Chp 8
Annabeth's POV
I sat in my car outside the dorm and stared at the doors that would lead me to the person I need back. It had been one and a half weeks since he left. I had turned into the person my exes were after we broke up. Loners that can't bare not being together.
I finally plucked up the courage and got out my car. I went to the apartment I knew he stayed in as he had first mentioned it in our early relationship. I knocked on the door and waited. But no sound came. I knocked again and waited but nothing. I turned around as a person from the opposite door came out. He gave a smile. "Are you looking for someone?" He asked.
"Um, yeah. Percy Jackson. I think he lives in this apartment." I said, clearing my throat. "Oh, he moved out. He decided not to do his masters." He said. I frowned. "What?"
Percy's POV
I swirled the glass of wine in y hand but couldn't bring myself to drink it. I had been to Annabeth's place but her neighbour said she moved out. I hadn't known what to do. Is it my fault? Because I broke up with her did she move away?
I looked up as the rain started coming down harder outside. I noticed a familiar looking car across the street. I had no time to dwell on the car as there was a knock at my door. I got up and opened it.
There stood a completely soaked Annabeth standing in the rain. "I thought all I needed was some entertainment for a while and then when you left I would be fine. But I'm not. Because everything feels numb and I can't stand not being without you. I can't explain how much I need you, how much it hurts to think you won't be here with me." She said, speaking louder to be heard over the rain. I just listened to her in shock.
"And you aren't an arrogant swine like I thought you were. You are kind and seet and care for me. And you love me for me." She said, then got down on one knee in her jeans in the rain. "Marry me Percy. I can't imagine life without you." She said.
I stared at her in shock but then pulled her to her feet and kissed her. I didn't care I was getting rained on or that she was wet. We could be in space for all I care. "Yes, yes yes." I said, then kissed her again. I lifted her off her feet and squeezed her tightly. She laughed and I set her down. She put her hand on my cheek and said, "I love you. Now let's get inside, I'm freezing!"
Yay! Another book done! Thank you for the reviews! I apologize for the short story. I enjoyed this book and hope you did too! Will put on my thinking cap to think of a new story, but it's half past two in the morning and tiredness is starting to hit me so bye!
