Extra long amazing Percy chapter to make up for my missed days! Review my fabulous readers!


-Percy

After dinner, I offered to sit with Annabeth during the sing-a-long but she said she just wanted to sleep.

"I'll take you back then and we can talk until curfew," I told her. So what if Tyson was visiting for a few days, Annabeth was hurt and I didn't want her to be alone all night.

"No! Tyson's only here today and tomorrow. You shouldn't be wasting time with me when you barely ever get to see your brother!"

"I'll take her for you Percy," Travis said out of no where. "Annabeth is right. You never see your brother and she'll be better within a day. Go spent time with him."

"You sure Annabeth? Tyson looks like he's having fun without me. I don't have to stay."

Annabeth kissed me. "Have fun. Travis will make sure I'm okay," she smiled and kissed me again. "And Percy, I love you."

"I love you too," I said smiling. This was the first time she'd said that she loved me in front of everyone.

After thirty or so minutes, the campfire got boring. It was great hanging out with Tyson, but I only really had Tyson. Nico never came to these things and Thalia had snuck off earlier so she wouldn't have to hear a few tone death halfbloods. I figured Tyson would be fine for a little while and went to tell Annabeth goodnight.

When I got to the infirmary Travis was still there. I was surprised but figured he was keeping her company. I was heading in when I stopped, hearing something I didn't expect.

"No, Travis, I don't love you!" It was Annabeth. I pushed myself against the wall and listened in. "I'm sorry, I love Percy."

Travis sighed. "I knew this was coming but really hoped it never would," he said. "I really do care about you Annie."

They were silent for a minute. Then Annabeth yelled out, "No Travis! I can't do this anymore! I've snuck behind Percy's back too long, I don't want to hurt him anymore than I have."

What! What the Hades is going on?

"Do I mean nothing to you Annie? Everything that's happened between us? I get that he was here first, I get it, but can't you even think about this Annie?" Travis asked.

Everything that's happened between us? What is that supposed to mean! What happened between them.

"I have thought this over Travis! I've realized what a sweet guy I'm hurting. I've realized I love Percy and that it was a mistake about what happened earlier this summer," Annabeth muttered.

"Have you also forgot how you felt earlier this summer?" Travis asked. "You're here a day, then he leaves you a note saying he's going on a quest with Grover to get some halfbloods and doesn't know when he'll be back. Did Percy really expect you to take that well?"

Actually I did. I thought Annabeth knew I'd be in and out of camp at the beginning of summer because of that promise I had the gods make. It was my duty to go and get those newly claimed halfbloods before some monster got to them. I seriously thought Annabeth would understand that.

"Tell me how it felt Annie," Travis said.

Annabeth took a sharp breath. "I felt hurt, and alone, and like he didn't care about me," she sighed. "That isn't the point though! The point is that he loves me and I love him!"

I do Annabeth! I wanted to scream. But then that would give away that I'm eavesdropping and make her feel even more hurt.

"Remember that feeling next time he talks to you. Remember how he left you with nothing but a note," he said. "I'm not taking that tonight."

"Well I'm not going to change my mind."

"Just think about this decision, Annie," Travis tried. I heard a sound like he kissed her and instantly became pissed off. "I'm not pushing you but remember how I feel about you." The bed squeaked as Travis got up.

I didn't stay to listen to anything else. Annabeth had cheated on me. It didn't matter that she was trying to end it, she had cheated on me with Travis. I guess this is better than it being my best friend but it still hurt. I… I'm going to…

No, I'm not. I can't do anything that will hurt her. I love her, no matter if she cheated on me with Stoll or not. If she ends this with him in the next week, I'll never bring it up. If she tells me, I'll tell her I knew put don't care. If she picks Travis, well I don't know what I'll do then. I can't really see anything with out Annabeth. I guess I have to wait now, wait and see if Annabeth Chase loves me like she said she does or not.
