Empty Thoughts: Thank you! And in one of the chapters it shows Thalia and the school trying to raise money for Percy's medical conditions, Bianca's funeral, Maria's funeral, and now I suppose Annabeth's medical bill.

Pokemonchen: Will do!(;

greek-ac-thalassa: Thanks! (: And, um, I don't know. Lol. I haven't heard much on Jabs. I have on Jenna, though!

DISCLAIMER: NOPE!

Annabeth's Point of View

"Wait, what?" I said completely amazed.

"You heard me right. Over one million dollars," she said.

"One million," Percy choked out.

"Yeah. Sorry I couldn't get more! I'm leaving soon so-"

"Thalia," Percy said, "that helps out so much that I don't even know where to begin to thank you."

"You are the greatest best friend a girl could ever have!" I exclaimed, giving her a hug.

"I think you deserve an award for greatest cousin ever," Percy added.

I looked over at Sally, who was in tears, and asked, "How much does that cover?"

"All of your medical bills, the funerals, and about half of Percy's bills," she said.

"Oh my gosh! That's amazing! In no time we'll have everything paid off!" I said smiling.

"Yes, but we still need enough money for a new home, money for my wheelchair, and enough money to feed us. Nico and Hazel are going to be sleeping on the floor with the apartment we have now, and I have no idea how I will be able to get around once we finally get me out of here," Percy said.

"It's still better than not having anything paid off," I insisted.

"Guys, I really have to go. I have to go speak at a school. That's how I've been getting the money, and of course Paul Martin has helped out quite a bit," Thalia said.

"Paul Martin?" Percy choked.

"Yeah. He's been helping me raise the money. I have some connections with him," Thalia said. (AN: I do too! From my town, related to my mom's best friend, my teacher's nephew, my other teacher's best friend. Which, for those of you that don't know him, he's on the Pittsburgh Penguins team and was supposed to be in Vancouver for the Olympics in 2010, but he broke his arm. He played in the 2006 Olympics, though!)

"No freaking way!" Percy exclaimed.

"Yes way! Anyways, I really have to get going! Take care! I miss you guys! I'll be back tomorrow morning." With that, Thalia left the building.

"Remind me that I owe her for the rest of my life," Percy said.

"Oh my gosh, Percy! I can't believe her! I knew I had a good choice in friends!" I exclaimed.

"I hope that means me," Percy said.

"You're not my friend, you're my boyfriend. But yes, I think I chose wisely in you," I said, winking at him.

"Well, good. I think so, too," he said smiling.

I kissed him on the lips.

Just then Nico walked in, covering his eyes with one hand and carrying ice cream in the other.

"I am going to erase that from my memory and pretend that never happened. Can I open my eyes now?" Nico whined.

I laughed, "Maybe in a few more minutes."

"Eew," Nico groaned.

"Yes, Nico, you may uncover your eyes now," Sally said from the side, also laughing.

"Thank God," he muttered.

"Nico," Percy started, "You're almost 16. That's when I started dating Annabeth. You need to mature more."

"Nah," he said. "I believe that Public Display of Affection is disgusting. Go get a room, or something."

"We most certainly will not get a room!" I exclaimed.

"We don't need one," Percy said.

"Percy!" I yelled.

"Wow, that came out wrong," he muttered.

"You think?" I asked.

"What I meant to say was that we aren't doing whatever you're implying, Nico," Percy said.

"Well, this conversation turned awkward," Nico said.

"No shit, Sherlock," I mumbled.

"New topic," Percy said. "Did you hear how much Thalia raised?"

"Yeah," Nico said. "I met her at the elevator as she was leaving. She said she's planning on getting at least a thousand more by tomorrow."

"I have no idea what I'd do without her," Percy muttered.

"Ditto," I said.

Sally's phone went off just then.

"Hello?" she answered. She then proceeded into a long conversation of arguing and yelling.

"Who's she talking to?" I asked Percy.

"I don't know," he replied.

The conversation carried on, ending with Sally huffing and agreeing with whoever it was on the other end.

"Who was that?" Percy asked once Sally hung up the phone.

"Oh, nobody," she answered, not meeting his eyes.

"Didn't sound like nobody," he huffed.

"You'll see," she said. "I have to go take care of something. Nico, would you mind coming with me?"

"Sure," Nico said.

"All right. Now, I trust you two will be on your best behavior," she said, giving me and Percy a stern look.

We nodded 'yes' while blushing.

"Okay. I'll only be gone for a few hours. Paul should be back in an hour or two," Sally said, leaving with Nico.

"Well, since it seems you know how to break promises," Percy started, "would you like to break some rules?"

I went over and laid on the side of his bed, carefully moving him and his wires to the side.

"Oh, I don't know," I teased. "Usually I don't go out looking for trouble."

He scoffed, "Oh, really? So you going after a mass murderer was a hobby, I take it?"

I stared at him. I then sighed.

"Percy," I said, "I wasn't even planning on going after Kronos. I was going after Luke. I didn't even know he was working with him. Why won't you forgive me? I'm alive, aren't I?"

He sighed and said to me, "Annabeth, I know that you didn't mean to get shot. Who would? But the fact that you didn't keep your promise to me really upsets me. Don't get me wrong, I am very lucky that you're alive. I don't know what I'd do without you. It's just that there's still that one little thing of you breaking your promise that makes me mad. I still love you with all my heart, I just don't know if I could trust you."

"Okay, I guess that's all I can ask. Maybe in time you'll trust me," I said.

"That sounds good," he smiled.

Then he kissed me. We stayed like that for a long time, then we continued talking. We talked about love, school, our parents, then kissed more, then talked about Thalia, Nico, Hazel, Percy's friends on the hockey team, kissed more. We continued this pattern for an hour. Paul came in and we watched a movie. We watched Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. I laughed so hard! It was actually a pretty good movie, though I liked the Megan Fox ones better. I don't get why they hired her in the first place. They knew how hard she was to work with. Why hire her then just erase her off the movie? It made no sense.

Anyways, once the movie was done, Sally and Nico came in. Nico's face looked pale and Sally had an angry look on her face.

"Mom? Are you okay? What happened?" Percy said.

Sally didn't say anything and just sat down on one of the chairs.

"Nico, is everything fine? Where did you guys go?" I asked.

Nico just stared at me.

"You might as well tell them, Nico. I'm sure Percy has quite a surprise coming up anyways," Sally said speaking up.

Nico sighed then said, "Percy, my dad showed up today. He started apologizing, saying that he just lost touch with my mom and didn't know where to find me, Bianca, and Hazel. He also said something else. Your dad's in town and he's looking for you."

I looked at Percy's paled face. This could not be good.

Dear Lord, why must you keep our lives complicated?
