She loved him. He hated her. The world collapsed. The day was saved. She died for the one she loved. He fought for the one he lost. They sang, they lived, they fought, and they died.

"We only have about a minute before they realize we're not supposed to be here," Nico said, scanning their surroundings. "Hurry up." Annabeth nodded. She walked towards the house and knocked on the door. Percy opened it and smiled at her.

"Hi," he said. "What's your name?" Annabeth bit back a sob.

"I'm Annabeth," she said, forcing a smile.

"That's cool. I'm waiting for a girl named Annabeth. She'll be here soon. I can't wait," he smiled.

"I bet," Annabeth said weakly. She leaned in and kissed him, just one more time. She just wanted to feel his lips, one more time.

"Wow, that was nice," Percy said. "Whoever you love is lucky."

"Yeah, I bet they are. I have to go now," Annabeth said. Percy nodded.

"Come by again! Maybe we can have dinner when Annabeth gets here."

"I'd love that," Annabeth said, smiling through the overwhelming pain.

"We can't do this again," Nico said as he grabbed her elbow.

"I know," Annabeth whispered, looking back at Percy who waved at them. Then, darkness overcame them.
