Annabeth? Reply, please. Let me explain.

02:46

Please Annabeth, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

03:05

Annabeth, I know you are there. Just let me explain, please.

03:30

I'm begging you, I'm dying here. Please, talk to me.

03:35

Pick up the phone...please.

04:00

Wise girl, I like you. I really do, so let me explain.

06:00

I miss you. I wanna talk to you. I want to see your smile again. Please...

Annabeth.

My phone was filled with missed calls and messages. Voicemail's even. For some reason, i did not feel like turning it off. Knowing that Percy was hurting made me feel better. But only a little. I kept seeing that Scene in my head. It was like it was on replay. Over and over. I wanted to forget it, get the image out of my brain, but I couldn't. It was killing me.

For the past week, I had locked myself in my room, only leaving for dinner or school. Even at school, I did my best to avoid Percy. When, unfortunately, I did see him, it would end up in my pillows wet with tears. I was a mess.

Even after the horrible thing he did to me, there were times I wanted him to explain, to tell me his reasons, but from what I saw, it wasn't forced by the girl like in the romance books I read. He had kissed her back.

"Annabeth, sweetie, how about you go out somewhere. You know, not in this room", Mom quietly said to me, standing in the doorway. A pitiful look evident on her face.

I was too tired to go anywhere, but I chose to. I needed some fresh air.

I snatched the keys from my dressing table, sprinted down the stairs and hopped in the car.

I knew where I wanted to go, even if it would make me feel worse. I started my new car, and drove, to the one place that I needed to go to at the moment.

It took half an hour, and I was there. Standing among the lush green tress and right next to the river, I could see those tall, proud mountains. I couldn't help but smile. Memories came flooding back.

"what about you? Do you like me?"

"Yep"

"I don't even know how I came to, you are a goody".

A tear fell from my eyes. Then, a second. I was on my knees, covering my face, as tears wet my face. My first love, my first true love.

Yes, love. Somewhere in between, I had started to love him.

I couldn't stay there any longer, so I stood up abruptly and wiped my tears using the sleeves of my shirt, and walked back to the car.

It was dark by now. I was halfway home. My vision was still blurry from crying. My eyes wandered to the photo I had pasted on the dashboard, of Percy and I, both smiling, both happy. I kept looking at it, not wanting to take my eyes off.

But then I did.

When I heard a loud horn from somewhere in the darkness and my head snapped up. Two bright lights glared at me. I twisted the steering wheel, but it was too late.

In a matter of seconds, all I could see was darkness, but this time, it wasn't the night.

Percy

I called and called. She just wouldn't reply. I was a mess by now. I had bags under my eyes due to lack of sleep, I spent almost all of my time with my phone in my hand, hoping she would reply.

That day was horrible. That look on Annabeth's face broke me. Why was I such an idiot?

I even tried calling her friends, Piper and Thalia. Neither would answer.

I tried calling her one more time, one more time or I would go to her house.

One call.

I waited and waited, no one was answering. The minute I was about to end the call, a voice came through.

"Annabeth! Y-you answered. Thank goodness. Let me explain, I didn't mea-"

"Excuse me, are you an acquaintance of Miss Chase'?" The voice of an older woman rand through the phone.

I was surprised at first, but regained my control.

"Um, yes. Yes, I am.. Where is she? I would like to talk to her."

"I'm sorry to inform you. But, Miss Chase was in an accident."

My heart dropped. My eyes flew wide open. Everything the woman said next was just white noise to me.

"W-What?"
