My spirits immediately darkened and I fought off the tears that so desperately wanted to pour down my cheeks. Thalia saw this and came over to me, giving me a huge comforting hug while telling me how we would fix this and it would all turn out okay. Miss Peppa watched us sadly.
"If it helps, I know he moved to New York. Apparently his mom was relocated so the family had to move." Miss Peppa stated with a sad air.
I sent her a grateful look before leaving the room with Thalia to our first class. Guys wolf whistled at Thalia but she ignored them until a guy was stupid enough to approach her.
"Hey there, you new here?" The guy asked while sending her a huge smile. "I bet you are because I would've remembered a face like yours." He said while this time winking.
Thalia sent him a sweet smile. "Aww me too! I've never seen someone so ugly!" She gushed in a voice that the guy didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or insult. Thalia made it clear though as she sent a high kick into his face while giving a look of pure hatred. I could've sworn the guy whimpered and ran away. That made me laugh but thoughts of Percy still clouded my mind.
The day seemed boring and too long probably because I had skipped so many days recently. School finally ended and Thalia and I were walking home and laughing about how the guy who came up to Thalia earlier kept at least a 10 foot distance from her if at all possible. Thalia was always there for me like a blood sister. She kept my mind off of Percy as she joked around and imitated some of the girls at school. We laughed so hard that by the time we reached her house we had tears in our eyes and aching stomachs. We reached her room and talked some more before Thalia suddenly jumped up and announced we needed fresh air. She suggested a park so I looked through my backpack looking for a sweatshirt I could wear. I tugged something out and found it was Percy's sweatshirt I had "borrowed" after spending the night at Percy's house. It was his swim team one with his last name and number on the back. It smelled like his ocean like scent. My insides froze and my throat constricted as I thought of the memories the sweatshirt held. No, I told myself. No more crying. I looked up at Thalia and she sent me a caring smile before racing me out the door. I ended up putting on the sweatshirt before running out after her.
We ran and ran until we reached the park and then sat down on a bench breathing heavily. We even laughed at the other's faces. We continued catching up on her life until "it" came. Lips were pressed to the side of my face as hands covered my face and a guess who was whispered lightly into my ear. "P-percy?" I squeaked as my hopes rode high. Then the hands were removed from my eyes with a resounding smack and OW. I opened my eyes to reveal an angered Thalia and an even madder James holding what looked to be a bleeding, broken nose. The two glared at each other until James saw me.
"Hey Anniebelle, miss me?" James smirked as much as he could without letting go of his nose.
My spirits dropped as I saw it was him and not Percy. Thalia caught this and again glared at James.
"Hey pretty boy. Lay off of Annabeth unless you want something else broken." She threatened with her scariest glare yet.
He glared at her but backed off slightly. "Whatever, I'll just get her later." He smirked slightly before quickly kissing me and running away. I sat there, drowning in thoughts of someonelse doing the same thing. Thalia sat beside me running through her mental curse list as she used them as adjectives for James. Finally my phone buzzed and I picked it up to hear my dad telling me to come home. I replied I would before closing my phone and telling Thalia I had to go. We got up and walked back to your house. I got my backpack and thanked Thalia's dad for letting me stay over. Thalia walked out with me to the front and saw I was still sad as I thought about how Percy used to kiss me. She gave me a bear hug and told me she'd be there if I needed it. I hugged her back before thanking her and leaving. I trudged home as sad thoughts about my maybe not even existing anymore relationship. Thoughts battled in my head leaving me with something worse than a headache. As I walked I realized that I might just maybe miss Percy. As a friend of course I thought to myself although a voice in my head sang "you're in denial." "Shut up!" I yelled causing a few people to stare at me oddly. I got home and walked in. It smelled like my dad was cooking and I stepped into the kitchen to be greeted by my dad himself. He hugged me and patted me on the head like he did when I was little.
He scanned my face as he gauged my emotions. My dad nodded solemnly before going out to the garage. I stood there confused as he looked so serious and was making a life changing decision. My dad came back and had something in one of his hands. He put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Annie, I love you and if you need someone to talk to, I am always here for you okay?"
He kissed my forehead and handed me an envelope before leaving to his home office
I was curious as I turned it over and looked at who sent it to me. I gasped as I read Percy Jackson. I didn't bother to read the address before opening the envelope at lightning speed and grabbing the letter with shaking hands.
Dear my Wise Girl,
I'm sorry. My mom was relocated to New York. I tried to tell you at the airport but I think you were still upset. Annie, I love you. I really do. I don't know what you think is going on between me and Abby but I mean it when I say you're the only girl for me. That day, Abby came up behind me, putting her hands over my eyes before mimicking your voice. She used Seaweed Brain so I was convinced it was you until I kissed her. Annabeth Chase please please believe me. My life's incomplete without you. I know that's really cheesy but I mean it. I need your smart remarks, intelligence, smiling face, cute laugh, and most of all I need you, and only you Annabeth. Abby can come nowhere close to you I swear. Over here there are like a million of her. It's too bad because I only have eyes for you. I miss you so much that it hurts everyday not being able to see you. I hope for James' sake that he isn't trying to make any moves on you. If he is, I will fly back just to kill him. Please stay mine, Annabeth. I know we can survive long distance, I do. I love you so much Annabeth Chase and my heart will always belong and be waiting for you.
Forever waiting for you,
Percy
I finished reading it and now there were tear stains adding to the already present ones made by Percy. I sank to the floor against the wall, holding the letter tightly while wrapping my arms securely around my knees. I bowed my head and sobbed. I let go and just sat in the kitchen sobbing. How could I be so stupid? Percy was always loyal, truthful, and there for me. Of course he hadn't done anything wrong. I had just been stupid and too prideful to admit it. Why hadn't I listened to him? I regretted being so mean to the boy who truly did own my heart.
