Annabeth's POV
I was angry. However, I wasn't sure at who exactly.
Percy for fighting Luke? Or Luke for causing the fight?
I took Percy to my house to treat the injuries he received from Luke, and once we got there, I made him sit on my couch so I can get the first-aid kit.
I sat down next to him, after giving him a glare.
Afterwards, I took the rubbing alcohol and applied it onto some cotton balls. I grabbed his face gently and pressed the cotton ball onto his cut on his eyebrow.
Well,this is going to hurt.
He hissed in pain so I gently blew on his cut to somewhat lessen the burning and then out a band-aid on it.
Then I moved on to the cut on his jaw and he grabbed my hand from the pain, closing his eyes.
I spoke up and said, "This is what you get for fighting Luke."
He started to say something but I shushed him, which he did.
I applied the cotton ball to the cut on his lip.
I could kiss him right now...WAIT ANNABETH WHAT
I mentally shook my head and attached a band-aid.
I grabbed his hands and his knuckles were bleeding from punching Luke. I cleaned off the blood and wrapped bandages around them. Afterwards, I cleaned off the blood on his nose.
This is a lot of blood he just lost.
I got up and threw the wrappers and cotton balls away.
I don't know why he fought Luke.
I came back to the couch and sat down quietly, staring at the blank t.v screen.
He cleared his throat and spoke up, "I'm sorry. I thought he was going to hurt you and then he called you a slutty whore, which you definitely aren't. That made me angry which led me to punch him."
I looked at him and stared for about a minute.
He's protective.
I spoke up and said, "Thank you."
He nodded and then stared at the blank t.v screen.
I interlaced my fingers with his and rested my head on his shoulder.
Wait, didn't Percy have something to tell me before Luke interrupted?
I asked him about it but he only responded with, "It was nothing."
Something tells me, it was something. He's hiding it. I'll let it go. If he wants to tell me, he will.
I nodded and we stayed like that, in the comforting silence for a long time.
That's when I knew, I liked Percy.
Oh, fuck.
The next day, I thought about my feelings for Percy.
Does Percy like me, though?
Nah, he doesn't.
But then why would he fight Luke for me?
Wait, how can I be sure that he won't do what Luke did to me?
Percy's a good guy, a really good one.
He wouldn't cheat on me or harm me.
You don't know that, Annabeth.
I let out a groan.
This is crazy.
I needed to clear my head so I decided I would go out for a walk through Central Park.
I was walking towards the lake when I heard two voices talking amongst the rocks.
I didn't want to eavesdrop and was about to turn around when I heard, "Percy, how much longer are you not going to tell her?"
Percy?
Now, I should have still turned around and left but it was Percy, so I stood behind a tree.
Percy spoke up and said, "Thalia, I honestly don't know. I'm not even sure she feels the same way towards me, so.."
Thalia? Wait, what? Why is she talking to Percy? Who are they talking about?
"Dude, if you don't go for it and keep waiting like this to tell her at the most perfect time, you could lose her. She could like you back, you don't know that" Thalia said.
God damn, who are they talking about?! Who does Percy like?
"I know, I just...I..I'm afraid to ruin the friendship we have. What if I told her and she didn't like me back the same way? Then, things would be really awkward between us" Percy responded back.
"Percy, you gotta try at least."
"Maybe, I will. But I'm not ready to tell her just yet."
"Then, whenever you're ready. Now, let's continue running" Thalia said.
I heard heavy fast footsteps running the opposite direction and quickly, faded away. I got out from behind the tree and stood there for a couple of minutes, thinking about the possible people Percy would like.
My heart fell as I came up with only one person.
Rachel.
He probably likes her.
I walked to the ice cream shop, thinking about Percy and Rachel together, when I bumped into someone.
"Watch where you're going" I said.
"Same old, Annabeth. Hello."
I looked up and saw someone that I didn't see for a very long time.
Silena Beauregard.
I laughed out loud and hugged her.
"Hi, Silena" I greeted.
She smiled and nodded.
Silena Beauregard used to go to my school. We met when she was a junior and I was a freshman. Last year, I moved on to sophomore and her to senior. By the end of that school year, she had graduated and entered a college based on fashion & clothing. We were great friends and even though, we were total opposites, we got along just fine. Unfortunately, her leaving kept us out of touch.
"So how have you been, Annabeth?"
I smiled and said, "I've been alright, how about you? How's college?"
She nodded and said, "College is absolutely great. I got to design a lot of my ideas and see people wear it. One of my teachers really liked one of them and said that it could become a trend. However, the things about trends is that they're trends. They're popular for some time before something else becomes popular and that trend you started becomes outdated."
I nodded, "Yeah, I get it. It's nice, seeing you happy with what you're doing. Most people aren't."
She nodded and replied back, "Yeah, well. What about you? How's junior year? Meet any cute guys?"
Percy Jackson.
I laughed and said, "Junior year has been good so far. Frustrating but good. I may or may not be liking a guy."
Her eyes lit up and then she told me, "Hold on, let's order something and sit down. Then, you shall tell me everything about this guy."
I laughed and nodded.
Maybe she can help.

And now, I've started telling stories about the one human,
Who seemingly is a thief.
By stealing my heart and not giving it back,
Though, I am not complaining.
A/N: Okay, so I apologize for taking so long to upload this chapter. I had a tiny, tiny writer's block so I spent a day or two deciding on what to write. I hope you all enjoyed this, though. The question I asked last chapter, some of you answered and said that I should wait out on them confessing to each other. I might just do that because if I made them confess now, the story would lose interest and it'll get harder for me to keep writing. But that doesn't mean, I'll wait a long time until I'm ready to write their confession. Give it three to four chapters or so. Love you all! ~ A Lost Teen Writer.
