Annabeth POV:
After I hung up the call with Percy I had no words. I don't know whether to believe Percy or not. I don't think he would ever try to mess with me and Eric's marriage but he is going through a rough time. I decide to ask Eric about it later and I know I have too.
"Hey, Eric?" I say. "Yeah, babe?" "Okay. Please please don't lie to me but...did you go and threaten Percy today? And did you hurt him back before Christmas when he came to my office?" I ask. "Babe-" "Eric, I am serious! Tell me the truth. Did you or did you not threaten Percy?" "Well, yeah I did, but-" "ERIC! I told you not to do anything. I can't believe you would do that! You-Ugh!" I yell at him as I get up leave the room. I go downstairs and grab my car keys. I have to get to go tell Percy I am sorry. I know I should've believed him but I just couldn't. I never wanted to deny the fact that Eric was perfect.
When I get in my car I call Grover hoping that he is still up. "Annabeth? Why are you calling so late? It is almost twelve at night." he says tired. "Grover, I need Percy's address." "You need what now? Percy's address? I will text it to you. Now I am going back to bed." he says as he hangs up. When I finally get to Percy's apartment I run to his door hoping that he is still up. When we were dating he was always up late but I don't know about him these days. I knock furiously and ring the buzzer. Nothing. Just when I am about to give up and leave he opens the door. "Annab-" he tries to say. I run up to him. Instead of hugging him or telling him we needed to talk, I kiss him.
Percy POV:
When I opened the door and saw Annabeth I was really confused. I was even more confused when she kissed me. Of course it was a good kiss though. When we finally stopped she looked at me and had tears in her eyes. When I closed the door behind us we sat down on the couch. "Percy, I am so sorry I didn't believe you in the first place. I just...wanted to believe Eric was perfect." she says. "It's okay, I knew it was a long-shot but I hated not telling you. Annabeth, you are the one I love but I wasn't going to ruin your perfect life with him and Lydia just because he came and punched me." I tell her.
Instead of talking anymore she puts her head on my chest and closes her eyes. I do the same. Putting my arms around her and not letting her go. "I love you, Percy." she whispers in my ear. "I love you too, Annabeth." I reply back.
The next day
"Percy?" I awake to the sound of Annabeth smiling at me. "Yeah?" I say rubbing my eyes. "Its Saturday. You don't have to work." "Yeah, I know." I say. "You were mumbling in your sleep, must-get- to school- on time." she says laughing. "I was?" "Yes, Percy you were." Annabeth says as she puts her hands on my face and brings me in closer and touches her lips to mine. "What about Eric?" I ask her. "Percy, he isn't what I always wanted. You are. I never loved him like I loved you." she says back to me. "Percy, I will be back. I have business I need to take care of." Says as she gets up and walks out the door. My guess is that she is going to go call it quits with Eric but I can't be too sure.
Annabeth POV:
When I get home I see that Lydia is asleep on the couch and I hear Eric in our room. When I get in there I see that he is going through all of my stuff and throwing it in trash bags. "You aren't staying here anymore! You think you can just walk out of this house and go get cuddly with Percy! NO! You can go live on the streets for all I care! Lydia is mine and you WILL show up in court for the divorce!" he yells as he comes over and tries to get his hands around my neck. Being a child of Athena I wasn't going to let him do that. I grabbed him by the arm and judo flipped him.
"REALLY ERIC?! Did you think it would be that easy. Lydia is mine and you are the one leaving!" I yell at him. I prayed to Athena for some help with this one and what do you know, all of his stuff gets put in the trash bags and my stuff is returned to it's rightful place. I say a quick thank-you and then begin yelling at him again. "I will see you in court. Now get the h #$ out of my house!" I say to him as he gets his stuff and walks out of the house slamming the door.
Evidently he went and got the divorce papers this morning and signed them for himself and my half of the papers was on the table in the kitchen. I was more than happy to sign them. Later I went to the court house and dropped them off. Of course I had Lydia with me so I had to watch what I said in the car on the phone with Percy. I had always thought that Percy was just a bad memory that I could block out for the rest of my life but I didn't until now realize, that he was the right choice all along, not Eric.
