This story is getting pretty weird, I know. But to be perfectly honest with everyone, we don't really plan the chapters for this story. We pretty much just make them up at every corner, improvising and adapting. So, these chapters are actually a bit more of a surprise to Daughterofwater22 and I than they are to the rest of you. But anyways, here's the update you wanted for it.
-1 week later-
Percy's POV
Let me tell you something, waiting in the waiting room of a hospital is so boring. Not really much of anything to do except for sit in a chair, read, and or sleep. I'm at the hospital right now, waiting until I allowed to see Annabeth again. From what I've heard, she's been recovering fairly well, but she's still struggling a bit. I can't blame her, It was because of me that she was here in the first place. I didn't mean to run her over, I didn't mean to get her in this mess. I was just gonna drive home and she stepped in front of my car.
Why does my life have to be such a living hell? What have I ever done to deserve this? I just wish everything can just be easy for once. I know it's completely pointless to hope for such a thing, but it's a wish that I can't help but wish over and over again. I just want the world to stop being cruel at least once and be generous and merciful for at least once in everyone's lives.
As I kept thinking this, the door to Annabeth's room just opened. Her doctor was finally leaving and that meant I could finally see Annabeth. As he left, I went in. Annabeth was just lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling, obviously waiting for something to happen.
"Hey." I said to let her know I was here.
She looked at me. I couldn't what emotions I saw in her eyes, shock, nervousness, or irritation. "Hey." she simply said.
I closed the door behind me and grabbed a chair from the corner of the room. I moved it near Annabeth's bed so I was sitting right next to her. "How are you feeling?" I asked as I took my seat.
"Been better." She said, still staring at me. Let me tell you, it's actually pretty creepy when she does that to me.
"Annabeth, I'm really sorry for getting you in this mess. I didn't mean for any of this to happen, I never meant to run you over." I apologized.
"Percy, it's okay. If anything, it's really my fault. I was the one who ran in front of your car. So I'm probably in this mess because of me." She said.
'I don't get it, how can she not be angry with me? I mean, I understand what she's saying, but this is still my fault.' I thought to myself.
"Why did you run in front of my car?" I asked. I know this probably isn't the perfect time or place to be asking this, but I have to have an answer to this question.
"Why won't you give me a chance? Why won't you let me love you? Why can't you accept my feelings and let me be with you?" She asked, with tears starting to work their way down her cheeks.
I wasn't expecting that reacting coming from her. She knows why I can't. I trusted a girl with my full trust, and she just spat in my face. "I'm sorry." I said. I didn't really know what I was supposed to say right now.
"Percy, do you even realize how much I love you? She said as she was beginning to lean against her shoulder. I don't thing that's something she should be doing right now. All I could do was shrug my shoulders. I don't know. I don't know how she could possibly still have feelings for me. I don't even know what she sees in me. "I can't stop thinking about you. You always make me happy. You're always there for me when I need you. I never want to be with anyone else but you. I also can't help but think of you and me starting our lives together. The two of us, getting married, having children, growing old with and dying with. I want to be the one who will love you forever. Is that really so much to ask?" She stated, with sobs beginning to form.
As she was breaking down, I went and held her. I had no idea she felt this way for me. I mean, I felt something close to all of that towards her too, but I was too stupid and scared to even try to give her a chance. I can't help but want to smash my head with something. Here she is, trying to open her heart to me ever since we first met, and here I am, being such a selfish bastard and just shutting her down, almost like how Rachel did to me. Now I feel even more guilty than ever. I wish I had known this sooner, maybe than things would be much different.
"I'm so sorry Annabeth. I had no idea." I said, feeling broken myself right now. "Is there anything I can do to make up for all of this?" I asked.
She started to settle down a little. She wasn't crying and she wasn't shaking anymore. She looked up at me with hopeful eyes. "Will you promise me that you'll do one thing for me?" She asked.
"Just name it." I said.
Before she told what she wanted me to do make up for everything, she crashed her lips on mine. I was shocked first, but eventually got to kissing her back. I now knew for a fact that all she ever wanted was a chance. I may have kept pushing her away in the past, but now, that's never gonna happen again. When she pulled away, she stared deep into my eyes. You know how they say the eyes are the windows to the soul? Well, right now, I feel like she's staring deep into my soul. "Please, Let me love you and be with you?" She asked, hoping she could pick up where we left off that one night.
I didn't saying. Instead, I kissed her again. She returned the kiss as soon as it started. This kiss was my answer. My answer telling her that we were going to be together now.
That's all I gonna put for this chapter. I know it isn't much, but I need an update for this, and I need to get back to my other fanfictions. Sorry for the wait, and I'll se you all later.
