Percy's POV:

Well, how to describe my dinner with the Chase family? It was hell. And believe me, I have been there and that dinner was worse. Not for me, but for Annabeth.

As we arrived, Mrs. Chase was serving the pasta. It looked good. We sat down and waited for the twins to come down. When they did seconds later, we started eating. It was an uncomfortable moment because nobody spoke but suddenly, one of the twins (who I lately discovered was Bobby) spoke up:

"How long have you known each other?" he asked innocently.

"Since we were twelve." Annabeth answered before I could.

"And did you know Annabeth's last boyfriend?" Matthew asked and my I looked at him in awe.

"Last what?" my eyes were wide.

"Luke was not my boyfriend. He was my friend."

"Whatever you say, Annabeth. Did we tell you that she moved to New York because…"

"Because I wanted to go to a proper school and supervise Olympus. Yeah he already knew that." Annabeth interrupted her younger brother.

"Don't lie, sister. You left San Francisco and moved to New York because you missed your boyfriend."

"Shut up!"

"Annabeth, don't be rude." Her father told her.

"If you tell me not to be rude, tell them to stop talking about my personal life." My girlfriend defended herself.

"They are kids, Annabeth. They are like that."

"Dad, it's my life they are talking about. My life and my boyfriend, tell them to shut their…"

"Enough, Annabeth!" Mr. Chase had the final word and her daughter continued to eat, but with a death look on her eyes.

"Percy," Matthew looked at me "can I ask you one last question?"

"Of course you can."

"How much money did she give you to be your girlfriend?"

"What?" I couldn't believe my ears.

"Matthew! Be polite!" Mrs. Chase told her son.

"Enough," Annabeth said as she threw her napkin on the table "I'm out of here."

She got up and left the dining room, angry and sad at the same time. I excused myself and followed her up to her room. She closed the door and hit my nose, but I didn't care.

"Annabeth open the door." I said softly and I could hear her crying inside "Please open Annabeth. I won't make fun of you, I just want to help."

I stayed there for like twenty minutes until I decided that if she didn't open the door, I should open it. I did, and I saw her lying down, with her face between two pillows, crying. I approached her and sat down. I put a hand on her back. When her cries soften I helped her up and sat her on my lap. She buried her face in my neck and continued crying. I held her and kissed her hair a few times.

"Annabeth," I said, breathing the smell of her lemon shampoo "you have to calm down, or it'll be worse."

"I hate them. I really do." She whispered.

"They are your family. We both know that as mad as they can make you, you don't hate them."

"Percy," she lift her head up, but didn't look at me "they are not my family. Chiron is m family, Thalia is my family, Camp Half-Blood is my family, and you are my family, too. These are the people I live with; everyone I had named was there when I needed them. That's a family. I don't care if Frederick Chase is my real father or not, he wasn't there for me like other people were."

"I understand you, I really do, but what happened down there wasn't your fault. Your brothers are still kids, and kids do that kind of jokes."

"I don't know why I was so excited about coming. I always end up like this."

"You wanted to come because you know you love them."

She finally looked into my eyes and made our foreheads touch "I love you more than anyone in this world."

"Annabeth…"

"You know it's true."

"Yes, the best part is that I know it is."

After that, I kissed her. I had the same feeling she had. She was the best thing that could ever happen to me and I couldn't imagine my life without her. We broke apart as there was a knock on the door.

"Percy," a kid's voice said behind it "can we talk with you?"

I looked at Annabeth and she mouthed 'Go'. I kissed her cheek and left the room, closing the door behind me. The twins were standing in front of me.

"What's up buddies?" I asked, trying hard not to kill them because they had made Annabeth cry.

"We don't hate her." Bobby said "We really don't."

"We are just… jealous of her." Matthew admitted.

"Why would you be jealous of your sister?"

"She has the best life. She is a demigod, she has adventures and she can fight with swords. She has everything."

"So, basically, you want to be a demigod, had adventures and learn to fight with a sword?"

"Yes"

"That's why you make her suffer?"

"Well, not suffer, but bother her."

"I have an idea, but you'll have to promise me something."

"Whatever."

"I will tell you everything about my adventures and teach you how to fight with my sword if you apologize with Annabeth and swear you won't bother her like that again."

"You have your own sword?! And you will tell us your adventures?!"

"Yes, I…" I didn't finish my sentence. They ran into the room to apologize with Annabeth. I didn't know I was getting in big trouble.
