A/N: Enjoy!

Annabeth POV:

I unlocked the front door and walked in quietly.

I quickly walked up the stairs and dropped off my bag into my room and walked up to Percy's door.

Taking a breath I walked in.

I scanned his room, but he wasn't there.

"Percy?" I whispered. No reply.

Where is he? I wondered as I walked down the stairs and walked into the living room.

It was empty too.

"Percy?" I called out as I walked into the kitchen.

I scanned the kitchen too.

Like all of the other rooms he wasn't there.

I noticed something yellow on the island and walked over to it. It was a note.

Went out. Be back later

I sighed.

"But I need to apologize" I whispered as I shook my head.

There's nothing I can do right now, so might as well take a relaxing shower.

I went to my room, stripped my clothes and jumped into the shower.

It felt so good as the warmth consuming my body.

As the water washed over me I heard the front door close.

It must be Percy I thought as I quickly turned off the shower and towel dried my body and hair.

I slipped on my undergarments and threw on a pair of jeans and a loose long sleeve grey shirt.

"Percy?" I called out as I walked down the stairs.

"Yea?" he said as he walked out of the kitchen.

He was holding a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates in one hand. In the other he had a bear that had the words I'm beary sorry.

Today he had on a plain black long sleeve and some blue jeans on. He looked as handsome as ever.

I looked at him curiously and smiled as I shook my head.

What a seaweed brain.

"What's all of that?" I asked as I stood in front of him.

"Well... I kind of blew up on you… And I saw that I scared you… And I just wanted to say I'm sorry that I scared you. And that I yelled at you…I'm really sorry Annabeth" he whispered as he offered me the gifts.

I smiled and took them from him.

I set the bear and chocolates on the island as I went into the cabinet and fetched a vase to put the bouquet of flowers in.

As I finished I saw Percy standing in the door way of the kitchen looking guilty.

I walked over to him and hugged him.

"It's okay... I forgive you" I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He let out a sigh and wrapped his arms around my torso.

We stayed like this for a while.

I pulled back and looked at him.

"I know that it was for a good reason that you blew up"

"You do?" he asked as he rested his hands on my hips.

"I do… And I am so sorry" I said as I closed the distanced and hugged him tightly again.

"How… how do you know?" he asked.

"Thalia told me…"

"She did? When… When did you see her?" he asked still holding me closely to his chest.

"When I left the house… I went to grab a bite… and she was there. She didn't tell me everything… But she told me that your sister died because of alcohol…" I whispered sadly.

"Oh…" he whispered silently.

I pulled back and gazed into his sea green eyes.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked tilting my head slightly.

He took a deep breath and spoke, "I should probably tell you… Since I yelled at you for it"

"You don't have to if you don't want to" I shot out quickly. I didn't want to force him into anything.

"No… It's something I want to do" he said offering a small smile.

"Follow me" he whispered as he grasped my hand and led me up the stairs.

We proceeded to his room, as we walked in he let go of my hand and went into his dresser pulling out a box.

He then opened his window and climbed out.

I stood in his room awkwardly.

Was I supposed to follow?

"Come on Annabeth" I heard Percy say from outside.

"Coming" I responded as I proceeded to climb out of the window.

As I got out, I couldn't help but remember the first night I came up here.

I vaguely remember being over the top wasted, then Percy came… And after that, I don't remember.

I finally got both feet and my body out of the window. Percy was leaning against the wall sitting down with the box on his lap.

I walked over to him and sat down beside him.

He looked at me and smiled, but I could see right through his smile. This was gonna be hard for him to talk about.

"Percy" I said as I rested my hand upon his as he began to open the box.

"You don't have to" I assured him.

He used his other hand and rested it on my own and looked me in the eyes.

"I want to"

"Okay" I said removing my hand.

As he rummaged through his box I looked out into the setting sun.

It was really beautiful, the oranges and pinks and coming dark purple.

Sometimes nature is just so beautiful.

There was still enough light to see everything.

I looked at Percy.

He really was quite a looker. His tousled black hair now covered his face from me. He hadn't gotten it cut ever since I got here. But I knew the design of his face by heart.

From his dimples that were carved deep into his cheeks, his sculpted cheek bones, and plush lips to his full long eye lashes that hid away his sea green eyes.

I couldn't count the number of times I just wanted to graze my hand along his lips, they looked so soft. So… Kissable… But I doubt I'd ever have the chance. I was a mess. I just got out a long term relationship and I'm probably an alcoholic. I'm too messed up for anyone to love.

"Her name was Vanessa" he said as he pulled out a picture.

He handed me the picture.

I scanned it as he talked.

"She was two years older than me" he said.

She was really beautiful. She could have been Percy's twin, but as he had raven black hair she had long brown hair. But they both shared the same bright sea green eyes. In the picture she was on Percy's back smiling while Percy stood there with a frown upon his face. It looked like he wasn't too happy with her on his back. I giggled a little at his pout.

"Honestly, I don't remember anything about her. I don't even remember what she looks like. My mom, she gave me this picture to try and help me remember" he spoke.

I handed him back the picture.

He put it back in the box and closed the lid, gazing out to the horizon.

"It sucks" he whispered.

I looked at him and reached for his hand. He didn't even flinch, only interlocked our fingers together.

"I only remember some parts of the accident. I remember I went to an end of the year party for my senior year. One thing led to another and I was wasted beyond belief. I knew I couldn't drive, so I called my sister to pick me up. Luckily she came back that week to stay over because my mom was away on a business trip. So, she gladly came and picked up my drunken ass…. After… After that… I don't remember much…. But… But they told me what happened" he said quietly.

"I woke up the next day in the hospital… I remember shooting up and calling for anyone. My mom she was there and ran over to my side trying to calm me. I remember asking her what had happened, and she told me that I was in an accident with my sister…. I… I remember saying I don't have a sister… I really didn't remember anything… She looked at me curiously and told me that I did. Her name was Vanessa. But I had no clue to what she was talking about. So I asked her where this sister of mine was..." he continued.

"She... She told me that my sister… She died… She died in the accident that we were in… She told me what happened… She said we were almost home; we were turning on the last intersection when out of nowhere this car slammed into my sister's side of the car. She died on impact... And me… I was knocked out cold… The car tumbled and well... Somehow I survived… But her... There was no use… She died…. The driver apparently was heavily intoxicated like me…." He choked out.

I could tell he was trying to hold back his tears. So I squeezed his hand trying to reassure that I was there for him.

He looked and me and continued.

"The doctor came in and talked to my mom and me… He told us that I suffered some brain damage and I… I could possibly be losing some of my memories…. I didn't believe them at all... I mean I would have remembered a sister... But my mom she showed me pictures and videos of us together… I swear… I could have prevented this… My sister could have still been alive… If... if only I drove myself... She would still be here… I wouldn't have to rely on pictures to see what she looks like... I could have my memories with her… But no... I had to fucking call her… I had to … I killed her Annabeth... I killed my sister… And I can't even remember" he said as he began to sob silently.

"I… I... Killed her…. It should have been me… She should have lived… Not me…" he cried.

"Percy, don't say that... You didn't kill her… You did the right thing… It wasn't your fault that the other driver was wasted... It's not your fault" I whispered as I climbed into his lap.

I straddled him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

He pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist, as he cried into the crook of my neck.

"Gods…. I would give anything to remember her" he repeated over and over.

I couldn't imagine how bad he must be feeling right now. I honestly don't know if it was appropriate for me to be sitting on his lap like this. But he needed me. And I needed him. I hugged him tightly as I let him have his moment.

After whispering that it wasn't his fault constantly, he seemed to be calming down...

I heard him take a few breaths.

I pulled back and lifted his chin up so I could see his face.

His cheeks were all flushed and his eyes were all swollen. There were wet streaks running along his face. I used my sleeve and wiped them off.

"You okay?" I asked quietly.

"Yea…" he replied looking down…

"God…. I look like a pansy" he whispered letting out a small laugh.

"No you don't" I giggled as I ran my hand through his soft black hair.

He looked at me with his swollen eyes and formed a small smile.

"Well… There goes my chances of being with you" he whispered almost to the point that I couldn't hear. But I did.

"What are you talking about? I love boys who can cry" I winked.

He looked at me and laughed lightly.

"Sure you do" he spoke sarcastically.

"I do Jackson" I smiled.

"And... I'm sorry… I'm sorry for our fight yesterday… And I promise… I'll never resort to alcohol again… I don't want to put you in that situation ever again…" I whispered.

"Really?" he said as he lifted a hand off of my waist and used it to caress my face.

I leaned into the touch and replied, "Really" I smiled.

He looked at me gratefully.

I couldn't believe how close we had gotten. I mean here I am sitting on his lap, while he just cried. Talk about true friendship right here.

"Come on, let's go do something seaweed brain" I said as I stood up and out of his lap.

He got up and stood next to me.

As I turned away to go back into the house he stopped and pulled me back to him.

He hugged me tightly and whispered, "Thanks wise girl"

I smiled and hugged him tightly.

"Anything for you Percy"

I pecked him lightly on the cheek and walked into his bedroom.

I sat on his bed and waited for him to come back in.

A few seconds later he jumped into the window and closed it behind him.

He put the box containing the picture of his sister into his dresser once again.

He grabbed a jacket from his closet and walked over to me.

"Let's go" he smiled clutching my hand leading me to the front door.

"Where are we going?" I asked as he locked the front door.

He handed me a helmet and got onto his bike.

I pulled the helmet on and jumped onto the back of the motorcycle.

He revved up the bike and spoke, "You'll see"

I smiled as he sat down and drove off into the sunset.
