Chapter 1: Unwanted discoveries
She looked at his watch. The one that she had taken from him so many months ago. He gave it to her as a gift. The night he told her, that he loved her. Ugh He's been asleep this whole time, better get him.
Annabeth made her way down the hallway. Checking her watch every 30 seconds or so. She couldn't stop looking at it. She wish that she could tell someone, but Leo made her promise that they would bring this out after the election was over. Annabeth turned the corner toward his room. Not knowing that this would change her life forever.
"I.D. please?" The secret service guard joked. Annabeth hated when they did this. They loved to tease her.
"Oh come on." She flashed her I.D. just to shut them up. She turned the knob and opened the large wood door.
"Leo." Where was he? "Leo?" Annabeth turned into the bathroom where she saw Leo lying motionless on the ground. Oh my God. "Leo! "Annabeth screamed for help and then she flung herself around Leo. He wasn't breathing.
"Please don't leave me Leo. Please!" She pleaded with his motionless body. At that moment a slew of secret service guards rushed into the rooms. One pulled at Annabeth to get her off him.
" We can't help him if you don't let go." With that Annabeth pulled back. She watched as they used CPR to try and revive him. Annabeth sat there motionless with burning tears rolling down her flawless cheeks. The same cheeks that Leo had kissed only a few hours earlier. She wished that she had treasured those days that they had. The S.S. had lifted Leo onto a stretcher, that the EMT's had brought. Annabeth hadn't noticed them.
"Madam we would ask if you could ride in the ambulance with your husband."
"Oh he's not" Oh forget it. They'd find out soon enough. Right now she just had to be with Leo. The one she really did love. She followed them down the long hallway to get out of the hotel, and to get Leo help. Annabeth passed Donna, and all she saw was the look of shock on her face. Annabeth was still clutching Leo's hand. She never wanted to let go.
