Chapter 1

Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this story. It was inspired by a story I read called "Memories" by Another Wise Girl xx, so thank you so much for this idea. :)

Annabeth POV:

Hi before I tell you about all my embarrassing secrets and issues I have to explain who I am first.

My name is Annabeth Chase I was born in San Francisco, California. My dad loves his job more than me and my mom is out of the picture.

My dad was a history geek named Frederik Chase and my mom was a genius and aspiring architect named Athena Olimpia.

They Came from two completely different backgrounds, my dad a normal everyday joe, my mom the daughter of a family of billionaires

My parents didn't always hate each other, they met in New York, my mom was interning at an architecture firm and my dad was just finishing up college at Harvard.

They fell in love and had me five months later, they were happily married for a while.

But like all good stories it had to come to an end.

When I was nine my dad got a job offer in San Francisco, it was what he had been waiting for his whole career.

But my mom already had a perfect job in New York, she had her own firm and it was growing every day.

So she gave him an ultimatum, her or the job.

He took the job.

After years of fighting and me going back and forth between San Francisco every year the court deemed my mom unworthy of taking care of a child.

My dad got full custody of me and I packed my bags, got on a plane and cried every night for the next three months.

Eventually I gave up on the hope that I could go back to my mom and my friends in New York.

A year later my dad got married again, her name was Helen and we had a mutual agreement that though we weren't fond of each other we could tolerate it as long as my dad was happy.

A couple of months later Helen got pregnant, and nine months later I got very annoying slightly cute baby brothers.

She named them Bobby and Mathew.

For a few years they were my worst nightmare.

I always complained about them to dad who favored me, and Helen always complained about me to him.

You can guess who won.

I always tried to get them in trouble so that my dad could see that they weren't perfect and Helen always got mad at me and told me that's not how I should treat my brothers.

I said they weren't my brothers.

I got grounded for a month.

Eventually we made a truce and all was well in the world. I was sixteen then, and so naive.

When I was seventeen my dad announced that we were moving back to New York, that was yesterday.

Current Day:

"Do you have your clothes for the first couple of weeks"

"Yes"

"Tooth brush"

"Yes"

"Deodorant"

"Yes"

"Extra underwear"

" Gods dad yes we've been over this a hundred times I have everything now can I go" I whined

He smiled crinkles appearing by his eyes

"Sorry just worried about my little girl"

I rolled my eyes, "I'm not little any more"

"I know I know, just let me have my moments huh"

"Ding Dong"

"That'll be Evey"

"Just be quick okay, the flights in four hours and you know how long it takes to go through security"

"Anie your friends here with your boyfriend"

"I told you not to call me that Mathew"

"And he's not my boyfriend!"

I quickly ran down the stairs to see my friends. Evey was there dressed in a light blue V-neck and dark blue jeans, she had frizzy brown hair and freckles painted across her nose.

"E!" I shouted towards my best friend

"Heey"

Standing beside her was Luke, I tried to stop a blush that was rising towards my cheeks as I stared at him.

"Hey Grey Eyes"

He was wearing a white collared shirt with the top two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he had khaki shorts and flip flops on.

His blonde hair was neatly combed and his blue eyes sparkled, he was smiling and his scar that went from his right eye to right above his cheek stretched.

"So you gonna say goodbye or keep checking me out"

If possible I blushed even harder

"Sorry"

"Uh hello I'm still here so could you to hold off on the sad attempts at flirting, it's embarrassing"

I stretched out my arms towards her, and we hugged

"This sucks"

"I know, but you'll visit me right"

"Of course, I have wanted to go to New York since like forever"

"Wow and I thought you might have wanted to come cause you'd miss me"

She just rolled her eyes at me

"Ahem"

"Oh sorry Luke are you feeling left out" Evey pouted

"I'm sure Annie will give you a goodbye kiss don't worry"

I glared at her, then gave her an exasperated look

"What have I told you about calling me that"

"Oh whatever"

"So about that goodbye kiss" Luke said cheekily

I blushed again. What is wrong with me

Luke just chuckled and kissed me on the cheek

"Don't worry me and E will both come visit you"

"Thanks"

"You kidding, I've always wanted to see the knicks play in person"

"Annabeth we need to be leaving"

"Be there in a sec"

"I'm gonna miss you guys"

"It's not like we're dying you can still call us"

"Annabeth"

"Coming"

"I'll call you as soon as I land"

"You better, or I'm flying out there just to whoop your ass"

"Bye"

I gave them one last hug then left to join my family in the car. A silent tear fell down my cheek as We pulled out of the driveway. I saw Luke and Evey waving goodbye then as soon as I had seen them they were gone as we drove away.

I put on my headphones and clicked on my playlist. The song "Love" by American Authors started playing and more tears slid down my cheeks. New York better be worth it, I thought.

Maybe I'll see him there, yeah fat chance.
