AU. I hear the whispers when I walk past. I see the pitiful looks on their faces when they notice the bruises that I try to cover up. I know they're wondering why I don't leave. They would understand if they were in my shoes, if they had to hear the threats and feel the blows. No one ever questioned me. Not until he came along. He was the first that ever dared to ask.

After Annabeth Chase, a 19 year old college drop-out runs away from her family, she was spotted by part-time worker Percy Jackson, but she was asleep when he came. Taking her home with him, Percy leaves her with his mother and younger brother Tyson. When they actually meet with eye contact, how will they react to the-boy-who-saved-the-girl and the-girl-who-was-rescued. AU. OOC.

Five years ago they made a mistake, and she tried to correct it by making another one. Now that Annabeth is back, will old feelings reignite, or will her return be a bad thing for them both? Percy is determined not to let her in his life again, but one cruel twist of fate forces him to face the woman who abandoned him and his son.

Percy and Annabeth had been through so much together, but now that Calypso is in the picture, and a mysterious and very powerful half-blood has been discovered, Percy and Annabeth will once again find themselves in danger greater than they ever faced. One more time, the fate of the world lies on them and the new demigod, Lester.

Together they survived Zeus' wrath, faced the horrors of the Sea of Monsters, carried the burden of the Titan's curse on their shoulders, they defeated the sinister forces of the Labyrinth and made it out of the Titan War alive. Now Percy and Annabeth are about to face the toughest challenge: being a couple.
