Annabeth's POV

I sat on my couch eating my Chinese take out with my friends. They had come over on a Sunday evening to help me pack and move the last of my things.

"Thanks for all your help with moving my stuff." I said, smiling gratefully at my friends. They all gave me smiles. "I just can't believe you're moving in with him." Piper said, sighing. "My little Annabeth, all grown up." She said, wiping away invisible tears. We all chuckled.

I threw away all the empty boxes of Chinese food and sat on the lone couch. My phone rang. I saw it was an unknown umber. I frowned but answered it. "Hello?" I said. "Hello. Is that Miss Chase?" A man asked. "Yes?" I replied. "This is Doctor Robertson calling from Miami MedLife emergency hospital. Your name was on Mr. Jacksons emergency call list. He had a fall this evening and broke his ankle." The doctor said.

"Oh my god! Is he he okay?" I asked, worry and panic filling my stomach as I ran my hand through my hair the others were all giving me worried looks. "He's fine. It wasn't too serious, but he will need to wear the cast for the next six weeks." He informed me. It didn't help all my panic go away. "Will he be able to walk? Can I talk to him." I asked, frantic.

The man chuckled a bit. "Don't worry. He can still walk. I will tell him to call you." He said. "Thank you." I said, and hung up. I sat on the couch. "What happened?" Jason asked. "Percy fell and broke his ankle." I said, still trying to process it. "Oh my word! Is he okay?" Hazel asked, concern in her voice. "The doctor said he was fine and would be able to walk." I said.

My phone rang and I immediately answered it. "Percy! Are you okay!" I asked. He chuckled. "I'm perfectly fine." He said. I went all tingly at the sound of his voice. I let it a sigh of relief. "Are you still coming back tomorrow?" I asked. "Of course! I can't stand not seeing you." He said. I smiled. "I have to go, signing release papers. Will see you tomorrow." He said.

"Bye." I said. I hung up and sighed with relief. "He's fine. Coming back tomorrow. " I said. They all did the same and relaxed a bit. They all got going and we all left the apartment. I drove off to Percy and my apartment and walked into it with a sense of excitement.

~ Line Break ~

I waited as all the people came out of baggage claim. I waited anxiously, searching for Percy. I felt my heart leap as I spotted him and his colleagues coming through.

He smiled when he saw me. They were one of the last group of people off the plane so there wasn't anyone in their way. I walked towards them. He put his luggage down and gave me a big hug. "Annabeth!" He said, hugging me.

I pulled away and kissed his cheek. I stepped back to examine the cast on his ankle. "We're trying to give me a heart attack?" I said, chuckling at his ankle. Him and his friends all laughed. "I'm surprised he didn't break anything with all the beers and martinis he had." One of the guys joked.

I raised an eyebrow at him while his friends laughed. "I swear, I didn't touch any alcohol last night." He said, holding his hands up in surrender. I chucked. "Sure." I said, then gave him a kiss. It was short and sweet. He grabbed his bags and we all made our way out the airport. We said goodbye to his friends and went to his car.

I drove, obviously, and soon got back to our place. We went inside the apartment and locked his door. I put his bags in our room and joined him where he was looking out at the city in the lounge. He smiled and wrapped is arms around my waist. I slung my arms around his neck and kissed him.

I made it good, having missed out n two weeks worth of kisses. "Gods I missed you." I murmured against his lips. He smiled and kissed me back. I was just about to put my weight into him as he was abut to lift me up but I stopped him "No, your ankle." I reminded him.

He sighed and looked down at his foot. His face brightened as he got an idea. He sat on the couch and put me in his lap. I smiled and kissed him, cupping his face in my hands. He kissed me back. He pulled away and said, "I missed you so much." I smiled and said,"I missed you too."

He kissed me again and turned me around. We lay on our sides, his arm wrapped around my waist. We lay there till I heard him yawn. "Bed for you. " I said. He chuckled bu didn't objected. I helped him dress out of his clothes and we climbed into bed. I fell asleep with a smile on my face, happy to have him back.

~Next Day~

I smiled as I brought through coffee of all of us. My friends had come over to see how Percy was and to chat. "Thank you." Percy said as I handed him a mug and sat down with mine.

We all sipped our coffee for a while till Piper gasped. "Will you still be able to go to the Winter formal?" She asked. "Of course." Percy said, after a moment. "No, we're not. We'll just stay here." I said. "Why can't we stil go?" He asked, scrunching his eyebrows together.

"You're ankle." I said. He sighed and rubbed his temple. "Even if I can't go, you still must." He said. I looked at him like he just declared that dogs would rule the world. "No! I am not going alone and I am not leaving you by yourself!" I complained.

He sighed. "Annabeth. I love you, but you're forgetting that I'm an adult and I can look after myself for a few hours." He said, looking at me. "Percy, I know that." I said. I sighed nd gave him a 'We 'll talk later' look. He nodded and finished his coffee. Thy all finished their coffee and said goodbye.

When we went to bed, we decided to finish our conversation. "Percy." I said. "I know that your'e an adult. I know that you are perfectly capable of looking after yourself." He looked me in the eyes and asked, "Then why won't you go or let me go?" I sighed. "I really don't feel like having to leave you after not seeing you for so long." I said.

He gave me a sad smile and said, "If I don't go, I will still be here when you get to going anywhere, not leaving you." I smiled and kissed him. I sighed in defeat and said, "Fine. I'll go." He smiled and we fell asleep.

Winter Formal

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a green dress that had a one shoulder strap. It was long, down to my ankles, and hugged my curves. It had a low back, ending three quarters of the way down my back. I had my hair in a French braid own my back. I decided to go with a bit of blush, some mascara and eyeliner and some silver eye shadow.

I put my silver diamante heels on and went into the lounge. "Do I look fine?" I asked Percy as he stood, leani against the kitchen counter. Hooked at me and I swore his jaw hit the ground. "Oh gods." He said, under his breath. I chuckled and turned. When he saw the low back, I thought his whole mouth fell off.

"I'm really regretting agreeing to not go now." He said, still looking at me. I chuckled and he smiled at me. He walked over and rested his hands on my back. "You look gorgeous." He murmured against my lips, just brushing our lips together in the way he does when he wants to tease me. It got my heart my heart racing and I couldn't think straight.

"You sure yu don't want me to come?" He asked. I was still un able to respond as he did it again. "Everything alright?" He asked, knowing that he had me hooked. He pulled away to smirk as he saw my face.

"I-uh, I need to,uh, get my-" I stammered staring at his soft, pink lips. I tried to finish my sentence. I finally snapped back and looked away from him. "My purse, that's what I need." I said, going to the bedroom. I grabbed my phone and lip balm and put I in my purse.

I gasped as Percy pressed his chest against my back. He kissed my jaw bone, making me moan a bit. "I could come and make Amy even more envious." He whispered into my ear. I decided to not fall into him, knowing I would let him come.

"Nope." I said, giving him a peck and walking to the front. He opened the door for me and stood in the doorway to say goodbye. "I won't stay long. Make sure you're ready for me when I come back." I said, doing exactly what he had done and brushing my lips past his.

Just before he could kiss me I pulled away, gave him one triumphant smile and walked off down the corridor. I got into my car nd drove off to Pipers house, where we all would be meeting up.

~School~

I smiled as I walked towards the outside area where we decided to have the prom with my friends. But Amy just had to be there, waiting for me to show up. "Where's your so called boyfriend? Dump you already?" She asked, catching the attention of surrounding students.

I rolled my eyes and said, "No. I told him to stay home as he broke his ankle the other day." She laughed with her friends and said, "Yeah right. Just admit that you never had a thing with him. You hired him to act as our boyfriend so you didn't feel so stupid. But that didn't work,honey."

I could feel the rage building up in me. "What's your problem? Can't admit the truth?" She asked, catching most of the senior's attention. "What's my problem? What's your problem?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow and sending a disgusted look her way.

"Well then where is Prince Charming?" She asked, eyeing me with a raised eyebrow. I was about to slap her for being such an idiot when I heard a familiar voice say, "I'm right here." Everyone turned to look at the speaker.

Percy made his way to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. Everyone murmured things to eachother. "Rental is quite popular these days. I'll give you a try tonight." Amy said, trying to look seductive.

"Excuse me? Did you say something?" Percy asked. "I thought not." He said, standing in front of me. "I don't like you talking about my girlfriend like that. You have a problem with her dating me, deal with it." He said, defending me. Leo got a cup of punch and 'accidentally' tripped, causing it to spill on Amy. She gasped.

"Oops sorry." He said, no sympathy whatsoever in his voice. She shrieked and stormed off. I turned to Percy and kissed him. I smiled against his lips, knowing I had finally won against Amy. "I told you to stay home." I said, remembering us talking the previous day.

"Well I didnt hear you properly." He joked, smiling. I shook it off and decided to try enjoy the evening. I kept getting acknowledgement from the younger students. I would just smile and go back to dancing with my friends.

By eleven, I could see Percy ankle was starting to trouble him as I noticed him putting his weight all onto his good foot. "Let's go home." I said nto his ear. He nodded and we left.

When we got home, I helped him out his tux and hung it up. He unzipped the back of dress and it slid off me, leaving me in a pair of shorts and my bra. I felt proud that he was such a gentleman as he didn't even bathe trying to stare at my body. He just kissed me and tossed me one of his shirts.

I put on my sweats and lay in bed next to him. He kissed my neck, making my brain melt. I felt his bare chest against my back and smiled. He gave me an open mouthed kiss and rested his hand on my stomach. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
