I stared at the picture of us, together. The last time we have been together. I should never have let him go. I should not have been so focused on helping my daughter rebuild Olympus I forgot about him. Percy, he used to be my boyfriend. I know, you might think, that is the weirdest couple ever. I take offense to that. We are not weird.

Percy and Annabeth broke up because they felt like they aren't for each other. Sometimes when Percy comes up to Olympus, I see him. We began talking. The more I talk to him, the more I fall for him.

Today is another day. He is up here, on Olympus, visiting. "Hi Athena," He said softly.

I'm so glad you made time to see me

How's life, tell me how's your family?

I haven't seen them in a while

"Hi," I said, looking up from the picture. There was this awkward silence. "How is your family?"

"Oh," Percy said looking down. He sat next to me, but not as close as I used to be before. He looks sadder, not as fun as he was before we kind of break up.

"Come on Percy," I laughed as I tried to help him with his homework. "If you want to pass your college exams and graduate, you better start studying.

"Like mother, like daughter," He mumbled under his breath. I sniffle a giggle as I lead him to the living room in his small apartment.

"Come on," I called from inside the apartment. He is still stalling outside.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," He said as he came in. He threw his backpack on the sofa and I glared at him. He holds up his hands in surrender and gets out his homework.

I help him with his homework for the rest of the night. It was a happy time, one that I wish I could get back.

You've been good, busier then ever

We small talk, work, and the weather

Your guard is up and I know why

"My family is doing good," He said. He quickly makes an excuse. "My mom is waiting for me, I need to go."

Cause the last time, you saw me still burn in the back of your mind

You give me roses and I left them there to die.

I nodded and he rushed out of the garden, where we are staying. I stared at the picture in my hand again. I sighed and tuck it in my jacket before going back to my palace.

This is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,

And I'll go back to December

Turns out freedom means nothing but missing you wishing I realize what I have when you were mine

And I'll go back to December all the time.

These days, I haven't been sleeping

Stay up late playing back myself leaving

I tossed and turned tonight, unable to sleep. I don't know what to do. I want to have Percy back, I want to be the one he holds in his arms. I want to be the one he cares about.

"What's today's date?" I asked my sister Artemis the next day.

"August 9," Artemis said without even thinking. She turned toward me. "Why?"

When your birthday comes and I didn't call

I cursed under my breath. I missed his birthday. I was going to send him a birthday card, or at least call him. I sighed.

"Something wrong?" Artemis asked me. I shook my mind.

"I just forgot to do something," I told her before walking away. As I walked toward my palace, I remembered one of Percy's birthday.

Then I think about summer all those beautiful time

I watch you laughing from the passengers' side

"Happy Birthday!" I shouted as Percy walked in the door. He had a party with his friend. Seeing no one knows we were dating and I am a maiden goddess. We weren't dating, but we were pretty close friends. No one knows I am his friend though, they thought that I hate him.

"Thanks!" Percy said as I gave him my gift. "Want to go on a drive, is not that dark yet."

"Sure," I said. I got on the passenger side and Percy went behind the wheel.

We went to the beach and we sat in the car, watching the sunset from afar. I saw two dolphins and Percy made a joke about it. "Imagine the dolphin as the two of us!"

"I don't look like a dolphin," I complain to him. "You, on the other hand, could be a dolphin."

We both laughed and soon it was fall already. Percy said he would take me to a picnic. I put on my best dress and then he rings the bell.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"You'll see," He said as he continued driving. Soon we were at the beach. I saw a picnic set up already. He turned toward me. "Do you like it?"

"Yes," I said. "I love it!"

At that moment, I also realized I am in love with him. He is someone I have never set my eyes on before.

Realize I love you in the fall

I was brought out of my thoughts when I bumped into my palace door. I shook my head and opened the door.

And then the cold came

The dark days when fear crept into my mind

These days, I couldn't keep my thoughts off of Percy. No matter what I'm doing, no matter what I think about, My thoughts always go back to him. I remember when winter came, it was so cold, but he was always there.

You give me all your love

And all I gave you were Goodbyes

Wether is giving me a blanket, a hug, hot cocoa, I have always loved him. I didn't give him anything though. I give him a goodbye. I remember the day like it was yesterday. From that day on, he will always be my biggest what if.

This is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

And I'll go back to December

Turns out freedom means nothing by missing you wishing I realize what I have when you were mine

And I'll go back to December turn around and change my own mind,

And I'll go back to December all the time

"I love you, Athena," Percy shouted. "But you never make time for me."

"Later," I said. "I am a little busy right now."

"Later?" He asked, his voice getting louder and louder by the second. "LATER? I was always here for you, I have always been here for you. Where were you when I need you? When would you stop saying later?"

"I have work right now," I told him calmly, though my anger is rising.

"So?" He asked.

"SO!" I finally scream at him. "MY WORK IS IMPORTANT. I AM HELPING MY DAUGHTER LOOK THROUGH HER WORK FOR REBUILDING OLYMPUS! THAT IS IMPORTANT!"

Percy started shouting as well. "IF YOU LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH THEN BE IT!"

"Get out of here," I said out of my anger. I point to the door. I thought he would stay, I thought he would try to tell me no. He didn't, he just left. I broke down crying after that.

I miss your tan skin your sweet smile

so good to me, so right

I missed him. I miss everything about him. I closed the book in my lap. I could not focus on anything right now. I remember another memory of us together.

And as you hold me in the arm that September night,

First time you ever saw me cry

He has seen me cry for the first time. He immediately came and comfort me. It is not every day you saw a wisdom goddess cry. He comforts me, helps me went through my fear.

Maybe this is wishful thinking,

Probably mindless dreaming.

But if we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I made up my mind, I thought as I get up from the sofa. I flashed in front of Percy's apartment.

I was about to knock when my hand stops before reaching it.

Should I knock or should I not?

Would he forgive me or would he not?

I'll go back in time to change it but I can't

So if the chain is on your door I understand

I finally gain the courage to knock. He opens the door a second later. When he saw me, his whole body froze. "What is this?"

"This," I started. "Is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night."

"Oh," He said. He opens the door a little wider. "Come in I guess."

And I'll go back to December

I walked into his house. I sat down on the sofa and he sat next to me. He turned toward me. "Did you mean what you say?"

I nodded my head. "I mean it. I am so sorry." I look down at my hands. "Could you ever forgive me?"

Turns out freedom means nothing but missing you wishing I realize what I have when you are mine

And I'll go back to December turn around and make it all right

"If you promise me one thing," Percy said. I looked up, my hopeful eyes meeting his sea-green ones. The one I have been lost in all those years ago.

"What?" I asked him. I would be willing to promise anything.

I'll go back to December turn around and change my own mind.

"You would never forget me again."

"I swear on the River Styx I would never forget you again," I swore. Thunder bloom overhead and Percy looked at me in shook. He then grins, the biggest I have ever seen him grin.

I'll go back to December all the time

He leaned forward and kiss me. I melt into his arm. "I love you."

"I love you too," I said when we broke apart.

AN: I want you guys to vote whether or not I should try to turn one of my one-shot into a short story?
