A/N: Thanks for the review!
Told from Percy's POV
You stand outside her door, fuming. You can't believe she had lied. Halfway out the building, you know that you can't leave things unresolved like this again. While making the trek back to her apartment, you consider the things you will say.
Without bothering to knock, you barge into the apartment and see her on the couch, head in her hands.
"Percy?" she looks up.
You stand there, by the door, with your eyes closed for a minute.
"Annabeth, just let me talk. Don't ever doubt the fact that I still immensely care about you no matter what. I've realized a long time ago that no matter what happens, I will still care about you. But, I don't know if just caring will pull us through a working relationship," you speak softly. You move to sit on the other end of the couch.
"A relationship's foundation basically is made up of three things: love, faith, and trust. Without anyone of them, the foundation crumbles along with the relationship. You broke two of the three, Annabeth. Faith comes with trust, in a way, but it's hard to build back when it's gone. I know that the relationship we previously shared is in ruins," taking a deep breath, you admit your feelings.
"I got to be honest with you , I just don't know if we will. I've been hurt and confused these past months, and I still feel that way. Right now I'm trying really hard to just not think about it, because when I do, all the pain just comes out. I'm tired of feeling that way, but I don't know how else to feel. Annabeth, you didn't trust me and I found out you lied to me about a made up boyfriend to spite me for something I didn't do! That hurt me beyond belief."
"But I still love you and I still want a relationship with you. It'll take a lot to build up a new one after this happening, but I'm willing to try. Most of the trust in our previous relationship did come from years of friendship and I guess some trust still remains, but not much," you look at her directly in the eyes and take her hand.
"Annabeth, I know this is scary to say, but I just can't imagine my life without you in it. I want you in my future, but as more than a friend. Even after this, I still love you and still want us. This isn't the end for you and me. I don't want it to end. If you want to try again, I'm all for it, but I need to tell you this. You hurt me a lot with the lie, and I don't know if I'll be able to survive if you hurt me like this again," you close your speech. Waiting for her reply felt like it took hours.
How was it? I kind of had to stop so I could switch back to Annabeth. REVIEW!
