I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE YOU

ANNABETH's POV

In the car we were in silence, since the pool, we had barely said a word. His eyes were on the road as well as mine.

"You mad?" He said after taking my hand.

"Why would I be mad?"

"I dont know since we left he club you haven't talked"

"Well, you haven't talked either."

"Youre right" he smiled.

"So, when we were at the pool you seemed... I dont know.. So comfortable in the water.." I said after he intertwined our fingers.

'Yeah... Don't ask me why, i just really like it, it helps me relax" he said still looking at the road'

"Relax?"

"Yup"

"But i thought you were always relaxed, i mean, you always look relaxed" He smiled

"Just because i look relaxed doesnt mean i am"

The next weeks were kind of perfect we were so happy i started to think that it was a dream.

Percy's POV

I was in my English class and Connor Stoll was in it, when the bell rang he stood in front of me.

"What do you want?' I asked irritated.

"Woah! Calm down, man. I need to talk to you"

"Then talk" i said putting my pencil inside my bag.

"I need another favor.."

"Im sorry.. I'm out of service" i said walking towards the door.

"Ok, this is easy.. You have to take her to the homecoming, so i can go with Silena as well" he said before i turned and face him.

"And what makes you think ill do it?" I asked.

"Easy... You take her to the dance or I tell her that all this time you have been using her to make some money" I was looking at him, furious.

"Fine, but after this youll forget about me"

I said getting out of the classroom and running to the cafeteria and looking for Annabeth then i saw her, she was sitting at a table with her friend Thalia, I walked towards them and sat besides Annabeth who gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey, you" she said smiling but when she saw my face, her face changed to worry.

"We need to talk" i said and i noticed that my voice sounded different. She stood up and led me to the parking lot.

"Whats wrong?" She said looking me in the eyes.

I didnt know how to tell her, i didnt even know if Stoll would tell her and I didnt want her away. I stood there in front of her just looking at her for like 2 minutes. "What is it, Percy? You are scarin..

I interrupted her by kissing her forcefully, she seemed surprised but in a second she was running her hands trought my hair. My hands were in her waist pulling her closer to me. I dont know how but when i pulled away to take some air i found out her body was between me and a wall.

"Ok, you have to stop saying we need to talk, and just kiss me" She said in a whisper. "Seriously" she smiled.

"I don't want to loose you" she was looking me in the eyes and after 1 minute she grabbed my face with her hands.

"You are not gonna loose me.. What makes you think that?"

"I... I dont know" i said before i kissed her again.

She was prepared to start talking but i wasnt in the mood so i let go of her and left.

I arrived at her house at 6 o' clock and she was sitting on the ground.

"Hey"

"What are you doing here?" She said esceptically before she got up and walked towards her house. I ran after her and grabbed her wrist to make her look at me.

"Let me go" she said

"But... What is going on?"

"You.. You just keep pushing me away, Percy, i don't.."

"You? You are the one talking about pushing people away?" I was looking her in the eyes

"What does that mean?"

"You are the one who keeps pushing me away"

"I'm not pushing you away, I tell you everything about me but you never talk about you and your family and.." She breathed. And stop yelling "And I don't know what to do to make you trust me" she said softly and I hugged her.

"I'm sorry" I said in the same tone she was using. "I just.. I don't know how t-" she interrupted me

"Stop talking"

"No, listen Annabeth. I trust you more than i trust anyone else" We were looking each other in the eyes. She smiled."And i'm not trying to push you away from me, it is just.."

"Come in" she said before she started to lead me to her house. "I want you to meet my dad"

We were almost running until we got to the kitchen and a man was standing there, looking at us.

"So, Annabeth who is our guest?"

"Dad, this is Percy.. My boyfriend" she said softly.

"Nice to meet you, Sir." He nodded and so did my dad.

"Well.. I have to go, your sister called and she wants to go pick her up" he walked out of the house and left us totally alone.

Annabeth's POV

I felt his arms around my waist and turned myself to face him. "I'm sorry"

"It's okay" I said rapidly.

"Im sorry" he repeated.

"Jeez, apology accepted"

He smiled at me and I put my head in his chest, hearing his heartbeat.

"I want things to change between us." He said but I could barely hear him.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Because we both have our walls up.. And I want you to trust me just like I trust you"

"You know, sometimes i feel like you're hiding something.. But I don't know how to ask you about it"

There was a silence, it wasn't akwhard but it made me think that I was right because Percy didn't deny it or accept it and it was killing me.
