A/N: Thanks for all of the reviews! Okay, let me state this again. The chapters need to be short in order to work with the switching of POVs and with the end of a scene. Please don't comment on the shortness of the chapters. I changed the title of the story to This Isn't the End because it's starting to fit and it sounds a bit better.

Told from Annabeth's POV

Here you are, still sitting on the bench swing at that back porch of the Big House. It was always your favorite place to sit when you were smaller. The only person who knew about the place was Percy.

"Hey Annabeth," a voice from behind you says. You knew immediately that the voice could only belong to one person, and that person was Claire. You didn't know she knew that you were here, but you don't ask her.

"How are you holding up?" and you know what she's implying and you tell her about the funeral and what has happened within the past six months.

"So you were actually going to tell him the truth?" she asks.

After thinking, you confess, "Yeah, I miss him, even if he is a Seaweed Brain. I…I still love him. I really do."

"Well isn't that a relief," a voice said. You turn behind you and see, none other than, Thalia in her Huntress uniform. You get up and hug her. You haven't seen her since the war and she looks no different. You ask her how she is doing.

"Nothing has changed for me, but for you, on the other hand…" she doesn't need to finish the rest to let you know what she was implying.

"You still love him, Annabeth. What are you doing here?" Thalia asks. You tell her what has happened within the past few months, but when you explain, she isn't surprised. That surprises you and you ask why she is not.

"Percy. I talked to him awhile ago. He said you were in love with another man, and I seriously doubt that. Turns out, I'm right," she says.

"What did he say?" you ask almost immediately after her.

"I won't say anything. This is between you and Percy. You need to tell him the truth, Annabeth. Just swallow your pride," she advises.

"But I lied to him! Instead of having him back, I had to spite him. He's never going to want me back after what happened!" you tell her, but more like yell.

"Annabeth, even though I haven't known you or Percy for a long time, I know that he loves you and you just confessed that you love him. You have nothing to lose," Claire says.

"Percy will never give up on you. Remember when you were kidnapped. He never gave up trying to find you. He was so distressed. He had to find a way onto the quest. Percy has always been right by your side no matter what happened. This isn't the end for you and him. There is no end. You're meant to be," Thalia said. You never knew she could be so insightful.

"I'll think about it okay. I just don't know yet," you have the worst fear of him hating you. That's the main thing you're scared of.

"Just for once, let your heart rule your head. You can do it Annabeth. Sure we're daughters of Athena, but it doesn't mean that everything has to be thought through first. Just do it," Claire says. You still can't be sure. After everything, will he still want you? Does he still love you? Are you going to overcome fear and tell him? Are you really going to let you heart rule? You don't know for sure the answer to any of these questions.

How'd you like it? Next chapter is coming up as soon as possible! Reviews please!
