Annabeth's POV

Something was wrong. The minute I stepped out of the restaurant and exited the shopping mall, a cold feeling settled upon me. A feeling that there was something terribly wrong. My eyes widened as my eyes shifted from left to right, unbidden memories of what had happened two years ago running through my mind.

It had been one of the scariest and terrifying days of my life. I could still remember the intoxicating fear that squeezed my heart, the adrenaline that coursed through my veins, the constriction my lungs had felt as panic seized me like a python on its prey as it squeezes the life out of them.

If Percy hadn't been there to save me…

"Shit," I swore under my breath and immediately ran to the taxi stand, praying to all the gods that there were still some taxis active at this time of the day.

Granted, it was twelve thirty in the morning and normally people wouldn't be walking around. However, Percy…

The only times Percy hadn't picked me up were when he was recovering from the discovery that Rachel had lost her memories about him and all that. Recently, he had started to pick me up again despite my countless protests.

The fact that he wasn't here to pick me up told me something had happened. The ominous feeling in my gut didn't really help to ease my state of worry and anxiety. Something had definitely happened.

I thanked the gods when I saw a single yellow cab waiting at the taxi stand. I rushed towards it. There was no time to waste.

"Thalia? Nico? And who's tha-" the words got caught in my throat as I realized who was the hunched figure Nico and Thalia were trying to comfort and soothe so badly.

"Annabeth! Thank the gods you're here. Follow me," Thalia said in a hushed voice, waving me to follow her with as she walked towards the kitchen with urgency, leaving Nico behind to whisper words of comfort to Rachel. My eyes caught sight of the worn and weathered diary she was clutching tightly in her hands.

"Percy gave her the diary," I said. It was more of a statement then a question. Thalia heaved a huge sigh. I could literally see the worry etched all over her face.

"It didn't end well. Rachel went hysterical and almost ran out of the house like years ago. We managed to get her inside and we left Percy with her for a short moment since he sort of told us to give them a moment. When we came back…well, something was exchanged between them. He's been in his room ever since," Thalia said quickly, giving me all that information in one breath. That was how I knew that she was extremely anxious and worried.

"How long ago did this happen?" I asked.

"Four hours ago. Percy hasn't come out since then, and Rachel seems to be in shock."

"What can I do?" I asked. After all, Rachel and I weren't exactly the best of buddies.

"Go comfort Percy," Thalia said without hesitation.

"Why didn't you go and comfort him?"

"You're the closest one to him Annabeth. I don't know what to do or say to him in this kind of thing. You're the one who knows him the best," Thalia sighed as she told me. My eyes widened in surprise.

"Me?" I asked in slight astonishment. Compared to everyone else, I've known him the shortest. How the hell was I the closest to him?

"Beckendorf? Leo? I thought I knew him the least for gods' sake," I sputtered out. Thalia rolled her eyes insufferably.

"Oh please. Anyway, I'm very worried for Percy. Go and talk to him," She told me, seriousness descending upon us once again. I bit my lips slightly and nodded. Nervousness seeped into me as I walked towards Percy's door.

As I walked, I tried to think up of several scenarios of how the whole talk would end. Doubts and insecurities attacked my mind. What if I said the wrong thing? What if instead of making it better, I made it worse?

"Percy?" I asked tentatively as I knocked lightly on the door. I listened hard, pressing my ear against the door to try to hear for anything inside. Nothing.

"Percy?" I tried again but ended up with the same results.

After trying several more times without any result, I finally decided that I should just go in. Percy probably wasn't in the mood to be receptive.

The room was dark. The only source of light was from the lights in the living room as well as the pale, weak moonlight shining through the windows.

"Percy," I whispered as I closed the door behind me quietly. With every single sound I made with my movements, I winced. The click as I shut the door was soft, but to me it was like a loud, booming thunder in a sea of absolute silence.

Percy didn't even respond to my call. It was as though he didn't even know I was there. I walked slowly towards him. He was sitting on the bed, staring at something in his hands that was illuminated by the moonlight.

I fully expected tears to be running freely from his eyes, but that wasn't what I saw. What I saw instead was an emotionless face. There was literally no expression on his face. It looked dead.

Even though his face was emotionless, his eyes told me otherwise. His sea green eyes were dull. Dull as in the spark of his usual liveliness was no longer residing in there. It wasn't lifeless though. I could see the turmoil in his eyes.

My eyes shifted from his face to whatever he was holding. My breath got caught and I stopped breathing altogether. My heart reached out for him.

All my scenarios and everything vanished. The thousand of words I had thought up and prepared disintegrated and blinked out of existence.

No words could help what he was going through. I knew that much.

Without giving my mind a chance to set up a million reasons as to why I should not do what I was going to do, I wrapped an arm around Percy's hunched shoulders and pulled him towards me. He didn't even resist me at all. Surprisingly, he even rested his head on my shoulders.

My eyes widened as he did that. Never before had I thought that he would do that. He always tried his best not to show weakness. He had never tried to seek comfort even though he desperately needed it. Most of the time, he was the one comforting others.

This moment of weakness showed by him told me a lot of things. He was trusting me enough to be vulnerable with me, something he would never do with almost everyone else.

Before, I had doubted the fact that I was actually the closest to Percy. Now though…

However, my train of thoughts left as I focused on the picture he was holding in his hand. It was the same picture he had held a few weeks ago.

It was the picture of him, Rachel and Micheal grinning with child-like exuberance and cheerfulness at the camera.

My trust had been crushed and shattered years ago by that cruel devil spawn years ago. I had thought that no one would ever be able to feel the pain I felt to that extent. It had been so excruciatingly painful.

Yet as I put myself in Percy's shoes, I knew that he was feeling that intensity of pain.

His best friend had broken his trust. His girlfriend had left him because of the deception of his best friend. She had met an accident and went into a coma because of his best friend. Now, she had lost all memories of their times spent together.

The two most treasured and precious relationships in his life had been broken, stomped on, destroyed and burned to ashes. What remained now was nothing but the scattered remains of a distant past, when they were three happy-go-lucky children who enjoyed playing music together as the best of friends.
