I'm sorry you guys haven't heard much from me. I just moved again and I just got internet again. So here's a little something I thought up last night. Overall I was going to make it into a Thaluke fic but I also got the idea to add in another guy who was interested in Thalia. I was thinking about making that Apollo, if you guys have any other ideas you can let me know either in a review or PM. Let me know how you guys like this idea. Thanks~ Bolts and Trees :D
My world came crashing down the moment he broke up with me. He ended a perfectly happy five year relationship. Maybe I was wrong in thinking it but I was happy. Apparently he wasn't. What makes it worse was there was another girl already lined up to take my place and the fact that it was our five year anniversary.
"What are you saying?" I asked him, my voice was tight the words were barely choked out.
"I think it's best that we see other people. We've been with one another for so long that we need to get back out there. Maybe in the future we'll come back to one another." Luke said.
"You're breaking up with me? There's someone else isn't there?" I choked.
Luke sighed, "Thalia don't take this the wrong way..."
"Answer my question, there's someone else isn't there?" I asked again, my temper was beginning to short.
He hesitated before nodded, "There is."
"Why? Do I bore you? Is there something wrong with me?" I asked him.
He shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with you, it's just that Kelli and I see things the same way. She understands me a little better than you can sometimes."
"You've slept with her haven't you?" I asked. I knew the answer I just wanted with every fiber in my body to deny it.
He nodded, "I have and I'm sorry."
"You're not sorry! You slept with another woman!" I snapped.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean for you to take it this hard." he sighed.
I laughed bitterly, tears blurred his face, "You're an asshole. How the hell did you think I would take this? You're leaving me for another woman that you've slept with. You expect me to think there's nothing wrong with me when clearly there must be considering you cheated on me."
"This is for the best. I think moving away from each other would be good for both of us. We need this more than you think we do Thalia. If, in the future we end up coming back for each other, then we were meant to be." he sighed.
"Get out. Get out of my apartment now!" I hissed. I advanced towards Luke and he backed away towards the door.
"I was hoping that we could still stay friends." he swallowed.
"Go, I never want to see you again!" I shrieked pushing him out the door into the hall. I threw his shoes and dinner jacket after him. I raked my hand through my hair causing the curls to fall and the bobby pins that pulled my hair back to tumble to the floor. My makeup was running down my face with the river of tears that poured out of my eyes. I couldn't believe what was happening, he had just ended it like that. It didn't mean anything to him, he ended it without a second thought.
I sank to my knees before curling up on the floor in front of the door. He'd come back, he'll realize he didn't really mean this. He loved me, didn't he? How is it that I spent the last five years in a relationship and he didn't love me. I was supposed to be tougher than this, I wasn't supposed to cry because my heart was broken.
The tile floor was cold and I was shivering like a wet puppy. I couldn't spend time like this curled up on the floor crying and wishing he'd stroll back in and tell me he made a terrible mistake. He was gone. He didn't want me anymore. I couldn't waste time and energy crying over someone who didn't love me. However all of this sounded good in theory and the only thing that felt right at the moment was to curl up and cry like a little girl.
After my crying episode was the time where I thought it would be an extremely good idea to drink an entire bottle of wine by myself and go through the shit that Luke had left behind. It probably wasn't the best idea in retrospection but that's always the second stage of a breakup. Around seven o'clock I had poured my first glass and opened one of the thousands of photo albums that I had stashed in my bedroom closet.
As the photo albums started to pile up on the other side of the couch the bottle of wine began to drain, I was becoming angrier. It was unfortunately my feeling of choice this evening. Usually after a couple drinks I go a little loopy, tonight however it was full on rage. Unlike most women I didn't cut Luke out of the pictures I just stared at them and allowed my anger to rise.
Finally after the eighteenth photo album I started pulling things out of the closets and dressers that belonged to him. All of the shirts and sweatpants, jeans and sweatshirts. Everything that belonged to him was eventually strewn across my bedroom floor and through the hall. I couldn't imagine my life without Luke. What was I going to do? I had a slightly decent job working as a bartender but I didn't want to work for the rest of my life there. I had given up going to the school I wanted to go to so I could be close to Luke. I had practically thrown five years of my life down the drain.
"Thalia open up!" someone pounded on my door.
My eyes barely opened and I tired to sit up but my head throbbed, "It's unlocked!"
The door swung open and my best friend Annabeth walked in. Her blond hair was piled into a bun on the top of her head, she wore a pair of jeans and a simple gray sweater with a pair of gray Toms.
"I've been trying to call you all night. What the hell happened in here?" she asked looking around the apartment. Luke's shit was still thrown around the entire apartment, pictures laid scattered around the couch, and two wine bottles sat on the coffee table.
"Luke broke up with me." I groaned it hurt to talk.
"So you drank yourself insane and trashed your apartment?" she asked gesturing to the scene that lay in front of her.
"What would you have done if Percy left you for another woman that he'd been cheating on you with for God knows how long?" I snapped.
Her jaw dropped, "He did what?"
"He left me for another woman. She understands him better." I laughed bitterly.
"Thalia, we're going to get him back." Annabeth promised.
"I don't want him back." I snorted. I tried not to wince in pain. My stomach was churning I hadn't eaten anything the previous night. Everything had fallen apart.
"How hungover are you?" Annabeth asked.
I winced, "Extremely."
"I'll go make you some breakfast and get you some Tylenol." she sighed before walking towards the kitchen. Moments later Annabeth returned with scrambled eggs, toast, and coffee with some Extra Strength Tylenol, "Eat it'll help with your hangover."
"I'm not hungry." I muttered.
"I'll shove it down your throat." she threatened. Her gray eyes were deadly serious and she didn't look like she was joking.
I managed to eat the food and drink the coffee. The Tylenol helped a little bit, "I don't even remember doing any of this."
"I wouldn't imagine considering you drank two bottles of wine by yourself." Annabeth sighed. She was beginning to throw Luke's shit into a box labeled "Jackass".
"What do I do?" I asked.
Annabeth looked up, "You're going to move on with your life, make him think you don't miss him a single bit, and you're going to make sure that you look amazingly hot. He'll be crawling back to you in a matter of a year."
"How am I going to do that?" I asked.
"You're going to get yourself a makeover, go out to the gym, get some new clothes, and make him see what he gave up. Get a new guy on your arm, make him see that you've moved on. It'll drive him crazy, he'll want you back the moment he sees you." she replied.
"You really think this is going to work?" I asked her.
"Positive, I've seen plenty of girls do it." she nodded.
"When do we start?" I asked.
"Tomorrow, meet me at the cafe, we're going to do a little recon, then we'll go to the gym. We're going to get you looking hot." Annabeth grinned.
What the hell had I just gotten myself into? I nodded, "What time?"
"Nine, we'll get to the gym by eleven." she replied, "However today we're going to go get some Ben and Jerry's and watch all the chick flicks we can."
I laughed, "You're the best."
"I know I am." she winked before giving me a hug. We ran to the grocery store down the road and grabbed some ice cream, Red Vines, and chocolate as well as some Oreos and whatever other junk/break up food we could think of. The rest of the day was spent watching movies I normally wouldn't watch upon any other occasion, however it was fun to watch especially the Diary of Bridget Jones.
