A/N: Emily is moving so here is me projecting 3.
Grover knew it was going to happen. That Percy and Annabeth will go across the country to New Rome. But when they told him that was 2 years ago and it felt so far away and he had held on hope that maybe, just maybe, they won't go. Again that was 2 years ago, and now here in 2 weeks, they will be off.
Don't get Grover wrong, he is really happy for them that they get to live the life of their dreams. It is not like he would never see them again. With his responsibility, he will have to visit New Rome. But it is going to be different. Camp-Halfblood is his home and it was theirs. Something that they both can hang onto. A place they both call home, with each other. And now they will leave this place, both of their homes.
This place is where Grover is home. Where his girlfriend lives and calls home. Where Annabeth and Percy have called home for about 6 years. Now that is changing. It feels as though his home is now broken. It will no longer be the same.
Ever since they left on the quest for the giants that they have grown apart. And now if feels like the icing on the cake. Will they make it through this? Will they still be able to be friends? Or will this be the end of that friendship?
He feels like he has been left out for a year now so it wouldn't be surprising that they will stay in contact and then it will become less frequent and then suddenly there is no more talking. No more weird conversations late at night. No more talking about what to do now in life talks. It will all be gone.
But Grover dosen't say anything. He wants his friends to be happy and not worry about him. So when they leave Grover feels like that will be their very last goodbye. At least it was a goodbye and not something worse. Though Grover now wants just one more goodbye.
