Yes... yell at me all you want. I have greatly sinned. I know I feel so bad that I haven't gotten to write in like two to three weeks. But I was really busy with all these tests, projects, and essays to write. It was very stressful for me these last few weeks. But since I have a four day weekend I promise to write more chapters. Just saying, I promise something like this will never happen again. I will promise you guys that unless something very very important happens, I will update every week (by the latest.) I am so sorry. I have no excuses to give. This is a short chapter but I hope you like it. And thank you for all those who actually reviewed while I was gone. It meant a lot. I felt so bad just ignoring this story! To make it up to you, I will make a new story. It will be up probably by tomorrow or Sunday. Latest Monday. I will not tell you the summary so you have to wait until I upload it. I am so excited. I just wonder if my next story will be like a new hit like this story. I never expected my first story to have so many reviews. I promise you I will update at least every two days these next two weeks since I have been MIA lately. Sorry... :( Please forgive me.
Chapter 29:
Annabeth POV
He then turns back to his parents and ask, "Who's Annabeth Chase? That was the first thing that came up as I woke up. Do you know her?" My body went stiff.
He doesn't remember me. Of all times, he has to forget me. I take a step back but I bump into the counter behind me. No words could come out. Not even one cry would come out of my mouth. I couldn't say a thing. A tear slips out but I don't wipe it off. I just couldn't help but shake and look like I lost everything. Then I heard him again.
"Perhaps are you Annabeth Chase?"
It's ok Annabeth. You were ready for this. You said that you would do anything. You just wanted him awake and alive. Just as long as he was awake. Since he is awake right now, something had to be taken away: his memories.
I don't say anything nor do I cry. I forbade myself from doing that. I slowly just walked to the door. Not even daring to look back once. I left. I felt a tap on my shoulder but I don't look back. I couldn't. I kept on walking but Sally stood in front of me.
I didn't look up at her but I stopped. "Oh honey…" and she gave me a huge bear hug. "Don't worry. He will get his memories back. We could tell him about you. Don't worry." But then I immediately looked at her and said, "NOO! Please don't tell him. Just let him be. I don't want him to know. Please… all I will ever do is give him pain. Please…" She looked at me in a defeated way but I kept shaking my head.
He doesn't need to know. Actually it is better if he doesn't know. He will just remember me as a weird girl he first saw in the hospital. It doesn't matter. I pulled away from the warm embrace and left. I left the hospital and walked wherever my legs pulled me too. I finally found myself in the middle of the woods where there was a lake in the middle.
I sat down and just stood still. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. But nothing came out. I just stood there thinking. It's ok. I could get over Percy easily right?
Percy POV
Annabeth. Why is that name so familiar? I don't understand a thing. Is there a reason why I remember her name? My head started to go all dizzy so I stopped trying to remember.
But she looked so sad that I wanted to go right next to her and hug her. My mom coming in disturbed my thoughts.
"Honey, the doctors said that you could either stay in the hospital for one more day or they could discharge you right now. What do you want to do?"
"Uh. I want to go home right now." I replied.
"Ok let me just get the paperwork done. Do you need help getting your clothes on?"
"No. I'm good. Oh and what happened to that girl that was in my room?"
"Oh…" She was looking everywhere but my eyes. "Uh… she left. It's ok. She said she was in the wrong room."
I knew she was lying to me. But what was the reason she had to lie? That just makes me want to see her even more.
"Mom." I said before she left the room, "When could I see her again? Does she go to Goode?"
My mom was pondering for a second and she replied, "Yes she does go to Goode." And with that, she left the room.
Ok. Now all I have to do is find out why she was crying in my room. Who she is. How much did she mean to me. I have so many questions but there are so little answers!
My mom lying and her leaving without a trace makes me even more curious. For some reason now I really need to know who she is.
LINEBREAK-AT SCHOOL
Annabeth POV
The word is out. All of a sudden Percy is missing for a week and now he comes back with no memory. Everyone knows that the reason was because of me. Someone must have seen the incident with the flower pot. Which means there will be fingers pointed at me. It was my fault that the famous Percy Jackson lost his memory. I was ready for all the blaming and the finger pointing. I was ready. Anyways it was my fault from the start.
I walk in and the first thing I see are people looking at me in disgust. They don't even talk to me. They whisper in each other's ear and stay at least a meter in distance from me. It's ok. They never cared about me before and now they are just talking bad about me. So nothing really matters now. Everything is the same. I'm not hurt by that and I couldn't care less.
Right when I was going open my locker, to put all the heavy books in my hands away, two figures bumped me into the locker making all my books fall. My glasses fell but thankfully it did not break. I glare at two girls: Rachel and Drew. I went to pick up my books but without my glasses it was hard. I went to find my glasses. As I was looking, I kept hearing my books swishing on the floor. I stop and look up and a whole crowd of people were around me kicking my books away from my hands.
First thing is first, I need to find my glasses. I need to get rid of this stupid blurry vision. According to my poor vision, I see some black frames and reach out to get them but they are taken away from me. I look up but then feel something on my face.
Everything that was blurry turned clear. Like a new world opened. When my eyes got used to the change, I look at a person in front of me. Percy. He is smiling at me and said, "We don't want these glasses to get stepped on do we?" He chuckled and picked up all my books for me. Everyone who kicked my books just looked stunned and quickly ran away while they had the chance.
Rachel and Drew were stunned. I just sat there quietly making no noise but breathing.
"Oh Percy. You're back! Do you still remember me? I'm Rachel!" Rachel said.
"Yea, I didn't lose all my memories. I still remember everything about school. I just don't remember recent events." Percy said. He put all the books into my opened locker and closed it for me. He turned to me but was blocked by Rachel. I used that time run off. I quickly turned to the corner into another hallway.
I heard Percy tell Rachel to move aside for just a second. But quickly went back to talking to her realizing that I was gone.
I run out to the front of the school and just sit on a bench to first, calm down, and second, think everything else through. I'm smart, so why is this so hard to think through?
I know it is sooo short! Sorry. Like I promised, I will try to update as soon as possible... If you have any suggestions, please feel free to give me some. Although I have this whole story planned out, I just want to see if you guys want me to add anything else. Please review!
Question of the Day:
What genre of music do you like best?
Mine is ballad. I know boring huh? Everyone likes pop or rock and I like them too but my favorite are ballads. It just soothes me down. I know kind of boring that's the person I am. A boring person. :)
