The rest of the day consisted of us ice skating, blushing and stealing quick kisses. Well, Percy mostly. I just went with it. I'm also proud to report that I got the hang of ice skating. My ice skating was now equivalent to Percy's. Yeah, I'm a fast learner. The snow thingy eventually stopped, which was good because I was getting cold. When we left the skating rink it was dark and the wind was biting against my skin. I was thankful we went with the car, that's for sure. We were almost there when Percy pulled me to a stop.

"What?" I whined. "I'm cold."

"Okay, okay. I just need to ask you a question." I raised an eyebrow and he smirked as he got to one knee. I gasped.

"Percy…we're only seventeen and we aren't even officially dating. You can't be serious." I said all the while holding my hands in front of my mouth.

"Just hear me out." He said motioning for me to give him my hands.

"Perce…"

"Annabeth. Just… okay?" he said imitating Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother. I sighed but gave him my hands. "Annabeth Chase, I do not have a heartfelt speech nor will I make one up at this very moment, but will you do me the honor of-"

"You'd better say girlfriend." I threatened. He smiled a lopsided grin.

"The honor," he continued. "Of being my girlfri-"

"Yes." I said. Crap that sounded desperate. Percy shook his head and stood up.

"You are just something else." He leaned in and softly pressed his lips against mine.

"Mhmm." I mumbled against his lips. He smiled into the kiss and I rolled my eyes when we pulled away. "Now let's go cause I'm cold."

"Fine. I'm just scared of how my mom will react when she finds out about us."

"Oh gods." I said as we got into the car.

"Yep. Just prepare yourself." He said as he started the car.

"Will any amount of preparation prepare me for this?" I asked.

"Probably not."

"That's what I thought." I said as I looked out of the window. In no time we pulled into Percy's driveway.

"We're here." He said.

"I noticed." I said back. He just grinned before he jumped out of the car and ran to my side.

"M'lady." He said while opening the door and holding out his hand. I rolled my eyes but took his hand anyways. We were walking up the steps when the door opened and Sally was immediately staring at our linked hands. She silently opened the door wider so we could enter. We did…which wasn't that smart. We walked into the kitchen.

"So," Sally said. "How was it?"

"It was fun." Percy said carefully.

"Good, good." She said glancing back down at our hands, which were still locked. "Anything special happen?"

"Nope." Percy said. "Nothing out of the ordinary." Sally glared at him and he just smiled sheepishly.

"You mock my pain." She said.

"I'm not mocking you."

"Yes you are."

"Well if that's what you want to believe then go ahead but just know that this means I don't have to tell you what happened after ice skating." Sally narrowed her eyes.

"You're lying." She said skeptically.

"Am I though?" he asked while raising our hands. She then turned to me and with such intensity that I'd just managed to keep a straight face. After a few seconds of that she squealed and pulled us into a bone crushing hug.

"Um mom," Percy grunted. "We kind of need to breathe."

"Oh sorry honey!" she said quickly releasing us from her death grip. "I'm just so happy! Oh I need to tell the club!" she said grabbing her phone and texting, what I guessed was, a thousand people.

"We're going to my room." Percy said before dragging me out of the kitchen, down the hall and into his room. He closed the door and I started to his bed so I could sit down but he grabbed my wrist and spun he into his arms.

"Wha-" I started but was cut off by Percy pressing his lips against mine. It was a slow, sweet kiss but that doesn't mean when we pulled away we weren't out of breath. We were.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Well, now that you are my girlfriend I can kiss you whenever I want and that's exactly what I intend on doing." He said. I rolled my eyes and layed down on his bed and soon he joined me. I rested my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. I smiled. We layed like that in a comfortable silence for awhile until Percy broke it.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I sighed.

"I'm just nervous about when we tell my dad about us."

"Why?" he asked.

"Well for starters he doesn't exactly like you." I said and Percy chuckled.

"Whoops." He said. "But he's just gonna have to deal with it because he's not going to ruin this. Not again."

"Again?" I asked. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh come on. We both know he's part of the reason we stopped being friends."

"Yeah, but he's still my dad and I want him to approve of us." I said looking up at Percy. He sighed.

"I get it. But what if he doesn't approve? Is it over if he doesn't think I'm good enough?"

"No of course not." I said sitting up. "But it's not like it'll be easy either. Are you really prepared to have drill you with questions, glare at you 24/7 and say stupid things just so you'll lose your temper?"

"If that's what it takes to date you then yes." He said. "I want to be with you Annabeth." I didn't know what to say so I didn't say anything. I just leaned in and he did to and soon enough we were kissing again. Percy pulled away and rested his forehead against mine.

"I'm in like with you Annabeth." He said. I laughed.

"I'm in like with you too Percy."

"Good cause it would've been awkward." He said.

We spent about an hour in his room just cuddling, talking and, yes, kissing until Sally called us down for dinner. We ate blue spaghetti. After that I had to go so Percy and I got into his car so he could drop me off.

"I'll walk you to the door." Percy said when he pulled up in front of my house.

"No it's fine." I said but Percy gave me the look. The there's-no-point-in-arguing-because-I'm-going-whether-you-like-it-or-not look. I sighed in defeat and Percy grinned. We got out of the car and Percy grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together. We walked up my porch and stopped in front of the door. I knew my dad was downstairs because the lights were on. But then again it could've been my brothers. Percy leaned his forehead against mine.

"Can I get a kiss?" he asked.

"Percy, you do realize that my dad could open the door any second right?"

"I am very aware." He said. I laughed and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"There." I said and he pouted. I smiled but it was short lived when I heard giggling on the other side of the door. I kicked the bottom of it and smiled in satisfaction when I heard two people yelp in surprise. I then opened the door and Bobby and Matthew fell at our feet. I raised an eyebrow at them and they just looked at each other mischievously then back at me and Percy.

"So you're dating Percy." Matthew said.

"What's it to you?" I asked harshly.

"Oh nothing much we're just thinking about how angry dad will be when he hears." Bobby said. I glared at them.

"What do you want?"

"We want Call of Duty on the X-Box and unlimited coins for Chucky Cheeses." Matthew said.

"No way. Dad will kill me if I buy you Call of Duty." I said.

"Yeah and just imagine what he'll do when he finds out about you two." Bobby said.

"Fine." I said through gritted teeth. The boys cheered and high fived. "Now leave." They quickly ran back inside. I groaned and leaned my forehead against Percy's shoulder.

"Come inside with me?" I asked looking at him hopefully.

"Of course." He said while smiling at me. I smiled back and dragged him all the way to my room. So we ended up doing the exact same thing that we did at his house. Talking, cuddling and kissing. Too soon Percy had to leave.

"I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" he asked. I nodded and walked him to the door. I quickly looked around to see if anyone was looking and tried to give him a quick kiss but he had other ideas. He held me there and it turned out to be a pretty long kiss. Thankfully no one was there to witness it.

The next day when I got to school I was greeted by Thalia and Piper.

"Hey." Thalia said.

"Hi."

"How was your weekend?"

"It was good." I said as I smiled to myself.

"What's got you so cheery?" Piper asked.

"Oh nothing." I said. Piper raised an eyebrow but left it alone. She smiled at something behind me and turned around to see Percy's friends Jason, Leo, Nico and Frank.

"Hey guys." I said.

"Hey, have you seen Percy?" Jason asked.

"What? No, why?" I asked confused.

"We haven't seen him and usually he'd be here by now." Nico said.

"Have you called?"

"He won't pick up."

"Let me try." I said while grabbing my phone.

Ring. Ring. Ring. – Hey, you've reached Percy Jackson-

"He's not picking up." I said.

"Well, I'm sure he's fine." Frank said. Everyone agreed and went to class. Throughout the day I heard nothing about and I was getting paranoid. Where was he? After lunch I'd bumped into Paul.

"Oh Annabeth I've looking for you all day." He said.

"Where's Percy?" I asked.

"Let's go somewhere more private shall we?" he asked. Confused, I nodded. I followed him into an empty classroom.

"Annabeth, something happened to Percy."

"What happened?" I asked.

"He was riding to school when a car ran a red light and hit him."

"What?" I asked. "Is he okay?"

"I don't know he's in surgery. They said it was a really bad accident. He got hit on the driver's side. There was a lot of blood." I lifted my hand to my mouth and felt tears threatening to fall. Percy could die.

"I have to see him." I said quickly.

"I've arranged that you're excused from the rest of your classes. I'll drive you there." Paul said. I nodded and we took off towards his car. We jumped in the car and raced out of the school parking lot. Paul kept reassuring me but one sentence kept playing through my head.

Percy could die.

~o0o~

As soon as I got home I ran to my room and started sobbing. For what seemed like hours I cried. I cried until I was incapable of making another tear. So I curled up in a ball and soon enough fell asleep.

"Poor Annabeth." Was the first thing I heard when I woke up. I didn't dare open my eyes. I knew it was Piper. But as soon as I opened my eyes it would all be real. And I didn't want it to be real.

"Percy said he wanted to see her." Thalia.

"Really?" Piper said.

"Yep. I told him he could go to Hades first."

"Awe just look at her. Her eyes are all puffy and red." Piper said. "She really loved him didn't she?"

"Yeah." Thalia said. "She did."

~o0o~
