He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition.
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him,
I hang on every word you say.

It was a foggy day in San Francisco. Bad day for running, but I had done it anyway just to get away from my family for a while. Bobby and Matt had been driving me crazy the past few days. They were older now, so you'd think that they'd be less annoying.

I guess I was wrong.

I sighed and sat down on a bench. I reached into my back pocket and took out the photo in my pocket of Percy. Where was he? He had been gone for two months without any phone calls, text messages, e-mails, or even Iris-messages. There had been no form of communication whatsoever. I was beginning to get worried.
Just then, an Iris-message formed in the middle of the tree nearest to me.

"Annabeth? Hey!" Percy exclaimed, a grin appearing on his lips.

"Percy? Where are you?" I asked, preening for a better view. I could tell that he was at the beach, in the sand. The sunlight glimmered on the water behind him. Percy was carrying Riptide in his hands.

"Um...wow, it's really foggy over there!" he replied, changing the subject.

"Uh, yeah."

And you smile and say "How are you?"
And I'll say "Just fine."
I always forget to tell you I love you.
I'll love you forever

Percy smiled. "Well, how's spring break?"

"It's kind of boring," I admitted. "I wish you were here."

"Me too..."

"Yep..." The conversation was suddenly awkward, which is weird because we're almost never awkward. It made me hurt inside and a little bit insecure.

"How are you?" Percy asked finally.

"Just fine. You?"

"Great! Grover, too."

"Awesome!" I said, over-enthusiastically.

"Percy!" a light, girly voice called.

"Who's that?" I asked, squinting. I saw a flash of blond hair before Percy stepped closer to the message to block my view.

"Cal- Uh, gotta go! I'll talk to you soon!" Percy said hastily, swiping a hand through the message. I sighed. By the way, I love you, I thought sadly, getting up from the bench and retreating home.

Percy's POV

It was that one day. I was sitting alone in my room when Poseidon glimmered into it. He had told me that the gods were having a dispute about whether Calypso should be allowed to leave her island or not. "I know that you have feelings for her, Percy, and if the girl can trust anyone, it's you. We need to do what's right: set her free," my father had said. I remembered how my heart had stopped when he said, "Calypso." Man, I hadn't thought of her in a while.

"Are you up for the mission?" Poseidon had asked me.

I recalled considering everything. I was at UC Berkeley and it was my freshman year. I was studying harder than ever, and getting no less than a B in my classes. I had plans to be a marine biologist. Mom got pneumonia last month, and she was still in the hospital. Annabeth wanted to spend spring break with me in Disneyland for a day, and then drive around LA. I was angry at my dad for making me choose. I knew how fast time flew when a person was at Calypso's island. I knew that most gods were against setting her free. I knew I'd upset Annabeth if she knew. I never told her about Calypso.

You've got a busy day today.
Go save the world
I'll be around.

"Alright, I'll do it," I had told Poseidon, making a quick decision.

I chose Calypso because, well, it's a long, complicated story. I couldn't deny that I still sort of had slight feelings for her...I mean, one of the most memorable times in my life was on Ogygia, her island. Now, I loved Annabeth, but I still cared about Calypso. She was still my friend.

"Thanks, Percy. I knew you'd do the right thing," he had replied, smiling at me, before disappearing into the air.

I had ONE circumstance: Annabeth could NOT know! But when I said goodbye, I wanted nothing more than to tell her everything. She looked so unhappy, and I knew that she was holding back tears.

And now, I'm on Ogygia, Calypso's island. It was my first day here. Grover's out exploring the nature of the island, while I'm sitting next to Calypso, watching the sunset.

"I thought you'd never come back," she said softly.

"I had to...you couldn't stay here forever," I replied. I had forgotten how beautiful Calypso was. She looked older, as old as I was, but I guess I did too. Her caramel-colored wavy hair was blowing in the breeze, and her pretty mocha eyes were warm and shining.

"I could've, but you wouldn't let me." she smiled. All of my past feelings about Calypso came rushing back. But I couldn't do anything about it. Besides, I was with Annabeth, and I still loved her.

"Thank you, Percy. I know how hard it was to come. I have to admit; Hermes has been visiting me, and delivering news of you. I'm glad that you've come back for me," Calypso said, a gentle tear sliding down her cheek. I reached out and brushed it away with my thumb. She smiled again. But then, I thought of Annabeth.

"I-Calypso, this is hard for me to say. Before I came here, there was this one girl who I liked. Her name is Annabeth. And when I came back, we got back together. I'm sorry, but I can't let her down," I told her.

Calypso's tears multiplied. "I was afraid of this." She stood up and ran away from me.

I chased after her. "Calypso! Hey, wait!"

"All this time, I thought..." It was a blow to my heart when I saw that she couldn't finish the sentence.

"You were always my biggest what-if. Have I ever told you that?" I said, softly.

"Well, here's a what-if. What if I get off this island? What if I finally leave Ogygia? Do you know that I tear up when someone says your name? That I cried almost every day when you left?" Calypso cried.

That stung, knowing that I had broken her heart. With Calypso, she told you what she thought, and she was never angry at me before. But here she was, furious, and I had no idea what to do.

"I'm sorry, Calypso."

"Well, sorry won't cut it," she snapped, and I was taken aback. Gods, this girl has a temper. Just like Annabeth... I walked over to her and put a hand on her tan shoulder.

"You okay?" I asked softly, leading her to a huge boulder. Calypso sat down, and I followed suit. She nodded, wiping the tears away.

"It is alright. Maybe it is best that I stay here forever. Besides, I've been alone longer than I can remember. But of all the heroes that have washed up on here, you were the only one that I actually could count on to save me. They may have saved the world, but I'm sure that almost all of them forgot about me," Calypso admitted.

"That's not true!" I protested, "How can anyone ever forget about you?"

I watch superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

"It is very nice of you to tell me this, but do not lie. I have watched many heroes go away on missions, promising that they'd find me again. Hercules told me that he'd find some way to come back. Many others have done the same. And I was here the whole time, waiting," Calypso murmured.

I remained silent. Well, she got me there.

"Well, I still cared about you. That's why I came back," I said, trying to ignore any past feelings about Calypso that crept back in.

"But not enough. You love Athena's daughter."

I sighed deeply. Well, I did love Annabeth, but Calypso...with her sweet-smelling long light brown hair, beautiful caramel eyes, and-Percy Jackson! Do not think of her that way. Annabeth, Annabeth, Annabeth. Okay, better. I remembered Annabeth's gorgeous grey eyes...but Calypso...ACK! No wonder why I'm called "Seaweed Brain."

"Calypso... "

"Forget it, Percy Jackson. The Fates aren't on my side, they're cruel. So, maybe this is for the best. I'll see you tomorrow," she responded, lightly touching my hand as she made her way up to her room.

"Bye, Calypso." When I was sure that she had left and was out of earshot, I threw a shell as hard as I could into the ocean. My mind was playing games with me. Annabeth. Calypso. Annabeth. Calypso. I found a coconut and tossed it into the water. But instead of it sinking like I wanted it to, the stupid coconut floated. Grrrr. I felt like singing that song from High School Musical 3. You know, the one Troy Bolton sings when he's confused? I think it's called Scream...Anyway, if I knew how to sing, that song would be perfect for this occasion.

And I know what you're thinking. Why in the world would Percy Jackson be watching High School Musical? Well, my cousin Pepe was watching and I decided to join in and it was the sing along version so I know all the lyrics and...Okay! You got me! I'm a horrible liar! And a man can do what he wants with his life, correct? And that includes watching High School Musical.

But Calypso...what was it about her that I couldn't get over? Just then, Grover trotted over. I realized that he had been hiding behind one of the palm trees.

"Hey man. How much did you hear?" I asked, miserably.

"Not much," he replied. I knew that he was lying. He was a terrible one, just like me.

"I don't know what to do. I miss Annabeth a lot, but when I got on this island..." I sighed miserably.

"The Calypso magic, huh?" Grover smirked.

"You guessed it. I mean, the whole reason we're here is to set her free, but we haven't even got around to it yet! We can't waste time, Grover. A day on this island could be a week back on Earth!" I shouted.

"Whoa, calm down, buddy. We'll save Calypso," Grover said. "Don't worry about it."

Oooooh, a twist! It's not our best, but what do you guys think? Please Review!
