The Wedding (AU)

'I didn't know if I had the courage to do this' I said to myself as my father and I walked down the aisle 'I love him yes but I'm nineteen!' I argued with myself. Back when I was five I met the man I'm marrying today, Percy Jackson. When I think back to how we met I chuckle.

It was a sunny day and I saw a moving truck pull up next door to my house, peering over at the next garden I smile seeing someone my age. "Hi" I whispered before hiding. The boy looked over walking around to where I was "Hi, I-I'm Percy" He greeted.

"Annabeth" I say standing holding out my hand to him. He was taller than I am with black hair. I giggled a little when he shook my hand.

Now as I look at the man before me sixteen years later, he hasn't changed much. Same hair, same eyes even the same smile. He still manages to make me laugh every time I see him he just makes me happy especially when I'm down like when I was being bullied.

I was sat in my closet sobbing hugging my knees to my chest. I had glasses and braces so I was an easy target for people to pick on. I was only ten at the time and was hugging a stuffed toy Percy got me for my birthday four years earlier, I called him Seaweed Brain because that's what Percy's nickname is from me because he's dumb and his eyes are sea green. Still sobbing I feel someone pick me up and carry me to bed. It was Percy. "Percy put me down" I said though snuggled into him.

"No, you're my best friend and you know I hate seeing you like this. Luke's gone too far with you and Thalia" He stated. Thalia was my best friend and she had a crush on my older brother. He lay me down and lay with me "Me and your brother are going to talk to them okay? You know what they're like when it comes to you" I nodded resting my head on his chest as he played with my hair knowing that it calmed me. The next thing I remember was waking up to a camera taking a picture of us.

That's what got us together in fact. That day he asked me out and today is our ninth anniversary. I smile once I reach him and hug him while he kissed my hand. "You look beautiful" Percy whispered causing me to blush like usual.

"You look handsome" I smile more. Another hour and we were married and on our way to the wedding do and the rest of our lives together.
