I do not own PJO or HoO

heres another chapter and I hope you like it. Cause I realized this story has been missing something and I know what it is now. GROVER. I completely forgot about him. But he is back and your ill see more or hear more of him in later chapters.

Percy pov

"GUYS!" I exclaimed running I tot he living room. "What?" Leo asked tiredly. "Your gonna wanna see this I totally forgot about it," I said urging them to get up. They followed stubbornly.

I lead them out the back of the house through the long field, woods, and finally came to a cliff. They looked down at the water below. "How far?" Thalia asked worriedly. "30-35 feet," I informed her. "So why are you showing this to us?" Piper asked.

"Well your the one complaining that it's too hot outside," I informed her. But it really was it was 85 degrees today and it was October. I want cold weather but that means more outdoor swim time.

Then it seemed that they realized I was in swim trunks. I ripped of my shirt purposely showing my ribbed body to the girls. I stepped closer to the edge still facing them. I caught Annabeth staring. She saw that I noticed and looked away blushing. She looked back and I gave her a wink.

"Sometimes you gotta live on the wild side," I stated falling backwards. As I was falling backwards I saw them all rush to the edge and to see me falling.

I did a backflip in the air and landed in the water like a pencil. I could hold my breath for a long time and I opened my eyes to see myself sinking through the water.

Annabeth pov.

We waited for Percy to resurface. 30 seconds passed, then a minute, then a minute 30. "I'm going in after him," Jason said ripping his shirt off. He backed out a little and then ran and jumped in.

Jason pov.

As I entered the water I kept my momentum going down. I searched around for Percy looking for his green swim trunks. Then something grabbed me and pulled me along. I first instinct was to scream but I thought against it to conserve my air.

I thrashed around but whoever's grip on me was tight. As I resisted to scream I was quickly running out of air. Then I was thrust above the water. "Follow me," Percy said motioning me with his hand. I got up and followed him realizing that this was his plan all along.

We circled around the cliff coming up behind the gang. "Do we call the cops?" Piper asked wordily. "Yeah that would be a smart idea," Percy spoke up from behind a tree. "Percy?" Frank called. "Pshhh waaaaa?" He called back nodding to me. "Percy where are you?" Nico called.

I snuck on behind the group all by the edge. "I will reveal my self once you all put your cell phones on the ground and any electronics you may or may not have."

The mumbled but did as he said. He then stepped out with a smirk. "Hey where's Jason?" He asked. Pipers eyes widened as she looked down at the water. That's when I ran from the tree line. They where all staring down at the water. Percy was running also. "RKO OUT OF NO WHERE!" He screamed. They turned around to see us.

I grabbed Piper who grabbed on to Thalia. Thalia grabbed on to Hazel, who grabbed on to Calypso and we tumbled over the edge.

I saw Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Nico, and Leo also falling.

Percy pov.

As we where falling I grabbed Annabeth I pulled her into a hug. We then hit the water and sunk deep. We where slowly starting to rise but I decided to open my eyes. Annabeth seemed to have the same idea.

I kicked upwards so we wouldn't drown. I looked up and we still had another 10 feet to go. I didn't know how long Annabeth could hold her breath so I started to kick faster only for her to hold us back. I moved my arms downwards to sink back to her level.

She rapped her arms around my neck and then motioned for me to go up. I started to move up and we would be there in a matter of seconds. But with Annabeth pressed up against me in the semi warm- cold water staring at each others eyes I had to get my drug.

I attached are lips together. She seemed surprised at first but kissed back.

I would have to say that it was the best underwater kiss ever.

We surfaced the water with are lips still attached. Luckily no one saw us they where to busy splashing eachother. "That- gasp- was-" Annabeth started. "Incredible?" I offered. "

"PERCY WHAT THE HELL!" Thalia yelled. She was on one of the ledges by the bottom of the cliff drenched. I swam over to her and grinned. "What? I thought you loved heights?" I said grinning wider. "No that's my brother I HATE THEM, and this gives me more reason to!" She exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and pulled her back in the water.

"Don't be a Debby downer Pinecone Face," I said with a grin. "I'm going to kill you one day," she growled. I just laughed and went back to go jump again.

Time skip.

I was watching Leo and Frank have a splash competition. "5 bucks on Frank!" I called out. No one took my bet. That's when Piper sat down next to me. "So, how's ignoring Drew," she asked.

"Hard to ignore when u keep getting text and phone calls," I said honestly. "Yikes."

"I think I'm seeing her other side now," I said honestly. "How?" She asked. "She wants you to cheat on Jason." "THAT BITCH!" She exclaimed. "Yeah I know and I bet she's off with some guy like Kenzie was."

"I feel like Drew has also lost meaning to you because she was more of a distraction to you than anything," Piper confessed. "Had to have something to keep my mind off her," I said truthfully. "And?" Piper asked wanting more. "And I feel like anything we had is gone," I finished.

"Why is that?" She asked. "Because I actually think I'm falling for someone," I confessed. Her eyes widened and she did a happy dance. "Who who who who who!?" I didn't answer. "Oh come on! Percy," she complained. " I don't know," I said. "Coke on Perce you have known me since 1st grade I've kept all of your secrets, I always will," she said.

"How about I show you," I said. She looked confused but I got up and walked over to the crowd. They finally had made a fair point system and they went to go jump. Everyone was to focused on Leo and Frank to notice me come up from behind Annabeth.

I rapped my arms around her stomach and she looked back at me. She she slightly turned and put her left arm around me and and lifted her head up. I leaned mine down and attached are lips together. We had a small quick make out session that needed when we heard splashes in the water.

I walked away before giving Annabeth a wink and walking back to Piper. "Woah," she said her eyes wide open. "Is it a good thing I feel like I'm flying?" I asked her. Piper laughed. "Yes Percy that's a good thing," she answered me still chuckling a bit.

As we started to walk back to the mansion and I saw it through the trees. The only thought that was playing through my head was-

This is home, now and forever.

Time skip.

"Hey when's Grover getting back in town?" Thalia asked me. "Uh I actually don't know, was he going to England for one semester or the whole year?" I asked. "Uh I think one semester, but it could be two," Thalia said thinking. "Well I think Winter break for both of those. "Ugh buts that another 2 months," Thalia complained.

Grover was my bestfriend. And for awhile one of my only friends that didn't involve family. When my dad died I shut out the world including Piper. But not Grover. He was there for me even when I didn't want him to be. But he helped me get out of depression. Heck it was even him that told me I should try out for the football team in 7th grade.

Middle school football is different from Highschool but it got me started and I owe it all to him. When I didn't know what to do he was there for me. When he told me he enrolled in the forgiven exchange student program I was furious. But then I understood his reasons and I had his back like he had mine.

Man I wish he was here now he could really help me out. I haven't talked to him since August and I really needed some advice. I didn't care how much the call cost I needed help now.

I walked out of the room and to the deck. I pulled out my phone and pulled up Grovers contact. "Please pick up G-Man," I whispered to myself.

I pressed the call button and said ok to the price of the call and heard the phone dial. He picked up on the second ring. "Percy?" He asked. "Hey G-Man!" I exclaimed relieved. "Hey."

"I need some advice, and you where the only one I fell like I can go to," I said. "Oh ok,put it out there," he said.

"Well I'm hung up on two girls, they both make me smile, laugh, and they help me through some things. I just don't know how to choose," I said.

He was silent for a good 3 minutes. "Well Percy, which one makes you happy?" He asked. "Dude you just went really deep on me their," I said thinking about his question. "Haha sorry man anything else?" He asked.

"When are you coming back?" I asked. "Well I'm here for the year, personally I like being in America more. I'll be there for Winter Break, and Spring Break, count on it," he said. I smiled to my self.

"Well if the football team makes it to the state champion ship, do you think you could come out then to?" I asked. "Hell yeah man, I wouldn't miss it. Hey I gotta go it may be night where you are but I gotta get ready for class," he said.

"Ok, see you man." "See ya."

And like that the call was over and I was stuck on a different question. Who makes you happy. I thought about it for a good 20 minutes just staring at the stars. "Percy? Are you ok," Annabeth asked walking outside. "Yeah I'm fine wise girl, just staring at the stars."

"Percy I can't keep doing this," she said. "Doing what?" I asked. "I can't keep telling my self this is ok! You have Drew, I shouldn't be kissing you! I shouldn't be hoping for the impossible. I shouldn't have to wait for a heart brake," she informed me. "Seaweed brain, you know I have feelings for you, but I'm not going into the drama of Drew, I'm not gonna have her hate you, or me."

She started to walk away and I felt a lump in my throat that I couldn't swallow down. My heart clenched as she turned back one more time her eyes full of hope.

I knew if she walked through those doors I wouldn't feel happy, I wouldn't be me, I would be sad, I would be angry, mad, stressed, and a jerk.

That's when I realized that Annabeth made me happy. Like Grover said. I should choose he the one that makes me happy.

I reached out for Annabeth grabbing her arm and pulling her back to me. "I choose you," I whispered. Her eyes widened and I kissed her. I didn't notice the shooting star going off in the background. But Piper, Jason, Frank, Leo, Nico, Hazel, Thalia, and Calypso did. But mainly they saw me and Annabeth kissing under the stars.
