A/N: Whale. I've had a girlfriend since the last day of August. Those of you following my story, The Agent and The Singer, if any of you are following this story, already know this. She is phantomgal01, so please do me a big favor and go check out some of her stories for me. She has a pretty good variety, in my opinion. (If any of you flirt with her, I will personally murder you. :D)

Also, I had serious writer's block on this, so please don't judge it too harshly. Please? /.\

Annabeth's POV

"Wait, time off, you said? Did I get that correctly?"

"Uh, yes Mrs. Levesque," I said hesitantly.

"Well, now I have no idea who's gonna watch the kids Silena…."

"I'm sorry; I just need some time off. Surely you understand…?"

I heard her sigh into the phone before saying, "Yeah, I understand, but…" another sigh was audible. "I suppose I can drop Matthew and Bobby off at a nursery for the day, at least they'll have other children to play with…." She said, no doubt getting lost in thought as she tried to plan out where the twins would go when I wasn't there to babysit them.

"Like I said, I'm so sorry Mrs. Levesque; I just need to take some time off."

"Do you know how long it might take by any chance…?"

How long it might take to kill the love of my life? Forever… "Um, I have no idea. Maybe a month. Or even two."

Another sigh came from the other end of the phone, making me feel even worse inside for leaving this family when they need a babysitter. I could feel Mrs. Levesque rub her temples through the phone to soothe over a headache.

"Okay. Yeah, sure. Can I just ask why you need all this time off?" she asked me irritatingly, and I understood why. I was basically asking for two months of no work and full pay.

"Uh…well, um…"—to kill Percy Jackson, your old neighbor, before he probably kills me—"just some, er…love life personal matters…."

"You have a boyfriend Silena?" she asked in shock.

Sure, let's go with that… "Um, currently? Sorta. It's, er, complicated…ish." To say the least, I finished in my head.

"Ah…well, I understand to say the least. Frank and I went through some rough times ourselves before we got married. In that case, take off as much as time as you need."

I let out a sigh of relief. Thank GOD Mrs. Levesque was understanding.

"Thank you so much ma'am. I really appreciate it. I'm really sorry too, but—"

"Ah, no. It's fine Silena, really. I totally understand relationship trouble. Please, take as much as time as you need. I wish the best for you two."

That won't help, but thanks anyway. "Thank you Mrs. Levesque." I hung up after that, and grabbed my bags off the ground next to me. I took a large breath, and let out for a while, but it came out all shaky. So I decided to make another call.

It rang four times. I was about to give up when I heard, "What the fuck do you want? I was just with my wife watching a movie."

"I was wondering how I could find the plant you sent to follow him you douchebag. You're the one who put me up to this, so live with it," I said between my teeth.

"Fine. Let me call him, and I'll give you his and Jackson's location." My heart fluttered when I heard Jackson, as did a few butterflies in my stomach.

The phone beeped as the call ended, no doubt Luke calling his plant. I sighed and started to pack my bags for the trip, starting with my clothes.

When I was about halfway through, I got a call. "So, where's the plant Luke?"

"I love you. I'm sorry I have to kill you."

My heart rose to my throat as a choked gasp slipped out of my mouth.

"Hello?" I heard from him. "Silena?—er, I mean, Annabeth…."

"I love you too," I choked out, tears filling my eyes.

"You…you do?"

"Percy!" I heard in the background. "Who are you talking to?!"

"No one!" I heard him scream back. "I have to go. I'm so sorry."

"Percy, wait, I—"

Beep.

"I don't wanna kill you Percy..."
