Hello people of the FanFiction World!

We are so, so sorry for not updating. I know we say that a lot, but this time we really are sorry. We recently got through our writer's block, (FINALLY!), so we've been working on a few one shots, some holiday specials, and just our stories in general. We actually just finished a four-chapter story yesterday, so look out for that!

Also, the final chapter of GNO (Girls Night Out) should be coming out soon, so keep checking! For now, though, please enjoy part 4 of Mine!

"Annabeth, talk to me. What's wrong?" Percy asked, coming over.

"Nothing. I'm fine," I said, lying again.

"Annabeth. You can tell me," Percy coaxed.

"Percy, I'm fine. Do you see me? Do I look okay? Yes. So leave me alone," I snapped.

"Whoa, Miss Crabby. This is the greeting I get when I come home?" Percy joked, putting his arms up in fake surrender.

"Well, if you come home at 2 A.M. If you can't do the math-which you can't-that's 7 hours later than you told me!" Oooh, that was a total burn. "Besides, Percy, I know that you're working hard to get the recommendation, but you could call once in a while!" I fired back.

"Annabeth Chase, will you calm down? First of all, you tell me to work harder, and so I do, and then, you get mad at me for staying up later to do so!" Percy responded, his voice rising.

"Well, if you don't want me pestering you all the time, maybe I should just leave!" I yelled.

"Fine!" Percy screamed at me.

"Fine!" I opened front door and it slammed loudly behind me. Right now, I didn't care who heard. I hastily walked to the elevator, only to find out that it was out of order. I huffed in anger but opened the door next to the elevator and raced down four levels of stairs, coming out at the ground level five minutes later.

I didn't have a jacket and it was freezing cold, but I wasn't going back inside just to get one. I rubbed my arms with my hands as I contemplated on what to do. But my brain wasn't functioning too well, so I started running. Running into the darkness, to who knows where. I just ran. I had to get as far away from that house as I could. I found the sidewalk turning to dirt, and the small roads turning into highways.

"Annabeth!" a voice from behind me called. Ugh, Percy. Of course he would follow me. I didn't stop or turn around, instead, I merely kept going, trying to pick up my pace.

Soon, my side started hurting, and I reluctantly halted at the side of the road to catch my breath.

A car that I didn't see came barreling down the road. Suddenly, it skidded on a patch of ice and was about to run into me, if it wasn't for a pair of strong arms that grabbed my waist and pulled me away, right into a thorn bush.
"Ow," I muttered, slapping the arms away. I knew it was Percy. "What do you want?" I asked harshly.

Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that's all I've ever known
Then, you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."

I was almost certain that he would suggest that we spend some time away from each other for a while. That we both needed some time to think. But what he did next surprised me.

"Annabeth, I'm really sorry. I know I should've called. I shouldn't have shouted like that," he said softly. I stubbornly turned away from him, my arms crossed.

"You know I didn't mean it," he told me, and I somehow knew he was telling the truth. I looked at his face. It was pained, like he really regretted it.

"Annabeth," he started, "I don't want you to leave. Ever. I want you to stay in our little apartment in the middle of New York and we can go to an old folks home together and laugh at the memories that be had in the past," he told me in one big rush.

"Do you mean it?" I asked softly, my voice cracking.

"Yes," he said earnestly.

"Really?" I asked again.

"Annabeth, are you trying to talk me out of it?" Percy joked, his lopsided smile appearing on his face. I punched his arm.

You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.
She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

"When you doubt it, just remember that picnic at the lake. A time when we were two reckless kids," he said. I smiled. That day was truly my favorite day in the entire world.

"Hey Annabeth?" Percy asked nervously, grabbing my hand and leading me back to the house.

"Yeah?" I asked.

Percy took both my cold hands in his. He looked me straight in the eyes. Green locked on to gray. "Annabeth Chase, I never want you to forget that you are the best thing that's ever been mine."

Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now

Aw, isn't that sweet? Yeah, it was kinda cheesy, but cheese is good every once in a while. :)

Anyways, please review!
