I woke up with a pounding headache. I could feel my heart beat in my skull. Groaning I sat up in my bed very shocked to see another figure laid out beside me. What did I do last night? I carefully look at the face of the person and see that it's Percy. I look under the covers and let out a sigh of relief when I see that we are both fully clothed. I must have made a noise because Percy started to move and groan.
"Morning," he said. His voice was rough from the sleep. God it was sexy. He pulls me into his chest and hugs me. I have no idea what happened last night but I could get used to waking up to this. I smile to myself.
"Morning," I whisper back. I can feel him smile against my neck as he places a soft kiss there.
"How do you feel?" He croaks.
"Okay. I have a really bad headache though."
"Well I wouldn't be surprised. You drink a lot of vodka." He chuckles slightly as he gets up.
"Where are you going?" He looks over at me, leans down and presses his soft lips against mine.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to get you some aspirin and water." I lay in bed trying to remember what I did or said last night. It's all a blur. I remember the voices talking to me and me wanting to drown them out. I remember the taste of the whiskey and the burning of my throat. After that I don't have any clue as to what I did.
When Percy comes back he crawls back into bed handing me two aspirin and a glass of water. I smile gratefully and take the medicine and chug down the water. I look over at Percy.
"Thanks." I say.
"It's no problem." He replies but I can sense what he's about to ask next. He does deserve an answer. But first I need to know what happened.
"What happened last night?" I ask quietly as if afraid I will disrupt something. He sighs and runs a hand over his face.
"I don't really know. I got a call from you and you were obviously really drunk. I came over and we talked a little bit before we started…." He pauses to kiss my lips. I blush as I realize what he's saying. We had a make out session. "Then you got tired so I took you to your room. You told me stay and I did." He looks a little unsure as he's about to say something but then closes his mouth and looks at me. I groan. "You said something about having a bad day and feeling alone." He draws out the ending waiting for me to finish. I sigh, I have to tell him.
I look at his face and open my mouth. Where should I begin? The longer I look at him the more I realize that I can't do it. He's going to hate me after. He'll never want to talk to me again. Tears weld up in my eyes and I look down ashamed in myself.
"Hey Annabeth. It's okay. You don't have to tell me if it's going to make you cry." He pulls me into a hug and kisses the top of my head. It only makes me cry harder as I grip his shoulders. He needs to know.
"You're going to hate me after I tell you." I whisper hoping he wouldn't hear. He pulls back and looks at me astonished.
"Annabeth nothing you could ever do would ever make me hate you. I –" He was about to say something then closed his mouth. "I really, really like you Annabeth." I look into his eyes and know he means it. My heart warms and I can't help but kiss him. When I pull away he looks at me while our foreheads lean against each other's and whispers, "Please."
I take a big breath and start telling him the story. I told him how yesterday a few years ago two of my really good friends died in a fire, and how my friend Luke came to visit me after. When I got to the point where I told him what Luke did to me I couldn't look him in the eye, but I could see his glare was murderous. I told him how after the act I tried to run away but Luke caught me. I tell him how I was so scared and I did the only thing I could think of doing. "I killed him." I whisper at the end. The tears aren't stopping and I'm not trying to hide them. I expect Percy to leave and say how awful of a person I am; imagine my shock when he hugs me.
"Oh my gods Annabeth. I never knew. I'm so sorry. It's okay what you did. You did it out of self-defense. What he did is unforgivable. He deserves to be where he is. He shouldn't have ever hurt you. You are so strong." He leans back and kisses me deeply. I don't respond. I don't kiss him back, he looks at me with a question in his eyes. "What's wrong?"
I shiver and say, "I shouldn't have killed him. That will always be with me. But a year after his death I tried to commit suicide. I got really depressed after his death and the death of my friends. I felt like I didn't have anyone to turn to. My dad didn't care, neither did my step mom. These voices started coming and they told me everything I hated about myself. They told me I was ugly, fat, and stupid. And I believed them. I started to cut and stopped eating. I lost a lot of weight but the voices still told me how large I was. One day I was in the middle of a break down I passed out from lack of nutrition. I cut my arm deeply and lost a lot of blood. My step mom found me and called an ambulance. Once my parent found out they kicked me out of the house saying they couldn't have someone like me in their household hurting their kids. They told me never to darken their door step again. I walked to a bridge and jumped, but it didn't work. I woke up in the hospital a few days later. After that I moved in with my best friend Thalia in this apartment. I never tried to do that again. I started getting help and I have been clean for a while now. But every year when I think about what I did the voices return. The guilt returns. Everything I moved on from comes back. Yesterday I tried to drown out the voices and numb them. I guess I took it too far." When I look up Percy is staring at me with his mouth open. He doesn't say anything as he leans forward and kisses me. When he pulls away he looks absolutely astonished.
"You, Annabeth Chase, are one of- if not the- strongest person I know. You got better and found help for yourself. It's okay that you still struggle. It's you that is perfect to me. I can't believe what it felt like to go through that alone. But I want you to know that you will never be alone now. I am here and I'm not going anywhere. I lo–" I cut him off as I kiss him. He said the sweetest things. Gods how did I find him? We kiss until my phone buzzes, maybe two hours later, breaking us apart.
Okay! That is it! Sorry I know it's short but I really have to go do my homework now. Hope you liked! Percabeth fluff! Please REVIEW! And until next week….
