AU: Hey guys back again. A little writers block here. I know what would happen in the plot just finding it hard to write it all down. I didn't like this chapter since I think percy and annabeth are somewhat OOC. And it's short. So here you go guys. Gotta think of what to do next now.

XX- Apologies

"Oh Percy!" I screamed diving into him hugging him tightly.

"Can't. Breathe" He managed to get out. I pulled my hands back to my side. His voice was weak and dry, which made me even sadder.

"Oh, sorry" I apologized sitting back down in my chair. Then I realized that Percy might not know what was going to happen.

"I told you I'll be back by the next day." He said grinning, although in his state, there wasn't anything to smile about.

"Yeah." Was all I could come up with

"So, when am I gonna get better? I feel really horrible right now." He asked weekly, it made my heart sank.

"Percy, I need to tell you something" I said to him. I hate to be the one that says what will happen to him. I don't even know if I could tell him. But he deserved to know.

He just nodded weakly.

"Remember that cut on your back?" I asked trying to hold back my tears.

He nodded again.

"Well, it was p-p-poisoned, and it has a delaying effect. Today the poison finally set in, that's why you're feeling what you're feeling right now."

"But we can cure me right, Annabeth?" He asked me breathing deeply and with a soft voice. I finally snapped.

"I'm so sorry Percy, it's all my fault, if I was stronger or if I could have done something different- I'm so sorry!" I threw myself at him crying over his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry" I said muffled through his shirt over and over again.

And for what felt like an eternity. He pulled his arms around me. I just wished that time would stop and we could be in this position for all of time.

"Why are you saying sorry?" He asked me in between deep breaths.

"It's all my fault" I answered still sobbing through his shoulder.

"No it's not. I just kept my promise." He said coughing in between

"What promise?" I asked looking straight into his sea-green eyes.

"I promised to take care of you right?" He answered. And I burst into tears yet again.

"You shouldn't have kept that promise" I said still tears in my eyes.

"If I didn't I might have lost you. And living in a world without you, for me. Isn't worth living at all" He answered back holding me securely around his tube-filled arms.

"But now you're leaving me. Percy, I'll loose you." I said sobbing through his now wet clothes.

"At least you're alive. You'll enjoy life, I just won't be there to enjoy it with you"

I broke down in his shoulder crying every last bit out of me.
