Friends Again and I see Percy in the shower

Annabeth's POV

Why couldn't I stop thinking about him? It pained me to no end to see him standing there on half blood hill last summer. The desperation and sadness coming from his dreamy sea green eyes. I sighed. Why did I sigh, I asked myself. Oh what does it matter, he probably hates me right now for leaving him. Just because he wanted the best for me, and I turned away from him. I'm an idiot.

"Annabeth, time for breakfast sweety," my step-mother innocently beckoned from the kitchen.

"I'll be right there," I replied. I was working on Daedalus's laptop that he gave me, researching his architectural discoveries, projects. Everything was quite amazing if you ask me. I quietly walked into the kitchen and took my seat. My family knew something was bothering me but they wouldn't ever talk about it, they just gave my looks that said they were there if I needed someone to talk to.

"Hello Annabeth," my father said kindly. I knew something was bothering him. "Are you alright? You look terrible"

"I'm fine dad, just had a rough night, that's all," I replied. He went back to his coffee.

"Hey Annabeth, why hasn't your boyfriend called this year," the twins teased with an emphasis on "Boy" and "Friend."

"We're just friends, and I'm not sure we're even that right now," Oops, I had said too much.

"Honey, is there something going on between the two of you?" my step-mother asked. She looked worried.

"No- Not really, we just had a small fight last summer and I said some horrible things to Percy and now he probably hates me." I felt really bad saying those words and I probably looked worse. I felt like I was about to cry.

"Maybe you should talk to Percy and try to rekindle your friendship." I knew she was right.

"Alright, thanks for the advice," I basically ran to my bathroom. I turned on the shower and threw a drachma into the mist. "Percy Jackson," and with that an image can into view. I immediately blushed. "PERCY!!!" I yelled.

"WHAT THE!" he yelled as he fell flat on his butt in the shower. I laughed my head off. "Annabeth, when- ho- how long were you watching me?" he questioned. He was blushing as well. Why wouldn't he be if I was watching him take a shower.

"Not long, sorry about this, I could IM later," I replied. (A/N IM is Iris Messaging)

I'll IM you after I'm done taking a shower" He was covering himself up (wink wink). A few minutes I heard my name. I turned to him, but couldn't help but stare at him. He was just too hot. What am I saying?

"What do you need?"

"I just wanted to say I'm"

"Sorry," we both exclaimed.

"Let me go first," he commanded. "I'm sorry for saying all those things about Luke; I'M SO SORRY FOR HURTING YOU!!!" He looked as if he might break down any second. "I realized that us arguing about this isn't worth losing our precious friendship." I was touched as he said those words. It was like a huge burden was lifted from my shoulders. Then I realized something, Percy, he had always been there for me. Every step of the way, he was there to encourage me, help me, save me. He would never betray me, something that Luke had already done. It was my turn to do the talking.

"I'm sorry as well; I was defending a lost cause. Luke… he can't be brought back, I realize that now. I apologize for leaving you on half blood hill as well. You were just trying to help me, and left didn't listen. I didn't just not listen, I turned my back on you and I'm sorry."

"It's ok Wise Girl," he sincerely replied. "So, are we friends again."

"We never weren't friends, you're such a Seaweed Brain."

"That's why you love me."

"That's why I love you." What did I just say? Even Percy took a step back.

"Listen, I have to get to school alright, see you later Wise Girl"

"You too Seaweed Brain," and with that I waved through the IM.
