RosieReads222: Your review was so nice! Thank you so much, you're so sweet! And btw, I'm the one who's lucky to have you reading this story...

Percy's P.O.V.

They were watching the New Year countdown on Jason's TV. It was coming to an end.

"10."

"9."

"8."

"7." They heard the knob turn behind them, and became alert. The door opened slightly, but not all the way. Jason's door got stuck sometimes.

"6."

"5." There was a light pounding on the door. They all set their champagne glasses down, on high alert.

"4."

"3." They heard another pounding sound, the door opened, and someone's crutch fell on the floor near the front door.

"2." Annabeth came rushing into the room. Their eyes met. He smiled. She smiled. Everything was perfect. Annabeth, he thought. She was back! And she was okay. And she was here. Everyone went silent. It felt like time had stopped. Percy could feel his friend's eyes on them.

"1." She had crutches but still walked up to him quickly. She stood in front of him, only a few inches shorter. She looked as confident as ever.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!" the TV screamed. And Annabeth kissed him. Finally, he thought. Her lips felt soft and warm against his. The kiss was both passionate and desperate. He kissed her back with all his might trying to deliver a message: I love you. Gods, he loved her so much.

They separated and rested their foreheads together. The rest of the group was cheering, and he heard Piper saying something along the lines of "See? I told you!"

"I love you so much," Annabeth said, breathless.

Percy smirked. "I love you too, Wise Girl."

They burst out laughing and hugged real tight.

"GROUP HUG!" Leo shouted, ruining the moment. Everyone threw themselves onto Percy and Annabeth, making it hard to determine if they were in high school or immature first graders.

After everyone welcoming Annabeth back home, everyone decided that they would pull an all-nighter after watching a movie. They decided on watching Titanic because, well, what better movie to bring out the feels at 2 in the morning?

When Rose was on the piece of wood, and Jack was about to die, everyone was crying. Especially Percy. He really saw himself and Annabeth as Jack and Rose right about now. Also, that boat would cause a lot of pollution for sea life.

After the movie was over, they just sat on the couch and cuddled.

"So," Percy said, "that was our first kiss."

Annabeth smiled. "I don't regret a thing. You have salty lips, by the way."

"Is that bad?" Percy whispered, going pale.

Annabeth laughed, and dam was it adorable. "No, it's a good salty." She went up and kissed him again. "I can't believe I ever chose anything else over you, Seaweed Brain. Gods was I stupid."

Percy smirked. "No," he said sarcastically. "The great Annabeth being stupid? I've never heard of such a thing!"

"Shut up," she said, rolling her eyes and slapping his arm playfully.

Annabeth ended up falling asleep on his lap. She looked really cute when she was sleeping. The rest of his friends were asleep. So much for the all-nighter.

He checked his phone. It was 4 a.m.

He had to admit; he was tired as well. He slowly drifted off to sleep, thinking about his first kiss.

;;;

When he woke up, Annabeth was already up. He was now in her lap, and there was a napkin under his face.

Annabeth was running her fingers in his hair.

She gave him a disapproving look. "You drool when you sleep."

Imma be uploading the epilogue soon enough. I can't believe it's almost over! Thanks to all of you! I can't believe I just reached 20k views!
