Lost It

Annabeth POV

I was buying thing to make tacos tonight; Percy called and told me tacos sounded good tonight. Tonight was the night where it would only be the two of us. Percy came home a week ago and every night since he been home we had people over or we went out. I was glad that tonight was going to be about us, we make tacos and sit back and put a movie on.

It was been over a year since our wedding and I only seen Percy a couple times after our honeymoon and every time he came home we had plans to see family or friends. It's not like I don't like to see my in-laws. I love Sally and Paul or Nico and Grover, but I would like to see my husband by myself.

I finish making my purchase and start to head home to make dinner for us. I enter our apartment to find Percy gone, but to find a note telling me that Nico and him are going out and he should be back for dinner. I put the note back on the counter and put the groceries away. I pour me a glass of wine before I start to cook dinner.

Dinner was almost done, so I picked out a movie for us to watch. It was one of the first movies we seen when we started to date. I put it in the DVD player before I finish dinner. I look at the clock in the kitchen and think that Percy should have been home by now. Finish everything and make my way over to the couch to wait for Percy to come home.

I watched about two hours of TV before I hear the door opening and in walked Percy and Nico. They were laughing about something.

"Did you see the part were he took that man's arm off?" Nico put his arm like he was taking it off.

"I know right. The man scream like a little girl." Percy screamed like a girl. They started to laugh about it. They didn't notice me sitting in the living room.

"Hey, what smells so good." Nico made his way to the kitchen.

"I don't know, but let's go see what it is." Percy followed him into the kitchen. "Tacos," I heard from the other room. "I was just telling Annabeth that tacos sounded good."

"Hey, where is Annabeth?" Nico asked. I didn't hear what Percy said. "Okay." Nico walked out of the kitchen and saw me sitting on the couch with my arms crossed. "Hello, Annabeth. When did you get in?"

I gave him my 'I'm going to kill you,' look. "Hi, Nico. I been here waiting for my husband to come home for the past two hours."

Nico put his plate down. "Percy, I'll see you later." Nico got the hint that I wanted him to leave.

"Why? You didn't eat anything and we were going to watch the game." Percy said, still in the kitchen.

"I just remember I told my dad that I help him with something." Nico made his way to the door.

"Alright." Percy came out of the kitchen. "Bye." Nico left. I hear Percy walking to the living room. I turn to see him stopped in the doorway, looking at me. He smiled and made his way over to me. "Hello, love." He tried to lean down to kiss me but I stopped him. "Did I do something wrong?" Percy asked me, giving me his puppy dog eyes.

I was not going to fall for them. "Percy, did you not call me and said that we should have tacos tonight and it would be the two of us." I didn't wait for him to respond. I got up and stated to pace. "I get home and found a note on the counter telling me that you and Nico went out. I thought okay he will be back home in a little bit and we can have a quiet night at home. No it has been two hours and you finally come home with Nico to watch the game."

Percy had finally had it; he threw his plate down on the coffee table. "Damn it, Annabeth what is your problem. You have never acted this way before. I would go out and you never said anything. Why now are you being a bitch about me going out with a friend?" Percy threw up his arms.

"You want to know." I could feel the tears in my eyes. "Every time you are home, we go out with your parents or with one of our friends. We never spend any time with each other. Then you are off again to the sea." The tears started to fall.

"I'm sorry that my job." Percy stated.

"I know that your job."

"I want to see my family and friends when I come home. And every time I'm home you are working so I make plans to something with someone." Percy was getting louder.

"No you don't, I'm always home for us when you are home. My boss knows that I am a Navy wife and lets me off to spend time with my husband. So don't give me that." I took a second before I continued. "But, what about me, I'm your wife and all I get is you at night when we are sleeping. I don't know if I can keep on doing this."

"What is stopping from leaving?" Percy yelled.

"I don't know but I know that this is not the man I fell in love with. Good bye, Percy." I walked out of our home.

Percy's POV

I stood there after she left trying to figure out what the hell just happen. I came home with Nico and we were going to watch the game. I knew that Annabeth would not mind if I came home with Nico and watched the game. I guess I was wrong, I didn't know that she felt like that. I was spending more time with my parents and friends then with her.

I thought that everything was going great. After the honeymoon, we spent a couple of months together before I had to leave her again. We would talk almost everyday she always sounded happy telling me that was going on at her job and everyone we knew. I would come home and we would see all our families and friends.

I thought back to every time I came home, she was so happy to see me and we would go out with someone. But the last time I came home she was talking about spending time together, I smiled and told her we would have time for that later. Every time we went out the light in her eyes would grow dimmer.

When I came home this time there was no light in them. My mother noticed something was wrong with Annabeth, she tried to ask what was wrong. I told her nothing was wrong, but I guess I was wrong.

I ran my hand threw my hair, took a seat on the couch. I could smell Annabeth on it. I put my head in my hand and let the tears come down. I just lost the woman who was everything to me. How could I not see that she was not happy, I should have known I should have seen it? But I ignored it when I saw it. Now she is gone.

I don't know how long I sat there, but I heard the door open. I look up and saw Annabeth standing there, crying. I got up and made my way over to her. I took her in my arms and let her scent overwhelm me. I cried in her hair.

I pulled apart from her and took her head in my hands. "I'm so sorry that I didn't see." I looked into her gray eyes.

"I should have said something." Annabeth put her arms around me. She placed her head on my chest.

"We need to tell each other how we feel because I don't want this to happen again. I love you too much to let you walk away willingly." I felt her nod in my shirt.

"I love you, too." I led us to the couch; we sat in silence and held on to each other. We spent the rest of the night together.
