Hi hi! So here is the update! Im sorry i uploaded the chapter 7 to my other story...awkward. Thank you to pure-black-wings to pointing it out.
Well this chap is a little sad because Percy is so sad. Poor baby...Anyways thank you for the reviews! I always love getting reviews.
I just wanted to remind people this is a Percabeth story...not going to give away what will happen but just keep it in mind it's Percy and Annabeth. There may be the slightest Annabeth and Luke (I dont even know their ship name because i hate it so much) But yeah just wanted to put that out there.
So I hope you enjoy the chapter. And towards the end there is a song mentioned which is also the song that is refrenced in Viria's artwork on Tumblr. I love it so much and I love her work and since its Percy Jackson in the art I thought I'd put it with this too. It isnt the whole song though but you should definitely check it out.
Yep so read and review! Thanks!
I dont own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or the Vow.
Percy.
When I woke up that morning I immediately went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Annabeth normally made breakfast for us, but I don't think she'd want to do that since it was her first real day back. And hey who knows, now that she's here she'll maybe start remembering things. Little things would start coming back to her, and then bigger memories like the first time we met, or our wedding…
"Did you make all this yourself?" Annabeth's voice broke through my thoughts.
""Well the potatoes you just heat up and I bought the muffins, but yeah everything else I made." I said grinning that she was finally awake.
"You didn't have to do all this. Thank you."
"Well you normally made breakfast, and I didn't want to make you do it your first day back home. Plus it is sort of an apology for last night. I shouldn't have made you mad." I hoped she wasn't still angry.
"It really is okay. I overreacted. So what do I, well we, do all day?"
"Well today I actually have to go down to the aquarium with Tyson, but I'll be back around four. You normally work in your studio, on designs but it is a mess in there right now so when I get back I'll trying cleaning it up for you to actually be able to see anything." I laughed a little. "But right now I should get going, there is a cell phone on the coffee table in the living room, my phone number along with Thalia, Grover, and Tyson are in there. If you need anything just call." I felt bad that I had to leave but I needed to work and we needed the money. I went over to give her a kiss but hesitated knowing I shouldn't do that. I settled with just giving her an awkward pat on her arm. "Uh, yeah I'll see you later."
I had an unsettling feeling about leaving her, but there really wasn't anything to do. While driving my phone started ringing and Thalia's picture popped up on the screen.
"Hey Thals, whats up?" I said putting my cell on speaker phone and setting it on the dashboard.
"You work today?" She answered back.
"Yeah I do, until four."
"Cool, I'm coming in to see you." She paused then added "So, Annie's back?"
"Yeah she got back yesterday."
"How's she doing?"
"She doesn't remember me Thals. She doesn't remember anything. Our whole lives today, just forgotten." I said my voice cracking. Thalia didn't respond I just heard her breathe heavily. Finally after a long silence she said "Oh Perce I'm so sorry. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know Thalia. I have to make my wife fall in love with me again."
"Listen I'm pulling into the aquarium, I'll talk to you inside." Click and she hung up.
It took me an extra five minutes to get there because I had to pick up Tyson from his apartment.
"Hey Percy, how are you?" Tyson said climbing into the passenger seat .
"I'm okay buddy." I said still upset with my conversation with Thalia.
"How's Annabeth doing?"
"She doesn't remember me Tyson. She doesn't remember any of us."
"Not even me? I'd think she'd remember me." Tyson said with a little laugh.
"Nobody. I don't know what is going to happen."
"Don't worry about her. She's strong and you know that." Tyson said smiling to me and cheering me up a bit.
Walking into the aquarium Thalia was already there waiting, Grover was with her and they seemed to be arguing over something. Once they saw me they stopped and walked towards the two of us.
Before anyone even said anything Thalia engulfed me in a warm hug.
"Thanks Thals." I said when we broke apart.
"What are we going to do Perce?" Grover said.
"There isn't anything we can do. The doctor said her memory would improve with time. She was in the hospital for weeks and she didn't remember me at all. When she first saw me she thought I was her doctor. Now she only remembers the name of Luke. I don't even know who Luke is." I said so frustrated.
"Wait, Luke? Luke Castellan?" Thalia said shocked.
"I don't know. Her dad just mentioned someone named Luke."
"Luke Castellan is Annabeth's ex-boyfriend. She once was talking to me about him. It was after she met you. I'm not sure why they broke up, but they dated most of middle school and almost all of high school before she left to live with her mom." That wasn't good news.
"So Annabeth remembers ex-boyfriend Luke and not you?"
"Well in her mind, its current boyfriend Luke." I said getting angrier and angrier about everything that happened.
"Man this is rough buddy." Grover said.
"Maybe we can go see her and try talking to her? She might recognize us a little bit?" Thalia suggested.
"I don't think she'll remember you guys. When I mentioned you to her she just had a confused look on her face. I think it would be too early for her, maybe come over for dinner tonight?"
"Yeah that could work, and we can try talking and getting her to remember some stuff." Grover said very optimistic.
"But what are we going to do about Luke?" Tyson said.
"Make sure she doesn't see him. If we can make her remember her current life than she will forget about Luke and realize she was only in love with you." Thalia said.
"Whoever this Luke is, I know we can deal with him." Before I could continue the conversation on of the workers came over to me "Hey Percy, glad to see you back at work. I hate to break up your group but we need you at the sea monsters presentation ground floor." I just nodded to him and looked back to my friends. "I'll call you guys tonight." With that I walked away. I was replaying the conversation I had with Thalia in my head. I had to make my wife fall in love with me again.
The presentation was finally over at 3:30, and since my boss knew about the accident he let me leave early. Tyson didn't get out until 5 and I normally just stayed there for an hour to wait for him and look around, but I wanted to get home. So I texted Grover and I asked if he'd pick up Tsyon. He happily agreed to it.
When I got into my car I looked over to the passenger's side seat. The leather had scratches on it from the accident. Why do I even keep this car? I thought to myself. It was just filled with bad memories...No I take that back. Annabeth and I had this truck together for a long time. This was the truck I'd driven in for our first date. This is the truck I had driven to the beach every time in. We had one of our most romantic dates in this car, as weird as that sounds.
When I started the car and the radio immediately started playing. A song we both loved was on; it was How far we've come by Match Box 20. I loved this song and Annabeth would tease me about it saying it was such a boy song, which it wasn't at all. Once I even caught her mouthing the words.
I just sat in my car and carefully listened to the lyrics.
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
I looked over at the passenger's seat missing seeing Annabeth there.
Let's see how far we've come, let's see how far we've come. Well I believe it all is coming to an end. Lets see how far we've come.
I missed holding her hand in mine while we drove. It seems like yesterday we were at the beach. Driving back and kissing in this car.
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know, and I can't remember caring for an hour or so, started crying and I couldn't stop myself, I started running but there's nowhere to run to.
I couldn't stand this. What if she never remembers? I needed to stop thinking that! Well…how would I live without her? I could hardly stand a couple weeks without her. I used to have trouble going to work for a few hours without her. I hit my hand against the steering wheel so aggravated with my all the ridiculous thoughts. I hadn't even realized I had been crying…
Let's see how far we've come, let's see how far we've come…
The next chapter is going to mainly just be flashbacks between Percy and Annabeth. I think this story needs a little happiness throughout all the sadness.
so hope you guys liked it and dont forget to leave a review!
Love you guys.
