A/n: A heart is beautiful even when it bleeds. For a heart will always hold love, and love is alway beautiful. You could say a girl is beautiful, cute, hot and pretty, but the one I love is neither of those, she is Perfection.
Chapter 28
Never say goodbye please, I want to be with you. *crrying* I love you please stay. Why, why, why, are you leaving me?
A cafe a few days later
Poseidon was talking to a pretty looking blonde but his tricks didn't work. Either all the girls he had been trying to pick up are blind or Aphrodite's pay back for screwing a relationship was in action. He sat at a table close to the store window looking out onto the street. He sighed as he saw the most beautiful woman walk into the cafe and take a seat across from him. " I hope you can surive a entire eon without another girl other then your wife." Aphrodite said softly so only he could hear.
" Leave me alone Aphrodite." the sea god groaned at the thought of an entire eon without you know what.
" Ha like you shouldn't have messed with my domain of mortals?" Aphrodite retorted with pure, agonizing venom.
" He is my son so I can intervene whenever I want to." Posiedon stated in a matter of fact way.
" I hope you can surive a eon without your 'fun'." Aphrodite said smiling. " You can either deal with that or be neutered." Posiedon gasped at the last statement.
" I'll rather take the first option." Posiedon said growling at losing to Aphrodite of all gods.
" I'll take my leave, goodbye." with that Aphrodite left the cafe. Stupid Apollo thought Posiedon.
My POV at camp Half-blood
I was listening to music on my phone. ( 97% of the songs on my phone would make a good break up playlist.) I toke out my ear phones when I saw Thalia and Nico looking at me wide eyed. " Who are you?" Nico asked.
" No one special though you two are a great couple." I said walking past them but Thalia put a hand on my shoulder.
" Who are you?" Thalia said with killer intent in her steel hard glare.
" I am no one special so I'll be on my way." I said putting my earphones back on. Thalia kicked me on the back. I ignored it and kept on walking as she and Nico kept following me around. I was going to go to the hill where Percy and Artemis had shared a kiss at, for a front row seat to see what was gonna happen next, but I couldn't with the Thalico couple on my tail.
third person POV
Austin walked around with Thalia and Nico on his tail. But they lost him once Lady Artemis appeared. She was depressed. You could only see it in her eyes. She looked like her world had come down on her. She was about to do something that was going to hurt her so much but was gonna make Percy happy or so she thought. She felt like crying, crying her entire self out. Thalia had tried to figure out what was bothering her, but to no success. Nico was the useless one at that moment and it hurt him, for he couldn't help his girlfriends sister out. Artemis went on with her mission to find Percy. She hadn't told anyone but Lindsay about what she was about to do. Lindsay tried with all her secrets, favors and even blackmail Artemis from doing this. But what Posiedon had told and shown her was what finally drew her to what she was doing now.
Flash back two and half hours ago
If I'm gonna spend an entire eon without any 'fun' then I'll break them up quickly, Posiedon had thought. He of course had gotten hermes to do some things without knowing what he was doing for him. He had known Percy's dream, and he was going to use it to his advatange. Hermes had gotten some paper works on Percy forged of course. When he had all that he needed to play Artemis's love against her. He smiled as he asked Hermes where she was. After being told where she was he teleported there instantly. " Artemis, I have something to discuss with you about." the sea god said as Artemis turned from her hunters to the god at the edge of their camp. He was smiling. Artemis knew Posiedon was against her and Percy and her relationship but she couldn't just ignore him.
" In a minute Posiedon." Artemis said glaring at the sea god. Artemis ruffled the hunter's hair and gave her a warm smile. The little girls saw Artemis as their mother figure when they entered the Hunt. " Go on and play with the other Hunters Hannah." Artemis walked over to the other god as Hannah ran over to the group of Hunters on the other end of the camp. " What is it Posiedon." Artemis snapped.
" I came here to say congrats on hurting or shall I say crippling my son." Posiedon said expressionless.
" wha?" Artemis asked stunned.
" You haven't noticed life span diffrence. You will live forever as long as we aren't overthrown while my son will die eventaully. Can't you see, doesn't he deserve someone who will age with him? Some one he can actually be with for the rest of his life with as in someone he can always count on being there for him. Don't say anything cause you will be with the hunt at times for days maybe months or years. Percy doesn't have that luxary as he still has his mortal friends and family. So are you willing to hurt him like this?" Posiedon questioned.
" I'm sure he understands that he understands me being with my hunters. Although he will die from old age, unless he becomes a god he will be the only man I will ever love. And I know he can very well do better then me, and he truely deserves a woman who will age with him. It is up to him." Artemis stated feeling sweat on her forehead.
" I see but you will hurt him so very much with those acts. Do you know that since you two started getting closer earlier this year he has done worse in college?" Posiedon said showing her Percy's grades. Percy's dean was a demigod so naturally he would understand Hermes request but Posiedon had modifed the letter grades. " He'll have to work harder to reach his dream. He might never reach it."
" I... I... I'll think about it." was all Artemis could respond.
" I'll leave you." Posiedon said faking a sad frown and vanishing.
Persent time though Artemis and Percy are on the hill they shared their first kissed together.
" Artemis why did you take me up here?" Percy asked as he held her hand.
" Percy I have something to tell you." Artemis said. Those words brought tears to Percy's eyes. No not again, not with Artemis I love her too much Percy thought to himself.
" Why are you breaking up with me Artemis?" Percy questioned.
" Because its for the better." Artemis said hugging Percy. Percy let out his tears, oh how Artemis felt like dying seeing him like this. " I'm so sorry Percy. It's not you Percy it's me." ( Dumb line I know, but its just so fun to put in here. :P) " I'm sorry for playing with you like this Percy, you deserve the woman of your dreams. And I know I'm not her... And I just want you to be happy."
"Why tell me the real reasons why your leaving me?" Percy asked again, but Artemis had already vanished from his arms. Percy's knees finally couldn't hold him up anymore and he fell to the ground in agony. Percy stayed laying on the ground till Grover found him. Percy was out of it, he didn't respond to Grovers words or any ones. Grover toke him to his cabin and laid him to sleep. Though Percy didn't get any sleep. He got up even before Nico did and sat at the bottom of the lake for the morning even breakfeast. After he knew it was around noon he got out and began lashing out on anyone who wanted to sparr with him. Even Clarrise was scared of him. He scowled at the sight of what he was doing. He was hurting other campers and they didn't deserve to bare the brunt of his emotions. After beating Nico which was by a land slide as Nico was thinking it was going to be a relaxing little sparr, he decided to go to see and demand her to tell him why. He had already gotten permission to leave camp not that he would care if he had it or not. When he reached the empire state building he didn't even care for the clerk. He went into the elevator and hit the the floor number so hard that if it wasn't magical it would have broke. He was listening to you are my sunshine. He chuckled at that moment. Then it switched to Whiskey Lullaby. He felt like he could relate to the song as the elevator reached the desired floor and he walked out. He was sadden as he saw Athena talking to Hermes. Ares screaming at Apollo for doing something to his swords about being replaced with bows. Zeus was giving a Percy a look of remorse. He walked towards Artemis's palace. He saw the silver walled Palace and sighed. He saw a few of Artemis's stags run across the front lawn or yard whatever you want to call it. He saw the large forset of the back yard. He opened the gate and began to walk towards the front doors. When he reached the doors he knocked five times. After what was about fifteen mintues there he gave up and left for the elevator. Little did he know Artemis was leaning her back against the doors. She was crying, she stood up and looked out her window to see Percy walk away. " I'm sorry Percy." Artemis whisptered as Percy kept on walking away from her. She placed her hands on the window in a crazed attempt to touch him. " I love you." was all she could say before she went back trying to control herself.
Posiedon's sea palace
Posiedon was so oh happy knowing about the recently destoried relationship. But his wife had been avoiding him as well as his son. It seems like Aphrodite is spreading what I have been doing to those close to me, Posiedon said eyeing the way he was being given the cold shoulder.
NEXT TIME: " Forget her Percy you have me again." she said softly in his embrace. Percy couldn't bring himself to forget her, she was all he ever wanted. Percy just pulled away...
