I sat in the back of the Rolls Royce. I let out a slow puff of smoke getting rid of my almost gone cigarette out the window and lighting up a new one. I was going back to the house from taking a drive around New York. Having nothing to do there I never left the car I just had my driver Charlie drive in a mindless labyrinth of roads for a while letting each cigarette burn to a stub flicking it out the window and lighting a new one. I knew it was a bad habit, I had just picked it up within the past 7 years but I could never die. My immortal lungs felt no harm to smoke filing them. So I had as many as I wanted.

I watched the water of the Atlantic as we drove down the road. The sound had a mist laying over the top but still was beautiful. I looked to the empty seat on my right and grabbed the news paper on it. September, 4 2073. I sighed flipping through the mindless articles. All that was in the news now was about the fall of the American economy. About 3 years ago the Economy was striving. But one day that all changed, Americans were thrown into chaos and now people were either living in poverty or extreme riches. Percy and I had been smart a while back and invested wisely so we were fine but all you saw in the papers now were false hopes of the economy rising soon even though everyone knew that we would not see that for a while.

I sighed throwing the paper into the empty seat as we pulled up to the large gates a cursive J written in the metal bars keeping us away from the world. Charlie pulled out around front opening my door to let me out I thanked him and walked inside.

The cold marble floor echoed as I walked into the house, butlers and maids walking around the house cleaning it. I placed my coat on a chair and headed up the stairs each step echoing in the large house.

I walked into mine and Percy's room headed to the back where my closet was. I opened the double doors to the large two story closet. In the middle of the first floor was a table, I put my gloves on that and then headed up the spiral staircase to the second floor which overlooked the first. I pealed off each piece of clothing as I walked along the built ins. I ran my fingers along my self of silk robes and then grabbed my favorite blue silk robe I tied it around me. I then grabbed a silk scarf tying it into my hair.

I walked down the stairs and out of the closet the cool floors feeling colder without shoes. I saw the house manager Will.

"Hello Mrs. Jackson, How was your drive in the city?" He asked.

"Fine thank you, have you seen my husband?" I asked.

"In his study I believe m'am." Will said and I thanked him going down the stairs to the first floor.

I walked through the living room and kitchen then to the large mahogany doors of Percy's study I opened the doors. The entire study was a beautiful mahogany from the desk to the built-ins. Now don't get confused Percy doesn't actually do work in here, he mostly sits at his desk on the ipad 6 and occasionally flips through books.

He was sitting at his desk feet up looking at some maps. I laid on one of the leather sofas, my elbow resting on the arm rest hand propping up my head on my temple.

"How was the city doll?" Percy asked looking up at me.

"Busy as usual." I said.

"Well at least it's consistent." He said getting up to grab another map from a shelf. He wore tan dress pants and a white button up, his tie lay forgotten on his desk.

I got up walking to a book built in. I ran my finger along the spines of the books till it landed on one I pulled it out and flipped to a page. It was a photo album. It was a picture of Brady in a height chair with me cleaning cheerios off his face.

I closed the book placing it back in the shelf. A lone tear rolled down my face but I brushed it off quickly before Percy saw. How old were my kids now? In the there 60s? Gods I missed them.

I sat down on the couch again. I felt like the world was closing in on me. I was drowning on land. How much longer could I do this? I must have had a troubled look on my face cause Percy set down the maps and came over and held me I put my head on his chest.

"What do we do now?" I asked him.

"What do you mean love?" He asked stroking my hair.

"This." I said getting up quickly leaving him on the couch.

"This life." I said motioning around the room.

"Were all alone in this big house with no one else." I said still standing and him still sitting.

"Our kids our grandparents, our friends are great grandparent if not dead, and neither of our parents are alive." I told him us still in the same positions.

"We can't have any mortal friends cause then we would have to tell them our secret." I said voice breaking.

"And gods forbid we have anymore kids now cause they will just grow up and we'll have to leave again."

"And it's just going to be you and me alone in this house forever." He stayed silent.

"You seriously can't be okay with that." I said.

He stood up quickly grabbing me by the arms.

"Then tell me what you want I'll give you the world I want you just to be happy." he said sadness in his eyes.

Tears brimmed my eyes. "That's the thing there is nothing you can do."

"This is my fault." He said letting go of me pacing running his finger through his hair, "I should've never made you immortal too, that was my burden to bear not yours and I dragged you down with me."

"You didn't drag me down I agreed, I'm the one who drank the potion." I reminded him.

"But your unhappy. " He stopped pacing and looked at me.

"And you aren't?" I asked him.

"I am but...I don't know what to do Annabeth." He told me the look of complete hopelessness on his face.

"I don't either." I whispered.

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

I threw some rocks up at your window

I broke some rocks right through your window
