Annabeth's POV

Once I got finished sobbing I decided to call Thalia.

Hello?

Hey, it's Annabeth.

Oh, hey Annabeth!

Hi Thalia. Could you come over, please?

Sure. I'll be there in 10.

Ok. Bye...

Bye.

She and I have gotten closer ever since we bumped into each other on the first day of school. I found out that she loves the bands Green Day and Twenty One Pilots. I don't see it, but it is what it is.

The sound of a doorbell interrupted my thoughts.

"Hold on," I yelled lamely.

I opened the door to find Thalia holding up bags of food.

Of course.

"Hey, Anna-" Thalia said but stopped talking once she took a good look at me.

"Were you crying?" she asked.

"Oh, no I just dyed my eyeballs bloodshot red," I said sarcastically.

"Ok um ouch," Thalia said looking at her feet.

"I'm sorry. I just went through something and I'm not in the best of moods," I said running my hand through my hair.

Penny does that a lot. It's kind of attractive.

"I can see that. Where's your room?" she asked me.

"Follow me," I said walking upstairs.

Thalia followed me after she closed and locked the door.

"Your bed looks really messy. Either you're a hard sleeper or someone slept here," Thalia said smirking.

"Someone did sleep here," I said.

"Who?" Thalia asked me.

"Penny," I told her.

Thalia gasped.

"Did you guys, you know," Thalia said.

I was confused for a second then she raised her eyebrows suggestively.

"No, we didn't," I said.

"Well, then what happened?" Thalia asked me.

"It's a really long story," I told her.

"I got time," she said.

"I want to get this part out the way first. I'm a lesbian," I said.

"I know," said Thalia.

"So- wait. What?!" I shouted.

"The way you look at girls at this school, especially Penny, it's obvious," she told me.

"Speaking of Penny," I said.

"What?" she asked me.

"When I told her that I was a lesbian she said she wouldn't treat me any differently. Then she ended up spending the night," I said blushing lightly.

"Oooh. I see what going on here. You guys got freaky. In the sheets," said Thalia.

"That didn't happen now let it go," I said.

"What happened?" she asked me.

"I was making pancakes and when I was done I went to check on Penny. She wrote these amazing songs! In fact, I think she left her sheet here," I said turning around to find a sheet of paper. I then handed it to Thalia.

"This is..wow she's incredible," Thalia said.

"My exact words," I told her.

"What happened after you told her this?" Thalia asked me.

I then blushed.

"I know what happened!" Thalia shouted.

"If you say we had sex one more time I'm going to slap you," I said.

"Then tell me," she said.

I took a deep breath.

"I kissed her," I said.

"You did?!" Thalia screamed.

"Yes, I did," I said blushing even harder than last time.

"What happened after you kissed her?" Thalia asked me.

"We ate breakfast, came back in my room and then we had a fight. I asked her if she liked me and she said she didn't know. Then I got mad at her and said some things I regret. The fight ended with her storming out and me sobbing on the floor," I told her.

"Oh, honey," she told me.

"What do I do?" I asked her.

"I honestly don't know," said Thalia.

"Great! Now she probably hates me," I said holding back tears.

"She would never hate you," said Thalia.

"Thalia, you didn't see her when she yelled at me. When she cried. It was horrible. I am horrible," I said crying.

"No, you're not," she said.

"Yes, I am! She was always there for me when I needed it. Then as soon as she says something I don't like, I get angry! As soon as she can't figure out her own emotions, I snap at her! As soon as she runs down those steps I realize what I had just done and try to get her back! But I can't! I pushed her and it's all my fault! I don't deserve a person like her," I said sobbing.

"Annabeth calm down," said Thalia.

I laid my head down on her lap.

"I can't do this without her, Thals," I said in between sobs.

"You really care about her," said Thalia.

"I do," I told her.

"You need to let her know this," she told me.

"I know, but I can't," I told her.

"Yes, you can," said Thalia.

"No, I can't. I don't know how," I said.

We talked for half an hour until her phone rang.

"Hello?...I can't right now I'm busy...Fine I'm coming," said Thalia

"I'm sorry Annabeth I have to go," said Thalia.

"What?!" I shouted.

"I know, I know. I don't want to leave, it's actually pretty nice here," said Thalia.

"I guess so," I said.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow?" she asked me.

"You will if Penny isn't there," I said.

"You're going to avoid her. That's your plan?" she asked me with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't think I can handle seeing her until everything is resolved. Plus it was the only thing I could think of," I said.

"But not apologizing to her?" asked Thalia.

"I said when everything is resolved," I told her.

"That's one of the things that will help resolve your issues," said Thalia.

"I get it! You're right. I just...she probably won't even forgive me. You're her cousin. You know how loyal she is," I said.

"That's true," said Thalia.

"You're not helping," I said flopping down on my bed.

"Hey, Annabeth? I need to tell you something," said Thalia.

I turned towards her.

"Yes?" I asked her.

"As Penny's friend: Do what you need to. Even if you think it will hurt her. She might surprise you. But as her cousin: Don't do anything to push her even further than you already have," said Thalia.

"How will I know when to stop?"I asked her confused.

"Penny is like the ocean, she is unpredictable. But again, like the ocean, there is a line and you always know where to stop," she said saluting.

I sighed.

"Bye Annabeth," Thalia said opening her arms.

"Bye Thalia," I said getting off my bed and giving her a hug.

Thalia then walked out the door leaving me alone with my thoughts. When I heard the front door close, I waited for 30-seconds to make sure she was a walking distance away from the house so she couldn't hear me. I then screamed as loud as I could, hurting my vocal chords. But it felt good to get my emotions out instead of just crying. I then looked to my right and saw my keyboard. I would have played that but I was worn out from...everything.

I really wish Penny was here. She would find a way to make this situation funny or make you laugh when you feel..blue.

Blue is her favorite color.

I really wish Penny was here. Whenever I felt sad, and entertainment was out of the picture, she would just hold me and let me cry. She knew that sometimes that was all you needed.

She was so helpful and caring.

I really wish...I was in her arms. She makes me feel better with the look in her eyes, or smile on her face, or even just thinking about her. She is that person that lights up the room without even trying.

She was so fond of everything and everyone.

I had these thoughts in my head, wanting to cry because she wasn't here. But I couldn't.

I had these thoughts in my head, wanting to get up and run to her. But I can't.

I had these thoughts in my head, wanting to move but in a way, I was paralyzed.

She could always fix that.

But she wasn't here.

Penny..I'm sorry and I miss you...

Sorry for the late, and crappy, chapter! Because of writer's block and school work I didn't have the time. But I decided to squeeze this in my schedule! I hope you like it!
