I still haven't reached a conclusion! Please review and lemme know whether you lot want Percabeth or Pereyna. Anyway, let's get going with the story.
ANNABETH
She started walking towards her car. Rather running. Why?! Why is this happening? Why me? Why Percy?!
She should have had been mad at him. But she failed even at that. Oh, why do I love you so much?!
Luckily, there was no one in the corridor, so she let her tears flow freely. But her luck was messing with her today. She found Leo, Calypso and Piper in the parking lot. They were laughing at something, and Annabeth didn't waste any time and paced towards her car.
Might be they noticed her tears, cause that seemed the only possible explanation for their laughter to die abruptly.
"Hey Annabeth" she heard Piper call out behind her as she opened the door of her car. She didn't care to respond. I don't give a fuck about anything now. The only thing, the only dream she had cared about had just been shattered.
Piper and Calypso had started walking towards her car, but she simply drove out of the parking lot. A little bit too fast, it seems as she was caught by a police man.
Icing on the cake! She opened her car window when the officer knocked on it. She had been crying till now, but she managed herself. Or so she thought.
"You were over-pacing, ma'am" it was then when he seemed to notice the tear-marks on her face. She desperately tried to wipe them off with her sleeves but the man had already noticed it.
"Love matter?" he asked her politely. She was embarrassed, but she nodded to the statement nonetheless.
"I get it, dear" he said softly, "Even I am a father to a girl. She's older than you." He had sympathy on his eyes, I don't need your fucking sympathy!
"Though I am not as rich as you, I must say" he commented on her car, she gave a short laugh despite herself. The man seemed comely.
"Even she had a break-up" he patted her head softly, "Don't you worry dear, everything happens for a cause."
"Hmm" she nodded meekly to his words. Why am I nodding?
"And now looking at my daughter, you can never tell that she had locked herself up in her room for two days after her break-up." He let out a sigh, "I'll let you go this time, child. But make sure that this is the only time, ok?"
"Yes officer," she managed to say, "Thank you" the man nodded and started walking off when she found herself calling to the man, "Officer?"
"Yes child?" he turned.
"Did she-uh, your daughter I mean, did she patch-up with her boyfriend after that?" Why am I asking him this? I shouldn't be! I have no right! But the man didn't seem offended at all. Such men are rarely found.
The man smiled. A smile you give when you greet death. "She's still single" with that he walked away.
I had to ask him?! She closed the windows of her car. "FUUUUUUUUCK!" she screamed. She took a deep breath, sobbed for another few minutes, and pushed the ignition button.
The tears kept flowing, her eyes too small to hold them. But the shakes had gone. And she was careful not to over-speed once again. Next officer won't be as comely, she thought bitterly.
I was such a stupid! What gave me the right to thing that I'll be Percy's perfect girl?! Just because I love him doesn't mean he loves me too!
But he made an eye contact with me that day! He locked his eyes with mine! He must have done that with hundreds of others! Am I also some other girl for him? No! I am Annabeth Chase! Her head had started to ache.
By the time she reached home, the sun was down, and the night had emerged. Even the sun in my life has gone down. She couldn't help but notice the negativity all around her.
She did nothing and went and crashed on her bed. Why do I love you Percy Jackson?! Why?! She screamed in her head and started crying once again. She used the pillow as best as she could to muffle her cries.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!" It seemed like the pillow was doing its job perfectly, as no one came into her room. They can't hear me. Or maybe they can but didn't come in. I am better left alone, or a many of them can lose their jobs today.
Whatever the case, she was left alone. She must have felt asleep, cause she same back to reality when she heard her door open up.
"Jimmy" she called to the family butler, "I am in no mood for any talks now. Lock my door and make sure that no one comes in." she didn't get her face out of the pillow. She didn't want her servants to see her like this.
Her voice must have been muffled, but she hoped that Jimmy would understand. When has anyone cared about my hopes anyway? Her thoughts went back to a pearl of wisdom, never expose your vulnerable front to anyone but whom you trust with your life, her father had once told her.
"Thank you, Jimmy" spoke a lady's voice. A voice she had been hearing since childhood. "I'll take it from here"
"Yes ma'am" Annabeth heard Jimmy lock the door and walk off. At least he listened.
The woman came and sat on the edge of her bed. She placed her hand on Annabeth's legs.
"You weren't supposed to be back for a month, mom!" she said, still keeping her face buried in her pillow. It doesn't matter even if it is muffled now, if I don't muffle it, our neighbours will hear me.
"Well," said Athena Chase, "I own a private jet so I don't think I need to worry about travelling anytime anywhere" she paused for a moment, "Now…tell me what's happened" she started patting Annabeth's leg softly.
Okay, so this chapter was just a filler. I haven't decided anything as there weren't many reviews, so I have decided to wait a little bit more.
So review and tell me whether you want the story to be a Percabeth or a Pereyna.
The next chapter will be out as soon as possible. Till then, Stay Home, Stay Safe and Keep Writing.
