I fell to the ground sobbing. The world was caving in on me. Each wall was breaking down until it would cover me in rubble. It was over, me and Percy, he hadn't had any explanation he just came into our apartment looking somber. He had told me we couldn't be together that he never wanted to see me again. That he didn't love me. I told him I loved, that I needed him. He wouldn't meet my eyes he just said he was sorry and walked out of the apartment without another word.
I fell to the cold wood floors right there in the entryway with sadness flooding into my system. When the whole situation became real to me that's when I became overwhelmed and started balling.
I laid there for gods know how long when I finally was able to sustain my crying to a slow heartbroken cry.
I walked into the bathroom to be greeted by a red eyed and water streaked cheeks of a broken heart girl.
I turned on the water and it streamed out of the faucet. I cupped my hands below the stream of clear, cold water and lifted it to throw it onto my face. I took a towel from the shower rack and dried off my face. I opened the medicine cabinet next to me and shuffled through multi colored pill bottles looking for the Advil to stop the fas approaching headache. I found the white bottle in the back of the cabinet and opened and poured out the pink spheres. I put one in my mouth and leaned down to fill my mouth with water. The cold water touched my lips and the pink pill slid down my throat. I felt immediate relief. I looked at the pill bottle temping me.
"End it all." I whispered to myself. I hesitated for a second but then gave in to my inner devil.
"No reason to live without him." I told myself swallowing the pills one by one until the bottle lay empty and forgotten on the ground. Nothing happened but then my throat started to get hot. I got a bottle of water from the fridge and started to drink. It didn't help though my throat felt like it was on fire. I grabbed my throat chocking. I walked into the bedroom Percy and I share...well did and was I was coughing and chocking. My chest felt like it would explode for the pressure it was under. I leaned over putting on the bed trying to gain balance and some eye sight. I was sobbing again and I hit the floor with a loud thud. I was laying on my side sobbing until darkness over took me and the pain subsided.
Thalia's POV
It was a breezy day in New York. I was walking with Nico to the Todd English Food Hall for lunch when I saw a man with familiar black hair and tan skin. His eyes would have been familiar too if they wouldn't have been red and puffy and had tears stained on his tan cheeks.
"Hey Perce what's wrong" I asked generally concerned because I have never seen him like this.
Percy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Athena Made me break up with Annabeth." He said fresh tears threatening to fall from his sea green eyes.
"Why?" Nico said with concern in his voice.
"That's it I don't know." He said frustration evident in his voice.
Just then a puff of smoke appeared and we all heard look away.
I shut my eyes to avoid being burnt to a crisp. In front of me stood Athena and Aphrodite. Aphrodite looked like she was buzzing with caffeine.
"Congrats you've passed!" Aphrodite squealed throwing her arms around Percy in a hug.
"Passed what?" Percy said with scrunched eyebrows.
"The LOOOOOVVVEE test silly." Aphrodite siad like it was the most ovious thing ever.
"And that is?" Percy said waiting for her to continue.
"You respected me enough to listen to what I told you when I told you to dump my daughter, I now Approve of your relationship." Athena explained.
"Wait really?" Percy said excitement in his voice.
"GO GET HER!" Aphrodite yelled as the three of us walked away.
**************************************LINE BREAK***********************************************
We arrived at the apartment within 10 minutes and walked through the front door. It was eerily silent. Percy got a confused look on his face. "Annabeth." He yelled out. No response came.
"Maybe she's in the bathroom." Percy said confident as we walked into the bathroom to find it empty.
"What's this?" Nico said lifting up a bottle of Advil on the ground in the corner. He tipped it over and nothing came out the open top. "Empty"
"There's no way," Percy said taking the bottle from Nico and looking inside and shaking it."I just bought this last week. That's when I saw a hand. out of the corner of my eye through the door way into Percy and Annabeth's bedroom. I walk towards the door slowly taking Agis our with a small dagger I keep with me for emergencies. I gave Nico and Percy the be quite look and trying to form a plan of attack on the monster with eye contact. I pushed open the door with my shield and dagger at a ready to find a blond curly haired women lay sprawled on the floor. Tears had stained her cheeks and one arm was above her head the other grasping her neck. I fell to the ground on my knees and the empty pill bottle made sense. Annabeth had overdosed on Advil after Percy left.
That's when I saw Percy's face and I had never felt more horrible in my entire life my best friend had been taken from me and Percy's soulmate. He ran to her in on swift motion cradling her cold self tears openly flowing from his eyes falling onto her pale face.
"Someone call for help!" Percy said not taking his eyes off her. Nico and I didn't move from sadness and sock. "I said someone call for HELP!" HE said with more force. Nico took his iPhone out of his pocket and called 911.
Percy's POV
3 hours. That's how long I have been sitting in this chair waiting for news that she was okay. That she would walk out of here with me with a smile on her face.
All our friends showed up along with their encouraging words. Carter started Heartbrokenly sobbing about 30 minutes ago but Max got her out of here because I couldn't take hearing that. Thalia had to be taken some where else because she was starting to have anxiety and panic attacks. So basically it was hell.
Another 2 hours passed my friends spread out among the waiting room waiting for any new carter had come back about 15 minutes ago after she could get herself under control but Thalia was still MIA. No matter what my friends said to me I didn't respond I couldn't not without her.
She was my Wisegirl. My dictionary. My eye roller. My chaperone. My snuggle buddy. My Disney movie partner. My ray sunshine on rainy days. The most beautiful women ever. She was my best friend. My soulmate. She was my everything.
It felt like an eternity before the doctor came out. "Annabeth Chase's family." The doctor called out. About everyone in the waiting room stood.
"Okay is family here?" he asked trying to narrow down the people.
"There's no family here they are in California but I'm her boyfriend." I told the doctor just wanting news.
"Do you want to see her?" The doctor asked me with a smile.
I let out I breath I didn't know I was holding. "yes please." I said following the doctor back. My friends stayed out in the lobby knowing that they would get their turn.
I followed the doctor down a labyrinth of white, plain hallways till we came across a room with Chase, Annabeth written on the whiteboard on the door. I walked in to see my beautiful angle sitting there in the white hospital gown but never the less looking stunning. I ran to her hugging her. She stiffened from my hug. I pulled back.
"I thought you and me were done." She said skeptical.
"I could never leave you." I leaned over and kissed her and she returned gratefully.
I told her everything that happened with Athena and Aphrodite and she understood she was just happy to have me and I was happy to see her again. My sweet Wisegirl was okay and that's all that mattered.

Well where did that come from...I promise I haven't tried suicide and i'm not planning it anytime soon. And with the scene with Annabeth after she took the pills like dyeing again i've never tried suicide so I have no idea if that's accurate on what happens but I just guessed.
