Chapter 5
It was the start of the holidays and Annabeth was excited. It had been two months since Percy left and he was supposed to visit! She'd sent him a few e-mails throughout the term, but got no reply, she had put this down to no internet coverage.
The holidays were three weeks long, during the first week she got more restless as she waited for Percy to return. She began to doubt herself, what if he didn't come? No, he promised! She would say to herself.
Luke, her new friend, called more than once asking if Annabeth wanted to go to the park with him, Annabeth would always say no. Throughout the holidays she cancelled all arrangements she had made with Luke. On the last day of the holidays, she had a meltdown about Percy not coming. Her mother cradled her while she bawled her eyes out.
From then on, each holidays, Annabeth would send emails to Percy and would never get a reply. For the next two years, Annabeth was send less frequent emails to Percy.
Her parents knew not to go into her room when she was in a "missing Percy" mood.
When Annabeth was in year four, an orphan, Thalia Grace, was a new student and became aware of Annabeth's problem and comforted her when Percy was on her mind.
Annabeth also became closer friends with Luke. He would notice that whenever Annabeth was sad, she would reach up to touch the necklace which she always wore.
In year 5, Annabeth's mother, Athena, died. Luke and Thalia were by her side but she knew Percy should have been there. She appreciated what her friends did for her but she couldn't help but long for Percy to comfort her and tell her everything was going to be ok.
She still had hope that Percy would return, but restrained herself to only sending one email per month.
At the end of year 6, Annabeth graduated together with Thalia and Luke. Her father and her to-be step mom, Helen who was pregnant with twin boys, watched proudly. It was the best day she'd had since before he left.
Every year, on the anniversary of him leaving, she would sit on her bed and let down the emotional barriers she had built up since his departure.
She would clasp the photos of them together in her shaking hands. Her vision blurred as tears fell down her face and she began her emotional descent into her deepest darkest memories - the happiest memories she had with Percy.
She would replay the memories over and over until she fell into a deep slumber, way past midnight.
When she awoke, her face was caked with dry, salty tears. Her eyes were red and puffy and she wouldn't go to school that day.
Luke and Thalia dropped by after school to see how she was. And Luke promised her that he would never hurt her or leave her behind or as Percy had done.
From year seven onward, Annabeth refrained herself from sending only one email on the anniversary of that day.
As time passed, Annabeth's memories of Percy started to fade. She remembered his sea-green eyes, his messy black hair and the feeling of close friendship. But some of the details of their experiences were lost in her mind forever. She even forgot where he moved to. The abandonment feeling she resulted in having after he left was slowly beginning to heal with help from Thalia but mostly from Luke.
