Day Three...
After I met... uh.. what's his name? Percy? Yeah, after I met Percy, I went home. After that little, 'incident' the last person I wanted to see was Percy. But, no such luck. The next morning, when I was at home, on the couch, shifting through the TV channels, I heard the doorbell ring. I got up and walked over to the door. "Um... hi," I murmured, opening the door an inch. "Hey... I was wondering why you left the pet store so suddenly," Percy said, his hands in his pockets. "Well, why are you on my doorstep?" I squinted my eyes at Percy. Percy rolled his eyes. "That doesn't matter. Just answer me," He sighed. I backed up. "Dude, answer my question first. Then, we'll talk," I cleared my throat. Percy hesitated, obviously ticked off. I'm pretty sure that a memory came through to her back at the pet store... so... if I tell her that she gave me her address before she lost her memory... maybe she'll remember that I'm her boyfriend... Percy thought, not knowing what to do. "I... uh..." He bit his lip. "Well?" I asked Percy, impatiently. "I...whoa, what's that?" Percy turned around and pointed in the sky. I squinted, trying to find what he was looking at, but by the time I had realized that he had tricked me, Percy was already running down the street. "Hey!" I shouted and ran after him. For some reason, I was able to catch up to him quickly. I pulled the collar on his short and tripped backward. I spun around in front of him, and pushed him to the side so he would land on the grass, not the sidewalk. "Ow!" Percy yelped when he hit the wet grass. "Dude, why are you here?" I asked Percy, who was shocked by my surprise attack. How did I even do that surprise attack? Percy gulped, coughed, and sat up. "I... I... it was a lucky guess?" He sputtered. I sighed and help him up. "I'll act like that's what really happened," I rolled my eyes and started walking back to my house. "Hey, come back!" Percy called to me. I ignored him and grabbed my keys in my house. I walked back outside, where Percy was standing there strangely. I got in my car and rolled down the window. Percy scrunched up his eyebrows. "Where are you-"
"Get in," I snapped back before he could finish. He blinked a few times, and then got in the car.
I drove in circles, trying to find a mall or restaurant or anything other than Cittie Street. When we had driven by the same blue house seven times, I had a meltdown. I slammed on the brakes and banged my head down on the steering wheel. "I don't know where I'm going!" I cried, feeling anger and sadness boil inside of me. Percy looked at me and gave me a weak smile. He started to say, "Don't worry, Annabeth. It's going to be-"
"Don't even say it's going to be okay!" I shouted, tears in my eyes. "Can't you see I'm anything but okay?! My life is ruined! I can't remember anything!" I sobbed. Percy bit his lip, trying to find the right words to say. "And I probably never had any friends before I got amnesia! I probably didn't even have a boyfriend! I was probably just a big hot mess!" I felt hot tears stream down my face. Percy suddenly felt the urge to just hug Annabeth and explain everything to her. But he stopped himself. Instead, he got out of the car, and walked over to the driver's side. He opened the door and smiled. "Let me take you back to my place," He said. I hesitated, hoping I was making the right choice. "Okay," I whimpered. Percy nodded and helped me into the passenger's seat, and then drove off to his apartment.
When we got to the apartment building, I felt something stir inside of me. I knew I didn't recognize this place, but I felt as if I did. When Percy let me inside his apartment, another flash blinded me and I hit the ground.
This time, I was running down stairs. I could hear... Percy's voice... and another girl's voice. I was running away from something... and then I fell and-
I snapped out of the dream and found myself on the floor again, shaky just like before. "Annabeth?" I heard Percy repeating my name, worriedly. I sat up, confused, and looked at Percy. "I-It's okay... they're just memories coming back. That's a good thing," I managed a weak smile, but Percy looked deathly pale. "I.. um... yeah. It's a good thing," He laughed nervously. "Uh... you wanna watch a movie?" He asked me, scratching his head. I sighed and looked out the window. What's the harm? I'm already here, so... I looked up and smiled weakly. "Sure," I said. Percy nodded. "Okay. Just pick anything from the movie rack over there," He pointed across the room to a large case of movies. "Alright..." I mumbled and walked over to the movies. For some reason, my hand went straight to some old classic movie called Love on The Terrace. I examined the cover of the movie. It was a silhouette of a girl and guy holding hands on a terrace, with a red and orange sun setting in the background. I got up, still looking at the movie. "Oops," I mumbled, bumping into Percy who had been watching me. "Oh, uh, sorry. Is that the movie you want to see?" He asked me, turning a shade of white. I blinked at him strangely. "Um... yes," I smiled ad handed the movie to him. This was our favorite movie we used to watch together, Percy thought sadly. I walked up to the window and peered outside. Millions of little white snowflakes fluttered to the ground. The sun was setting just like the sunset on the cover of that movie.
It wasn't long before me and Percy were watching the movie on the couch. The sun was already gone and the moon was out. The movie was sad and I swear I had seen Percy wipe tears off his face. I was exhausted from today, so after about an hour, I let my eyes flutter shut, and I drifted off to sleep...
Day Four...
My eyes slowly opened the next morning. I looked around, and found myself wrapped in Percy's arms. If this was the day before yesterday, or any day before that, I probably would've screamed and smacked him with the closest thing. But... now, I felt... different. When I realized I didn't want to move, I looked down at Percy. I had only known him for a few days... but he was the only person that was nice to me, apart from Piper. I bit my lip noticing I had a bit of a crush on Percy. As if Percy had known what I was thinking, his eyes opened and he smiled warmly at me. "Good night's sleep?" He asked. I unraveled myself from his arms and nodded. "Yes. And that movie was wonderful," I returned the smile back to Percy. "Good," He said and got up off the couch. "Oh, by any chance, do you know if I have a job?" I asked stupidly. Percy shrugged. "Maybe... er... probably... uh... I don't know," He lied. Percy knew Annabeth was an architect, but he loved having her around. I sighed. "Okay... so... you wanna do something?" I asked. Percy nodded. "Sure," He smiled. "Since we don't know your birthday-" Lie. "Maybe I could buy you something," He said. I nodded. "Alright," I sighed and looked at him dreamily. Jeez, the only birthday present I want right now is for him to love me, I thought. Percy looked up strangely. At first, I was convinced he had heard what I had thought. Then... he smirked weirdly, which made me think that my wish was about to come true. Yeah... it was.
