No One's POV
No, he couldn't let her go, that was the last thing he wanted to do. He knew he had to get her back. He raced to the door with his keys and wallet in hand and rushed to the car.
Halfway to JFK Airport, he had already broken many laws; he had already speeded, ran through stop signs, and stop lights, but he didn't care. He hadn't been in an accident yet, thank the gods. Percy finally reached the airport and parked his car outside.
Airport security yelled out. "Sir, if you park there, it will be towed."
Percy didn't turn around. His car didn't matter at the time, Annabeth did.
He ran inside and looked at the boards, but there wasn't a flight to San Francisco. He headed to the flight attendants desk nearby to ask what was wrong.
"Oh, hold on let me see," while the attendant was busy typing away on the computer, he stood there impatiently.
"Oh, I'm sorry, there aren't any flight heading to San Francisco," his eyebrows creased in confusion.
"What? My wife is heading to San Francisco at this moment. There has to be a flight," he said to her and she continued looking.
"Yep, there's a flight to San Francisco. Flight 907 leaving Newark Airport at eight and arriving in San Francisco at midnight. It's already 8:10 so the flight is about to depart," she said and he was shocked.
"Wait! What? Newark Airport?"
"Yep, Newark Airport, I guess you went to the wrong airport,"
"Okay, thanks," he left the airport dejected. It couldn't get any worse. He went to his car that, luckily, hadn't been towed yet. Driving away, he made his way back to the now empty apartment.

Here Annabeth was, in the plane, on her way back home. She couldn't believe that she was leaving him. If someone told her a year ago that she would be in this position, she would have laughed in his or hers face.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts, the plane will depart soon," the attendant announced. She did as told and looked out the window as the plane departed, leaving New York behind.

Once Percy got home, he ransacked the place in search of a drachma. Finding one in the drawer in the kitchen, he rushed to the sink praying to see a friend of his from camp.
"Blackjack!" he yelled when the black Pegasus appeared.
"Yo Boss, what do you need from good old Blackjack?"The horse said in his mind.
"Can you come to my apartment? I need a ride to San Francisco quickly."
"No problem, I'll be there soon," and with that the message disappeared.
Waiting for Blackjack, Percy sat and contemplated what he would say to Annabeth. What should I say? Apologizing would be the first step for sure. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he nearly jumped a mile when he heard a crash from the balcony. He rushed out, completely forgetting about Blackjack, to find that it was indeed Blackjack, using his wings to dust off himself.
"Hey, boss, was I quick enough for you?"
"Definitely. Come on, let's go to California," and he mounted onto Blackjack.

"Annabeth? What are you doing here so late?" her father asked, shocked to see his daughter on his doorstep, close to one in the morning. Not only was it late, but it was pouring outside and she was soaked to the bone.
"Hey Dad, I just had some troubles with Percy," her dad let her in. After changing, she went back down, surprised to still see her father awake.
"Come here and tell me the whole story," as she explained, tears were running down her face. Dr. Chase looked down at his daughter, heartbroken that she had gone through all of this. He comforted her as best as he could. She said that she will sleep on the couch tonight, since her room had been changed into his office years ago. After a few more moments, he left to go back to sleep and she laid there, reflecting on the night.

Still in his suit, he descended from Blackjack. The rain storm was still happening and he was soaked. He tried to stay dry, but was already tired from the long night that he didn't care if he was getting one of his nice suits wet. Clothes clinging to his body, hair stuck to his face, he bid farewell to Blackjack and made his way up to the Chase's front door.
~.~.~.~
Annabeth lay there, listening to the rain patter across the roof. How could her life be such a mess? Leaving Percy was probably the hardest thing she ever did. Harder than any quest or monster she has ever encountered. As she thought about him, a knock at the door broke her thoughts.
"Who in Hades would be knocking at the door at two in the morning," she mumbled to herself. Opening the door, she was shocked to see him standing there.
"Annabeth, please come back."
