WEEEELLL, so you see, my computer messed up and then my dad tried to fix it but he ruined it even more and the hard drive crashed so it's taken months to get it fixed because the people at the repair shop had no fucking clue about what they were doing. Oh and all of my stuff got erased, that's why this chapter isn't longer...

I think that's all of them. If not PM me and I'll add you to the list! NEW SONG TIME!
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember,
The people we used to be.
It's even harder to picture,
That you're not here next to me.
ANNNND CHAPTER TIME!
READ and REVIEW, lovelies!
One month after lake house vacation.
Annabeth's POV
My phone buzzed on the table next to my reclined chair. A smile immediately spread across my face because I knew exactly who it was.
I picked it up, and I tried to shade it with my hand. I wasn't very successful though. It was just too sunny so I tried leaning my head over it to cover more of my phone so I could actually see the screen. I was outside laying in the sun by Allison's poolside. They were on vacation in Belize because their family is freaking rich, so, obviously, I took advantage of her amazing pool.
On the screen read, One New Message From: Percy(Chewbacca)
I clicked the open text message button and read:
Hello, my beautiful, wonderful girlfriend!
I smiled, and I text back very quickly with a text that I knew would irk him:
Hey, dork.
A few minutes later he responded so sarcastically.
Wow, you're so precious, aren't you? I laughed a little, knowing he was just kidding.
We went back and forth every few minutes talking about the things we had planned for the day and being an all around adorable couple.
After what seemed like hours, I got up and walked the short distance home.
Summer hadn't been super exciting this year, not very exciting at all really. It was nice though, getting to relax. We haven't had very many games, quite a few tournaments though. We've gotten first place in most of them but came in second and third on a few. Not as good as we could have done, but they were always fun. I was with my favorite girls. How could that not be fun? Oh, and Percy came to most of them. He's precious. A real sweetie. He was seriously the loudest one there, louder than Jon even. We, in turn, went to their games too. I can't say I was the loudest considering Allison came with me, but with our voices combined, we got quite a few glares from the opposing team. We didn't care though, we were having too much fun.
One game in particular.
*Flashback*
"WOOOOOH!" Allison hollered, leaning on the rail that was in front of the bleachers, her dark brown ponytail blowing back behind her. We were matching, like we always do when we come to their games. Our hair in a ponytail looped through the hole in our matching Yankees hat, softball t-shirt supporting our team with the sleeves cut off, Nike shorts with our tennis shoes, hers pink and mine a light blue, black smudged under our eyes. We looked like complete fools, but we don't really care what people think about us.
I yelled along with her, pumping my fists in the air like a complete nincompoop. I looked over to the other teams bleachers and noticed three girls in particular because, well, they were sending daggers our way. They looked like genuinely nice girls, but you could tell that if you got on their bad side, you were screwed. You could also tell that they all had boyfriends on the team.
Percy made his way up to bat and put his hand out, indicating he needed the pitcher to wait.
After he was ready, the pitcher threw the ball. Percy didn't swing because he didn't have to. It was down in the dirt.
"BALL ONE!" The ump yelled.
The girl that was glaring at us earlier yelled out, "It's alright, babe! Shake it off, shake it off!"
Next one, foul ball. Same the next time, but you could tell the pitcher was getting tense.
Ball two and finally, ball three.
"Come on, J.J! Get your head in the game!" The girl called out to the pitcher.
I looked over at Allison. It was a secret look that we only used when we wanted to make someone mad.
Percy was getting settled again, trying to calm his nerves, rolling his shoulders back.
The pitcher was too, but unfortunately for him, it wouldn't work.
Once he was ready, and right before -I mean right before- he pitched the ball, we both yelled as loud as humanly possible. Now, you see, Percy was used to this so he didn't even acknowledge us, but the pitcher however, was definitely not used to this and he ended up throwing a ball.
Percy threw his bat to the side and ran to first.
I cheered for him because that's what good girlfriends do, right? Then I made the big mistake of looking over at the other team's bleachers.
The girls were livid. I swear I saw steam coming out of the main girls' ears. They got off the bleachers and I was actually scared they were gonna come over to where we were, but they didn't. They stomped off to some security guard about 100 feet away from the field the boys were playing on.
I watched them walk over to him as Allison kept cheering. They started pointing over at us, and I blushed in embarrassment.
I turned around and nudged Allison. "Get ready to be thrown out." I muttered.
She just laughed and said, "They can't kick us out for that." But, about a minute later, I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Excuse me, ma'am." The police officer said gruffly. "I'm going to have to ask you two to leave."
"May I ask why?" I said politely.
"We've received some complaints about you two." He crossed his arms, spreading his feet farther apart.
Allison, finally paying attention to the conversation, turned around with a look on her face that made me want to fall on the floor and crack up, but with the situation we were in, I figure it best that I not.
"I'm sorry, sir, but are you smoking weed or something?" He was about to say something but she interrupted. "Uh, not done talking yet. This is a freaking baseball game not a ballet recital. Therefore, we're allowed to scream and yell and try to support our boyfriends. So, if you would be so kind, can you please leave us alone?"
"Allison, shut your mouth. You're going to get us in even more trouble!" I whispered to her.
"You can either go on your own, or I can escort you two out. Your choice." He said standing over us, trying to intimidate us.
"We'll leave voluntarily." I grumbled and dragged Allison along behind me.
*End flashback*
Maybe summer hadn't been as boring as I originally thought. Thankfully, we're still allowed in that park, but we were banned for three weeks.
"Annabeth! Sweetheart!" I heard my dad yelling from downstairs.
"Yeah?" I called back.
"We're going to Nando's for dinner, you want to come with us?"
"Yeah, I'll just get changed really fast!" I said getting up and walking to my closet. I put on a nice tank top and some jean shorts with sandals. I grabbed some headphones on my way out of my room, and plugged them into my phone.
I clicked play, deciding that whatever song was playing was good enough for me. Drunk by Ed Sheeran was playing. One of the best songs ever.
In the car on the way to Nando's, I decided to french braid my hair. I felt like it was a summer-y thing to do.
Percy and I text a little while on the fifteen minute trip to the restaurant. I told him I had to go though, due to the fact that we were almost there. It was time for family time. I hadn't spent much time with them this summer which made me sad. Even though they annoy me, I still love them. My brothers most of all.
But also my step mom. I feel like I'm drifting farther and farther away from her. It makes me sad because I used to hate her. It took a couple of years for me to even be able to stand being in the same room with her. After a few more years, we were friends, but this year, we're not as close. I miss her. Sometime we're going to have to go shopping or to a game or somewhere together because I miss having her so close.
I had my headphones so loud that I couldn't even hear when my dad said we were there. We walked inside and had a nice family dinner. My brothers, of course, were playing with tiny helicopters made out of Legos.
I laughed silently to myself as I watched them. My dad cleared his throat and I looked up.
"So, this Percy fellow, you like him a lot, don't you?"
Oh, no. I shouldn't have come here. I should have known this was going to happen. I awkwardly messed with my peri peri chicken.
"Uh, yeah. Why?" I sighed inwardly, knowing this conversation was unavoidable.
"I just worry about him hurting you. Just like any other father." He snapped at me.
"Just wondering." I mumbled.
He grumbled something back at me, but I didn't really care to hear anymore.
We finished the meal in silence with a few weird glances from my father to my step mom.
Hmm. That's odd.
Ta da. This is more of a filler chapter than anything. I sort of just wanted to show a normal day in the life of Annabeth Chase! So here it is. I hope you guys liked it. I spent a while working on it because I couldn't remember all I put before my computer completely jacked up. Well, I hope you guys have an awesome summer because my is going to be super duper awesome cause I'm going to VidCon so be jealous people... BE JEALOUS.

P.S. You guys should really really really really really really really review because these past couple of weeks have been pretty shitty and because you guys love me so much. (That last bit is sarcasm. You guys probably hate me, hahah.)
