This is kinda like the last chapter of part one of the story.
One the bright side, my chapters have been getting longer.
Please keep reviewing…or start reviewing.
Thanks.

Bekah's P.O.V.
I grabbed the Dr. Pepper from my bag and darted out of the window of the cabin. This was my alone time with Percy and I wasn't about to lose time from it.
Something in the back of my head told me that I was moving too fast. That I shouldn't even like Percy, nonetheless, love him. Something was telling me that what I was feeling was wrong. But I'd bet my life that we were meant to be.
I got down to the beach before he did, but that didn't bug me. I would keep myself temporarily busy. I set down a blanket, laid down on top of it, and opened a Dr. Pepper. I didn't start drinking it; I just held it in my hand as I stared at the stars.
"Your aunt did a great job on the constellations." Percy's voice startled me and caused my to spill my drink. "Sorry, sorry." He muttered urgently.
"It's fine. It will dry."
"Are you sure?" His eyes were urgent, staring into mine.
"Positive." I laughed. "Want a Dr. Pepper?"
He held out the case of Cokes. "Sure. Want a Coke?"
We both laughed and laid down on the blanket. After a moment Percy turned over so he was facing me, his head rested on his arm. "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
I choked on my Coke. Course I did! "Why?"
Percy smiled and took my hand in his and then dropped it immediately. How could he send an electric current through my body and then let me go?!? "Just wondering."
Percy's P.O.V.
The minute I took her hand in mine, I felt complete. Maybe she didn't feel the same. She did choke when I asked her if she believed in love at first sight. I dropped her hand back onto the blanket. "Just wondering."
"Oh." Her eyes never left the sky. "Of course I do. Aphrodite is the goddess of love, she can make anything possible, and that includes love at first sight."
Should I tell her I love her? Could I? No. Not yet. I have got to wait.
"Ever experienced it?" My own words surprised me. I continued smiling at her, trying to be reassuring.
"No. I don't really like guys." She sighed at her words, as if she was lying or not really lying, but on the verge of it.
This aroused my curiosity. "Why is that?"
"None of them ever see me for me. They just see my looks, they never take time to find me or love me or anything like that. They never care the right way. I wish I was worthless, I was I wasn't pretty. Just so I could meet the one." Tears fell from her eyes as she spoke. She really did want someone, she needed someone, but she couldn't find him because of something that wasn't even her fault.
I pulled her into my arms, letting (I aloud myself to get wet for her) her tears stain my shirt. "You'll find him, I promise. I swear, you will find someone that will love you for more then your beauty."
"How – how do you know?" Her tears strained her words.
"Trust me on this one." I knew because I was the one. I was the one that loved her for more then her beauty. If only she would notice it. I knew then that I would have to tell her sooner or later. I'd have to tell her I love her.
Bekah looked into my eyes intently. "How could I not? You're so perfect, Percy, so caring and sweet. I don't deserve you as a friend." Her eyes moved to my wet shirt.
"I'm not all that, and you don't deserve me, because I'm not worth it. I'm not worth your time, or you using your sarcastic remarks on me. I've told you before that you're the wonderful one, Bekah."
She buried her face in my chest. "You're lying."
I smiled softly, "Didn't you just tell me that you would trust me."
Bekah giggled, "Okay, okay. I trust you. I trust you that I'm the wonderful one even if I don't believe it, I will trust your words."
"Good." I chuckled. "You really should."
She put her hands on my chest and pushed herself up. "Meanie."
"Uh, no. You did not just call me that." I smiled playfully and stood up, pulling her up with me. Cradling her against my chest, I started running towards the water.
Her eyes widened with either fear or excitement. I wasn't sure which. "Put me down, Percy!" Bekah shrieked, but I noticed that she wouldn't stop smiling.
"Um, no." And then I dove into the water, putting an air bubble around us once we were under the water.
"Pretty cool, Percy." Bekah praised me.
I noticed then that I was still carrying her. I didn't know if I should put her down her not. So I decided not to. "Thanks."
She nodded and snuggled into my chest. "Can I thank you for caring, Percy?"
I smiled, "Go for it, Bekah."
Bekah giggled again. I hadn't heard her laugh so much since she arrived here. She was much more open now. As if someone had unlocked who she really was. "Thank you, Percy Jackson, for caring about me. For being my only friend that isn't related."
I laughed with her. "It's not a problem." I put a finger under her chin and pulled her face up. "Look at me."
Her emerald eyes burned into mine. "Yes?"
I leaned my face towards her, keeping our eyes locked.
"OUT OF THE WATER!" Someone screamed from the shore.
We both groaned. In trouble again.
