Hey y'all! (yes, I am from Texas) Thanks for the awesome reviews! They make me so happy, yet I am a writer so I need more! NO FLAMERS. And I know y'all that in this story Annabeth is bipolar and emotional, but seriously shes supposed to be like that! I wanted this story different, but I will work on making her a stronger character! Thanks again! OH IM ADDING PERCYS POV SOON MAYBE IN THIS CHAPTERRRR!(:

Disclaimer: no I don't...sad day for me.

Annabeth's POV: (the next morning)

I'm a pathetic person. I left my best friend who I still loved out there. Wait, what? I can't be falling for him again. I'm way stronger than that, but I just can't help it. I mean I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. I'm not some bipolar person. Awh hell, yes I am. Here I am making mistakes again.

The doorbell rang and I prayed to all gods that it wasn't Percy.

They answered. It was just Thalia and Nico.

"Annabeth, what in the name of Hades is wrong with you? No offense, but you look like you died and just came back to life," Thalia said while Nico screamed "Hey!" at the Hades comment.

"Sorry, Thalia, I'm just going through a rough time right now."

Thalia shooed Nico into my kitchen to make something for breakfast. And we both knew that would take awhile.

"Speak, now," Thalia demanded.

"Thalia, I ruined it again! Percy probably hates me now! Gods, I need to stop being so emotional!"

Thalia shushed me, which probably means a very long and inspirational speech was coming. She still acts like a Hunter still.

"Annabeth, calm down. I know you are smarter than this! Hear me out, I may not be as smart as you but what I'm telling you is honest to the gods. Please just stop thinking things through so much!"

I nodded. "Spit it out then!" I said.

"Look Annabeth, I hate preaching about love and stuff, but you sorta need it right now. You say you messed everything up, but you just added a twist. Its that annoying goddess Aphrodite who "messed" everything up. She is making all these things happen because it makes you guys notice your strong feelings for each other. You know she told Percy when you were holding up the sky in California that she would make his love life complicated?"

"No...she did?"

"Yes! Gods, listen! I hate this, talking all sappy and crap! I know that you are smart enough to fix this, whatever is going on between you. But wait, you never told me what happened. Tell me now."

"Well, we had a perfect dinner, and we were acting like we were best friends again. I mean, its weird though. He acted like nothing happened between us until I mentioned in a joking way that we needed to hang out more, because I wanted to. Then he like whispers under his breath that he 'doesn't want to go through that again', which he is referring to the break-up. Then he held my hand on the way out and in the car, and it was weird but perfect. But, then I ruined it by telling him I was so sorry for leaving and that he deserves someone so much better than me. Gods!"

"Annabeth, slow down. Chill. Everything will be fine. I mean its so obvious whats going on between you guys."

"What's obvious? C'mon Thals! My brain is like mush right now, I can't think straight!"

"Wow, I never thought I'd hear that. Ha-ha! But seriously Annabeth, get a grip! Go over to Percy's now, and just tell him how you really feel. That may sound really stupid and idiotic but honestly I think its the only way. I mean you still love him right?"

"Woah, hold your pegusai! How do you know?"

"Annabeth, just tell me, not a big deal for me, but for you it is apparently. I know you still love him. Partly by you saying 'how do you know' and partly because I know you very well. You may have been gone for 5 years, but your like my little sister, even though your older than me now. I can read it in your eyes. I saw how when you guys were 18 the way you looked at each other, and when you talk about him now you do the same thing."

"Thals I'm acting..stupid..gosh I hate that word... I'm worrying and assuming too much. I'm going to go over there right now, and apologize. But what if he already moved on?"

"Annabeth, its been 10 hours since you sorta left him alone. He can't move on that fast. He is one of my best friends. I know his feelings for you."

"Are they good?"

"Really Annabeth? Find out for yourself! Just go! I'll make sure Nico doesn't burn your apartment down."

Thalia then walked over to the kitchen, and Nico wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. She giggled and turned around to kiss him. Did I mention I wanted to throw up every time they kissed?

I looked up his address in the yellow pages (you know, being my creepy self), and he was right. He did live close, so it wouldn't be a bad walk considering I have no car.

As I was walking I was going through what I had to say to him in my head. That wasn't going well. It seemed that I was wise in every subject except love.

But was I really in love with Seaweed Brain, again? I mean I had one date with him. I thought I was, but was it puppy love or honest-to-the-gods love?

I walked up to his door my palms shaking and sweating. Gross, I know. But, whatever, this was a stressful moment. I knocked and heard his voice yell in a groggy voice, "Coming..".

He opened the door wearing a white Hanes v-neck and boxers with fish all over them. Ironic, huh? He had huge bags under his eyes. It wasn't that early, was it? It was noon! Maybe he didn't sleep...

"Annabeth?" He immediately wrapped his arms around me, and I wrapped mine around his waist, considering he was a lot taller then me. I was surprised and completely weirded out. I thought he would slam the door in my face after all the pain I put him through. This was all of the sudden, but nice.

He invited me in, and it was a massive apartment for New York. It was beautiful. It had a room off to the side that had a wall of an aquarium, and a fountain in the middle. The houses colors were sea green and blue. It was like the ocean indoors, absolutely breathtaking.

"Percy," I breathed, "This is so gorgeous."

"I'm glad you approve Wise girl," he said and I looked at him and smiled so wide as he said my old nickname.

He told me to take a seat on the couch and we could watch a movie.

This was one of the weirdest happenings in my life. He invited me into his apartment, that could be a house, and acted like nothing happened. It was just like old times. Thats why it was so strange. I was here to apologize and tell him how I really feel, also to know if he even loves me back. But, now it was like we were two friends that were 14.

Percy sat down and wrapped his arm around me. I stiffened, then relaxed, because it felt right. I sound like a child of Aphrodite saying this mushy romance crap.

I then interrupted the moment by blurting out (I really need to stop doing this), "I'm so sorry, Percy, I shouldn't have done that I wasn't thinking!"

"You weren't thinking? Oh my gods! Call the police! Get some ambrosia!" he said jokingly and dramatically. I smiled and punched him in the arm. He rubbed it like it hurt, but Percy was invincible, so he was joking again. It seems like all he does is joke around, and strangely I loved it.

"Seriously Percy, I'm truly sorry. I don't want to get sappy, but when you said 'don't make me go through that again' last night it pushed me over the edge. I feel so guilty, and I should because it is my fault. And here you are, taking me into your home after I have caused you pain, I just don't get it-and don't make a comment about me not getting it!"

Percy just stared at me, and it felt like hours. Maybe the Seaweed Brain was trying to find an intelligent thing to say back...

Percy POV: (A/N:I told you I would do it! Its short though I'll do more of him in later chaps)

Now what am I supposed to say to this remark? She is right, I am a Seaweed Brain. Shes just so beautiful I had to stare.

It looks like my break of talking is hurting her, and thats not okay with me. So I finally decided what to say.

"Annabeth, I'm sorry for putting you through pain by saying that. I mean we are kinda even if you think about it, pain-wise. When you told me yesterday you were pained by leaving me 5 years ago, I was shocked. I didn't think you loved me that much, but I'll tell you now I missed you so much and I never stopped thinking about you. But, you know, out of all this pain its brought us closer."

"Wow Percy, that was smart, I'm proud! But, your right. It has brought us closer and Percy, just so you know, I loved you more than anything then."

THEN? I seriously thought we both were falling for each other again. I mean lets not dwell on the past people!

I looked away and distracted my mind for awhile. The 'then' comment and 'I lovED' comment seriously tore me apart. This girl meant the world to me, and shes still talking about our break-up 5 years ago?

Annabeth POV:

I'm mentally slapping myself right now. WHY DID I SAY THEN? Gods!

I knew that because of this mental smacking and terrible use of present tense and past tense was because I was still in love with Percy.

There I admitted it! I am in love with Percy Jackson.

Now, the challenging part is how do I tell him?

He then turned back around and got up to put in a movie. He grabbed the popcorn and put it between us. He didn't put his arm back in the place it was before. He then pressed play and Avatar came on.

"How in the name of Hades did you know this is my favorite movie?"

With his voice shaking he said, "This is y-your favorite t-too? I'm kinda o-obsessed with Iterri!

"Well, thats weird, because I pretty much want to marry Jake Sully," I said jokingly and his face looked pained.

"I'm kidding Percy," I said and he sighed a sigh of relief. I smiled internally.

After the 2 hour and 45 minute movie Percy's eyes were sparkling when the enemy was defeated. It made him look 18 again, which made my heart leap.

I had to tell him I loved him tonight! It just felt right. I know that we have only been united for like a week but whatever. Don't ask, when you love someone and know they are the 'one', you just know. But, I didn't want to be the first to say it, it was tradition for the boy to.

But, then out of the blue, Percy said, "Then?"

I was unable to move my lips. I was frozen.

Percy then said, "Annabeth I know we've only been in each others presence for a week, but thats long enough for me to fall in love again."

I smiled from ear to ear.

"I love you, Annabeth, and if you don't love me back, tell me now because that would be really embarrassing."

I laughed and said, "Percy, I love you too, then and now. So much was going through my head when I said 'then' that I hoped you wouldn't notice, but you did."

"Because I am a smart cookie!" Percy said like a kid and I giggled.

Percy chuckled and leaned in to kiss me. My heart was about to explode.

And let me just tell you, it was amazing. The best kisser I've kissed.

After, I smiled and jumped in his lap, and we spent the rest of the day watching movies, kissing, eating, and kissing.

Life was good again until...
