Okay so this is a small quote to start this chap

"What is love? In math it's a problem. In history it's a battle. In science it's a reaction but in my heart it's you

CHAPTER 2: Annabeth

I couldn't believe what I saw.

I couldn't stand to watch Percy being transformed into a god. Those words sound alien together; Percy, a god? I would have laughed if someone told this to me a few months ago but again, people change. I just lost Luke today and how can I stand to lose Percy?

I hate change, I thought, while racing down the majestic hallways. I turned around corners, left and right, not bothering where they would lead me. I wanted to stay away from him. Gods, why does everything have to be so complicated?

I loved Percy. Period. Even if he can be a jackass sometimes, I loved him with my whole heart. I turned a corner and came to a dead end. I sat down, my back against the wall and my head in my hands. Thinking why love is so complicated, I started sobbing. How can I love him when he's a god? Gods are all jerks, and I wouldn't dream of dating one. I thought of all the good times I shared with Percy. Most of them were fighting by his side, knowing that we might die any minute and he looked very charming even if he looked like death. Then there was the kiss. I could still feel his soft but slightly chapped lips against mine but that was history. I swore I would never love Percy if he's a god.

"Daughter" a female voice said

Oh crap.

I looked up and saw Athena, standing in all her godly glory, frowning at me.

"Mother?" I asked, clearly surprised. My mom was the last person I thought would come after me.

"Rise my daughter. Do not lament and waste your time over boys. Especially not that fool" says Athena, who fell for a million other mortal men and is still called a "maiden goddess". Ugh, the nerve.

"How many boys have you fell for, mother?" I challenged. Disapproval flashed on her perfect features.

"There is going to be a party in your and Percy's honour. You are expected."

"Annabeth?" someone called.

Dang it.

Percy came round the corner and looked flabbergasted.

"Annabeth are you-" he began.

"I will leave you alone" Athena said, dismissing herself. I got up, wiping my tears and straightening my clothes.

"Perseus" I acknowledged him.

"Percy. I'm still Percy" he said but I didn't care. He was a god. A damn god.

I began to walk towards the direction I came and he followed me.

"What do you want Percy?" I growled.

"I want to talk to you about-"

"Too bad I don't want to listen" I said curtly. He began protesting and I knew he wouldn't stop until he talked to me.

I turned around swiftly, coming face to face with him. I'll admit it was a little hard not to gawk. His sea green eyes poured into mine and the soothing scent of the ocean filled my nostrils. But that doesn't change anything.

"Annabeth, I... I wanted to let you know that I'm still the same inside. Still the Percy who fought by your side. Still the one who you call Seaweed Brain. Still...yours"

It was all I could do not to cry. This has moved me because I never imagined he could say these simple, perfect words

"You were never mine, Percy" I remind him, but I knew that wasn't true. God damn it.

"You know that's not true. I just wanted to let you know that I-"

The air next to us shimmered and the worst person on Olympus appeared next to us, clasping her hands together, sighing at out drama.

Aphrodite.

"That is so romantic, Percy! But I really think you should practice your lines next time and a beautiful flower wouldn't hurt-"

"Great timing as always" Percy remarked sarcastically.

"Time has no meaning when you're in love, Percy. How I wish one of my daughters could date a god like you!" she exclaimed with enthusiasm. Percy looked like he might kick her butt but he just said, "What do you want, Aphrodite?"

"Oh, this and that" she said mischievously. Percy looks disgusted and began to walk away, leaving me with the goddess of love.

"Annabeth!" she exclaimed. "You are really lucky, you know that right? He loves you with all his soul and not to mention that he is a charming young lad" Aphrodite said, winking at me.

"I don't want his "godly" love" I said disgusted.

She just sighed and said, "The party's just starting. You should make an appearance and I think we should change your looks a bit"

I don't know what sort of magic she cast on me, but I felt as if something heavy has been lifted from me. I immediately relaxed and took a few deep breaths to settle my racing heart.

"Oh, and Annabeth? Even if he can't love you the way you want him to, doesn't mean that he doesn't love you the way he can." With that, she disappeared in a flash of light, leaving me alone in the deserted hallway.

[OMG I just died. Thanks for adding this to your favs and alert and thanks to MasterOfIcyUnicorns for the first review 3. Thanks for the support because you guys rock and sorry if this chap is not as long as you expected. I intended on writing the party also in this chap but it would have been way long (although most of you wont :) ) I'm thinking of alternating Annabeth's and Percy's POV so I hope that's fine. So until the next chap, stay home, stay safe.]
