A/N So here's the second chapter. Tell me what you think. And thank you to those of you who have reviewed. I really appreciate it. :D

I forgot to put a disclaimer in before. Whoops… So here it is.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or any part of this story really.

Percy's POV

As I ran away, I paused for a second to look back at Artemis. She was still sitting where I left her, and our eyes met. They were full of hurt and sadness. This broke my heart to see and I turned back around and just ran faster. I didn't stop running until I reached the apartment building where I lived. I entered my room and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

That's when my dreams started. You see, demigod dreams really suck. They're never just dreams, but this one was a bit different. All around me were the voices of the one's I loved. My mom, my dad, Annabeth, Grover, Tyson, Thalia, Nico, and finally… Artemis. And they were all saying the same thing, "Why Percy? Why?" My dream then shifted to the last time I had seen Artemis. Her eyes were big and red and as she stared straight through me, she whispered, "Why did you do this to me Percy? Why?"

With that, I woke up, my breathing heavy, and sweat covering my body. I turned in my bed to see my alarm clock; it read 6:00 am. Figuring I wouldn't be able to get anymore sleep, I got dressed and went out for a walk. As I was passing the Empire State Building, I ran into one of the last people I wanted to see.

"Oh hey Percy," Annabeth said.

"Hey," I replied, giving her a weak smile.

"Is something wrong?" concern filled her face, which just made me feel all the more guilty for kissing Artemis. Sure, Annabeth and I haven't been on the best terms lately, but she didn't deserve to be cheated on.

"Um… I think we need to talk. How about we go to that café over there?" I asked while pointing to a little café across the street.

"Oh ok, sure," she replied.

We walked over to the café, sat down at a table, and then ordered some coffee. "So what did you want to talk about?" Oh gods, I wasn't ready for this. I didn't know how to say that I had cheated on her and now wanted to break up. Someone help me!

"Well, um…" I coughed to clear my throat. "Annabeth, I'm not going to lie to you. I truly love you but lately we've been growing apart and... I- I sort of kissed someone else?" Oh no. That came out like a question.

"Percy…" Annabeth started. I flinched, expecting her next words to turn into a torrent of angry words, so I was surprised when they weren't. "I feel the same about us growing apart, I think we have more of a brother-sister love type thing and," she took a deep breath, "if you really like this other person, then I'm okay with it."

I was seriously shocked. This wasn't the reaction I had been expecting. "So friends then?" I asked.

"The best," she replied with a grin. I smiled back. "So who is this girl?" she asked.

I frowned at this. "Well she's not exactly a girl… More like Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and moon?"

"You're in love with Artemis?" she whisper-yelled.

"Well I don't think love is the right word, more like an attraction," I replied meekly, unable to admit to myself that I may just love Artemis.

"Don't deny it Percy. Anyway, why are you still sitting here with me and not with her?" she asked.

"Well after we kissed, I ran away from her. She probably hates me now." I said mournfully.

"Well you never know until you talk to her," Annabeth replied.

"You're right. Thanks Annabeth, for being a great friend and all. I think I'll go up to Olympus right now and see if I can find her," I smiled, kissed her on the cheek and ran out.

Before I did, I heard Annabeth call out, "Wait Percy! Don't…" But it was too late. I was already out the door and crossing the street.

I didn't have time to wait for the security guard to ask me questions so as I was passing the desk, I just grabbed the key card and sprinted to the elevator. Looking around to make sure no one saw me, I inserted the key and pushed the button for the 600th floor. The door opened and I stepped out onto Olympus. It was in the process of being repaired but I was in too much of a hurry to see what is being built. I ran as fast as I could down the long sidewalk heading towards the throne room.

As I burst into the throne room, I saw two gods sitting in the center of the Greek omega and as they turned to look at me, the face of the one to the right (A/N Do the guy gods sit to the right or left of Zeus? Sorry, I don't have a book with me to check) brightened while the one in the middle just scowled at me. The one who was happy to see me was my dad, Poseidon, god of the seas and all that. And the god who wasn't all that happy was my dear uncle, Zeus. (Please note the sarcasm as I say that). I bowed to Zeus, and then to my father. "Perseus, we were just discussing you," my father said happily. He then looked at Zeus.

"Eh? Oh yes… Well it seems like your father here still wants you to become a god so starting tomorrow, you will be training in his undersea palace until he thinks you are ready to become a god, if you accept that is. Please say no, I would rather not have to deal with you for eternity," Zeus grumbled.

I was absolutely shocked. I didn't think the gods would give me another chance to become a god. Then I started thinking. If I were to become a god, wouldn't that mean I would have to see Artemis? Then maybe I could apologize to her and we might become something more… No! Stop it! First things first, you'll have to become a god. With these thoughts in my head, I said, "I accept Lord Zeus."

A/N Well that's the second chapter. Again, please review! I'd really appreciate it. Extra thanks to Whatever My Name for the idea! ^^
