I'm alive! I'm still alive! Hahaha Guys, sorry for the late update. Too much projects and assignments... And we have this test again so I really have to study
Annabeth's POV
I woke up in the morning with roses and daisies in my side. I picked them up and found a note beside it. I picked it up and it says:
Annabeth,
Hello babe! Good morning! I hope you like the roses and daisies I picked for you. About yesterday, I'm so sorry babe. Hope you'll forgive me. Eat your breakfast alright? You gonna need some energy. I'll wait for you outside.
Sincerely yours,
Luke.
I smiled at the letter and folded it carefully. Maybe I could give him another chance right? I don't know.
Part of me wanted to forgive him, the other part tells me to break up with him. What should I do? This is so confusing!
But the events yesterday didn't get out of my mind. Luke gripping on my wrists so tightly, Luke slamming me on the tree, Luke almost stabbed my face with his sword, and such
I put my palms on my face and cried. This is what I get for leaving Percy. This is what I get for not choosing him. He sacrificed so much for me; saving me from drowning, being my best friend, saving me from my enemies and many more. What came after me that I chose Luke and not him?
I get out of my bed, wiped my tears, fixed my bed, and combed my hair, washed my face, brushed my teeth, grabbed my dagger and walked towards the door.
I opened the door and to get some breakfast. I turned my head left and right to look for Luke. And I spotted him, eating breakfast with his cabin mates.
I met his eyes. And in those eyes, I can see that he is delighted, happy like he's happy to see me.
He waved his hand and smiled at me. He stands up and extends his arms and run towards me.
When he reached me, he gave me a big bear hug. He squeezed me so tightly that I could hardly breathe
"Luke, can you let me go now? I can't breathe" I said gently
"Oh, sorry" he replied and he let go of me. "It's just that I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." I simply said. For once, I don't want to look at Luke's eyes and I don't know why.
"You ok?" he asked with concern
"Yeah" I replied "Why don't you continue eating breakfast?"
"Oh, I just wanted to give you a big hug"
"Why is that?"
"I don't know. Maybe because I missed you"
"Luke, I didn't leave the camp right? And you can see me every day. Why would you miss me?" I asked
He didn't answer for seconds. He stared at me for about 15 seconds. I just realized that there's a mix of anger in my words. I look at his eyes and I found guilty and loneliness in it.
"Annabeth, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I don't want to hurt you. I never wanted to. And until now, I still don't know why I did that to you. Annabeth, I'm sorry" he said with sadness in his voice. "Will you forgive me?"
"I…. I don't know Luke. I really don't know what to do. It's too confusing Luke" I sobbed "Too confusing" I put my palms on my face and sobbed again.
"So, you want to break up with me?" he asked silently.
"I…." my voice faltered and sobbed uncontrollably. People were actually looking at us, especially Percy. But I can't stop my tears from falling.
I wiped my tears and look at his eyes, his watery eyes. Those tears are gonna fall any second now.
"Yes." I muttered "I want to break up with you"
He nodded like he understands. But his tears are now falling and I can see that he is trying not to sob.
"Ok. So, you're happy now? You can finally do whatever you want right? I know that I'm a cruel, stupid and a ridiculous boyfriend. Aren't I?" He shouted. The camp is very quiet. Probably curious what's going on.
"Don't see it that way. Luke, you just don't understand. I-"
"Yes! That's it. You said it! I really don't understand. I don't get it!" He shouted at my face and walked towards the woods leaving me with the other campers' eyes on me.
I heard him scream and I felt guilty. My hands felt weak and I felt that I'm going to pass out any minute now.
I can do this. I can do this I muttered and sobbed I can't do this
I ran to the beach t release some anger. Other campers' eyes are still on me. Tears are rolling on my cheek and my vision is blurry.
When I reached my destination, I screamed on top of my voice (good things no one's here) I screamed and screamed and screamed.
I began to throw stones in the sea. I chose small rocks and throw it as far as I can. When I can no longer see small rocks, I look for big ones. When I saw one, I picked it up with both hands and swayed it back and forth before I throw it.
I exerted much effort to throw it as far as I can and lost my balance.
When I got up, I felt hands on my arms, trying to stop me. Those hands are similar when I almost drowned, when I tried to find my best friend, when I betrayed him, when he left me.
Those hands turned me around and wrapped me in their arms. I sobbed desperately and his hands rubbed my back.
"Percy…. Percy… I can't" I said between my sobs
"Sssshhh… Calm down wise girl." He replied, rubbing my back.
"I can't *sob* do this! *sob*" I replied "I *sob* can't believe *sob* this!"
He didn't respond. He just stood there, rubbing my back.
"Everything's gonna be ok wise girl" He replied "Everything's gonna be ok"
With those words, I felt calm and relieved. With those arms around me, I felt protected. With my best friend on my side, comforting me, I felt complete.
I close my eyes and I put my arms around his waist and stood there hugging each other for a long time
So, how's that?
Majority wins. Almost, I mean all of you suggested to let Annabeth break up with Luke. So, there!
Lukabeth just transformed into Percabeth!
Please review!
Happy New Year to everyone!
