Special thanks to-

Guest- I'm going!

firefly9917- Yah, here's your chapter!

brittbrat101- You guys sure know how to make me feel bad! In fact, I do have a fairly good reason for not updating, which shall be explained below.

Guest -Thanks! And I am.

PiperGrace938-I shall do that-they are hormone driven though... That was sort of the point.

Guest- But they didn't sleep together...

spiesareawesome- Haha that did make me smile! Thanks!

C.C. Capitols- I have to read that again *Puts in list of procrastination for November* Thank you. I'm just a genius like that. Nothing goes wrong hehe-yet. I can take back those eyebrows just as easily! I love that quote xD.

animelove22-Well I always seem to be sick so IDK.

DarknessBeforeTheLight-To bad. Because I'm evil.

leayonia-Not so much 'keep writing' but 'keep posting'

Forever-Fangirl-PJO-HP- Well kinda. I mean there's not much I can do about it if my brain won't let me fall asleep. Other than going on meds (Which I won't do.) I just sorta have to tough it out.

eukiekoala- OMG WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? Haha but no, they just look the exact same they are not actual twins.

Futurenovelist123 -We did talk about this, I was going to do that which is partially why I put off posting this chapter. I will use that idea later, because they really just had a hormone-driven hookup, even with the tension and foreplay gone. So there's nothing there really.

Guardian'sDragonOfDeath- Thanks.

IzzyQuagmire0907- Yep. Pretty much.

Thanks guys! It took me like twenty minutes to type that all up. AND I AM SORRY, I will explain after this chapter. Here are your cookies:

Percy

I unlock the door and walk into the house then set my bags down. It's been five months, and I expected it to look the exact same as it had been. Instead it was noticeably different. For starters it's decorated for Christmas, there are throw pillows, a new rug and new curtains. A flower pot sits on the windowsill holding an exotic flower, and there's a bowl of fresh fruit on the table. A Christmas tree stands in the corner, alight and decorated, and a few presents sitting underneath. I look in the kitchen, check the fridge which is neat and fully stocked.

"Annabeth?" I ask going into her room, then checking mine. Not here.

I hear the door open and shut, and walk back into the main living area, where there stands Annabeth looking at my bags.

"Hey Annabeth. Back from tour." I say.

She looks extremely elegant, wearing a white and black dress, heels, full makeup and her hair in a side braid.

"I see Percy. Welcome home." She says politely. She then proceeds to take off the heels and set her purse on the dining room table and walk into her room not saying another word to me.

Curious. Why is she being polite, and cold not at all-Annabeth.

I follow her. "What the eff dude?" She asks, looking at me as I enter, seeing as she's wearing more or less a shirt.

"It's not like I've seen you like this before. Your being a bit cold to me I mean I expected some sort of welcome." I say.

"Yeah, I'm not in the mood right now to be all happy-go-lucky." She mutters putting some jeans on.

"What? I mean what did I do?" I ask confused.

"Look, Percy I don't mind. In fact I don't care, and I don't judge. What I do mind, care, and judge you about is the fact you didn't even bother to tell me. I mean-yeah we hooked up once, but common decency."

"Tell you what?"

"Just-you know what just get out of my room okay? Your girlfriend left a note on the fridge and her present is under the tree." She says, pushing me out then closing and locking her door.

Girlfriend? What?

I go back to the tree and look underneath checking each present. Some for me, some for Annabeth from people I didn't know. I spot the one I sent Annabeth, and there's one from her to me. I finally find one that Annabeth placed in the very back out of sight.

TO: Percy

FROM: Rachel. Luv ya!

Rachel? I hadn't spoken to her since we'd broken it off.

I check the note on the fridge, lo and behold a note from Rachel.

Hey babe! I see you haven't gotten around to coming back to your house. I also really like your new roommate! She's way better then the one you had before, what a bitch she was. Anyways love you, see you later!

Rachel.

I knock on Annabeth's door, and she doesn't answer.

"Annabeth was Rachel here? What did she say?" I ask

She doesn't reply so I continue. "You do know I'm not dating her, right?" I ask.

She opens the door. "I thought I knew, I mean your a stand up guy right? Your really nice and sweet and just amazing, but I mean this has happened to me before, and I took the guys word and he actually did have a girlfriend, and I broke her heart. You can't take anything back in this world." She shuts the door again.

"Annabeth... I haven't spoken to Rachel in months."

"You said in that magazine interview that you where in a relationship." Her voice says muffled through the door.

"Yeah. With you." I tell her.

She doesn't reply.

"Annabeth..."

"I have some family coming in tomorrow, they'll be crashing in my room. Just a heads up." She tells me.

"Yeah, fine. Somebody can have my room and I'll take the couch if need be. Now I have to go get an explanation from a certain someone." I say.

Finding that certain someone was harder then I expected. I finally found Rachel at a coffee shop drinking a tea.

"You know the point of coffee shops is to drink surprise... coffee?" I ask her.

"Mmm well somebodies in a testy mood."

"Well I just came back from a long tour and come home to find my roommate pissed at me and I apparently have a girlfriend I didn't know about."

"Oh chill Percy I'm doing you a favor." Rachel says looking me in the eye. I look around, there is nobody since-shocker it's freezing and slushy and we're outside.

"And why exactly is that a favor?"

"Well for starters, I know you're in a relationship and I turned up and said I was your girlfriend, she got totally pissy. So she's jealous. And do you know who her father is?" She asks leaning in.

"He's a politician."

"He's the vice president, and he's running for president of the united states! She's been off the books for a bit, but your going to have all kinds of crazies coming after-" I cut her off.

"No way is her dad running for president."

"He is, and her life is going to be a whole mess come next November. He has damn good chances apparently. I'd kick her out." Rachel advises.

"No, see this is why we broke up. Because you make these plans, and you judge other people. Annabeth can hold her own, you'll see."

"I guess we will. And we broke up because I know when and how to win."

I shake my head. "We're never getting back together. Look up some Taylor swift Rachel." I turn and walk off.

When I get back I find Annabeth with a cup of cereal in hand.

"Annabeth, I'm not dating her. You gotta know that I'm telling the truth."

Annabeth rubs her forehead. "Okay, look, I've been thinking about it and I'm deciding to trust you on the fact that your not dating Rachel. But we're going to have to deal with this after my family because honest to god I can't just say I have a boyfriend or show we're together at all or I am going to be severely interrogated. My family gossips like nothing else."

"Who is coming?" I ask, curious.

"My cousin, cousin in law and their kid are staying with us if that's what your asking. The rest are at hotels. One of my cousins, Dani is getting married Christmas Eve so basically my whole family is London." Annabeth laughs. "Oh with my family they are going to burn down part of London probably."

"Can't wait to meet them then."

"Haha-yeah should be entertaining. My two cousins staying with us know who you are but the rest are clueless to that, they just know your a musician."

"Your hiding a lot from your family."

"Not really."

"I mean we could say that we've been on a couple dates. I mean I don't think I can stay away from you for a week."

"Yeah I doubt you can."

"Is that a challenge?" I ask.

"Yes it is. After tonight, we keep our hands off each other for a week. Drunkenness is iffy we'll visit that when it gets there."

"What happens tonight?" I ask.

"Well I haven't had seen you in five months. You think I'm entering this challenge starving?"

"Good point. So you believe me?"

"There's a line between wanting to believe and actually believing." She murmurs.

"Well where are you?" I ask.

"Exactly on the line."

*Whistles awkwardly* Yep. I know. A week. OKAY I have several reasons.

One: I had this plan for this chapter for this but I decided against it for-reasons. And so this chapter was pre-written so I posted this.

Two: I got an smartphone, and I've been absorbed with that.

Three: I did get injured, and so I spent a few days with a heating pad and daytime tv and it hurt to do anything.

Four: I have been so busy. I'm not even talking about school busy, last week I had consecutive appointments throughout the week, and even if I missed school I couldn't write because I was tired-or drooling from the Novocaine. (You're welcome for that lovely mental image.)

Five: I am doing Nanowrimo. What's Nanowrimo you ask? Well it's National novel writing month. You try and write a 50,000 word first draft within the month of November-because that's totally sane and normal. I got it in my head that if I didn't write for a while I'd be all fresh and ready to write in November! Then my brain started working and I realized I need to be in the habit of writing.

All of that is the reasons why I haven't updated. Okay?! Don't kill me! I will be writing chapters every day (Well, a singular one so it may not be this story.) Until halloween, then for the month of November you probably won't hear a peep from me. I haven't decided, I may not respond to any PMs at all as well. Which saddens me, but I need to do it to keep me from procrastinating. I'll be back in December.

Just wanted to say, you guys are awesome. Review wise, this is my third most popular fic. (Let's see if we can get it in first. We just need another 70 reviews. And 5 or so to get it in second.) And-just thanks.

Sorry for the long A/N!
