Annabeth-3:15

Holy shit holy shit holy shit I'm next I'm next I'M NEXT WHAT DO I DO
PANIC

Percy-3:17

Well, I don't think panicking is gonna get you anywhere. Just take a deep breath. It'll be fine, Annie.

Annabeth-3:17

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT

Percy-3:18

Yes, I do. Have I ever been wrong before?

Annabeth-3:18

You're literally wrong all the time.

Percy-3:19

Okay, that's a discussion for another day. Just go in there and rock their socks off.

And if you don't get Rosie or Kim, then we can burn down the school together.

Annabeth-10:21

Cast list is up. Do I click it?

Percy-10:21

YES, WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME FIRST JUST CLICK THE GODDAMN THING

Annabeth-10:23

Annabeth-7:12

How're callbacks going?

Percy-8:03

Okay, it's down to me and Nico for Nathan, and Luke pretty much already has Sky in the bag. Piper is the best Sarah choice.

Annabeth-8:08

What about Adelaide?

Percy-8:23

It's either gonna be Katie, or this new chick named Rachel, or at least that's what I think her name is.

Annabeth-8:24

Ohhhh, I hope it's Katie.

Percy-8:24

Idk, the new girl is pretty impressive.

Annabeth-12:35
IT'S A HUGE DEAL. I'm so proud of you.

Percy-12:37

I'm proud of us. We're really moving up in the world, huh?

Annabeth-12:37

Looks like it.

Percy-7:32

Dude, Rachel is the best ever OMG.

Percy-8:24

Rachel is like, such a crazy professional but she's so amazing to work with.

January 30th

Percy-6:15

This is literally the best cast I've ever been a part of. Rachel and I connect together so well on stage.

February 2nd

Percy-10:34

Jason thinks I should ask Rachel out... Idk though, I'm kinda nervous.

February 3rd

Annabeth-1:02

Hey, I really need to talk to you

Percy-1:03

Why are you still awake? It's like 1:00 the morning. Don't you have school tomorrow?

Are you alright?

Annabeth-1:04

I don't know, I just really need to talk to you

Percy-1:04

Okay... What's going on?

Annabeth-1:05

I can't tell you through text.

Percy-1:05

Okay, I have rehearsal tomorrow, but I might be able to do something this weekend?

Annabeth-1:06

Never mind. It's not important. Just forget it

Percy-1:06

Annabeth, no. If you're texting me at 1 in the morning then it's clearly important.

Percy-1:09

Are you okay?

Percy-1:14

You're scaring me.

Percy-1:16

Just let me know that you're okay

Percy-1:23

Annie?

Percy-1:31

Okay, I'm coming over.

As quietly as humanly possible, Percy threw on the jeans and hoodie he'd been wearing at rehearsal a few hours before. He slipped a note on the counter just in case his Mother woke up ("Annabeth emergency. Be back soon, I hope. Got my phone.")

Percy could feel his heart beating in his chest as he fumbled the key into the ignition of his black jeep. Carefully backing out of his driveway, he tore off in the direction of Annabeth's house once he was in the clear.

Because he'd only had his license for two months, Percy was sure to keep a lookout for cops. If he got busted driving around past curfew, it was more than just his license at stake.

In a record time of 15 minutes, he pulled onto her street. Even though Frederick and Julia Chase both adored Percy, he knew it probably wouldn't be wise to pull into their driveway and wake the whole house, so he opted for parking about a block away, and then sprinting to her front door.

He noticed that her window didn't have a light on, but he knew that Annabeth was more likely to be typing away on her iPad than reading a book.

After evaluating the situation, Percy thought it best to just send a simple text.

Percy-1:52

I'm here. Come outside. We need to talk.

After an agonizing 30 seconds, the white door slowly creaked open. Annabeth scrambled out, clad in a pair of green plaid pajama bottoms, and a pink long sleeved "Life is Good" t-shirt. Her hair was pulled up in a high pony tail (just like it had been the first time they met, Percy vaguely noted.)

"I-I didn't think you'd actually come all the way here." she muttered out as she met him in the driveway.

Percy felt a rush of relief rush over him, followed by a pang of anger. "Dear God, Annabeth. I thought you were gonna kill yourself."

Annabeth gave a sad light laugh and said "Not tonight."

Slightly bothered by that statement and making a mental note to bring it back up later, Percy decided to get what he came here for.

"Annabeth, what happened?"

"Nothing happened-"

"Please don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying-"

"Annabeth Jane Chase, I know when you're lying, just tell me."

"I'm not lying-"

"Annie, come on-"

"I'm not lying-"

"Just tell me-"

"I'm not lying!" She snapped.

Percy initially flinched at her harsh tone. He wanted to say something comforting, because Annabeth was clearly in distress, but he was too shocked at the sudden outburst to conjure up any words of wisdom.

Taking his silence as a cue to continue, she said "For God's sake, I'm not lying to you. Just like I'm not lying when I say how happy I am that you and Rachel are having fun together. How amazing it is that she's in your life now. Just so fucking happy."

Her voice was broken and Percy could hear her breath deepen as she tried to regain it.

"Annabeth, why can't you just tell me how you feel?"

"Because I can't!" she sneered. "I can't tell you how I feel because it'll just fuck everything up. I can't tell you how in love with you I am because-"

But Percy missed the rest of that speech; he wasn't paying attention. He was too busy replaying those words in his mind.

"Wait-" Percy said, cutting her off mid-sentence. "You're... In love with me?"

Annabeth looked sullen and said softly "That obvious, huh? And look, I know it'll never work out because you like Rachel, and I already threw away my shot-"

Considering neither of the pair had any experience kissing another human being before, the kiss lacked a certain quality, but it was filled with as much passion as you can possibly forge.

Because that's what happens when soul mates find each other at last.

Kind of a short cliche chapter. But every story needs a few of those! Next chapter is when it really picks up (not to mention that my writing will also improve during the next chapter.) So I hope you guys liked the chapter, and I'll see you next time! Please, please, please review! I've got quite a few followers, but not a ton of reviews. It would really mean the world to me. Thanks!
