Chapter 10

PERCY POV

We were having a great time. That was until I saw the blonde sanding outside the shop. Oh my gods. Annabeth stood there watching both of us, her face purple with rage. Dang it. Dang it. Dang it.

"I'll be back" I told Rachel and strode outside to meet Annabeth which was a ridiculously bad idea. Rachel looked outside and saw Annabeth. Her eyes flashed with anger. It subsided as quickly as it came and she put on a mask of that don't-care look.

I walked outside, Annabeth watching my every move. Her face morphed into an expression of hurt, disbelief and pain. Pain. It was so obvious in her eyes, I couldn't make myself look into them. I knew it was extremely hard for her to love me because I was a god and I caused her so much pain to her for trusting me.

"Annabeth-" my voice sounded pleading.

"No. Don't, Percy" she said and her voice cracked.

"I can explain" I said to her even though I knew she wouldn't listen.

"Explain what? Explain that you cheated on me? Or the fact that you like Rachel better than me?" her voice is hollow and my heart was heavy with guilt. For letting her down.

"Annabeth, please. It's not what you think it-"

"To hell with what I think! You just took me for some game, Percy. A damned game. I'm so disgusted with you Percy! Do you know how much I had to convince myself to trust you?" she is back to yelling at me and I don't say anything. I deserve it.

"I knew I should have stayed away from you. Gods never keep their promises. They move on and they don't give a damn about people who were hurt by them!" she continued and I smartly stay quiet.

"What's going on?" Rachel's voice stops Annabeth.

"You...you don't know either, do you? That he was cheating on you and me, whoever comes first" she said but she wasn't angry with Rachel. Of course I knew she hated her, but this was all my fault.

"Percy?" Rachel said.

I turned around and force myself to meet her eyes.

"I'm sorry. Rachel. All this wasn't true" I said and I sounded pathetic. She looked like she wanted to hit a wall. Or my face.

"Why?" she asked and it startled me. I thought she would cuss me out but this one surprised me greatly.

"I had no choice"

"Percy, you've hurt not one soul, but two. Two people who don't deserve you." Annabeth said and my face fell.

"Annabeth, please don't leave. Please" I begged her. I needed her more than anything.

"How can you say this after what you've done? It's all over. It's done." she said and began to leave.

"Annabeth!" I called and fell to my knees. The guilt, sadness, and pain was too much.

"I'm done too, Percy. Goodbye" Rachel said, leaving, not even bothering to look at me. I felt bad for her. She thought that I really loved her but this was just a price that I had to pay.

Aphrodite.

Fricking Aphrodite.

I got up. I need to see her. Right away. And I'm going to need answers.

[This was the part that I was waiting for the whole time. I hope you like it because I think it's cool. Lots of sadness and tragedy lol. I think it's pretty long for today combining these two chapters and I'll probably update tomorrow. Probably. I gotta study Bio (I don't know shit about it, I haven't learned anything) so until next time.]
