KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Annabeth are you…ready?"

I was taken aback at the sight of my best friend. Gods she looked amazing! She was wearing a sparkling dark blue strapless dress that flowed to the ground, with silver moon earrings and a matching owl necklace. Her hair placed over her shoulders and a little bit of makeup just enhanced what she was wearing and intensified how beautiful she looked. I stopped staring and brought her in for a hug. Her scent was intoxicating, but I can never figure it out.

"Annabeth you look stunning. Can I ask, what smell?" Yep that came out so wrong. Dammit!

She laughed, "Thanks Kelp Head. Aloe Vera and almond oil, do you like it?"

Too embarrassed to respond, I nodded my head.

"You don't have to be so nervous Percy. So where are we going?"

I smirked, "That is a surprise Wise Girl."

Smirking back she replied, "I hate that smug face of yours. Can't I have one hint?"

I huffed, "Fine. We are going to a place, where colours come to life."

Before Annabeth could reply, I pushed her into my car. Getting in the car I winked at her.

"Keep the guess to yourself. Just enjoy the surprise Annie."

She sighed, "Fine, but I get to choose the radio station."

I laughed and allowed her to choose.

"Hmm…Smooth Fm."

About ten minutes later we arrived. Annabeth's excitement lit her whole face up.

She shrieked, "An art festival with Katie Melua performing live! OMG this is amazing Percy! Thankyou so much!"

I got out the car and helped Annabeth out.

"You deserve it. I want to spoil you today."

"How come?"

"Because you are the most amazing best friend anyone could ask for. That's why."

"Aren't you sweet Seaweed Brain. Haha!"

We looked at paintings and sculptures for about an hour before we entered the foyer to get a drink. I handed one to Annabeth and cheered on Katie Melua, who just entered.

"Hi everyone is lovely to see you all. The first song I am going to perform is, 'Thankyou Stars', but first we have a request. Percy Jackson is going to play a song he wrote for a special someone."

Annabeth, jaw open, stared at me. The butterflies kicked in again. My head was spinning. I was so nervous. Not as nervous as Annabeth seemed to be right at this moment. Looking into her eyes, I said, "This song was written for you. I call it Forever Yours."

I never thought that this would be so hard to say.

I used to believe love wasn't reachable,

but now it always seems so real.

There has to be a way I can show my heart,

without these doubtful hopes.

Even when I try to forget, I see your face and I can't erase it.

There's never been a doubt in my mind about how I feel,

can you see the signs, I am losing my mind

I hope when the time comes, I don't scare you away,

my heart is forever yours alone

Times you come around, with a face full of pained tears,

burns my heart like a match to a tree.

I always turn on the radio and try to sing to every song I know,

that always lights up your darkened mood.

And all those stressful nights we snuggle up,

unbeknown to him we keep it to ourselves.

Even when I try to forget, I see your face and I can't erase it.

There's never been a doubt in my mind about how I feel,

can you see the signs, I am losing my mind.

I hope when the time comes, I don't scare you away,

my heart is forever yours alone

Show me what you are thinking; that you care,

I'm falling slowly in this crazy chase, and i'm getting nowhere.

There's never a day that goes by that I don't think of you,

the absence of you is a horribly painful thought.

Even when I try to forget, I see your face and I can't erase it.

There's never been a doubt in my mind about how I feel,

can you see the signs, I am losing my mind.

Don't be afraid, I will catch you in my arms.

Standing by your side I will always stay strong,

my heart is forever yours alone

We are never going to fall down.

The cheers I was receiving encouraged my racing heart and got me singing louder. I never left her eyes, as I sang the entire song by myself with my acoustic guitar. When I was done Katie applauded for me and switched places. As I started to walk over to Annabeth's shocked body, the band started to play.

"Some call it faith, some call it love. Some call it guidance from above. You are the reason we found ours, so thankyou stars."

The song was just right for this moment. The moment Annabeth found out how I feel. I grabbed her waist and pulled her against my chest and slowly rocked her. I didn't feel like talking, I just wanted to dance and hear her breathing. Grabbing her left hand, I twirled her. She finally smiled! I placed my chin on the top of her head and whispered into her hair, "Annabeth I know we are best friends, but I can't have helped, but to fall in love with your soul."

"If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs. Sometimes I believe in fate, but the chances we create, always seem to ring more true. You took a chance on loving me; I took a chance on loving you."

Quietly she replied, "Oh Percy I was hoping you would say that."

I pulled her tighter. "Really?"

She pulled to me even tighter, but no reply. Does she not love me after all?

Curious I asked, "Don't you love me Annabeth?"

Ignoring my question she continued to silently sway her body against mine.

The blood in my system started to ring in my ears. I felt like my heart was about to explode in my chest. She doesn't love me! What am I supposed to do now?

I whispered, "Annabeth we should go. We got tests tomorrow and should study."

Annabeth looked at my face and walked away.

The ride back was quiet and awkward. When we got out of the car, we went separate ways back to our dorms. Jason was alone sitting on the couch watching a movie, when he saw me.

He beamed, "So how did it go?"

I huffed, "Terrible. She doesn't love me."

"How do you know? Did she tell you herself?"

I cried, "No, but she didn't reply either. Couldn't even look at me. I'm going to bed. Wake me up when dinner is ready."

Worried Jason replied, "Sure. Don't beat yourself up for this. There's still hope."

If only I could believe that so easily as he does.

RING! RING!

An annoying noise awoke me from my sleep. I looked at my clock. 5.16pm. I only got two hours of sleep. I grabbed my phone and answered my call.

"Hello?"

"Hi Percy. Did I wake you up? I can call later."

I shot up quickly from my bed and leaned my back against the bed head.

"Annabeth, hi. Its ok. What do you want?"

"I wanted to say sorry about before. I should not have ignored you; I was just in shock that's all. That was incredibly sweet of you to write a song for me. I didn't reply, not because I don't love you, but because Nico. If I said the words I would feel like I was cheating on him. When we were dancing, I felt such a connection that I don't have with Nico, and that's why I broke up with him an hour ago. It was hard, but I had to do it."

"Anna…beth."

"You don't have to say anything. Percy I am willing to try something with you. I just don't want to lose you over this. Go on a date with me this weekend."

"Hold on, are you asking me out?"

"That's what I said Kelp Head. Forget Nico please."

"Fine. I'll pick you up on Sunday at 3.00pm. Leave the planning to me."

"Ok. I am sorry Percy; I just need time before I say the words back."

"Its fine, I understand. A date with you is more than enough."

"Ok. I have to go, Piper needs the phone. She says hi."

"Hi back. Bye Annie."

"Bye Perseus."

Ending the call, I jumped out of bed and raced to the couch, where Jason was still slouch on.

I shrieked, "Guess what?"

Startled Jason turned his attention to me.

"Calm down! What?"

"I'm going on a date with Annabeth this weekend!"

Jason jumped off the couch and slapped my back.

"I told you so. I'm so happy for you two!"

I fist bumped his knuckles and grabbed the take away menu.

"To celebrate I am ordering pizza. Choose a movie. I'll call Leo over."

That night we watched 'Due Date' and celebrated. I can't wait for my date in three days!
