PERCY POV
I just run out of Olympus. I flashed myself to Alaska. The land beyond the gods. Nobody would find me here except for Chaos.
Chaos I won't be coming back for a while or never, but I will have a wife by the time you make me have one.
"Okay Percy" Chaos said in my mind and left
Did she really mean that? Did she? Am I over-reacting? I need to get away. THE LOVE OF MY LIFE JUST TOLD ME SHE HATED ME AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM ANYMORE. I'm just going to start a new life here and forget all about the Greek 'Myths' I don't need to see Artemis anymore. I can forget my life. I can do whatever I want. I can have a normal and mortal life. I KNOW, I KNOW! I am immortal but you get what I mean right? I just need to forget.
I snapped some money in my hand and bought a house. I also got a job because I don't want to just snap my fingers and be lazy. I need to work for it. I got a small job at a restaurant and I applied for a school so that I can become a marine biologist.
TIME SKIP 4 YEARS AT GRADUATION
PERCY POV
I am so happy! I graduated! I did it! I'm the VALEDICTORIAN! There wasn't a lot of monsters. I have a lot of friends and some good ones too.
I have a best friend that is a girl named Kim and she is 5'7 so she is really tall. She has brunette hair. She has nice and warm hazel eyes. She has a smile that can light up the whole world! Yeah, I do have a crush on her but after my experiences with love...I don't know if I can have a relationship. It's just too much for me. But maybe I can try and throw myself out there. Maybe I have a shot of not breaking my heart...she is a mortal...maybe mortals won't break my heart...
Kim actually knows about Greek Mythology. I trust her and she trusts me she just doesn't know my one little dirty secret. She knows what happened with all the girls I dated.
My best friend that is a guy is named John. He and I get along well. We have a lot of things in common actually. He is also a mortal like Kim but he doesn't know about the Greek Myth's.
I have other friends too but they aren't as important as John and Kim.
Once we left graduation, Kim and I decided to hang out and just look for jobs. She wants to be a scientist that experiments on marine animals.
Kim and I already applied for jobs.
TIME SKIP AFTER THEY LANDED THEIR JOBS!
PERCY POV
"YAY! Percy we got jobs at the same company!" Kim said happily
"I know! I am really happy too!" I said
"SOOO? What do you want to do to celebrate?" Kim asked
"I don't know" I said
"We could go bowling or ice-skating. We could also go sledding. OMG! WE COULD GO SHOOT ARROWS!" Kim screamed
I couldn't! It reminded me of HER! I still can't bear the pain of my heart breaking! I still can't! I think about her and I start to cry. How could she say she hate me? How could she say that Orion was better than me? How could she not trust me? And most importantly: HOW COULD SHE NOT LOVE ME!
You want to know what hurts the most? I STILL LOVE ARTEMIS! WHY! Does my love life have to be so difficult? Why do the fates hate me?
Kim noticed my silence and said "I'm so sorry I shouldn't have said that."
"No, it's fine I have the perfect place to shoot arrows at. Take my hand and close your eyes" I said
She closed her eyes and I led her to the cliff where I sang the song for Artemis.
ARTEMIS POV
He has been gone for 4 years and I couldn't find him! 4 DAM YEARS! (get it?) I regret all the words that I said. I regret all the things I have done to him. I regret that fight we had. I want to just redo that fight. What hurts the most is that my last words to him were 'I HATE YOU PERSEUS JACKSON' Even though, I didn't hate him, I don't know why I said it? Did I act on impulse? I haven't been able to track him down. I go to the cliff often to just remember him. I pull the heart charm but he never comes. He NEVER EVER comes and it's my fault. I'm actually going to the cliff right now just so that I can remember him.
I flash there and I can't believe my eyes! PERCY IS HERE! HE IS HERE! HE IS ACTUALLY HERE! Wait! Who is he with? Is that a GIRL?! NO! NO! NO!
PERCY POV
You might think that I lost my skill but I never did I still practice just in case.
I snapped my fingers and a bow and 2 target ranges appear, one for me and one for her. I summon my bow.
"Percy can you teach me how to shoot it?" Kim asked
"Yeah of course" I said
I went next to her and held her in her. I put her feet in the right position. I hold her hand and pull the string for her.
"We're going to let it go on 3" I said
"1,2,3!" I said and released it. It hit right in the middle.
"Thanks Perce" She said turning to face me looking directly at me smiling. I smiled back at her. My smile dropped when I heard a voice.
"P-p-Percy?" A very familiar voice that I was not ready to hear spoke
"A-a-Artemis?" I whispered
"Oh my gods! You're Artemis?! Perce can you flash me back to my place so you guys can talk alone?" Kim asked
"Sure of course Kim" I said flashed her back
After moments of silence she spoke up.
"Percy, where were you?" Artemis asked
"Places where I could forget which sadly I can't" I said
I took a clear look at her face and she looks sad. REALLY SAD! MAYBE EVEN CRYING!
"Percy, I love you still do please forgive me! I never ever meant the words that I spoke! I was filled with sorrow and regret every single year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and second that you were gone. I always wished you would come back to me! Percy I acted on impulse and I never meant those words, I was just angry, Percy! I just want you back with me! I need you Percy!" Artemis said
"I can't just leave Artemis, I have a job and a new life" I said
"Why don't you have one with me?" Artemis tried to convince me
"Give me one good reason I should stay" I said
"Because I love you Percy" She said and kissed me before I could respond
Once her lips were on mine, all the old emotions that I had when I kissed her resurfaced. All the memories and the good times we had made me love her even more! All these emotions made me forget about my feelings for Kim and just made more room in my heart for Artemis. I tried to break away but I just didn't want to. The love of my life is kissing me! She loves me and I love her. I am hers and she is mine.
"Please Percy, stay with me" Artemis said
"Okay Artemis but I will visit my friends" I said
"You know that I really don't care as long as you love me and stay with me" Artemis said
"What are we Artemis?" I asked
"I just want to go back how things were before which is us dating" Artemis said
"Okay that is fine by me" I said and kissed her
