A/N: So I hope that last chapter was angsty enough for you. ) I would say I didn't have fun writing it, but then I would be lying.

I know. I am a sad soul.

I also own nothing, but my own ideas and extra characters.


"Annabeth?" asks Percy. I stumble away from him, towards a bench.

"My tears are blinding me, accounting for the stumbling. Also, I think I was just ripped in two. I let one of the most imporant people in my life go- No i pushed them away, made them go, and... It's all my fault."

"You know, I hate flowers."

"Really? I thought you liked them." he says.

"Not anymore." I say, knowing now who got them for me. Of course. He was trying to say sorry. Percy grabs my elbow and pulls me to the bench. He sits me down and holds me. I cry into his sweatshirt, making it snotty.

"It's okay."

"No it's not!" i say. "It's not fucking okay!" I shout, more at myself than him. "I'm a terrible person."

"No you're not." he argues. "You did what you had to do."

"But I didn't have to do that!" I say and crumble into hysterics again.

"Look, Annabeth. This doesn't make you a terrible person."

"I-" he cuts me off as I cut him off.

"No." he says sternly. "Listen to me. Just because you broke things off with someone does not mean you are a terrible person. You are actually one of the greatest people I know. Okay?"

"Okay." i consent. He holds me a little longer, until Piper and Thalia show up.

"Annabeth?" asks Piper worriedly.

"Mmmm." I say.

"Oh, Annabeth!" she says, straight out of Pride and Prejudice (not really, but her speech).

"i'm fine."

"Okay." she says, but still insists on holding me and consoling me with shit she probably just got online.

"We're here for you." she says, and I know that is actually from Piper. Not some online counseling thing. "Let's take you home." I nod and get up. "He coming?" she asks, nodding her head in Percy's direction.

I look at him, and he nods. "I mean, I guess."

"Okay, yes."


We get to the house and Piper and Thalia leave me at my room. Percy lingers inside, studying it.

"You good?" he finally asks, clearing his throat.

"I mean, I guess." I say, quoting him.

"Music?" he asks, offering to turn on my radio.

"Sure."

He turns it on.

"Turn it off." I say, recognizing the song.

"what?" he asks, bewildered.

I realize I deserve it, so I calm myself. "Nevermind."

Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
I'll take every single piece of the blame if you want me to
But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two
I'll go, I'll go and then you go, you go out and spill the truth
Can we both say the words and forget this?

Yeah
Is it too late now to say sorry?
'Cause I'm missing more than just your body, oh
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah, I know-oh-oh, that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I'm not just trying to get you back on me (oh, no, no)
'Cause I'm missing more than just your body (your body), oh
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah, I know-oh-oh, that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

I realize that Justin is singing what I feel like right now,m just not quite as romantically.

"Thanks." I yawn to Percy. "I owe you."

He gives me his trademarked trouble-maker smile and slips out of my door.


A/N: Again, short, but I want you guys' feedback. I promise next chapter should be longer. Bye love you !
