Well, after all happily ever-after doesn't exist.

8. Chapter 8

Annabeth POV:

For the next week Lydia would not stop asking if Percy could come back over. I keep telling her I will try to get him to watch her again when I need someone to watch her for me.

Ever since he was here I have felt so happy but then I freak out because I don't want Eric to find out. I know Lydia will probably tell him when he gets home and I also know that he hates Percy's guts. It seems that every night I find myself crying about Percy. I know I shouldn't be doing this but I can't help it. I mean, I am a married woman.

Percy POV:

"Mr. Jackson?" one of my students asks as they come up to my desk.

"Yes, Madison?" I ask curiously. "Why aren't you wearing your wedding ring anymore?" she asks. When she asks me this I am now aware that my students pay more attention then I think. "Madison, sometimes relationships don't work out and sadly in my case Ashley and I aren't together anymore." I tell her. "Don't worry, Mr. Jackson, you will find that perfect someone someday." she tells me. I smile and wave her off.

After school lets out I walk out of the building and out to my car. I see my least favorite person, Eric. I casually walk up to him and try to keep calm. "Why are you here?" I ask him with a sneer. " I told you to stay away from my family, Jackson." he says back to me. "Hey listen here, Tough guy. Annabeth asked me to watch Lydia because she was called down to the office to deal with some stuff. I seriously don't think you want to deal with this in a school parking lot. Now, I suggest that you leave, or we can take this somewhere else? Because I don't mind doing this somewhere else." I say giving him the message. He looks at me then walks away trying to look tough.

On my way home I call Annabeth. I have to tell her about what Eric has been doing, I can't keep it in any longer. When she picks up I spill the beans. "Hey, Annabeth. So I understand Eric came home early?" "Uh, yes, how did you know?" she asks "Well thats why I called you, are you two doing okay at home?" I ask her. "Uh, yeah, we're doing fine. Percy, what do you want?" "Annabeth, you know the day you found me on the ground outside your office? I lied to you, I didn't slip on ice, Eric came and waited 'till I got there and came and attacked me and told me to stay away from you. I never told you because I knew you wouldn't believe me. Well today he came to the parking lot at Goode and came to threaten me to stay away from you and Lydia because of the other night. Listen, Annabeth, please I don't expect you to believe me but I had to tell you." "Percy I-ugh-" she tries to say before she hangs up on me.

When I get home I realize I just ruined my only chance to become her friend again. I now realize that it is going to go back to the way it was before. With her ignoring me and I, missing her while I am alone. The rest of the night I do nothing but grade my student's papers and sulk. I don't eat, I don't watch T.V., just sit there. My life screwed up and thats all there is to it.

I hope you guys like it! I am having so much fun writing it! I apologize for all the feels I have put in this story so far but what is a Percabeth story without feels? Lol. Keep reading! Ps. I try to post at least one chapter a day sometimes more.
