The Last Hurrah

I look into his eyes and remember something.

"Percy?" I say still trying to catch my breath.

"Yeah?"

"I think I came up with a nickname for you." I smirk.

"And that is?"

"Seaweed brain." I laugh as he tries to glare at me but ends up laughing himself.


Percy POV:

I woke up from the sun shinning directly in my face. I yawned and looked over to find Annabeth still asleep in my arms. I smiled and traced a finger down the side of her face. She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping it's something I don't think I'll ever get use to. Only she could manage to look adorable even when she was fast asleep. We've been making good time so far; we drove for 13 hours yesterday and plan on driving 18 today. That will bring us to Utah, only 5 hours away from Las Vegas. I look over at Annabeth again and see her eyelids fluttering. Looking at her I can't help but imagine us doing this for real. I can see it all, Annabeth walking down the isle to me ready to make the promise of being together through everything. I shake the thought out of my head. Maybe in the future but not now when we're just barely 18 plus I think it'd be safe to say both our parents would kill us. I laugh out loud at this thought and manage to wake Annabeth up.

"What's so funny?" She croaks.

"Nothing." I say smirking. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." I kiss her forehead.

"It's okay I needed to be woken up we need to get on the road." I smile at this. That's my Wise Girl always following the plan. I watch Annabeth flutter around the room getting ready. She pulls a t-shirt and a pair of capris and walks to the bathroom shutting the door with a click. I take this as my signal to get out of bed and get dressed. I grab a pair of shorts and a random t-shirt and throw it on. I zip up my duffle bag and toss it by the door. I sit cross-legged on the edge of the bed and wait for Annabeth. She comes out shortly there after.

"Got everything?" She asks as she goes over to put her stuff in her own duffle bag.

"Yep I'm ready when you are."

"I'm almost ready but there's something I'm missing."

"What is it?" I ask as she stands there with a finger on her chin and her nose scrunched up.

"I remember now!" She comes over to me and grabs my face in her hands.

"This." She kisses me. I grab her waist and bring her closer to me. Her kisses always send me to another place, like I'm in a fairy tale or something. It's all surreal when we kiss because I never thought I'd be the guy who got the girl. Her shirt rises up on her sides and I brush my thumbs over her hips. I feel her shiver and smirk. I love that I have this effect on her it's the most amazing feeling in the world. She pulls away and I pout.

She laughs. "Come on Seaweed brain we have to get going." She grabs my hand and drags me up. I grab both our duffle bags and lead the way out the door. After I give the keys to our room to the guy behind the counter I unlock my truck and put our duffle bag in the back. I close the door and Annabeth grabs the keys.

"Um what are you doing Wise Girl?"

"Driving that's what seaweed brain." I grab the keys out of her hands.

"Come on Percy! You drove yesterday I'll drive today."

"I don't think so today's a longer drive than yesterday. I'm driving."

"That's not a reason! I'm perfectly capable of driving for 18 hours."

"Okay, Okay I'll make you a deal. You can drive today and tomorrow but I'm driving the whole way back." Annabeth scrunches her face up the way she always does when she's thinking things through.

"Fine." She snatches the keys out of my hand and goes around to the driver's side. I roll my eyes and laugh.


Nico POV (yayyy!)

I panic. I reread the letter I just found and then read it again. Are they fucking serious? Is this a joke? I swear to gods if it is I'll personally beat the shit out of Percy because this is so not funny. I type in his number and get a busy signal. I try it again and again until I've decided he's just ignoring me. I slam my fist on my dashboard. What the heck! What are they thinking?! Annabeth is smart, logical why is she going along with this? Why isn't she thinking this through like she usually does? It's all so frustrating! A thought dawns on me. Does Thalia know? I gulp. I so don't want to be the one to break this to her. Just as I think this my phone rings and it's just the person I wanted to talk to.

"Hello?"

"Do you know what they're doing?!" I guess that's a yes on if she knows.

"Yes I just read the letter."

"Is this a joke? Because I will kill them if it is. I'm going to kill them anyways but I'll kill them even more if it is!" She screams.

"I don't think so. I've tried calling Percy but he's ignoring my calls."

"Same with Annabeth. I can't believe they're actually doing this! What's wrong with them?!"

" I don't know! This makes no sense! What are we going to do?"

"It's obvious isn't?" Thalia says as matter of factly.

"Um…no?"

I hear her sigh. "Go after them of course! We can't let them go through with this! It's going to ruin their lives!"

"Oh." I didn't know what to say. Could we really go after them I mean Las Vegas is across the country.

"Please Nico? We have to do something." I hear her desperate, pleading voice through the phone.

"Okay. I'll pick you up in 20 minutes. What's your address?"

"6320 Pletcher Rd. and Nico?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." I say and then I hear the phone click off. Wait what just happened? Did I just agree to go on a cross-country trip with Thalia Grace? What did I get myself into?


I fly into my house and grab practically every shirt I own and 7 pairs of shorts and throw it into a duffle bag. I grab 3 sweatshirts and stuff them in it too. Then I make up an excuse that satisfies my parents and I'm out the door. It's a ten-minute drive to Thalia's house and she's already waiting for me outside. She quickly get's into the car and I'm already backing out before she even puts her seat belt on.

"Do you even know how to get to Las Vegas?" Is the first thing she says to me. I reach over and grab the GPS that I took out of my parent's car and hold it up. She smiles.

"Awesome." She throws her stuff in the back joining my stuff on the back seat and we start our journey to save our friends from screwing the rest of their lives up.

A/N…

I AM SUPPPPEEEERRR SORRY GUYS! I really am! I just finished Driver's Ed this past week and then I had to work on my summer reading project (Yay AP English not) All in all I was really busy and I just didn't have any time.

I'm going to give you heads up I might not upload regularly for a tiny bit because a) School starts for me on the 4th and b) I have a foreign exchange student from Germany coming to stay with me. (If any of you guys reading this is from Germany please review or PM me I'd love to talk to you (or if you're not from Germany and just want to talk that works too)). I promise you guys I'm not going to give up on this story I love it and you guys too much to do that. So yeah I know this was short but I had trouble with this chapter that's another reason it took me forever. Please review and tell me what you think! Special Thanks to rhodders12 who without them I don't know what I'd do.
