OMG! The response I got last chapter, blew my mind! OVER THREE THOUSAND VIEWS! Begin Again got over SIX THOUSAND! It was incredible. This chapter is going to have some really good Percabeth moments, if you know what I mean ;) I will try to make both BFC and Begin Again chapters longer but for now enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson series Rick Riordan does.

Annabeth's POV

I quickly got up, franticly wiping the tears off my face. Crap, he saw me!

Percy stood in front of the open bathroom door with wide eyes. I avoided his sea green eyes, pushing my head down, making my blonde hair fall like a curtain over my face. I wiped off the invisible dust on my grey sweatpants.

"Have you ever heard of knocking!" I snapped. My voice sounded a little hoarse, but I hoped he wouldn't notice. I felt him walk closer to me and I backed into my corner.

"Did you not hear me? Get out!"

"No!" He refused.

I looked up glaring at him when I realized he was way closer than I originally thought. His eyes held determination and…concern? No. He doesn't care, why would he? He probably just wants to use this against me or spread it across the school so he could become popular. I scoffed.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly taking another step towards me. The sudden electricity in the room was putting me on edge and it made every hair on my body stand up.

"Nothing!" I yelled backing away from him.

"Just leave!"

"I'm not leaving-"

"Why? I'm not in the mood for your stupid remarks Percy! So just leave me alone!" He was getting closer and closer. So close that my back pressed against the white wall forcing me to look him in the eyes.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me." He said.

"Tell you what?" Percy gave me a look and I could tell he wasn't buying it. I tried pushing him away, but he was much stronger. He put his hands on both sides of me caging me in. I shoved his chest even harder.

"Just leave me alone, okay. I just want to be alone." I could feel my exterior breaking down and I didn't want to see what was underneath it all. More tears started to build up and I furiously blinked them away before he could see them.

"Why are you even here?" I swallowed. Percy stared at me before responding

"I came to wash my hands, but then I heard you crying-"

"I wasn't crying!" I lied. I stood up taller.

"You must've misheard, so just go back to where ever the hell you came from! There is no damsel in distress for you to save, Mr. Superman! So I'm only gonna say it one more time. Leave." How dare he even talk to me after what he said! And I'm still not over the whole 'knocking me unconscious' thing! Percy looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Look just because we started off on the wrong foot doesn't mean we have to end that way! I want to help you, why is that so hard to believe?" I didn't say anything hoping he'd go away. He was still caging me in so I couldn't run out the door. Percy continued to stare at me expectantly, but I didn't say a word. He sighed and I thought he finally gave up before he chuckled.

"I don't think I've ever met anyone so stubborn before!" I glared at him and he grabbed my shoulders. Sparks flew from where he touched and I quickly react.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled trying to twist out of his grip. He sat on the cold tiled floor, bringing me with him. I yelped when I landed practically on top of him. Percy looked shocked at our position, but that shock quickly turned to amusement. He wiggled his eyebrows at me and I bit back a smile.

"Get off!" I found myself laughing slightly, but I quickly put back on my angry façade.

"Let go of me you perv!"

"You know," he laughed pulling e closer into him.

"My dad used to do almost the same exact thing when I wouldn't tell him something, except he'd sit on me." I stared at him for a second, lost for words.

"W-What is wrong with you?!" He pretended to think about it, scratching his chin.

"A lot of things I think! But the doctors say I'm fine so whatev-"

"Uh, you're so annoying! Can't you see that I just want to be alone! That I don't want to tell you or anybody for the matter!" I shouted. The tears started to build up again so rapidly that I didn't have time to hide them. One fell and I tried to wipe it away, but Percy only held my arms tighter.

"Let go!" I cried. I hated this. I hated being weak in front of him, in front of anybody! I watched in embarrassment as another tear hit his white shirt. I tried to stop the tears from falling, but it seemed like the dam just broke and the tears were flooding in.

"It's okay." Percy soothed rubbing my arms, but still careful not to let me go. Smart…

I sobbed unattractive wails until it felt as if I was teared out. I don't know how long we were there, but when I was finally done crying my leg had a cramp and looking out the window it was dark. Both of us stared at the other not knowing what to say. Even in my distraught state I could still make out how incredibly handsome he was. His midnight hair was sticking up in all sorts of directions and I felt the urge to just run my hand through it to mess it up even more. His sea green eyes popped in the dark room making them easy to get lost in. I was caught in their trap when I saw his lips move.

"What?" I asked staring to calm down. Percy looked surprised that I actually spoke. I was too, but didn't spend too much time thinking about it. It'd only give me a headache.

"I asked if you felt better?" I shook my head and Percy chuckled. His eyes darted all over my face searching for something. He asks the dreaded question

"Why were you crying?"

"M-My parents a-are…"

"Getting a divorce." Percy finished his eyes filled with pity. I nod my head as the tears start to gather. The thought made me burst out into another round of tears, I didn't know I had left. I tried to calm down, but seemed unable to. I felt like I was losing control and I couldn't stand to see the pity in his eyes. I didn't need his pity or anybody else's. I start to pull myself together again as Percy says

"I'm sorry Annabeth…I don't know what to say." At this point I stopped resisting, allowing him to trap my arms. I was too exhausted.

"What else are you crying about? It can't be just that." He asked skeptically. I let out a bitter laugh.

"I'm sure you'll just love the second reason!" Percy frowned at my cold tone.

"And why would I 'love' anything that's hurting you?" His eyes shone with hurt and I almost apologized, before I caught myself. He's a really good actor!

"Because you got your wish! Thalia and I aren't friends anymore! Isn't that what you wanted?"

"What! Why?" I glared at the floor.

"Cause I'm a self-centered, female dog, who doesn't deserve Thalia as a best friend, remember?"

"You're not making any sens-"

"We're not friends cause I didn't tell her about Luke, okay!" Percy stared at me confused.

"But I thought you guys were past that?"

"Well she's not…I'm not." Percy stared at me as realization dawned on him.

"Annabeth you gotta let that go-"

"Oh don't even bother sugar coating it I know it's my fault! You said so yourself in case you've forgot." We sat in silence for a while, tension thick in the air. His guilty green eyes stared into my angry grey ones.

"I didn't mean it when I said it was your fault-"

"You obviously did if you said it." Another silence fell upon us as Percy's face looked even more guilt stricken.

"And the worst part is," I spoke.

"Is that you were right." I didn't look at Percy as I continued.

"Thalia doesn't deserve a backstabber like me-"

"Don't say that! Don't ever say that!" Percy snapped. My eyes widened at the outburst. His face turned red and he subconsciously tightened his grip.

"It's true-"

"No it's not!" He argued.

"How is it not my fault when-"

"Tell me Annabeth," he interrupted me.

"Who came over to who's house first, you or Luke?" I stared at him for a second.

"Luke."

"Luke what?" I rolled my eyes.

"Luke came over to my house."

"Who was in a relationship at the time?"

"Luke." I said narrowing my eyes at him. Where was he going with this?

"And who was he in a relationship with?" I winced.

"Thalia."

"Okay, now who made the first move?" He questioned green eyes filled with determination.

"Luke." I answered my gaze falling to the ground as I recalled the memory.

"Annabeth." He called softly. I looked over at him immediately getting captured by his hypnotic sea green eyes. Time seemed to slow down.

"Look at me." The electricity in the room was greater than ever before and it seemed to only increase when I whispered

"I already am." The room seemed to still and something flashed in Percy's eyes before he spoke

"Did you ever have feelings for Luke or make any moves on him?" I continued to stare in his eyes as I truthfully answered

"No." Percy smiled a small smile.

"Well there you go."

"Yeah…" I breathed still trapped under his hypnotic spell. Percy laughed at my expression snapping me out of my gaze.

"You must be really tired!" He chuckled. Embarrassed I tried to break free, but he still kept his hold.

"Feel better?" he asked again. I thought for a moment before nodding my head. Percy's face broke out into a handsome smile.

"Good! Looks like Superman did save the day after all!" he laughed. I rolled my eyes still embarrassed.

"Well…" I drawled out.

"I would feel much better if you let go of my arms." Percy smirked shaking his head with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Naw! I think I want to stay here just a little longer!" I groaned and started struggling to break free. Percy laughed the whole time and I fake glared at him. How the hell was he this strong?

I gave up with a tired sigh, resting my head down on his hard chest. Sparks flew as I secretly took in his scent. He smelt of chocolate chip cookies and sea salt. The weird combination oddly worked and I would buy a whole bottle of it if I could.

"Are you ever gonna let me go?" I whined my blonde hair splayed across his chest. I felt the deep rumble of his chest and a melodic sound soon followed.

"Never!" he laughed and there was something in his tone that made my stomach erupt in butterflies. Maybe it was something I ate…

We stayed in this position for a while before I broke the silence.

"Thanks." Percy picked his head up to look down at me.

"For what?" He asked. I smiled at his obliviousness. It was kinda…cute.

"For helping and…being there for me." Percy had a small smile on his face.

"Why wouldn't I? I was taught to always help people…even if they don't realize they need it." I put my chin up on his chest until we were both eye to eye.

"I barely know you." I admitted.

"And I barely know you." He responded. Our faces seemed to subconsciously inch closer until we were only centimeters away.

"We can change that." He whispered his eyes closing slightly. I felt mine start to drift close as I leaned in closer. I couldn't stop myself and soon our lips were millimeters apart, when a drop of water fell onto Percy's face out of nowhere. The spell broke and he flinched knocking our heads together. He momentarily let go of my hands as I hissed in pain. My hands flew up touching the bruised area. Percy's hands that have somehow found my hips pushed them off of him and I yelped as I landed on the cold white tiles next to him. I don't think I'd ever been so embarrassed in my life!

"Shit! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-"

"I-It's o-okay!" I stuttered ignoring his outstretched hand. I stood up on wobbly legs backwards, away from Percy.

"How's your head?" Percy asked his face pink. He walked towards me to inspect it, but I quickly backed away.

"I-It's fine!" I squeaked. I felt that hot feeling erupt in my cheeks again. Percy looked up at the ceiling rubbing the back of his neck.

"Leaky ceiling!" He shot an apologetic smile at me while pointing to the roof. Sure enough there was a big wet spot where water droplets spilled out onto the floor. I laughed nervously rubbing my arm.

"Y-Yeah, I-I gotta g-go! Thanks f-for the help! N-Night!" I darted out of the room before he had the chance to say anything else. I ran back into Thalia's room to find it thankfully empty. I shut the door and slid my back against it. My breathing was heavy and my nerves were all over the place.

That did not just happen! No way! I was not about to kiss Per- Don't even think about it Chase! It's all because of stress! The butterflies, the tingles, the almost kiss are all factors of stress…It's not like he would ever kiss me anyway! We're complete opposites and-and I hate him! Well, maybe hate's a strong word, but I don't like him! Well after tonight it's not that ether…I don't know him? Yeah, that's it! I barely know the guy, I met him two days ago! There's no way I could have a friendship, let alone a crush on him after meeting him only two days ago! ;)

The door swung open causing me to once again fall on my stomach. I gulped thinking it was Percy, but was super relieved to see Thalia.

"Annabeth?" Thalia said shocked. I noticed her own eyes were a little red and puffy. She set the tub of ice cream down on her dresser before coming towards me.

"I thought you left-"

"Look I'm really sorry about…everything, but can we not talk about it tonight? Well talk about it in the morning, but for now pillow fight!" I shouted grabbing a pillow and hitting the daylights out of her. She didn't have time to react as I mercilessly pounded her with the fluffy pillow. I got about five ten good hits in before she finally caught on. Thalia grabbed a pillow and wacked me in the face. I fell down on the bed playfully glaring at her smirking face.

"Oh, it's on!" We chased and slapped each other with pillows for an entire...five minutes. Pillow fights are like snow. Fun for the first five minutes, but then the pain kicks in and you want to stop. We were currently sitting on her bed eating the tub of ice cream. We ate in silence as we watched a movie.

"I'm gonna get changed into some pajamas, be right back." I said getting up from the bed. Thalia only nodded her head too engrossed in the movie. Looking back at her I wished it could stay like this, but I knew in the morning it was back to reality. Sighing I went into her drawer grabbing the spare set of pajamas I kept here and quickly changed.

Twenty minutes later Thalia was knocked out, while I lay awake unable to fall asleep on the spare bed. The bathroom scene kept playing over and over again in my mind. The way he talked to me, how he helped me, the way he held me…

The last thing thought I had before falling asleep was

Maybe Percy's not a bad guy after all…
