Annabeth's POV

I almost scream in shock, if I didn't clamp my mouth soon enough.

There, I saw, through the mist, was Madge, kissing Percy.

But what shocked me the most; he was kissing back.

Tears started welling in my eyes. I couldn't take it.

Percy looked confused, then he noticed something at the corner of the room; the Iris Message.

Great timing, eh?

We lock eyes, and I slash at the mist, breaking the connection.

Then here comes Niagara falls and I lose my sanity.

I climb to my bed, burying my face in my lavender scented pillow.

I was confused, hurt, and of course, jealous.

Get over it, Annabeth. He probably moved on already. He doesn't love you anymore. He loves Madge, and they will live happily ever after.

Percy's POV

My head hurt a lot. I was just heading to the bathroom to IM Annabeth, when Madge pushed me down to the bed, held my shoulders down, and kissed me.

My mind went fuzzy, I didn't know what to do.

For some odd reason, I kissed back, and I totally regret it. My mind was in tangles, and I was drunk.

I open my eyes, to see something floating right at the corner of the room. The Iris Message.

Sea green against gray, just as she slashed at it, the mist vanishing.

I push Madge away, making her fall to the ground.

"What the hell was that Madge! Didn't I tell you I was going to do something? Why did you do that?" I shouted at her. Things were so complicated with mortals like her. They won't simply understand that you just broke someone's heart because she saw us kissing through a floating magical connection called an Iris Message.

Madge struggled to get up. "What's wrong, Percy? We're dating aren't we? I mean, come on, you're thinking about Annabeth, aren't you?" she hints, and I get angrier.

"Look, leave her out of this! Stop hating on her! Aren't you supposed to best friends?" I shout, and she grins maniacally at me.

She laughs at herself, looking like a crazy scientist on TV.

"Oh, Percy. You actually think, that we were best friends?" she glares at me, and my eyes widen. Please, don't tell me it's all a lie.

"What, what are you saying?" I manage to say.

"We knew each other from school, that was true. But best friends! That's what you call acting, Percy. She was pretty, and popular, talk about being her sidekick. Being 'best friends' was just a bonus. Now, I was here to show her that I'm way better than her. I guess being heartbroken too was just a bonus, right?"

I stare at my shoes. She did all of this. She knew Annabeth and I were up to do something on around this time, even if she was a mortal. She made me drunk, and kissed me. She brought me here, to San Francisco, to show off to her friend, who happened to be Annabeth.

Why is this friggin' world so small.

And I didn't even get the chance to tell her that I still loved her.

I stare at Madge. Who by the gods possessed me and made me agree to date this horrible, no class, woman in front of me?

I sigh heavily. I was heartbroken at that time, and I needed a woman to heal that, or at least, have a new replacement for Annabeth. I guess it never really worked out, because I never really loved Madge; it was still Annabeth all along.

I slapped her hard on the face, and she staggers back to the ground, holding her cheek.

"You know what the biggest mistake I had made in my entire life? It was you." I say harshly.

"You made Annabeth's life even more miserable, when she just recently broke up with me." I say, and her eyes widen, her jaw dropping in shock.

"Yeah, that's right. We were together before." I continue, and she still couldn't talk.

"2 months together during summer? Make that 5 years. And sparring partners? Way more than that." I say.

Madge was still on the floor, holding her cheek. I grab my bag from behind her and walk to the door.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm about to get Annabeth back. Good luck and finding a new boyfriend, I'm out." I say harshly, leaving her in the room, crying.

Annabeth's POV

The sound of my ringtone wakes me up.

I glance at my alarm- 3 AM. This must be something important.

I press accept.

"Fly to New York as soon as possible. Something's wrong with camp."

I end the call. It was an unknown number. Even though I'm 21 and technically doesn't have to join camp, it's still my home.

I change into some shorts and a shirt, and call for the next flight leaving for New York.

Percy's POV

I hail a cab and rush to her apartment. I have to talk to her.

I try to sort out my thoughts as I ring her doorbell. No one opens.

I ring it again, but still, no one opens.

I was about to walk away, when I stop myself.

You have to do it now, Percy. Come on, if you love her, then do it now.

Just as I held the knob, my phone vibrates. It must be her.

I check the caller ID, it was unknown. I answer it anyway.

"Please fly to New York as soon as possible. Something's wrong with camp." I end the call, and glance at Annabeth's door.

She's probably out eating her sadness or something. I guess you can wait. Right now, I'm flying back to Camp Half-Blood.

Athena's POV

I sat on my throne, smiling. Just then, Kelp Head comes in.

"You done calling her?" he asked politely.

"Yes. And you?" I ask back, and he nods.

I massage my head, trying to clear things out.

"Look, maybe this was a bad idea. They actually fell for it. What if they get hurt or have an accident from rushing to camp, when nothing's really wrong?" I say, and Poseidon rolled his eyes.

"Relax, Owl Head. I mean, it was your idea to call them, right?" he retorts, and I frown.

"Yes, but who thought of the lame excuse that something was wrong with camp? You could've just said that they should just meet up somewhere and talk things out. Not like this." I retort, and he sighed heavily.

"Why are you always, right, Athena."

I smirk. "I'm always right." I say, as we both settle down on our thrones, watching our two children race to camp, awaiting to have the greatest talk of their life.

So, there was chapter 12! 10 reviews until the last chapter. I will miss writing this story.
