I'M SO SORRY YOU GUYS! I know I haven't updated for a long time, and it was for a horrible reason; someone didn't like my story. Someone PMed me, and told me some horrid things, and it was just my breaking point because I already had some problems going on in school. I thought I shouldn't be writing just because they told me I wasn't a good writer. One of my best friends though, KaylsDaughterofHades, helped me get through all of it. I just want to thank her SO MUCH. And, obviously, I want to thank each and every one of you who reviewed! All of you guys made me realize that I can't make everyone like me, or my stories. But I just have to be grateful to those who do. So THANK YOU!
Guest: I feel super bad about not updating sooner! All the info as to why I was gone is on the top author's note if you want to know...aw, really? Thank you so much! You don't know how much that means to me! Thank you.
Guest: hehe...oops? But haven't I told you before how evil I am? I've changed! MWHAHAHA
Sci-fi girl: Aw, hehe...thank you so much. I love Percabeth like almost everbody else does, but I turned evil and stuff, so...I plan on completing that feat. ; )
Becca: Oh, you don't know how bad I feel for making you guys wait so long...I'm extremely sorry about that, and about the fact that Annabeth will die...sorry.
Guest: Haha, oops? But don't I always do that? II'm evil now, remember?
Wondering100percentallthetime: Haha...so you've joined the evil side with me, haven't you? That was an amazing chapter, too. At least I don't have to be lonely, anymore.
Deviantpokemontrainerjay: Hey, in all fairness, you told me you were only going to virtually throw a brick and/or shoot a rifle if I were to kill Percy. You knew Annabeth was going to die anyways, so I suggest you put the safety thing for the virtual gun back on. I promise you that I won't kill Percy physically...emotionally, yes. But that's because it'll make a better story. I'm so sweet, aren't I? XD
MissKatnissSwift: HAHAHA, REALLY?! Oh my God, you don't know how much this makes me laugh. I seriously can't stop. XD
MCPRISSY: Haha, everybody thinks I'm getting too evil for my own good. I even think that, to be honest with you. Aw, haha, I love you, too! Hahaha, but aren't all good authors evil to some extent? Take Uncle Rick for instance, he friggin threw Percabeth into Tarturus!
BlueStrawberry2284: My day's been great so far, thanks for asking. I planned on updating yesterday though, but black friday made me messed up a bit...yeah! Haha, really? Helium? I've always heard it makes your voice high pitched when you breathe it in, but I've never tried it. Aw, THANK YOU! That means so much to me! I LOVED THOSE PRESENT! HERE ARE YOURS! A THOUSAND BUCKS, MAN! XD
Awesomeness95297: Haha, yes! I'll try to make the other chapters longer, for sure! Aw, thanks so much! : )
Cathyzhang04: No problem! But I'm sorry for not updating for a long time, before. Oh, I'm really sorry about saying this, but I can't let Annabeth live longer...it's part of the story. Sorry, again.
Kikipanda825: Hahaha, what can I say? I love cliffhangers. OH,
YEAH! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT ANNABETH'S PHONE! Okay..Let's just say that it's working well, aside from the fact that it should be fried.
Leylisfriends2000: Aw, I'm super sorry, but it's going to very bad news. I'm very evil that way. And to answer your question, it's because I like being evil. MWAHHAHA
A.p.: Sorry for making you wait so long for this new chapter! Haha, I warned you though! Wait...didn't I? Oh well. At least you liked the pool scene.
PunksNotDeadYouAre: You don't know how hard it is for me to say this, but...Annabeth's going to die. I'm EXTREMELY sorry for making you feel so low, and I truly didn't mean it. I know that people can beat the odds, just like you. I'm so happy that you did, even though we've never met. But, for this story, Annabeth won't. I've been thinking about multiple ending to the stories though, and I'm thinking on a bittersweet one. If you'd like that one, I'm happy to put it in the story. Just for you. : )
Theartnerd333: I totally know what you mean about being busy with school work and such. I'm sorry about what's going on in the story, but I put fluff just to be a bit nice. Haha, hope you like this chapter, Christine!
KaylsDaughterofHades: THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, MICHAELA! First, for being a wonderful friend and helping me up when I'm down. Secondly, for being an awesome supporter, and my best friend. I don't think I can express my gratefulness. You do so much for me, and you don't know how happy I am to have a friend like you. So thank you, Michaela. Love you! : )
Smartgirlsan: I am so sorry for not replying sooner! Haha, oh my gosh, I'm really sorry about that...but I'm evil so...I'm gonna be more evil after this chapter though, so... XD
Readergirl6262: Whoa, really? 24 chapters in 30 minutes? SLAY! Hahaha, yes! Evil authors are awesome authors...at least that's what I always say. Oh, good question...I actually don't know how many more chapters I'll be writing. I'll just guess a rough estimation of about 8 more chapters? Maybe a bit more, or less? Oh, and about who Rachel's going to end up with...you'll just have to wait for it.
Guest: I know, right! That explain a whole lot...explains why I'm so very evil. XD
Greekly Chic Chick: Aw, hahaha, I'm so glad you liked it! Yay! XD
ScorpioGirl20: Hey! Aw, you don't know how happy it makes me to hear that you like this story! It means a lot to me! Oh, I'm sorry, but...Annabeth's going to die. That doesn't mean Percabeth will be gone, though.
Greekgeekgirlbro: HAHAHA, YAS! IT REALLY IS GONNA GET REAL! XD
Lorsenic Chia: Haha, don't you know the love I have for cliffhangers? They're basically my life.
Iluvboooks: HAHAHA, I'M SO EVIL, RIGHT?! Haha, you don't even know HOW MUCH I love your stories, and how happy I am that you like mine? Thank you so much! Really?! YAS! I'M LEGIT FANGIRLING BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAID! YAS! Hahaha...ugh, I hate homework. I feel so bad for you! XD
Daughter. Of. Apollo46: Oh, no need to apologize! I totally understand! I'm just happy that you like this story, to be honest with you. Thank you! Haha, I'm evil, I know...Aw, I'm really sorry! Just for the pain to grow even more, here's the next chapter. Hope you like it! : )
MAL-DaughterofChaos: Hahaha, and whoever said I wasn't a spawn of satan, also?
Guest: Aw, thank you! That really means a lot to me! : )
TheOceanStar: Haha, I don't know! It just DOES feel good! Thank you so much! Really? I'm your favorite author? You don't how happy abd grateful I am for that. It means a lot to me, really. Of course I had to! You know how much I love being evil and leaving you guys with cliffhangers! You are EXTREMELY sweet! Thank you so so much! Have a sparkling day/night, too! : )
Bobnumber2: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it! Hope you like this chapter, too! : )
IamCrystalClear: Haha, this review made me laugh so hard! I REALLY SHOULD TAKE OVER THE WORLD! THANKS FOR THE IDEA, MAN! XD
Disclaimer: Nah, even though it's pretty cool to say I own Percabeth and make a living out of it, I don't so...*CRIES A THOUSAND TEARS*
Thalia's P.O.V
"I'm sorry, ."
I winced, trying to fight back the urge to break another one of his prized possessions.
"Please just stop with the sugar-coding. If you're going to say something bad, just say it already." I remarked bitterly, tears forming in my eyes.
"You know, I think it may be better if Mr. Jackson arrives." Dr. Apollo shrugged, not meeting my eyes.
"Alright." I breathed in, not wanting to set all my anger off.
Stay strong, Annabeth. Please.
"I'm here!" Percy yelled, a bit wet, and panting.
"Took you long enough." I scoffed, glaring at him.
He should've come earlier, but he didn't.
A deep emotion full of annoyance hit me as I looked at him, but I knew I should contain my remarks.
This is all for Annabeth.
"I'm sorry; I was losing the track of time while I was with Annabeth. I came as soon as I could once I knew you called."
Aside from my annoyance, I saw how his sea green eyes held guilt and a bit of sadness in them, which replaced the usual mischievous light and playfulness in his eyes.
Even though he was in idiot, he was an idiot with a heart.
"The more time you spend with her, the better. Now, sit down, Percy." Dr. Apollo replied, smiling a bit.
"Okay..." Percy sat down, looking a bit tense, guarded. His face was expressionless, as he waited for the worst to come.
"I have a few questions to ask both of you before I say anything. Is that good with the two of you?"
"Yeah, sure."
"It depends on the questions you ask."
"Alright, so let's get started...have either one of you guys seen anything strange going on with Ms. Chase?"
Dr. Apollo searched through his papers, regarding us as if we weren't there.
"Um...well, at points, Annabeth looks like she's having the best day, but within seconds, something passes through her, and she doesn't feel as good." Percy replied worryingly.
"Okay, okay...does she tend to have colds a lot?"
"More than before, yeah." I replied, not knowing where this was going.
"How about high fevers?"
"Yeah." Percy nodded.
"Does Annabeth get tired at points, more than usual?"
"Strange enough, yeah." I replied, getting more worried as he started to fire questions upon questions.
"Okay...Unfortunately to say, Annabeth isn't fighting as hard as we wanted her to. She's dying faster than we all planned...I'm sorry."
"You know what, Dr. Apollo? You probably have to go through this every day of your stinking miserable life, and you've probably been apologizing to every single patient you came across. Well, guess what? Why am I and Percy getting your sorry? Why isn't Annabeth here? You're not sorry. So just stop apologizing every moment you get, alright?!"
There went my anger.
I wanted to yell more, but I couldn't. I knew I would've hurt someone, so I started to take deep breaths, whilst closing my eyes.
Please Annabeth.
Why am I the one who isn't dying?
It should've been me.
"Ms. Grace...I think it's best if you leave. Once you calm down, you can come back in whenever you'd like, alright?" Dr. Apollo smiled a sickly sweet smile, making me want to barf on his face, no matter how good looking he was.
"Oh, shut up. Annabeth's her best friend. Do you think Thalia's going to be leaving anytime soon no matter how mad and angry she gets?" Percy jumped in, glaring at Apollo.
For once, Percy finally seemed relevant in something.
Go figure.
"Young man, I know you're in a state of pain and denial right now, but-"
"What am I denying? That my girlfriend's going to die soon? I know she is, as much as it hurts to say. I know her days are numbered. Don't try to make everything seem as if it's all alright, okay? It's just making it all worse for us. So stop. Please." Jackson said every worred bitterly, looking him dead in the eye.
"Okay, I will. But as I was saying before, Annabeth doesn't know she's dying, right? She's dying faster than we thought, though. I thought about chemotherapy, but what good will that do? Ms. Chase has stage four cancer, and we want her to stay in her state of mind...it's useless."
"But wouldn't the chemo allow her to live longer?" I asked, millions of ideas running through my head.
"Yes, but it's not very clear on how long Annabeth will be living while on chemotherapy. It can be a couple of weeks, or a couple of months."
"But Wise Girl will still stay with us 1 more day than she was going to. I don't care about anything else, but spending more time with her before it's too late." Kelp Head's eyes were deadly calm, almost making me a bit skittish.
"Yes, that's correct...but then you'll have to tell her that you both knew all along that she had cancer, but never told her. And on top of that, if Annabeth Chase got chemotherapy, she'll live longer, but filled with pain every single more day she spends time on this earth." Dr. Apollo looked edgy, almost getting angry with Percy and I.
"Then what are we going to do? I don't want my best friend to die, but I don't want her in pain." I teared up, almost having a breakdown.
What was going to happen to Annabeth?
What am I gonna do?
Why is all of this happening?
"It's not my decision. But just remember to put her best interests to heart, as much as it may not be what you wanted."
Whoa, this was a pretty heavy chapter...with tons of drama, wasn't it? Well, I hoped you guys still liked it, nonetheless. Again, I can't explain how guilty I feel for not updating sooner like I promised. Please please PLEASE forgive me? Well, bye you guys! Please review!
