabeth turned towards the stairs and walked out of the hallway. She met Percy around the corner, and almost ran into him.
"Oh, hey, why are you up? I told you I'd be right back!"
"Yah, you said that about an hour ago. I couldn't get comfortable."
"Sorry," he said, and leaned in to kiss her. Annabeth obliged gratefully.
If the world was ending, she would gladly spend her last few minutes kissing Seaweed Brain. It made her forget everything that was going on, every time.
Annabeth almost pulled him back around the corner, to capture him in her room, but she remembered what had happened a few seconds ago. She peered around the corner.
Hazel was still whisper-shouting at Frank. The colors in their faces almost looked right. For their sake, she said loudly, "Come on, Seaweed Brain." and waited. They both heard a door slam. Annabeth walked around the corner and found the hallway vacant. She giggled. Percy's looked really confused at her. She laughed even more. Now he looked concerned.
"I'm fine, don't give me that look!" she said at him. He sighed, probably wondering how he had ever fallen for her, and followed her to her room.
Annabeth cuddled in closer to Percy.
They were laying in Annabeth's bed, since it was a lot cleaner than his. The room seemed empty to her, though. Ever since she lost her dagger, the one she got when she was seven, and Daedalus's laptop, the room seemed way too plain. It had blank, white walls, only decorated with a photo of her family and of some of her friends.
Percy and her were in one picture, smiling at the camera, Percy's arm around her shoulder. Another showed her old friends Thalia, Luke, and herself as a little girl. They had all gone in one of those photo booths, and even though they looked like they had been wandering lost in the woods for a couple days (which they had), they were all laughing. Then there was a picture of her, Grover, and Percy, when they were at camp. One of the Hecate kids actually made the picture using magic, since they weren't allowed to use electronics inside the camp, since it sends signals to monsters. The most recent one she had was of the crew, standing in front of a ruined Athens building like they were just on a field-trip. In reality it was one of the buildings they had destroyed in the battle against Gaea.
Annabeth's sword was laying on the table. Since her dagger was now probably in use in Tartarus, she had been using the sword that her friend, Damasen the Giant, had given her. It was always nice to know that you weren't going to get stabbed when you were cuddling with your boyfriend. Annabeth had always wondered what would happen if Percy's sword accidentally uncapped in his pocket while they were kissing. She hoped she didn't find out the hard way.
Percy looked down at her, smiling the smile she had learned to love. She stretched up and kiss him on the lips.
Percy smelled like the ocean. Their kiss tingled on her lips even after they broke apart, making her sigh, which made Percy laugh. Seaweed Brain.
Annabeth couldn't compare the sensation of kissing him to anything else in the world. She could only contrast it. Its exact opposite was fighting in Tarturus, without a weapon, alone, and against a horde of angry spiders. The thought actually made her shudder. Percy thought that it meant she was cold, so he grabbed a blanket and pulled it over them.
Ever since Coach Hedge left, he had been spending more and more time in her room. They just sat on the bed and talked, stealing a few kisses from the other every now and again. Percy retold his story about going to Alaska in better detail, while Annabeth told him how his mom was doing.
Percy hadn't been able to talk to his mom in almost nine months, because he had went over to the Roman camp for about eight. They also didn't have a chance to stop in New York and chat as the Romans chased them out of North America.
"So," Annabeth said, "what was that about?"
"Hm?" he mumbled, playing with her hair.
"You know what. Why did you ditch me in the middle of the night."
"Oh, I had to talk to Leo about something." She waited for him to elaborate. He just kept playing with her hair.
Awkward silence.
"If you don't want to tell me, then you don't have to; I just wanted to know why you abandoned me in the middle of the night." Annabeth knew that was low. He was only gone for a hour, but she missed him every minute.
Percy flinched at the statement. "I'm sorry, I just-"
"No it's fine. I didn't mean to say it like that."
She cuddled in closer to him. He looked down at her and kissed her again, but she could feel the guilt mingled within it.
They fell asleep in each others arms.
When they woke up, the ship was stopped. She knew it was still the middle of the night, and that it wasn't possible for them to be at Camp Half-Blood yet. Leo said that they would be there tomorrow, definitely not today. Percy didn't seem to be surprised.
"We've stopped," he said stupidly. How did I fall for him?
"Really? I couldn't tell!" Annabeth said sarcasticly.
"Well, excuse me!" he said, leaning down to kiss her. Her heart started to beat faster. When he broke off, he said, "Come on, let's go check it out."
They wandered on to the top deck, where the rest of the crew had already assembled. It was still dark out, and the moon shined down on the group. She looked around and saw the only one missing was Leo. As she examined her surroundings, she saw a island a little ways away from where they were. And it was the only island in sight. It seemed uninhabited, at least, no buildings on it.
"Where's Leo?" Annabeth asked.
"I don't know, he was gone before I got up here. I felt the ship stop, so I came up to see if there were monsters. The gangplanks weren't even down. We just dropped them."
"Okay, so then what happened?" Piper asked, completely freaking out.
"Piper, calm down. We will find him. He probably went on the island. Maybe he needed some supplies."
"Then why aren't we going to find him? Lets go," Hazel said. Everyone started walking towards the gangplank. Annabeth looked up at Percy. He was looking straight ahead. He had a look of fear and nervousness.
He was hiding something from her. She could see it in his eyes. He knew what was going on. Just as she was about to ask, Hazel cleared her throat right behind her.
I swear to all the gods I will tell everyone on the ship you snuck into Frank's room last night, she thought angrily. She sent the message over with her eyes, and she seemed to get the message.
At least, she went around them.
Annabeth caught Percy's eyes. He looked afraid for her. "What is going on?" Annabeth asked.
"I'm-I'm not sure," he stuttered, trying to get passed her. She backed up and blocked the gangplank.
"Perseus Jackson, I swear to the gods if you don't tell me what you know-"
"Please, I'll explain later. I don't know everything, I know pieces."
Annabeth and him stared down each other. Percy sighed.
"Please, not right now," he whispered. Annabeth had never seen him so sad, except for maybe when they landed in the Cocytus, the river in Tartarus, made of pure misery.
She really wanted to figure out what he was hiding, but he looked like he was about to break to pieces. She kissed him instead.
"Hey," she said, trying to cheer him up, "I love you Seaweed Brain. Don't forget that."
He hugged into her. "I don't think I can."
Together they walked down the gangplank, and stepped on to the beach.
SORRY!
The chapter started getting longer and longer, so I knew I had to stop it. I'll put in another Annabeth chapter soon.
Again I promise you that there will be Caleo moments in the next chapter! I needed some fillers or they wouldn't be as meaningful so don't hate me!
Thank you again for all the comments, along with the follows and favorites. They make me keep writing!
Next chapter will definitely be before next weekend so keep checking for updates.
Thanks again, and comment below,
