Annabeth's POV

It was a week since we had appeared on 'Olympus Live'. In that week we had finished all the songs for the EP and sent them. Were set for the studio sometime at the end of the week.

The situation has been awkward and tense between Percy and I since Thalia announced the whole 'Percabeth thing. We haven't talked much and when I go into to talk to him and makes an accuse and escape me.

Maybe I miss read the signs that he was given me and he doesn't really like me like that. I could have sworn that every time that we almost kissed he had also leaned in. I guess I must have been my imagination. That a bummer.

Well back into present time, the entire gang and I were hanging out in the front of the school building. We all had a free period and Thalia had the brilliant idea that she wanted to go outside even though it starting to get cold.

Silena, Rachel and Piper were lying around and talking about fashion or such.

Percy, Beckendorf, Nico, The Stoll's, Leo and Chris I guess were talking about some type of game.

Clarisse and Thalia were talking about some annoying kid or something.

Juniper, Katie and Grover were talking about something to do with plants.

I was just lying against the tree with my notebook out. Writing in it. I almost have another song finished but I stuck on the final verse.

I was getting nowhere with just sitting out here, so I got my stuff and headed in side towards my room and sat down at the piano.

A few minutes later I heard the door open and stand in the door way.

I turn around and, behold the person is Percy.

We exchanged simply hellos' and he came in and sat down on the bench beside me.

We really didn't talk, I was just skimming my fingers across the keys.

"Why have you been you avoiding me" I break the awkward silence not look away from my fingers.

He shifted besides me and reasoned. "I don't know. I guess I was embarrassed to talk to you."

"Why would you feel embarrassed to talk to me? I don't think there has been a moment since we meet that we couldn't talk to each other." I say.

"Yeah I guess. You have to look also at the fact that my cousin told everyone in the world that the girl I like and I have a couple name even though we aren't together." He response tensely.

I was stunned. He liked me. He liked me back. HE LIKED ME BACK.

"You like me" I say stupidly with a grin on my face.

"Of course, I like you. Why wouldn't I. You are smart, funny and beautiful. Plus you can sing and get along in the band enough that you're in it." He says. I started blushing.

"By the way Percy. I like you too. I actually wrote you a new song and I kind of had really good inspiration." I say to him and grab the guitar from the corner of the room and start to play.

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind.

He broke his own heart and I watched

As he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore

That she would never let herself forget.

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

But darling,

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul

That love never lasts.

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.

Or keep a straight face.

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance.

And up until now I have sworn to myself

That I'm content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

You are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality,

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.

You are the only exception. [4x]

You are the only exception. [4x]

And I'm on my way to believing.

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

After I finished playing and I turned to look into Percy's amazing green eyes, which I have come to adore and they held so much passion.

We both leaned in and in that moment it finally happened.

My lips met his and we kissed.

You know how in movies how they project fireworks when you have you first kiss. That and so much more was how I felt when I kissed Percy.

I wasn't just fireworks it was the whole show country's grand finally going on. I was magical.

I don't know how long it was but we were interrupted by a loud bang at the door.

We broke and look at the door to find once again everyone standing in the door frame.

"YES. Nico you owe me 20 bucks." Thalia said while Silena and Piper screamed "PERCABETH LIVES."

We started blushing and he turned back to me and asked. "So now to rap this up. Annabeth, will you be my girlfriend?"

"MABYE" I say.
