ANNABETH POV:

I heard a knock on the door of my dorm. I rolled my eyes. I was just getting to a good part in my book, and there was no good reason in the world to interrupt me while I was reading.

Maybe I could get away with not opening the door, pretending no one was home.

I could not respond and maybe whoever was at the door would give up and walk away.

I just wanted to escape into fantasy and forget about the awfulness of the other night.

It had been a whole two days since my double date with Percy and Calypso. Forty eight hours.

Luke had called a couple times to see if I wanted to meet up and do something.

I told him I needed to work on an architecture assignment I had finished a week ago.

I wasn't exactly sure why I was avoiding him, but I just didn't feel like dealing with people who would ask me about the date.

It was just nice to be alone, and now even that was being jeopardized. Another aggressive knock at the door.

"Who is it?" I let my annoyance seep into my tone.

I knew it was kind of unfair to be yelling at someone out of the blue, but I really didn't want to deal with people right now.

"Annabeth?"

I froze. His low, kind of nervous voice was unmistakable. Percy.

"Um…"

"Can I come in?"

I closed my eyes for a moment, considering.

This was the boy who had broken my heart.

Then again, I knew him. I knew he wouldn't go away.

I got up after marking my page and made my way to the door, slowly opening it and bracing myself for pain.

He looked too good. His jet black hair was messier than usual and he looked freaking gorgeous. So unfair.

"Hi." My voice was way weaker than I'd wanted it to be, but I couldn't change it now. "Come in."

"Thanks." He sat in my desk chair and I sat on my bed.

"What's up?"

He looked over at me with those sea greens, and I remembered all the reasons why I loved him.

Crap.

I was in love with him. I didn't realize I hadn't actually admitted it to myself until right now.

I was in love with Percy Jackson. And it was all a mess.

"I just… I just wanted to talk about the other night."

I winced. "I don't want to hear about how you got with Calypso, okay?"

He looked confused. "Calypso and me… We didn't…"

"Oh." I tried to ignore the happiness and hope growing in my chest. He hadn't slept with Calypso! "So then what did you want to talk about?"

He looked down, looking more nervous than I had ever seen him.

"Percy?"

He took a deep breath. "Remember when I was a jerk to you?"

I frowned. "Uh, yeah. I guess. Why?"

"Well, I wanted to clear some things up."

"Okay..."

I" didn't mean to be an asshole. Well, actually yes I did. Wait. Um… Can I start over?"

I smiled. "Yeah."

"Thanks." He gave me a grin that made my heart swell. "I know I was mean to you. I know I said dumb things." He shook his head. "I didn't want to get hurt. No one does. I didn't mean any of the things I said, okay?"

"Then.. why did you say them?"

He sighed. "I was scared. I felt things. For you." He looked back up at me with puppy eyes.

He was so sincere and it made my heart break a little. He had hurt me. Could I ever actually forgive him?

"Seeing you on that date... It was hell. I don't want you and Luke to be together. I was jealous."

"Me too," I whispered.

"Can we just be okay again?"

A tear slipped down my cheek. I walked toward him slowly before throwing myself into his arms. "Okay, Seaweed Brain."

"Okay?"

"Okay!"

He kissed my forehead, and then the tip of my nose.

"You," he said, with so much adoration that might heart melted.

I leaned forward and brushed my lips with his.

He gently pushed his tongue into my mouth and I moved it with mine.

He put his hands on my hips and squeezed.

I moaned quietly into our kiss and smiled.

He smiled back and I pulled away and rested my head on his chest, listening to his fast beating heart and closing my eyes.

"You're my Wise Girl from now on. It's us. You and me," he murmured into my hair.

I nodded happily against his hard and comforting chest. "You and me," I murmured back.

He smelled like cookies and the ocean just like always. It was my new favorite scent. I breathed him in, his humour, his sweetness and his smile. He was everything. I couldn't believe he was actually mine.

I pulled back as a sudden thought crossed my mind. "Wait, what about Calypso?"

Percy frowned. "I don't know. That was never serious."

"Okay." I returned to my spot on his chest, feeling a little bit uneasy. "Um, can you elaborate?"

Percy was deep in thought, and I guessed he didn't hear me because he was staring at the ceiling in concentration.

But I couldn't let it go.

What if Calypso thought they were still dating?

What if I was his second choice? I always seemed to be people's second choices…

But I needed to stop worrying. I needed to just enjoy the moment as best as I could.

It was just a small tickle in the back of my mind, and I didn't need to focus on that, at leas not right now.

After a couple minutes of Percy holding me, he jerked back suddenly. "Oh crap, is it three already? I have plans with Jason! I have to go. I'll talk to you later okay?"

He placed a small chase kiss on my lips and I smiled.

"Bye."

I sat on my bed for a couple of seconds happily before I realized I should tell the news to my friend who gave the best love advice in the world. Piper.

I dialed her number and she answered after two rings. "What's up, chica?"

"Percy just came in and told me he wanted to be with me and I forgave him."

Piper was silent for a couple seconds. "Wow," she finally said. "That's a lot of information."

I laughed. "Yeah. But I think we could work together. I think this could be really great."

"I'm happy for you, Anna. I really am. As long as he isn't a complete idiot again, things should be great."

I laughed. "Yeah."

"Oh! I see Jason and Percy! I'm going to go say hi. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay."

In the background I heard Jason raising his voice at Percy. The only word I could make out was 'Rachel'.

"Bye, lovey!"

"Bye…" I trailed off, wondering what was happening with Jason and Percy.

Did I have to be worried? Percy hadn't really answer my question about whether they were going to date. He hadn't really talked about us being exclusive, or even what we were at all.

I sighed, grabbing my light grey fluffy owl pillow and plopping down onto the bed.

What was going on with Calypso? And what was I going to do about it?


Awwwwww. Percabeth.

I love them.

Okay, well I don't freaking know what to say herrreeee.

Blah. I don't know how people come up with this kind of thing.

Love,
