Annabeth's POV:

When you wake up hungover, mostly the only thoughts you have are Why does my head hurt? Or What the heck happened last night? You don't expect it to be, Why is my mom standing at the foot at my bed?

Now for normal kids this would be normal, but when you're mom is a goddess, it's a bit of a surprise. But there she was, looking at me with those stern, serious, stormy gray eyes. Athena was wearing a bark blue silk blouse with denim jeans, her curly brown hair was let down so it looked like her shoulders were drowning in a sea of thick curls. Honestly, I had no idea why she was here, but when a god or goddess visits you it's almost never good.

"Mom?" I mumbled confused.

"Annabeth," She said as if she were regarding me or something, like I was a party guest.

"What are you doing here?"

If possible Athena stood up straighter and squared her shoulders even more, "I am not very happy with your choices lately."

"Mom what are you talking about?"

"I am talking about how there is no reason why you should be hurting yourself just to show Jackson you're having a good time without him."

Wow, my own mom thinks I'm hurting. She should know that I'm... that I'm not...I'm not hurting okay? I'm just...

"What are you saying?" I asked, sitting up.

"I'm saying that even though you don't know it yet, I think you still have feelings for Percy. And you liking Ryan is a problem. When you want two different things and you can only have one it creates... problems. It would not be wise to get stuck in between them."

I like Ryan a lot, but maybe that just it, I just like him a lot, I don't love him. Well at least not the way he loves me. What if Ryan was just a distraction from Percy? Like I was on a road trip but took a wrong turn and found a cute little town and stayed a while. As I stay longer I gradually forget about my road trip. Percy is the road trip and Ryan is the cute little town(And lets face it, Ryan is pretty cute.)

"You think I still have feelings for Percy..." I said in disbelieve, shaking my head.

"Yes, I do."

"No!" My mom looked shocked at my reaction. "Four years ago you would have turned Percy into a pile of ashes if you knew that we were in love or something! Now you're jumping to his side trying to convince me to break up with another guy so I can be with him! How would you even know if I still liked Percy or not? Love is not your department, you've been arguing with Aphrodite saying it's 'not logical' since you first became and Olympian!"

"I may not agree with the ways of love but I know my own daughter!"

"Oh so you know me?" I was out of my bed now, facing my mom, completely forgetting she was "all powerful" and just push of one of her right buttons will have me sent strait to Hades... "Because last time I checked the only thing you knew about me was that I love architecture. That's a great start mom, after 19 years you only know one thing about your own daughter."

"Annabeth we will not have this discussion right now."

"I'm sorry but I think we already are! But your right, we won't have this conversation right now so if you could please leave me back to my life that would be great."

"You can not ignore this forever, soon the decision will come and you will have to choose." She said.

I didn't know what she was talking about, but I had an eerie feeling that I would find out soon. But without a good bye my mom disappeared into nothing with a disapproving expression on her face. Gods honestly freak me out when they try to lecture me, I don't like it because more than half the time they're right.

Sorry for the fact that it's a short chapter and Annabeth just randomly flips out over nothing and sorry for the OOC Athena. Had to get this chapter up, so yeah hope you liked it! -Aims
