He's Gone Away…
Chapter 26
Dance With Me
Annabeth's POV
Annabeth was dancing with Malcolm. It was a slow song, and Annabeth was leaning into Malcolm for comfort and strength. Her eyes were closed.
Someone walked up to Annabeth and tapped her on the shoulder. "Can I have this dance?"
I know that voice. She looked up. It was Percy. She hit him, and then she burst out crying. "Where have you been?"
"Hera took me to the roman camp… But Aphrodite said I was needed here, and brought me back."
Annabeth clung to him. She just cried and cried. "It's gonna be okay."
Everyone was staring at them. The black haired boy in ripped jeans and an orange t-shirt, and Annabeth Chase the girl who never lost her cool.
"Will you dance with me?" Percy said quietly.
Annabeth laughed, "sure, seaweed brain."
They danced.
