Its time for the next chapter and its gonna be so much fun and most of you are going to curse me for this but I kinda had it planned from the beginning so he he here it is. P.S its inspired by Bad Blood by Taylor Swift.

It Had Begun Again With A Simple Hello

It was if Kronos had risen up from the underworld, reformed and frozen time all around Annabeth as she stared in disbelief at this things that claimed that Percy's girlfriend. She quite literally felt her heart die in that moment.

So many questions ran through her brain but the one question that hit her was, Is this his way of getting revenge on me? Is he just getting my hope only to tear me down? She was almost in tears as she dropped her hand luggage to the floor the moment the word girlfriend left this woman's lips.

Annabeth was left gaping like a fish, her lungs desperately trying to draw in oxygen, not that she wanted to be alive at the moment as no sound left her lips as she tried to comprehend what to say after that.

The valedictorian of Goode High school didn't and couldn't form a reply, she couldn't even wing it or even play it cool. The Annabeth Chase had truly been stumped, with her heart dying a slow, painful agonizing death into Loneliness Street and Despair Lane of Sorrowville, Heartbreaktropolis.

"RED, what did you even say?" A familiar voice said as the person Annabeth had come to rekindle a broken relationship appeared in all his godly glory.

There before her stood, Perseus Achilles Jackson, the Greek God of sexiness and leg melting, heart racing, turning any girl that looks up him to goo and mush without even looking at them, with no shirt on. Out in the open, his rippling muscles that formed from years of swimming, running and lifting weights glistened with sweat, the clear image of a male sports supermodel physique with a tight six pack of washboard abs that you could wash your clothes on.

Hanging low on his hips was a pair of baggy running shorts, and by low, it was low enough that you could see the distinct V line running down underneath the shorts towards the very thing that made him a man. Annabeth could already feel his powers working on her, effectively her legs started turning to jelly but that wasn't her undoing.

His face was.

As Annabeth looked up at his face, she just felt her heart race a trillion miles an hour, effectively breaking the speed barrier that was her resolve as she stared at the way his hair was slightly sticking to his face. He was currently having large drink of water as his plastic bottle was already half empty and Annabeth gulped as she watched his Adam's able bob as he drank.

When the bottle was empty, the bottle was slightly scrunched as the plastic crackled beneath his fingers as he pulled the rim of the neck of the bottle away and Annabeth had to physically restrain herself from launching herself at him and kissing his perfectly formed, plump rose lips that were wet from the water and perfectly kissable.

Percy's gaze immediately flickered to Annabeth and she couldn't help but stare into his rich sea green eyes that were sparkling brighter than the stars in the sky, filled with intense curiosity as he formed a smile on his face as his eyes filled with surprise.

"Annabeth," he whispered in disbelief as they locked gazes, his green ones looking deeply into hers as his lips formed the words of the question that came. "What are you doing here?"

Annabeth was immediately brought back into reality as she smiled sadly at him, "I would've called but I know that you usually slept in late on a Saturday but I see you have company," the last word was like acid on her tongue as she knelt down and picked up her hand luggage, "so I'll just be on my way. I'm sure I'll be able to find a hotel or something." She mumbled, fighting the urge to cry as she grabbed her suitcase and started her way back down the hall towards the elevator.

She could feel the single tear running down from her eye as she reached up and wiped it away when she heard him call out, "Annabeth, wait!" she was brought to a halt when a hand gripped her shoulder and turned her round. She was immediately met by the concerned gaze of Percy and she bit her bottom lip to prevent herself from smiling at how cute he looked when he was concerned.

"Yeah, Percy." She answered simply, fighting to make sure her swirling emotions didn't betray her now.

"I didn't expect you to be coming until tonight." He said softly as he took his hand off her shoulder and tucked them into the pockets of his shorts as he rolled on his heels, one of his hands reaching up and running through his slightly wet black locks.

"Want to tell me why you decided to leave out the important fact that you already have a girlfriend living with you when you asked me to come back." Annabeth said as calmly as she could, fighting the urge to bite his head off at the betrayal she felt deep inside. "You guys seemed pretty cosy considering she is wearing your shirt and nothing else." That came out a little more annoyed and bitter than she intended to but Percy didn't seem to notice as he turned round and seemed to glare at the woman.

"Did she tell you she was my girlfriend?" Percy asked in an annoyed yet curious tone and Annabeth answered with a nod as Percy let out a laugh as she shook his head. "She does this to everyone." He muttered to himself as he reached out and grabbed Annabeth suitcase and her hand luggage, "Come with me please, Annabeth."

Annabeth couldn't help but follow when he asked like that as she crossed her arms over her chest as she followed him forward back to the apartment.

"Alright ladies. We seem to have started on the wrong foot." Percy said calmly as he glared at the red head. "First off, Rachel, stop telling people you are my girlfriend, if Octavian, your fiancé heard you saying that, he would demand to have my head mounted on spike."

Annabeth had to force herself not to sigh in relief, she had never been so relieved in all of her life to learn anything and hearing this Rachel character was engaged to someone else had her sighing in relief.

"Secondly Rachel, go get dressed, you look like a cheap, easy, excuse the rudeness, slut with just my shirt on." Annabeth had to hold in her snicker as the girl rolled her eyes and frowned at Percy as she checked her nails.

"Whatever Perce. Thanks for letting me crash the night anyway." She said calmly as she mounted her toes and pressed a kiss on his cheek, which caused Annabeth to scrunch her eyes and glare at the girl as her hand lingered on Percy's shoulder. "And Perce, lighten up. I was only playing around." She said with a giggle as she turned round and strutted back into the apartment.

Percy turned his head and sighed as he looked at Annabeth, "I'm sorry about that Annabeth." Percy apologized sincerely, "She's a one of Juniper's, Grover's wife friends and she needed a place to crash for the night cause she locked herself out of her apartment and her fiancé is out of town until today. He is actually on his way here now and she kinda has that flirtatious attitude."

"No kidding." Annabeth whispered to herself. "I know its weird, me dropping in so early and that but I managed to get an earlier flight so I thought I'd surprise you." Annabeth's voice went quieter, words becoming single sentences of their own as she looked down, finding her shoes very interesting.

"Well you certainly surprised me." Percy chuckled and Annabeth cracked a smile. "I am really glad you are here cause I have not had a decent home cooked meal in months. I have been eating so much junk food I am surprised I am as fit as I am."

That caused Annabeth to crack a smile as Percy lifted her bags and carried them inside, Annabeth following behind and she instantly felt all the memories of the time in together in this apartment from the time they first got it to the time they fought and Percy left and then she left.

She instantly felt at home again as she followed Percy to what would be her separate room, for now she hoped until they figured out where they stood and she she was really glad to be back. "How about I leave you to unpack and I will just put on a shirt and run down to the store and get real food according to you."

Annabeth couldn't help but smile.

"Anything specific you want to cook?" Percy asked curiously as Annabeth smiled.

"Nah, pick what you like and I will make it into food for you." Annabeth answered whimsically as Percy grinned brightly. "You know we will have to talk tonight about what we are gonna do about us." She said as she gestured between the two of them.

"I know." He said softly as he walked forward until he was standing right in front of her. He seemed to be debating about something before he reached out and took one of her hands in his as he gently rubbed his thumb over her knuckles. "I really meant it when I said I was glad you are here but there is one thing I think I have to say before I go and that is, can we maybe just be friends for now and just forget the past cause every time I think about it, it just..." He trailed off as his gazed saddened.

"I think that's a wonderful idea." She answered with a smile as she reached up and affectionately ran her hand over his head, messing up his hair a little as she chuckled, "Maybe there isn't so much seaweed as I originally thought was in here."

Percy smiled and chuckled with her as he released her hand and playfully swatted her hand away as he leaned back. Even when she stood on her tippy toes, she couldn't reach his head as they laughed and smiled.

"Do you really feel like cooking tonight, Wise Girl?" Percy asked, as if knowingly and Annabeth smiled.

"You know me too well, Percy." Annabeth said as she flopped down onto the bed and groaned. "I want junk food, please. If you get me something greasy and fatty and cheesy, not only will I love you forever, I bake you your mother's cookies everyday."

Percy lay down on her bed next to her, leaning his chin on his arms that were crossed on the bed, sticking his hand out to her. "You got yourself a deal, Chase."

Annabeth smiled and shook hands to that.

"Percy, have you seen my bra, I can't find it anywhere?" Rachel said as she peaked her head in from behind the door with her shirt pressed to her bare chest as Annabeth sat up and growled under her breath.

"Did you check in the wash basket where you changed last night?" Percy said as he turned his head and look at Rachel.

"It's not there." She said with a pathetic pout that had Annabeth going metal as Percy groaned and stood up, "I'll be right back, Annabeth." He said calmly as he walked out the room, Rachel smiling innocently and flirtatiously at the same time as he walked by her and out the room.

Rachel oddly remained but she turned her head and glared at Annabeth. "you don't wanna mess with me cause whether you like it or not, he is mine bitch." She said with a head roll. "I know you don't like me but I am here to stay and Percy is mine."

Annabeth felt herself fuming as she stood up and walked over to Rachel, if looks could kill, this girl would be dead a thousand times over and suffering in Tartarus. "You'd better buck up because baby, now we got bad blood because you had better stay away from Percy or the next thing you see will be my fist breaking that pretty little nose of yours you engaged hoe."

Rachel brow furrowed as her face hardened before she smiled.

"Let the games begin, Annabitch." With that, Rachel skipped out the room, cooing Percy's name as she moved through the apartment.

Annabeth sighed and reached up to her neck and hooked her fingers onto the chain around her neck and looked at the ring in her hand. "Nothing will take him from me, not this time. Percy Jackson is mine and RED had better be prepared for war because in the end, I will be the victorious one."

The war was about to begin but for now, Annabeth had to focus on fixing things with Percy and to do that, she had to get past the first step which was making a friendship work with the Greek God she wanted pounce the minute he lay down on her bed.

Ha ha ha, I had you fooled, Percy is single but things are just picking up cause things are about to get interesting so I hope you guys are ready cause how is Annabeth gonna deal being just friends with Percy and don't you just think Rachel is such a slut, she is engaged after all. This is going to be fun. Anyway, I don't know when I will update next because I have been in hospital since not long after the last update. I am healing, just going through rough treatment but I am doing better. I love you and will see you all again soon.
