Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Percy's POV
When I arrived at the Big House, I saw Annabeth and Mark. If you are wondering who Mark is, he is a son of Hephaestus. He and his siblings are helping with the ongoing renovation of Olympus. Mark is a flirt and I now he has a thing for Annabeth. Don't get me wrong I know Annabeth is faithful to me and she made it clear to Mark that we are dating but I just don't trust the guy. I can't do anything about it though. They need work together. I know your probably thinking I am just jealous. I admit it. I just love her so much and I am just afraid that she'll dump me for somebody else.
As I was getting closer, I noticed Mark is too close to Annabeth. My anger rise to another boiling point. He's trying to make a move again on Annabeth. I can tell she is not comfortable but she's way too occupied with whatever she's doing to make a move about it. "Annabeth!" I called to her. She automatically look at me. "Hey Seaweed Brain!" she said. I saw Mark and saw the disgusted look at his face. I glared at him and stand beside Annabeth. "I've been trying to find you for the past hour." I told her. "I had been busy with these blueprints. Ares is giving a headache, he keeps bugging me with the designs." She replied without looking at me. I noticed that she isn't paying me much attention. Anger is definitely filling me now. "Where were you this lunch?" I asked her. "I told you I've been busy." She said.
"You broke your promise." I said. "What promise?" she asked looking at me. "I can't believe it. You totally forgotten!" I snapped at her. "What are you talking about?" she asked again. "Remember last night when I talked to you? You promise me that you'll spend time with me this lunch." I said. "Oh? I am sorry Percy, I totally forgot. It's just that there is so much work to do. I hope you understand. There is still next time." She said that while holding my hand. I didn't reply I am slowly processing what she has said. I saw Mark grinning like an idiot. Anytime now I can burst and it is now going to be ugly. She let go of my hand and she immediately turn her attention on the blueprints. I am not letting go this time again, not after these past few weeks that she rarely spend time with me and now even for this special day she still chose to work. "There will be no next time." I said with clenched teeth. "What?" she asked looking at me once again. "I said we do this right now, I need you to come with me."I ordered. "Percy, you know I can't" she said looking a bit annoyed. "I am not taking no for an answer." I answered. I am just too angry to care that I didn't think that she'll be mad at what am I doing. "Are you serious? What's gotten in to you? What part of I am busy that you are not getting?" she snapped.
I can see that some campers are noticing our little act. But I don't care. I am mad right now knowing that she did forget what day it is. "How can you forget?!" I said this time with higher voice. "Gods Percy! Just let it go, I will talk to you later." She said signaling that it is the end of our discussion. "We need to talk about this right now." I said. "What is wrong with you?" She is now yelling at me. "I need you to come with me." I said and hold her hand and trying to drag her away. "Let go of me!" Annabeth said. As if on cue, Mark decided to play hero and stand in our way. "You heard her man. Let her go." He said. "Mind your own business!" I spat at him. "She don't want to go with you! Why don't you get it? Is that too much for your kelp head?" he said. I let go of Annabeth hands and clenched my fist. "Mark! You.."It was Annabeth, but before she can finish what she is going to say, I already punch him in the face. After I hit him he tackled me to the ground but before he can punch me I throw him away from me. Remember I have still my Achilles heel. Before I can throw another punch at him Grover got in the way. "Percy! Stop man." He said. Annabeth run to my side. What are you doing?!" She yelled at me. I am now clouded with my emotions, it was too much for me to handle. I thought she's taking Mark's side instead of me. I pushed Grover aside and walked away. I heard them calling my name. I don't give a damn anymore. I run towards my cabin. I got my backpack, and when I am finished packing I headed towards the beach where Thalia is.
Third Person POV
Annabeth and Grover tried to call Percy but he didn't bother to turn around he just kept walking away. And then they heard Mark's groan. They went to his side. "Are you OK?" Annabeth asked. "A little bit dizzy and my back hurts." He complained. "What the hell are you thinking anyway? Getting in the middle of our fight. " Annabeth exclaimed. "I am just rying to help you know." Mark replied. "What's wrong with him anyway?" Annabeth asked Grover. "I'll go talk to him." She said. "No, stays here with Mark bring him to the infirmary and I'll go talk to Percy." Grover said. "But.." Annabeth complained. Before she can say anything else Grover started to walk away to find Percy.
Percy's POV
I was walking towards the beach I can see Thalia now but Nico is also there. Before they can notice me, I called Thalia. "Thalia!" I yelled. As soon as they saw me they run towards me. As they were approaching I can tell they sense that something is wrong. "Where have you been? And where is Annabeth?" she asked. Instead of answering her question, I reached out for my pocket and handed her my present to Annabeth. "Please give it to her." I said. "What's going on man? And you look like you are going to kill someone. Is everything Ok?" It was Nico. I didn't bother answering any of their questions. "Just give it to her will you?" I asked once again. "Why don't you give it to her instead?" Thalia asked. "And why are you carrying your bag pack? Are you going somewhere?" Nico noticed. Before they bombarded me with many more questions, I turn around and start to run. They were calling my name and following me. I decided to jump on to the beach so they can't catch me. Before I submerged to the bottom, I can still hear them calling my name.
