AN Okay so this is one of the first flashback chapters which I will make one more. Also sorry ,but there are so many breaks in the chapter! And 3 more reviews and I would've had 70 people! But also I have 34 people on story alert and if even HALF of the people that get e-mails every time I update comment well I would have at least 15 reviews each update ,but I don't and I'm not going to beg for reviews nor am I going to be sad because once again I HAVE 67 right and I'm really happy with that as it if. But anyways I love the people that always review and the people that review every now and then even!

P.S. There are breaks in the memories so when your reading and theres a line it's in the present.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything of the PJATO series.

Third Person POV (Hint: There will be flashbacks ,but not in the sneak peak if this is were you're reading it.)

"Shit.." Percy said looking at Annabeth. Not looking guilty exactly ,but it was obvious Annabeth was not supposed to over hear that little conversation.

They all stood there almost awkwardly for about four seconds. Annabeth just needed to process what she had over heard. She felt like she shouldn't of walked into the living room because they all just completely froze.

At first she thought she heard him wrong ,but the whole freeze thing said that what she heard was exactly right. There was no disputing that Percy and Thalia had an almost never ending steam of swears that were flying through there heard at the moment.

"What do you mean 'knowing her for a year'? You've only known her for like the past two weeks.." Annabeth said looking at Percy to Thalia to see if she could detect anything on their faces.

"Well see we've been meaning to talk about that with you." Percy said looking at her.

"Yea, but we just didn't know when just please promise not to be mad about whatever we tell you," Thalia butted in throwing a glance to Percy that Annabeth had seen before ,but this time she knew that they weren't just random glances. They were communicating with each other somehow. "It's the past and wasn't recent at all and I can tell you we are totally different people now."

Annabeth walked over to an empty couch and slowly sat down as if she was suspicious that something was going to happen to her because of it. "I trust that you both are telling the truth so, I'm listening.." She said slowly looking at them.

"Okay well it all started when.." Thalia started

FLASH BACK (Italics means flashbacks)

A young Thalia who was not quiet as goth looking ran up to a front door. Usually at this door she would be smiling her head off ,but not this time. Something was wrong and she was going to tell the girl that was going to answer the door some bad news. This suck's Thalia thought bitterly as she heard the chimes of the doorbell she had heard them so many times she memorized them. She heard her friend unlocking the pristine white door and it swung open to reveal a younger Annabeth Chase with an old T-shirt and some jeans.

"Thalia!" She squealed hugging her friend and bringing them inside her house right into her living room where they both flopped down on the couch. Annabeth was happy to see her friend because the last time Annabeth was able to talk to Thalia, she was screaming at her parents and half crying. There talk ended when Thalia's dad took the phone and hung it up. Thalia was re-thinking telling her because she seemed so happy ,but she needed to because it was wrong to hid things from people.

"Thal's! My mom's making these weird cookies and -" She stopped talking and gave Thalia a hard look that was almost like she was glaring at her. And to any normal person it would look like she was ,but not to Thalia.

To Thalia she knew she had been caught and Annabeth was analyzing her to find out why she was different. And Thalia in a way felt different too, "What wrong?" With those two words Thalia's eye's flew up and looking into the stormy gray ones she's known for so long.

"I'm.. moving." Thalia spat out the last word and imagined it left a sour taste in her mouth and to her not only did it leave a bad taste in her mouth, it tasted toxic.

"What do you mean it started in 8th grade? When you said you were moving that has nothing to do with Percy he lived in-" Annabeth stopped and thought "Oh.." She said.

"But anyway's after I moved it was the beginning of the summer and I was in a new place. I met some kids who lived in my apartment building and they convinced me to go to this party as some rich kids house." Thalia said.

"And that rich kid was my friend Grover," Percy said laughing at the memory of the crazy summer party. "But anyway's when.."

BACK TO FLASH BACK!

On the other side of the USA and two months later in New York a young Percy flopped on his bed throwing his hands into the air for the first time since the last last day of school. He was glad it was all done he had finally graduated from that stupid intermediate school. No more stalker teachers or annoying girls that followed him around like lost puppies. Just summer parties with his fairly popular friends as if that mattered because he was friends with them for other reasons. But he had time for the first time in a long time. And with this time he would do what ever he wanted.

He was interrupted in mid-thought by he ringing of his cell phone. It was his friend Grover who he was already planning on calling because Grover was the first one to throw a party all the time. And all the other one's never measured up to his. Never.

"G-man! How was your first hour out of school!" Percy shouted into the phone knowing that Grover would probably complain about his horrible bus.

"Stupid Nacy Bobofits kept on pestering me about everything and she kept on asking me if I liked peanut butter and ketchup." Grover shuttered on the other end of the line while Percy just laughed.

"Well obviously that girl has problems anyway's I heard that your party is going to be tomorrow and I was wonder-" Percy was cut off by a laughing Grover who started talking.

"Yes, you can come over early my mom loves you and my father is out exploring again.." Grover said thinking about his dad. Percy knew the silence so he just kept quiet till his friend would start talking again. He felt bad for him ,but considered him lucky. Grover's whole family were all famous explorers for as long back as Percy could remember. And all that exploring really paid off for the family too. "But anyway's yea you can come early-"

This time Grover was cut off by Percy who was talking already,"Yea, yea as long as I help set up ,but anyway's did you hear about the new girl?" Percy said into the phone while getting up to see what was in the fridge.

"Dude how did I not, wait weren't we discussing her at lunch?" Grover said not waiting for an answer because he knew it was a yes. "Yea some people met her she moved into there apartment building like two days ago. I told them to invite her to the party because apparently she's pretty cool."

"Well then I can't wait to meet her anyway's about the party please, please tell me you already hid all that history stuff in the basement of your house because after they kid broke that Greek Vase your mom freaked.."

Percy said remembering exactly how loud Grover's mom could yell.

"Do you not think I remember? I was scarred, but yea she actually made me hid them in the crawl space it was terrible..." Gover said remembering the dark cramped space with no light and a door that got jammed every single time it closed.

"It's under your house ,not under all of the country how bad can that be?" Percy said having his own flashback about it ,but to him it was an awesome hide-and-go-seek hiding place unlike Grover who viewed it with the past of a traumatic experience.

"What does that have to do with you too anyway's? Is it necessary to tell the WHOLE conversation between you and your friend?" Annabeth said looking at Percy rolling her eyes which was stupid to do because he loved it when she rolled her eyes.

"Actually apparently yes.." Thalia said shrugging doubtful that the conversation had a point ,but then remembered a curtain part Percy was just getting to. Percy smirked and then answered the original question,

"Well not exactly right now ,but like two hours later we talk about someone a bit more important and if you interrupt then this is only going to take longer." He said in a sing song voice. Annabeth huffed and crossed her arms nodding for him to continue his oh-so-exciting story.

Going back to Flashback

"Wait are you going to have 7 minutes in Heaven again?" Percy smiled remembering being locking in a closet with Selena ,but they didn't do anything they actually just made fun of Grover's hat together. They were both friends and didn't want to ruin anything. But then Percy remember Grover's crazy crush on Juniper and knew that Grover would play till he ended up in that damn closet with her.

"Yea remember last year? Besides we do it like late into the part so only our really good friends and some others are still there to play." Grover said happily into the phone.

"And Jupiter will be there.." Percy laughed knowing that his friend was probably beat red over the phone. Which Grover was and he was also sputtering to come up with an answer,

"Yea well I plan on playing till I get into that damn closet with her and not even to do anything just to tell her how I feel!" He said shouting into the phone. Percy laughed Grover was the most innocent human and he knew that Juniper liked Grover ,but Grover refused to believe him.

Before Percy knew it, it was the party and it was around 1am. Sitting around the circle was about 20 people who were all laughing about that stupid kid who convinced a stupid girl to drink vinegar that he said was sprite. Long story short she kicked his ass. Even though there were about 19 other people in the circle though Percy stared at one. That new girl named Thalia, she was wearing almost all back and her hair was long ,but as they were talking before he knew she planned to cut it.

Percy spun the bottle praying it didn't land on Jacy Mathews because that girl was crazy obsessive. It slowly went to a stop and handed on Thalia who looked up and rolled her eye's cracking a smiled. They went into the closet and slammed the door making a point.

"So Percy right?" She said with fake confidence and Percy could tell ,but he didn't say anything mean.

"Yea Percy your Thalia right?" He said leaning back on the opposite side of her in the darkness.

"Yea well yes, what do people usually do in this game anyway's.." She said nervously glancing around. She was nervous ,but happy she was with Percy because he seemed to be pretty cool. He laughed easily at her comment before answering,

"Well that depends what you mean, what is supposed to happen or what actually happened here at Grover's.." Percy said looking at her knowing why she was nervous because he never really like the game himself.

"Here some people do nothing and sit around and talk for 7 minutes others kiss or something ,but the funniest thing is when two people that hate each other go in and come out close to friends."

"Yea I guess that would be pretty funny ,but it's just I've played this before and I didn't really like it because some kid try to- ugh I can't even talk about it.." Thalia shuttered hoping a good amount of time had passed.

"Sadly I can relate to that experience.." Percy laughed causing Thalia to laugh.

They became pretty good friends throughout the summer going to Parties and they got into fights every now and then ,but then there was that one night..

"What happened?" Annabeth interrupted already laying down on the couch. She was doing pretty good considering this whole thing was about her boyfriend and her best friend. But then again Annabeth was a pretty level headed person and knew that this was all in the past.

"Well if you didn't interrupt then-" Thalia started laughing ,but Annabeth rolled her eye's yet again. They were red from being tired which was reasonable because it was getting really late.

"Oh shush and tell me!" Annabeth pressed on. Because it was in the past Annabeth was really taking it like a soap opera instead of tragically like some obsessive girlfriend would've. Well that's what Annabeth thought anyway's ,but Percy was thanking whatever god's that were watching them for Annabeth not being mad at him for not telling him. Thalia was having flashbacks of everything and Nico well he was asleep on the other couch already. (Yes they have four couches!)

"Anyway's there was one night Percy .." Thalia started coming out of yet another flashback.

Flashback Part Again

They were hanging with some friends in central park and were currently playing hide-and-go-seek and it was safe because it was broad day light. Percy liked Thalia for awhile and Thalia liked Percy and both refused to see that they liked each other. But some thing complicated others like the fact that every other day they got into screaming matches. But as they ran away while Connor Stoll was counting with his eye's open no doubt Percy grabbed Thalia's hand and led her down a path into the woods.

"Smooth you idiot..you got us lost," Thalia sighed as Percy looked in all the directions he could and then back. No doubt they had turned ,but he couldn't remember were to go mostly because he was distracted. She was actually holding his hand back! He thought triumphantly. He turned around to face her and defend himself,

"No I didn't besides like you could get us out of here anyway's." He scoffed rolling his eye's. Which he knew he shouldn't have done ,but he didn't care because she was just nagging on him the whole damn day!

"Well I wouldn't of gotten us lost into freaking first place now would I?" She spat back regretting it knowing that they had another screaming match on. He looked at her annoyed and then looked around of traces of a trail,

"First off you would and you didn't answer the damn question!" He said looking into her imitating blue eye's that sparkled when she was extremely mad. He felt a little guilty ,but he somewhat loved it when she was mad. She was frustrated beyond belief and she wanted to punch him in the face ,but restrained herself because he bruised really easily and this fight would no doubt be over in a few minutes then she could go back to secretly liking him. But for now she wasn't going to loose this damn fight anyway's.

"Hell that was rhetorical! It wasn't even a question! You're so stupid sometimes it's truly amazing how you have friends!" Thalia shouted back up a bit and crossing her arms.

"Well you're just the smartest person in the world huh, THALIA! Your just so freaking smart huh, then why don't you just move back to freaking California were your dumb friend worships you!" He knew he was almost crossed the line by yelling that ,but he couldn't help himself.

"Percy that's real low you know? But I guess you wouldn't know that? You wouldn't know what to say to a freaking girl oh wait why don't you go ask your mother!" Thalia screamed the last part because she knew she had not only crossed a thick line that was very hard to cross with Percy she had completely sprinted across it. Percy face twisted into hurt then to hatred. He stalked off in one direction before Thalia shouted ,"Wait Percy I'm sorry!"

He turned around glaring at her so much she actually pulled her hand closer to her because for once she was afraid of him.

"Thalia you a real bitch," He snarled running off. Thalia knew that if she bothered him enough she might forgive him ,but she also knew she shouldn't of never said that because she knew that he was still touchy about that whole entire subject to being with. She had always stayed away from it ,but she didn't know why she just didn't bite her tongue that one damn time.

She sprinted after him ,but instead she ran into Connor who dragged her back to wear they had started the game. They all decided once they found Percy the game would be over they would end the game because it was getting late and they all needed to walk home. By the time Percy got back he wouldn't even look at her let alone to talk to her at all or even let her get close enough to him to say anything without telling other people. Though through all the laughing and the jokes the only acknowledgement was one sour glance when no one was looking.

Percy was watching TV at home in his apartment alone because he knew 'working late' for his father was just staying over night working. His father was planning of making I giant presentation with some other person that Percy didn't care to know. He heard someone banging on his door which didn't really scare him like it would with other people. Because standing in front of him was Thalia he looked at her for a second and just as she was about to start speaking he slammed the door in her face.
