A/N: Warning: SWEARING AND ALCOHOL content.. Also as i mentioned before characters are OC

ANNABETH POV:
We rode in silence as I maintained my grip around his waist. As I leant into him I couldn't help but notice how good he smelt. He smelt of Irish spring and ocean spray. I got to tell you, it did wonders on my first impression on him.

"Annabeth?" Percy called out as he pulled up to a red stop light.

"Uh yea?" I asked raising my head to look him in the eyes.

"You hungry?" he asked.

"Uh, kinda. Why?" I replied. The truth was I was starving. Airplane food and I just didn't end to well. So I guess the last time I ate was that sandwich I made for lunch.

"No reason. So do you want fast food or what?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter"

"Okay" he said as he turned around waiting for the light to turn green.

I wrapped my arms around his waist again and leaned back into him.

After another 5 minutes he pulled up to a restaurant named Olympus.

I quickly pulled the helmet off and stumbled off of the bike.

"Whoa there blondie" he said as helped me regain my balance.

"Thanks" I said as we walked into the restaurant.

He held open the door for me and we walked in.

"Hello, welcome to Olympus! Table for two?"

"Yes" Percy replied.

The waitress with short black hair brought us to a booth towards the back of the restaurant that over looked the beautiful city.

I slid in and couldn't help but admire the view.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Percy whispered as he slid in next to me.

"It is" I replied as I finally turned around to look at him.

"Uh, why didn't you sit on the other side?" I asked bluntly.

"What you don't want me to sit by you?" he joked clutching his heart.

"That hurts Anna. To think I thought we had a spark back there" he whispered leaning closer to me.

I could feel my face heat up at his comment. I decided to just wave it off.

"Um, I didn't say that… It's just there's so much room so you could have sat there" I said pointing to the other side of the booth.

"Well what if I told you I wanted to sit by you?" he smirked.

I playfully pushed him.

"You are such a flirt" I replied shaking my head.

"Only for you" he smiled cheekily.

"Plus, we have company coming" he added looking towards the door.

"Oh really? Who may I ask?" I asked looking at the door.

"You'll just have to wait and see now won't you?" he said as he picked up the menu.

"I guess" I replied scanning over the menu I held in my own hands.

After I had my internal battle of what to eat I finally decided.

I ordered a Heineken and the Olympus signature burger while Percy ordered the Poseidon special with a glass of water.

As soon as the waitress left Percy spoke.

"You know drinking is bad for you"

"Yea I know. But it still doesn't stop me from drinking" I replied as I looked outside.

The truth was I never used to drink. But I found that alcohol was the only thing that could keep my pain away. The pain of the past. Just thinking about it put me on the edge. I felt like I was on the verge of breaking.

"Heineken and Water" the waitress said as she set both drinks in front of us.

I quickly wiped my stray tears away and grabbed the green bottle.

I immediately took a swig and drank half of it before I put it down.

I let out a sigh and closed my eyes.

"Anna, are you okay?" Percy asked. I looked at him and he seemed as if he has been observing me for a while.

I quickly opened my eyes, "Uh yea" I replied.

"Are you sure?" he asked moving a strand of hair out of my face and behind my ear.

"Yea" I breathed out.

"You know. I'm your brother's best friend so you really can trust me" he smiled.

"I know" I replied looking down at my hands.

He seemed to be really genuine and caring. I wonder if my brother told him what happened.

"So… What's up with my brother?" I asked looking at him again.

"He had to go pick someone up from the hospital" Percy whispered as he took a sip of his water.

He sort of tensed up and avoided looking into my eyes.

There must be something more to this person.

"Really? I hope everything's fine"

"Uh yea. She's fine"

"Who's she?"

"Uh, I don't think it's my place to say"

"Why not?"

"Maybe you should wait until your brother gets here"

"So my brother's coming?"

"Dammit… Uh yea"

"So basically he didn't pick me up because he had to pick up some girl from the hospital?"

"Basically" Percy said as he took another sip of his water.

I drank the rest of my beer and the waitress came and replaced it with another.

"I think you should slow down a little" Percy said as he placed his hand over my own as I reached for the beer.

"I'm old enough to make my own choices" I snapped. I didn't mean to be as cruel as I sounded but the way he told me to slow down reminded me of my ex. The ex who backstabbed me with my best friend.

"Uh sorry… I didn't mean to snap like that" I replied shyly pulling my hand away from his.

"It's fine… I… I just don't like alcohol" he said as he began to rub the back of his neck.

"Uh why?" I asked.

"Just… some bad memories I guess" he replied.

"Oh… Sorry" I said looking back at the beer bottle. Maybe he was right. Maybe I should stop.

The door chimed and I quickly turned my attention to the door.

Immediately I saw my brother and everything seemed to fade away. I perked up as I saw him smiling at me. He held one of his hands behind leading someone over to the table.

I moved my head a little to see who it was but I couldn't see her face. All I know is she had straight jet black hair.

"Who's that behind Ry?" I asked facing Percy.

Before Percy could answer I saw. My smiled immediately faded away as I took in her appearance.

"Reyna" I whispered.

Oh hell no. I thought that bitch was long gone.

I grabbed my beer and chugged down the entire bottle then asked Percy to let me out.

He nodded and let me out before my brother and the bitch came to the table.

"Annabeth! It's so good to see you" Ryan said as he brought me into a hug.

I just stood there as I glared behind him at Reyna. She didn't even bother to look up at me. She probably knew that I was mentally beating the crap out of her.

"What the hell is she doing here Ry?" I asked pulling away from his hug.

"Abe, I know what you're thinking. But she's changed." He quickly replied.

"Oh really. Isn't that what she told you last time." I replied coldly raising my eyebrow.

"Abe. Trust me. We're good now" he said gripping my hands.

"That's a bunch of BS! I can't believe it Ry. After all she's put you thorough. I thought you'd be smarter than this" I replied shaking my head and making my way towards the door.

"Abe wait!" Ryan called out.

But I didn't stop until I was outside. I looked around and saw a liquor store across the street. Perfect, just what I needed.

I quickly ran across the street and bought a bottle of honey whiskey.

As soon as I walked out of the store with the brown paper bag in hand I walked back to the restaurant. Percy was outside shouting my name.

He noticed me and rushed over.

"Annabeth? What the hell! Why'd you leave!?" he yelled.

I couldn't take this. I didn't want to talk about it.

"Take me home" I said as I opened the whiskey bottle and took a swig. I felt the familiar burning sensation in my throat. But I knew what came with it. The feeling of finally being able to forget. To forget my brother's idiocy.

"What?" he asked furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.

"Take me home" I repeated walking over to the bike and putting the helmet on.

"Annabeth, you're brother's in their he's worried about yo-"

"I said take me home Percy!" I yelled.

"You either take me home. Or I will walk and find my own way" I yelled taking another swig of the whiskey.

I knew this put him a place of turmoil. He probably didn't want my almost drunken self-walking alone on the streets of New York.

"But you're broth-"

"Fine. I guess I'll just walk!" I screamed pulling off the helmet.

"No! No, wait!" he said as he walked over to me putting the helmet back on my head.

"I'll take you" he replied jumping on the bike extending a hand out to me. I took it and hopped behind him, bottle in hand and my purse strapped on across my chest.

I took another long sip and we drove off.

I felt my vision and mind blur as we drew nearer and nearer to the house.

I couldn't believe my brother. How stupid he was. How he could let that girl back into his life. How many times did she have to break his heart? How many times was he gonna come crying to me? How many times did I have to tell him she wasn't worth it? How many times did he go back to her? God, I swear. If she breaks his heart again. I'm done. I'm done with her and I'm done with him. I can't take this bullshit anymore. This is just so juvenile.

I took yet again another long sip and I rested my head on Percy's back and let my burning tears roll down my face.
