Chapter 4: Confession?
I drove down to Clarisse's house. I rang the doorbell with her last name on it and waited for her to come down.
"What do you want?" She said once she saw I was at the door.
"I want you to tell Annabeth the truth. She thinks I'm lying to her and I cheated on her. The only person she`ll believe is you so will you tell her the truth."
"No." Clarisse answered simple. Then she slammed the door shut.
I banged on the door like a crazy person.
"Clarisse! Clarisse! You can't do this to me! This isn't fair!"
Clarisse suddenly opened the door again. "Fair? You wana talk about not fair? How about the fact that I gave 5 years to that stupid ass whole and he dumped me for some other girl. Or how about this one my high school boyfriend cheated on me the whole 3 years I was with him. That's not fair."
"What does any of that have to do with me?" I asked.
"You men are all the same!" Clarisse yelled. "You act like you love us then break our hearts. You would have done something bad to her eventually. I`m just speeding up the process. She`ll thank me later."
"Just because some guys broke your heart doesn't mean all men are like that."
"Please."
I pressed a button on his phone in his pocket.
Clarisse is about to close the door to her apartment.
"Wait!" I yelled. "So you made up the whole thing about us dating?"
"Yes! I made it up! I wanted Bryce back so I called you my boyfriend. What aren't you getting?"
I looked at my watch.
"Forget it. I got to get home."
I drove back to his and Annabeth`s apartment. I still had the keys so he just let myself in and went up. Annabeth was napping on the couch. She looked like an angel. I shook her body trying to wake her up.
"Annabeth. Wake up. I need you to hear something."
Annabeth eyes start to open.
"Percy? What are you doing here? I thought I kicked you out."
"I need you to hear something." I quickly took out my phone and scrolled to my recordings. "Listen."
Annabeth heard the conversation between me and Clarisse at her house.
Annabeth gasped. "I`m so sorry!" She said hugging me. "I should have believed you from the start."
"It's okay. I probably wouldn't have believed me either if I was you."
Annabeth took my hand in hers. "You can move back if you want. I really been missing you."
"I've missed you too."
"I mean I've been fighting all these monster that been coming alone. I forgot how hard that was."
She laughed, then I did too. Then we kissed.
