Annabeth's POV:

I wake up early with butterflies. I'm lying next to an amazing man. No, not Percy Jackson; you may know that since I didn't say the most amazing man. I'm next to Kevin Jones, my fiancé. Everybody always expected me and Percy to get married, and I think that may be why we didn't stay together. They all knew it would just happen. We split last August, just after his 23 birthday. Now this October I'm trying to recover in the brisk autumn weather.

Kevin proposed in July, almost a year since the break up with Percy. I just couldn't resist saying yes. I love him. But part of me just tells me no. Its like my heart is pulling on my shirt trying to get my attention like a kindergartener with their teacher. What makes it even worse was on the way in I saw Percy leaving with a date. He seemed in love, starring deep into her eyes as she giggled. So I ducked and avoided him. That made me realize the best I could get would be Kevin; but he's still no Percy Jackson.

The ring didn't fit. It was too big. That just made me feel like it's not meant to be. But he just took it to the jewelry store and got it fixed. Now this weight of heavy diamonds seems to pull me down. Everyone feels this way, I tell myself. But I don't think it feels so much like this. I worry it's just not right. Not meant to be. But maybe it is. I shrug. I have the perfect dress, all the plans are done and over with. Tomorrow will be the best day of my life.

Hopefully.

I wake in my apartment alone. Well, my best friend Elleign is in other room asleep with all the other bridesmaids, but no Kevin. I'm crying under the covers, knowing I didn't make the right choice. Percy is for me. But I have a wedding today. My whole family is here. My mother, Athena, is even coming. I can't just cancel. And of course Kevin. He loves me with everything he has. It would jut crush him. But what good is marriage when it's not meant to be?

You love Kevin, I tell myself. You're going to marry him and spend the rest of your life with him. Everything will be perfect and we will live happily ever after.

I think.

My white dress falls perfectly to the floor, with its sequence shining on the top, and my hair and makeup are nice enough to make a daughter of Aphrodite jealous. I look beautiful. But my smile is not what it is suppose to be. I hear a knock on the door and Elleign opens it to see my dad standing there in a tuxedo.

"It's almost time." He tells us. All the girls run out of the room to leave us alone for a minute. He smiles at me and tells me, "You look beautiful."

"Thank you, dad." I say in an almost dead tone.

"What's wrong, Annabeth?" He asks concerned walking towards me.

I shrug. "Nothing; I'm happy." I force a smile.

"You're lying. Now tell me what's up."

I want to tell him. I need to tell somebody. I hesitate for a minute and then I say, "I still love Percy. Everybody knows that, but I really still love him way more than I should. I love him more than I love Kevin." By now I'm in a storm of tears. One bye one they drop making my makeup worse and worse by the second.

"I know. I've known all along. With Percy you just we're so happy. Your eyes sparkled the moment he would walk into the room. You just were so comfortable and in love. You weren't the same with Kevin. You look almost scared around him."

"I just didn't feel that fairy tale feeling I felt with Percy. Am I stupid for dreaming that I could with Jason?"

"No not stupid, just unsure." He kisses my forehead. "So what are you doing? Are you going through with it?"

"Yes, I think I want to." One last tear falls down my cheek and I wipe then all away and go fix my makeup. Five minutes later it was time. Dad and I walked out of the room and on our way down the hall to the wedding, I see Percy sitting on the floor at the end with his head in his hands, mumbling all this nonsense about how stupid he was.

"Go daddy," I whisper.

"Okay," He walks down the hall, leaving the two of us alone.

"Hey," I say making him jump. He looks up and sees me and jumps up to hug me.

"You look so beautiful." He smiles.

"What are you doing here, Percy?"

"Annabeth, I know I may be too late, but I need to talk to you. I haven't been the same since we broke up. I just can't function. I feel like I could just die and be better than I feel without you. I know I'm too late, but I just want you too know that I love you and-" He stops and looks into my eyes like he used to. And it just feels like my world has stopped spinning finally. I want him to kiss me he can tell, but he hesitates. His hands lie warmly on my cheeks and he begins to move closer to me. Finally our lips gently touch, and I feel the most wonderful feeling. My prince has finally saved me. I think as the kiss increases and begin to feel even better. He hands run themselves through my long, curly hair and I feel happy again. Then he pulls away putting his forehead on my mine.

"I'm sorry." I whisper to him. "But I'm with Kevin, now. Percy, I love you. I always will, no matter what; Ever since I was twelve. But I've moved on and I'm sorry, but goodbye."

"I understand." He says. "But I'll never stop loving you. Bye." And with one small wave, he walks away, leaving me in tears. But they feel almost joyful. That last kiss from him will be the best ever, and will keep me going. Kevin and I will be together. I love him.

Life is not like the movies. It doesn't always have that happy ending you dream of. But somehow, what I'm doing seems right. I will live happily ever after with Jason.
