Yeah I know you're probably staring at this chapter title like WHAT? BREAK UP? But that's not what happens! Crap! I'm writing another author's note!

"She doesn't know yet?"

"Like I was gonna tell her?"

"Oh yeah, true."

And then we heard it.

"PERCY! PERCY! PERCY! PERCY!"

"And so the torture begins!" Percy said annoyed.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Good luck!" Silena said getting up to find Beckendorf.

"Come on," he said cuddling me up to him. He was taller than me now, so it looked more normal than it would've last year when I was the taller one. We walked down to the magical borders together. I felt him laugh as he saw Rachel's horror stricken face.

"Wha- when?" Rachel demanded.

"Yesterday," Percy nodded with satisfaction.

"You know, I had his heart first, Annabeth! And that will never ever change!"

"I had his heart when we were twelve! Hear that Rachel? Twelve!" Percy laughed, kissed the top of my head and we turned to walk away.

Then he whispered in my ear, "I'm gonna pick you up now, ok?"

"It's cool with me."

So he picked me up newlywed style and we listened to one last attempt catch in Rachel's throat as we walked away.

"Well that's a story to tell our kids!" Percy said. I was still in his arms. I cracked a smile.

"Yeah, if we live that long!"

"I've never thought about that, I guess."

"Well I'd like to try to stay away from that thought, too."

He carried me all the way to the amphitheater for a special meeting. It was a meeting about getting quests. Pretty much boring stuff Percy and I had heard since the day we found out we were demigods. Once we got near the entrance Percy put me down and we laughed. He grabbed my hand and we found seats. While Chiron was talking Percy and I pretty much ignored him until he called us up. We weren't sure about the whole "Oh! We're a couple!" concept, I guess you could call it, in public. So we didn't hold hands or anything, but Grover kept smiling at us like he was willing us to hold hands or something. Then he decided it was enough of nothing and screamed out, "GO PERCABETH!" It totally freaked us out.

"Percabeth?" Percy whispered to me.

"Yeah," I said laughing.

"What is it?"

"You mean Percabeth?"

"Yeah."

"Think about it."

He put on this fake face and pretended he was thinking very hard.

"Oh my gods!" he was freaking out which made me laugh. "It's our..our COUPLE NICKNAME! YES! WE HAVE A COUPLE NICKNAME!" I couldn't stop it. I was going into hysterics as Percy did this little dance and kept chanting "WE HAVE A NICKNAME! WE HAVE A NICKNAME!"

"Since when is this so exciting?" I asked through laughs.

"I don't know! But now I know that we're official!" Percy said. We forgot the whole audience was watching and listening to us. Of course that was only until Silena yelled out, "NOT UNTIL YOU KISS HER!" Poor Percy. He was got so red. Well I'm pretty sure I wasn't less red but still. Then he looked at me with this huge smile, like this giant, massive, immense grin.

"What the heck?" he said casually while running over to me.

He kissed me right there in the middle of everyone. It felt like hours, but it was only a few seconds. The crowd clapped and cheered as we pulled away. But Grover and Silena were clapping the loudest. He picked me up in a hug and we were laughing and smiling.

"GO PERCABETH!" Grover and Silena shouted. Right then and there I knew this relationship was gonna last.

The next day was extremely awkward. Chiron was worried about people getting hurt, cursed, killed, pulverized, maimed, etc. etc. because of me and Percy. We had this whole elaborate, intense conversation on the porch.

"Now I want you to know, I can't picture either of you with anyone besides each other. But this relationship is a threat to the health of camp," Chiron told us. I saw Percy ball his hands into fists, but I tapped him signaling to calm down until we finished this.

"Yeah, we kind of thought about that," I lied.

"So what should we do?" Percy asked trying his best to sound concerned.

"Well, Percy I want you to think about something," Chiron started.

"Which is?"

"Breaking up with Annabeth."

"WHAT?" Percy said getting upset. "How could you even THINK about that? I will never, ever, ever break Annabeth's heart like that! I've hurt her enough already this summer!"

Who said it would break my heart? Well it probably would've.

"Percy."

"Chiron. You don't get it. Someone as old as you wouldn't understand!"

"Percy!" I said. "Let him finish! And don't be mean."

"Well he'd better have a pretty good reason for all of this."

"I do. Think about this. Percy you're a son of Poseidon. Poseidon! You are a big threat. Much bigger than Annabeth. The longer you're with her the more potential she has to get hurt. Percy it might be the only choice you have if you want to keep her alive."

I hadn't really thought about this before. It made sense, but I saved Percy's life as much as he saved mine. This was a lot to take in and I didn't know what to think about it.

"But Chiron," Percy argued.

"Annabeth? What's your take on this?" Chiron asked me.

"I... I don't. I'm not totally sure," I admitted.

I saw Percy's face fall, and I knew that's not what he wanted to hear, but what was I gonna do?

"Annabeth?"

"Yeah, Percy?"

"Are you sure you don't know?"

The truth was I did know. Sort of. But I wasn't sure if that's what I should say or not. I saw where Chiron was coming from, but me and Percy were a team. He would probably die without me. What then? It was possible that I could die without him, too. I was so confused.

"Well... Chiron I totally get what you're saying. But me and Percy. We're a team. He would probably die without me fighting by his side. It's not likely, but it is possible, that I could die without him, too."

"Annabeth, Percy might die without you, but don't you understand that that could be for the better?"

"Hey!" Percy was offended.

"I'm sorry Percy, but it's the truth. So Annabeth would you rather have you or Percy die?" I didn't even have to think about it.

"Me," I said.

"No!" Percy exclaimed. "You can't die. I'd be broken. No, no, no, no! You can't die!"

"Well neither can you!"

"But I'd give my life to save you!" "

If you died to save me, I'd...I'd," I started not sure what to say next. I thought about what I would do if Percy died. I said the first thing that came to my mind. "I'd kill myself, Percy! Just so I could be with you in the Underworld!"

"But you don't deserve to suffer down there!"

"Neither do you!"

"Annabeth, my birth started the end of the world! I shouldn't even be alive! And if you died, I'd die trying to save you from Hades' grip!"

"Percy," I said. My hands shaking I reached over and grabbed one of his. I squeezed it and got up running off to the beach.

See? I told you they weren't breaking up! They were just having an awkward moment. Um BTW some dialogue is super screwy. Like not separate paragraphs. I'm pretty sure you can figure it out though!
