Okay...Part ONE (did you hear that? Part one...part two is below ;D) is done...let's get to the story! :)
Annabeth POV:
SPLOOOSHHH!
I stopped. Turning around, I saw that Percy disappeared.
No.
This can't be...
"Percy?" I called out. "PERCY!"
Panic arouse on my chest as I immediately took off my work bag and shoes. Without carrying to take out my socks, I dove inside the water, walking towards it until the cold water made me feel a sinking feeling.
I kept swimming.
I knew I was a horrible swimmer. But I could at least do a few tricks...maybe a freestyle and a very horrible butterfly? I wanted so badly to be a good swimmer when we were doing the swimming unit, so I dove in water and worked so hard on butterfly.
Look at how messed up my butterflies are.
But anyway, I started to swim towards the graceful Percy that rose in the water, graceful like a whale springing out for a breath of air. His bangs cascaded down immediately on his face, completely drenched. The wind blew on my face, letting my mind only think of the cold. I shivered as my pace of swimming slowed...
He swam towards me.
I glided in the water there...only waiting for him to come and embrace into a hug and tell him I loved him for everything. I wanted to scold him for making me think of my horrible butterflies and caused me to feel the sudden panic that made me feel the same way when I had to do a 10 minute lap for swimming at high school.
He gave me that panic attack.
I was about to come towards him but he sped away from me, diving in the water and paddling away.
I closed my eyes, feeling the sudden betrayal.
He stared at my eyes fully and he passed by me, diving as-
I gasped once I felt arms around me, my heart beat pacing as I turned away, seeing Percy's stern look though if you looked deeply at them, they also showed the sudden warmth filling in as if I was eating just baked cookies.
"Why are you out here?" he said, his voice gruff though it was shaking.
"You...you were gone..." was the only words I said before I turned me around, a warm hug (could there ever be a warm hug in cold water? Is it ever possible? Because I am quite confused because I am right now receiving a warm hug...). His hand was buried inside my hair, holding my head so carressingly, I wanted to melt in his grasp at that thought.
But then I realized...
I pulled away the sudden urge of the pretty girl playing in my mind.
She was pretty.
And I think...was her name Piper? But whatever that is...the girl named Piper seemed to have such a pretty figure with a kind heart. The way she kissed Percy...the sudden panic and urge as if it was true love...
But I was his Wise Girl.
So much confused thoughts rammed in my brain but I decided to just duck my head, slowly swimming away from him.
When I walked back to land, I felt something on my wrists and Percy was holding them, his grasp tight as his eyes were full of desperation.
Those sea-green orbs began to loose its beautiful glint.
"Annabeth...stay with me," he whispered, shivering a bit as beads of water dripped down his hair. "Stay with me Annabeth. Just for tonight."
Oh gosh.
He is killing me.
"I..." my voice trailed off as his eyes were full of sadness.
"Letting me go now, huh?" he asked, trying to sound casual. "Just because of a stupid camera that video taped nonsense."
"It's not only that," I told him. I knew that he wouldn't do that...a bit? I always had a feeling it was false but something hurt.
The girl was pretty.
And they kinda did look good together. Perfect actually. Her brown hair looked nice with his black hair. When she leaned in, they looked perfect as if it was a Broadway poster for a five star movie. The girl was wearing a yellow dress and her hair was braided and she looked so pretty. The way she looked so desperate when she kissed his lips that had access only to me...
He could marry someone as pretty as her. A girl like me who can't even focus on her style...can't even pick a perfect necktie...it was so greedy and foolish of me to fall in love with him.
But...
He's perfection.
For several minutes, I was shivering in the cold as I kept listing the list of how perfect Piper (I think...or was it Peony?) and Percy looked together. How perfect the two could've been together...
"Annabeth...I want an answer right now," he said, his voice stern.
Dang it.
"I'll stay with you tonight," the words escaped out of my lips without my consent. I widened my eyes, my hands touching my lips as he smirked.
"Let's go Wise Girl," he said, scooping me up as I screamed.
"LET ME GO-," my voice was interrupted as he walked across the bridge, my eyes closed as my seemed to nuzzle onto his on ever step he took. He soon put me in the front seat car, my seat belt getting buckled by him. He then gave me a smile and went towards the driver's seat, starting the ignition once inside.
"You should take a shower-,"
"Will you shut up?" I spat, the sudden anger boiling inside of me.
Funny thing...
I didn't even know why.
I just felt like all the confused, angry feelings of the kiss and the tired feeling of working hard for the whole day and skipping work had made me feel cranky as ever.
He drove away toward his house.
It was silent when we drove to his house. When we went inside...
Silent.
When he casually walked up the stairs...
Silent.
When I stood their helplessly as water was dripping down from my hair...
Silent.
When Percy threw a towel at me...
A muffled scream.
I grasped the towel, drying bits of my hair as he rolled his eyes, the sudden new attitude striking me as well.
"I am going to sleep in my room," he said with a stern voice. "You are going to sleep in that couch over there."
Wow.
I thought he would at least make me sleep in the empty rooms upstairs.
But guess what?
It's the couch.
I was fine truthfully; it is just the way he said it made it so unexpected...
I gave him a rude smile, his eyes narrowed.
"I am sorry, Prissy," I taunted. Our new co-worker, Clarisse, had totally teased Percy calling him Prissy.
"You did not..." his voice trailed as if I gave him a taunting wink.
"Good night Prissy," I enphasized again. "I do hope you sleep comfortably."
"Just go shower in the restroom over there," he pointed at the bathroom in the hallway. "You're going to smell."
So...so...RUDE!
"Oh, I was going to anyway," I spat.
"Even with my permission?" he glared.
"Of course Prissy," I glared, storming away to the restroom as he closed the door, the lights blinking away as I began to lock the door for a shower...
...
I walked out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me. I was in a stuck situation because I just can't wear the same clothes...
I was so stuck for a minute until I saw a sticky note down on the floor, only the blue paper shown a little bit.
I ducked to get it down, and it said: I still hate you. But just use the clothes in the front door. You could at least comfortably in it. -Percy
I sighed, noticing a cute little fish next to his name with the blue sticky note.
Blue.
Smiling a bit as the sudden anger I complained while showering slowly disappeared.
But then the girl...
I should stop comparing but something about me made me keep comparing. Would Percy love her more than me? If there was two doors and he saw only the pictures of both of us...
Oh gosh.
I quickly opened the door and took the clothes.
They were blue.
Well...it was pjs. But it was a night gown.
Strange.
I don't think Percy would be secretly keeping dresses in his closet...
It was baby blue with cute cartoon fishes again with one huge fish sewn on the middle and had a caption under saying, Mrs. Fishie
Mrs. Fishie.
Mrs. Fishie.
What if that girl was Mrs. Fishie? I was supposed to be his Mrs. Fishie.
Oh my gosh...what is wrong with me?
I quickly saw the spare underwear and tanktop (and gosh, wanted to punch his face but couldn't help but sorta thank him...bra...) and soon dressed into the clothes.
I walked out.
I breathed a sigh, only to feel a towel on my shoulder and saw Grover smiling.
"Miss. Annabeth, would you like anything before going to bed?"
"No thank you...but thanks for the offer," I smiled and he gave a small nod before going away.
Thank you so much Grover for giving me the towel.
I dried my hair while going towards my workbag that was weirdly placed on the couch. I saw the notes still in my hands and grabbed my wallet inside the workbag.
I stuck it inside.
Smiling a bit, I put the workbag down and realized there was a pillow perched on the couch.
I laid down.
The cold air blew inside as I shivered a bit, suddenly wishing Percy's arms around me. How warm he would be...how his body would just melt into mine and-
Gosh...
I should stop...
I shuddered, more cold air from the window that was slightly open blowing against my skin.
I started to miss the hot shower.
How the water warmed me up unlike this stupid air that immediately made me feel cold...
I sighed before my eye lids began to get just a bit heavy.
Oh great; I am beginning to sleep.
I snuggled closer to the couch before I saw Percy come downstairs with a few surprises.
First...him.
Second...his pajamas...
His pajamas were exactly the same except it was a two piece. He was wearing the fish pants that were baby blue but had cute fishes that were so adorable. His shirt was long sleeved but had a big fish (a little bigger than mine...and his had a hat...) that's caption said: Mr. Fishie
I died when I saw that.
Third...two pillows and two blankets...
I breathed a sigh, pretending to ignore that he was here.
He was silent too. As I looked at my perepheral vision, he was setting the pillows on the table that seperated the couch between Percy and me. He threw the pillow at me.
It was a fish pillow with that same huge fish written in the middle: Mrs. Fishie.
He threw the pillow which had a Mrs. Fishie in the middle.
I wanted to roll my eyes so bad to make him angry, but when I put down the original pillow I had and replaced it with the fish pillow...I died.
It smelled like Percy. His sea cologne that wanted me to just hug Percy and rest my head against my chest. Oh gosh...the night gown even smells like his cologne...
Dang it.
I quickly buried my head, the blonde curls already beginning to be a curled mess.
Oh my gosh.
How would Percy think of me? Why am I acting so impressive towards him? I am just going to act like myself...
"Why are you here?" the words escaped my lips without my consent.
Again.
"Upstairs was too hot," he said, laying down on the couch.
"Isn't that the point? It is supposed to be really cold here. You should be warmed up."
"Is that your concern?" he said rudely and the feeling of hurt spread through my heart.
But wait.
I shouldn't even care in the first place.
"It was just a question," I rolled my eyes.
"I just prefer here," he spat.
"Whatever," I rolled my eyes, closing them afterwards. "Just go to sleep."
"Fine!" he spat and closed his eyes too.
And then...
After a few minutes...
Everything became black...
...
I woke up because every swallow felt so horrible.
It was like...I was so dehydrated.
The sun hadn't even set yet. I just walked towards the kitchen, my throat throbbing as I searched for water.
Right when I was going to reach a cup, Percy grabbed my wrists.
"What are you doing?" he spat, his voice raspy as ever.
"I was just getting water you fool!" I replied with an annoyed voice.
"Ask permission."
"You were asleep."
"So?"
"I was dehydrated!" I mumbled.
"Don't do that."
"Huh?"
"Don't scare me like that. I thought a burglar was here."
"This is how the brain works for a Seaweed Brain."
"Will you shut up?"
"Make me," I said childishly, the sudden anger boiling inside of me.
"Just ask next time."
"Fine. I will."
"Good. Now pour me a cup of water."
"No."
"Please?"
"Don't even try."
"Why are you so mean to me?"
"I am not exactly being mean," I glared as the sea-green orbs showed a sudden hurt.
"Whatever. I am going to bed," he said and walked away.
Rolling my eyes I drank the cup of water, the sudden guilt of snapping at him emerging in my chest.
I decided to pour him a cup of water as well.
I slowly walked down the hallway, so scared that I would trip and break the cup. I soon walked towards him until everything happened quick.
I tripped on the table leg and tumbled down, the glass shattering as my arms were prickled. I screamed and I soon saw the lights flicker open, pain shooting against my skin as tears began to form on my eyes.
I broke a glass cup.
And the water was gone...Percy wasn't able to drink the water.
I winced, strong arms pulling me up as I started to feel tears form in my eyes. He pulled me towards the couch that I laid on, his look so stern that when he looked at my arms...
Oh gosh, I am so lucky.
There were no glass bits stuck on my skin, but there were so much scars. I breathed heavily as he rummaged through the small cabinet on the table and soon took out a first aid kit. He rummaged through the aid kit with one hand. The other hand was firmly holding my wrist.
Everything was silent when he wrapped the bandage around my skin, me wincing a bit as he cringed from his mistakes. After ten minutes or so, we were finished.
Percy put the materials back inside, the only noise was the clinking of the box going inside the drawer.
I breathed, my heart feeling heavy as tears formed in my eyes when Percy turned around.
His eyes were so caring as he sat next to me, the pride I once had soon changing into pure embarrassment.
"You alright?" was the first conversation we had after the silence that seemed to contaminate our mouths.
"I...I guess..." I whispered, my voice hoarse.
"You should've been more careful," he said soothingly. "I was so afraid."
I could've shouted back from those words that seemed to boil anger but instead the words slipped out as, "I know."
Because deep in heart...I knew I was the faulty.
"Annabeth...come here," he said and hugged me the sudden tears fell down my eyes.
"I am so sorry," my voice was muffled from the tears and his pajamas that immediately wiped my tears.
"I was so worried...gosh...I just," his voice cracked as he pulled me into another hug. "I don't want to lose you."
"I don't want to either," the words came out pure and fresh. "So hold me close and never let me go..."
...
Percy and I called work and stayed for the day, only to snuggle back in the rocking chair that we surprisingly woke up in...
