Song: Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood
Percy POV
At of all the things I could have said in that moment, I chose THAT. She has clearly moved on and now I was just looking like a needy Ex-boyfriend, I was becoming Luke.
Shit.
I haven't even thought about that asshole. Has he tried anything with her. I mean I've been out of the picture for awhile now so, this would be a perfect time for him to just swoop in.
Shit.
What if he already swooped in!
No.
I'm fine. I mean come on, this is Annabeth Chase were talking about. If Annabeth is one thing, she's smart.
I remember that one last thought as I finally slip into a dream-filled sleep.
I had woken up pretty early compared to other 1PM breakfast mornings. My first thought was obviously go check on Annabeth.
I came out of my room, gave the hallway mirror a glance then stood in front of the guest bedroom door, ready to knock.
Knock.
Nothing. Maybe she isn't up.
Knock, harder.
Okay, defiantly not up.
So, I walked in. I was right too, she wasn't up.
Would it be creepy if I walked up to her and watched her sleep.
Yeah?
Oh well.
I stood there for a few minutes when her phone that laid on the nightstand next to the bed. I looked over at it and saw not only a text from her dad but, her lock screen. A picture of her and I.
Thalia had taken Annabeths phone to see if "she had some naughty things in her google search bar" Which she didn't. It was a picture of the side of our faces, I had kissed the tip and her nose while she scrunched it up and shut her eyes, she was smiling. Thalia had taken this and we didn't even know, well clearly Annabeth knew. I didn't know she put it as her lock screen. Why would she keep that as her lock screen, unless...
Maybe. A big maybe.
Annabeth POV
So once I finally got up I looked at my phone and so yet another text from my dad.
Ignore.
I stepped out of the guest bedroom and saw myself in the mirror that was on the hallway door. I looked like I had one fucked up night.
My hair was in snarls my eyes were the puffiest I've ever seen them and, my eyes were blood-shot red, not to mention the line of drool starting at the corner of my mouth and ending at the back of my ear.
Percy was always the drooler in the relationship.
The ex-relationship.
After rubbing off the drool I walked in to the kitchen following the smell of pancakes.
"Miss. Jackson"? I asked but shortly got my answer when I finally did walk in the kitchen to see a tired looking Percy holding two plates of strawberry pancakes.
"Sadly, no. But I'm the next best thing". He said as he set the plates down on the table and, leaned back on the counter behind him and he just smiled.
I smiled back.
"I see sleeping beauty has woken up" he said and he sat down and held out his hand beckoning for me to sit across from him, I sat.
"Where's your mom?" I asked as I dug into my strawberry pancakes. Holy shit it was good!
"She's on a trip for work, so I've been stuck her for a few days-and more to come, alone".
"Poor you". I said while I rubbed my eyes with my lip pouting like a bay would when it cries.
He laughed.
"Funny". His tone became serious for a second. "So how are you holding up, no offense Annie but, you like hell".
Wow. He sure knows how to help my ego.
"Yeah I guess its just been hard, you know?"
"I could never imagine my mom dying, it would probably break me. Like seeing her lying in a casket. Calling her name only to find out that she wouldn't respond, she couldn't". He started out into space as if he was imagining it.
I couldn't talk, I couldn't even think. I mean that's what I'm going to have to go through. I may not have seen my mom recently but we did talk we would right each other letters, all the time. Then one day the letters just, stopped. Now I know why, she was in too much pain to write, and that was okay, because she isn't in pain anymore. she'll never have to go through the pain again. A tear rolled down my cheek.
"Annie...I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to- God I'm an idiot."
"No, no its okay. You didn't do anything wrong". I meant it when I said it too. He didn't say anything wrong, gods know I would be curious too.
"Can I ask one more question then we stop talking about it all together?" He said his eyes staring right into mine.
"Of course."
"So will there be a funeral or-" He asked while he scratched his head.
"No, its just going to be me my grandfather and my aunt, maybe my dad- if he comes. We decided to bury her here since most of the family is here."
"Oh, did you all figure out a date."
"We've been planning this for awhile so I'm guessing in two or three days"
"Annie, I'm so sorry. You can stay here for as long as you like". He sounded genuine.
Okay, the last thing I want is to get close to Percy and have a re due of the last few months, but I rather stay at my worst enemy house then stay with my dad at the moment.
"That would be amazing, thank you Percy".
"Anything for you wise girl". He got up and took my almost empty plate along with his and put it in the sink.
"So are we going to stop by your house so you can pick up something"? Percy asked as he turned around and leaned back.
I nodded in agreement.
See this wasn't awkward, at all. Percy and I could be friends and nothing more.
This was gonna be a piece of cake.
Yayyy. So thoughts on Percy and Annabeth being just friends, do you all think it will last or will the sexual tension be too much to handle.
I guess only time will tell.
So please favorite and follow also review because I love reading what you guys have to say.
Love, Bella
