It was hard... not to notice.

It was hard not to see the way she look at him... the same say she used to.

When did all begin? How did it begin? Why?... 'Why? That's a stupid question, you know why, it happened because you arrogantly thought that just because he's loyal this will never happen...

Now...

Now I have to live with the consequences, even if it breaks my heart... because in the end... this is all my fault...

This...is how the love of my life, my best friend, my hero... my... everything... fell in love with someone else.

This is the story of how Percy Jackson, the greatest hero who has ever walk this earth, fell in love with none other than Phoebe Artemis, the Goddess of Hunt, the Moon, the Goddess of Virginity, and the most man-hating person who has ever lived... and she with him.

It sounds like something out of a love story, but no, Aphrodite had nothing to do with this.

All in all, it happened quite normally... well, as normal as it gets living in a world full with monster out of nightmares and beings of unimaginable power who want nothing more than skin you alive while they make you watch as everything you ever loved being killed in the most terrifying-

"Annabeth!"

… Sorry, got carried away.

As I was saying, the circumstances in which they both fell in love with one another were like any other couple, they got to know one another and slowly but surely - even with them not knowing - they grow so close that seeing both of them together at all times doing this, or that, was so common that you even wonder if they were ever apart, the very definition of the word "perfect" was created for them.

What?... Were you expecting something like...

"Oh! My Prince! You have saved me from the evil hands of those monsters! How can this simple girl ever repair you?... Perhaps a kiss?"

And so the Prince and the girl rode away into the distance in each other arms, happily ever after.

Pffft. HA!

This is bloody Artemis we are talking about for Hades sakes!... Granted with the way we live they had, (and will), saved each other lives a few times at most with the time they have been in each other's company. I'm not saying that it doesn't count, because it does, but you don't fell in love with someone just because they save your life. If that were the case Apollo would probably have thousands of girls at his feet, not that he doesn't already if we're being honest, but that's besides the point.

However, it may be we have gone stray. So, without further preamble... this is how I lost the love of (in my opinion, and many, many more), the greatest man who has/will ever live.

I may sound bitter or perhaps angry... and I was at some point I guess. But for my this happened a few years ago, and thought I do get a bit sad sometimes, I had move on, he's happy, both of them are.

But I guess I can't make a fool of my own heart, Aphrodite convince me to write this, everything I know, everything I felt... or feel I suppose. According to her this will help you, (more like force yourself), to confront all that is buried deep down.

Aphrodite is not so bad once you get to know her, she may act like a whore-

"Hey! I'm right here you know!"

-but she cares, in her own way... besides, she is the Goddess of Love, I suppose she's right... at least this time.

"I'm seriously starting to regret helping you. Not even your mother is this mean with me." Aphrodite glared at Annabeth while crossing her arms below her chest.

"I'm sorry okay! I'm trying!... I'm just... I'm just..."

The Goddess immediately soften her gaze and put a comforting arm on Annabeth. "I know Annie, and I'm sorry to make you do this... but if you want to get better, you need to go through the worst first. Now, keep writing, you're doing a great job so far, don't stop, you're strong, you can do this."

Annabeth took several deep breaths and continued writing.

Okey that wasn't fair, she's amazing and a great person.

I'm sorry again for all that rambling, I guess it's time for me to begin

Don't really expect much action from me, I'm more of a romantic writer. If I ever decide to create a full story with prophecies, battles, etc, I'd do my best, though you'll have to wait, I have no intention right now.

For now I don't have a name for this story, if anyone has any ideas you're more tan welcome.

The next chapter from this short story will be from Percy's POV.

Do please forgive me for such a short chapter, I write as best as I could and I try ending it in a good part, but I'm kind of new. Hope you have enjoy the story and tell me your thoughts.
