I am proud.. :) I'm done with another chapter... so review!
I was standing there in the bathroom. I was staring at the test. I was waiting.
Percy didn't know this...
He had no idea I was standing here doing this right now.
He thought I excepted that yesterday was a fluke.
I didn't.
My mind wouldn't shut up.
Way too many thoughts ran through my head.
"Annabeth?" Percy mumbled from the other side of the door.
I frowned. "I'm about to take a shower." I lied.
"Oh...really?" He asked, laughing.
I frowned. Bad lie... I really, really need to work on my lies.
I'm so dumb…
He opened the door and walked in, pulling his shirt over his head.
His eyes focused on the counter.
They went wide.
"Oh my gods." His voice was hoarse.
My eyes met his. My eyes shifted to the counter.
His arms wrapped around me.
I felt my mind go numb.
We stood there for a while before he spoke… His voice was barely a whisper, "Annabeth..." I didn't speak. I walked from the room in silence, leaving his arms empty. "Hey...come here." He mumbled, following me to where I stood gazing unseeingly out the window.
"You came here..." I muttered back.
"Look at me." He begged me. I didn't move. He moved his hand to my chin and lifting it up, forcing me to meet his gaze. "I love you."
My face crippled. "I love you." It was all I could say.
"I am not going to let anything happen to you. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you." He promised me, lips brushing my hair.
"I'm not worried about me Percy!" I yelled back. He went quiet. "I'm worried about them! I was worried before and I'm worried now. I… I'm not ready for this! I can't handle this... I can't not know what's happening to them..."
"We'll figure it out... We have fourteen years.." He mumbled, pulling me into his arms.
"Fourteen years can go by fast." It was barley a whisper.
"Annabeth... I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep you..." He trailed off, taking a deep breath before forcing the word out. "...and our children safe. I'm going to take care of our family. It'll all be okay and then this will be over and we can be together... Like a normal family."
"If we make it to that." I was about to start crying and I don't cry. Percy had only seen me cry maybe once.
"Hey... look at me." He pulled my face to his and kissing me lightly on the lips. "We'll be fine… I won't let anything happen to you."
"You just keep saying that Percy! I'm not ready for this! I'm just not Percy! We're just kids. And now a war is coming. A freaking war, Percy! We'll have to sit back and not know whether if their dead or alive and I'm not ready for that! I'm not ready Percy!" I was sobbing now and he pulled me tight to his chest kissing my hair.
"Annabeth..." He mumbled to himself, touching my face. "I love you... that's all that matters… You know love concurs anything."
"Your seriously joking at a time like this?" I asked him, choking the tears back.
"I know we're going to be okay... I know that Annabeth. Just trust me." He whispered to me.
"I trust you Percy... but..." I trailed off as he put a finger over my lips.
"No buts." He mumbled, leaning down and kissing me. "I am going to take care of you and Charles and Selina. No matter what. I'm going to take care of our family. Don't worry about all this now... we have some time to work these things out...as much as we can." He kissed my forehead. "Are you okay?"
I smiled quietly and then kissed him again. "I love you."
"Hey...you didn't answer me… Are you okay?" He muttered, touching his face.
"I'm good." I told him, smiling at him.
