Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I donut own Percy Jackson. (I had a donut for breakfast)

Alright, Chapter 6, as promised

THIS IS IN ANNABETH'S POV, BTW!

We're gonna flashback a little, to the day after Annabeth bumped into Percy!

I woke up, rubbing my temple. As she got up, Annabeth caught her reflection in her mirror and gasped.

Both of her eyes were grey.

"PIPER!" she screamed in terror.

"ANNA?! ANNABETH? WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE IS THE ROBBER?! ROBBER, IF YOU LAY A SINGLE FINGER ON MY BEST FRIEND, I WILL-" Piper ranted

"PIPER! JUST SHUT UP AND GET OVER HERE!" Annabeth yelled.

Piper charged into the room with a butter knife in her hand, her eyes searching for the threat.

"Where is he, Beth? I'm prepared to kill him." Piper whispered.

I walked over to Piper and took the butter knife out of her hand.

"With a butter knife?" Annabeth chuckled. "There's no robber, Pipes. It's-"

A soft gasp escaped from Piper's mouth. "Anna, your eyes-"

"Are the same color. I know. I'm gonna go schedule an appointment with the eye doctor, find out why."

Almost an hour later, Annabeth was called into Dr. Solace's office. They ran through all of the tests and procedures that any eye doctor could do on a patient.

"Well, Annabeth," Dr. Solace said, with a stack of papers in his hand which were probably all of Annabeth's reports. "Good news, all of your results have come out with nothing. Now, you say that you woke up this morning with both of your eyes grey?"

"Yes. I was diagnosed with Heterochromia iridum at a young age." Annabeth replied quietly.

"Did you meet someone for the first time yesterday?" Dr. Solace asked.

Annabeth's mind flashed back to yesterday. "Um, yes. Percy Jackson."

"Does he have sea green eyes?"

"I didn't look. . .what does this have to-" Annabeth suddenly realized something.

"I'm sorry, Doctor. I have somewhere I need to be." Annabeth ran out of the room and into the car. She drove to the 5 Towers and stayed in the car and sobbed. Was Percy really her soulmate? But she hadn't even known him that long. Plus, she was dating Luke Castellan. Sure, they argued, but every couple had their ups and downs. And Annabeth loved Luke. Not Percy. She refused to believe that Percy Jackson was her soulmate. She didn't believe in soulmates and would never believe in them. She hastily mopped her eyes and headed into the her apartment.

Piper was placing pasta in some porcelain bowls "So what'd the doctor say?"

Annabeth sat down as Piper slid a bowl of pasta in front of her. "He says it's because I met my soulmate yesterday"

"Who did you meet. . ." she trailed off. "Wait a minute! Percy Jackson is your soulmate. No freaking way! I have to start planning your wedding. It'll-"

"Hold your horses, Piper! I'm not gonna marry him." Annabeth said as she twirled her fork around in her pasta.

Piper's brow furrowed. "You don't believe in marriage?"

"What I don't believe in is soulmates. Percy is not my soulmate. I'm not in love with him and never will be, okay? I'm in love with Luke Castellan!" Annabeth's voice rose to a yell.

"Um, I think you're gonna have to say that a little louder. I don't think the people in Australia heard you." Piper muttered.

"Whatever. I am not in love with Percy Jackson." Annabeth retorted.

Present day

After her embarrassing fight with Luke, Annabeth decided to hide in her house. Piper was doing an interview, so she was alone in her apartment. Suddenly, her doorbell rang. She jumped up, hoping it was Percy. Instead, it was the icy blue eyes of Luke Castellan.

"Hey Luke," Annabeth tried to sound cheerful.

"Hey, babe." Luke came in and closed the door. He put his hands on Annabeth's waist and started to pull her in, but Annabeth pushed away.

"I need to talk to you." Annabeth said nervously.

"Okay," he replied. Annabeth led him to the couch.

"I guess there's no easier way to say this. You and me," Annabeth took in a shaky breath. "are not working out. It's just not going the way I intended."

Luke had a sharp gaze as he spoke, "You're breaking up with me?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Annabeth said in an equally cold tone.

"I can't believe you. I thought we had something here." Luke said.

"Believe me?! What are you talking about?! You didn't see this coming, Luke? We've been arguing so much lately. You don't even give a crap about me! It was about time somebody ended this relationship!" Annabeth yelled.

"Can I ask you something. Was this relationship important to you. Did you think it was worth it?" Luke asked.

"No, it was never worth it. I shouldn't have ever dated you. Get out." Annabeth said in a harsh tone.

"Excuse me?" Luke said.

"Get out!"

At once, Luke got up and left, the door shutting with a slam. After he left, Annabeth sobbed, sobbed, sobbed, ate ice cream, and then sobbed some more.

A few hours later, Piper came in.

"Hey, Anna! Look what I picked up for you! Taco Bell!" Piper said. "Beth, what happened? Why are you crying so much."

"I-I broke u-up with-" Annabeth stopped as another sob overtook her.

Piper, with worry in her eyes, climbed onto the couch and hugged Annabeth.

"It'll be okay, I promise."

DUN DUN DUUUNNNN! Anyways, happy Friday!
