Hey guys so here's chapter 3! I decided to start naming the chapters because I like doing it. I also want to note that I quoted my favorite book (well one of them); The Hunger Games in this chapter. See if you can find it (and the quotes on my profile page so when you think you have it go there). You'll also find that when Percy interacts with the other characters I kept a lot of the wording I used in 7 years. Not because I'm lazy (maybe a little) but because I feel that Percy and Annabeth are so similar that they would think in the same way. ALSO PLEASE READ AND REVIEW MY STORY M.A.D! A sequel to 7 years! I may be having a contest involving that story so look for updates!

Percy watched as Annabeth's knees locked and her back stiffened. She ever so slowly turned, appearing to dread the moment that she had to look at his face.

And then he saw her.

It was like falling in love all over again.

That grimy attic window hadn't done her beauty justice.

She wasn't beautiful.

She was radiant as the sun.

He found himself just wanting to run up and pull her into his arms, 7 years had been too long.

He looked back into her stormy grey eyes and noticed she looked like a deer in the headlights.

"Hi." She managed to choke out.

But Percy ignored her.

He was far too busy taking in the sight of her.

He was like a junkie who had just relapsed.

She was his drug and boy had he had missed this high.

He finally managed to rip his gaze away, feeling that it was making her uncomfortable.

"Well, this isn't awkward at all" Nico whispered, receiving a punch in the arm from Thalia.

It was then that Chiron decided interject, "Once you all get to Tokyo, we suggest you all head to the economic district, we figure it's a good place for the monsters to hide. Now, I will let you all get reacquainted, and then I suggest you all get some rest." With that Chiron left the room leaving the four to get "reacquainted".

You could cut the tension with a knife.

"So, um, Percy, who are you going to get? I never got a chance to ask." Thalia questioned.

"My mom." Percy answered, suddenly focusing on the real reason he was here. His mom. Not to fall back into love with Annabeth.

"Sally was taken?" Annabeth asked, in a tone that implied she hadn't actually thought about what she was going to say before she said it.

"Yes." Percy answered choosing not to look at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

He didn't want sympathy from her. He would say it was because he didn't want anything from her but really he just didn't like to see her sad.

"Don't be. You lost someone too."

"Yeah, don't mention that to her. Annabeth's cookoo." Nico laughed.

"Oh shut up, Nico. Don't worry Annabeth we'll get, um…" Thalia fumbled.

"Tyler." Annabeth whispered, clearly hoping to change the subject.

"Right, we'll get Tyler back."

"Who's Tyler?" Percy asked letting his curiosity win out. He subconsciously turned towards Annabeth waiting for a reply.

"My son."

Pain.

Pain greater than anything ever imaginable. Not at the fact htat Annabeth had a son. He really was happy that there was someone like her walking around.

He just always imagined that the person would be half his.

The idea that Annabeth had fallen in love with someone else, even if just for a night, was enough to make him want to die.

"S- ssss- son" Percy choked out.

"Yes, my son, Tyler." Annabeth replied coolly, as if she didn't realize how much pain he was in.

Percy attempted to regain his composure, but his fists wouldn't come unclenched and it was impossible to hide the pain in his eyes.

"Well, this has been pleasant. I think we should all get some rest and we can reconvene in the morning." Thalia stated before she and Nico walked out of the room.

"Percy-"

"I don't know, I don't care. As soon as I get my mom back, I'm done with you." He just wanted to get the hell out of there.

"Please just hear me out."

Percy sighed and looked at the floor, finding it easier to look at it over her. She was right, he did owe it to her. And then something occurred to him. Something that threatened to shake him to the core.

"How old?" He stuttered.

"What?"

"How old is the kid?" Percy paused trying to remember his name, "Tyler."

"Percy-"

"How old Annabeth?"

Annabeth sighed before continuing, "He's seven."

"You didn't!" the pain becoming evident in his voice.

Evil.

Lying.

Cheating.

Bitch.

"Percy, I wanted to tell you but-"

"You cheated on me!"

Annabeth's eyes grew as big as saucers. Seemingly surprised he had called her out.

"Wait, what, no its not like that!"

"Then what is it huh?"

Here's what it was.

Annabeth had cheated.

It explained everything. Why she had dumped him so suddenly. Why she never gave an explanation. Why she was being so shady.

"I can't tell you."

So it was true.

"I knew it."

"Percy, please" Annabeth begged.

"Save it. I'll see you."

And then he stormed out of the room.

*Line Break*

It took about 15 minutes for Percy to realize some vital information.

Annabeth wouldn't cheat.

Annabeth would lie.

Annabeth would steal.

Hades, Annabeth would kill.

But, she would never cheat.

Percy felt like a jackass.

He was a jackass.

He needed to set things right.

He jogged out of the Poseidon cabin to where he knew Annabeth would be.

But as he reached the Athena cabin, he realized that Annabeth wasn't alone.

He shouldn't eavesdrop.

That didn't mean he wouldn't.

"Yeah, so?" Annabeth's voice echoed.

"So? The kid has Seaweed Brain written all over him. Come on Annabeth have a little faith in me. I mean who wouldn't put two and two together. Kid's seven, right around when you dumped Jackson, it just makes sense."

That had to be Thalia. She would pay for that comment later.

And then it hit him.

Seaweed Brain. Kid. Seven. Dumped. Jackson.

Percy leaned towards the door desperately.

Percy heard Annabeth sigh before she continued, "Percy didn't figure it out."

"Please, that idiot wouldn't figure it out if you outright told him. Just because we're cousins, doesn't mean we have the same IQ, thank the gods."

Was it hate on Percy day?

Focus Jackson.

"I missed you Thals. But what am I going to do?"

Percy heard Thalia cross the room, he was practically standing in the room.

"You tell him."

The tiny cogs in Percy's head began to turn.

It was making sense.

Percy could only form one clear thought

Oh shit.
