Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson

This is back in Percy's POV again!

Alrighty, chapter 7

"Guess who just broke up?" Jason asked, looking at his phone.

"Liza and David? LaurDIY and Alex Wassabi?" Percy replied.

Jason chuckled as he looked up. "Ha, no. Annabeth and Luke."

"Wait. . .what?!" Percy exclaimed, happy because he had a chance at Annabeth, sad because Annabeth was probably in a horrible state right now.

"Yeah, Pipes texted me. . ." he trailed off as a ding! Sounded on his phone. "And Annabeth wants you to come over because Piper is going to the studio and Annabeth doesn't wanna be alone."

Percy got his phone to find a text from Piper with her (and Annabeth's) apartment number & Annabeth's go-to Starbucks drink.. He put on some shoes and went downstairs. After picking up a Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino from the Tower 4 Starbucks, he headed up the elevator to Annabeth's floor. He rang the fancy doorbell and a very serious looking Piper stood there.

"Vanilla Bean?" she asked. Percy nodded.

Piper sighed. "Alright, listen carefully. She's super sensitive right now. Don't mention Luke unless you wanna be murdered."

"Yeah, I think I won't mention him." Percy said.

"Just be with her. Don't try comforting her. She just want someone with her right now, that's all. Just watch a couple movies with her. Popcorn should be lightly buttered. And don't forget the Sour Patch. Got it?"

"Yes, ma'am." Percy replied as Piper smiled faintly.

"Well, good luck." Piper said walking out.

"Thanks," Percy said as he walked in and shut the door. He slowly walked to the living room to find Annabeth on Snapchat, sending streaks to people.

"Hey, Percy." she sniffled.

Percy carefully recited the sentence in his head before speaking out loud. "Hey, Annabeth. What do you wanna do?"

"I just wanna watch Netflix. Is that okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, sure. What do you wanna watch?" Percy said.

"I dunno. What do you wanna watch?" Annabeth said, sending the last of her streaks.

"Can I admit something. . .weird?" Percy replied as he sat down next to Annabeth.

Annabeth looked down at her hands. "Sure."

"What if I told you my Netflix account history is filled with rom-coms?" Percy admitted, turning red.

Annabeth tried to cover her mouth to stifle a giggle, but she failed to do so as she exploded in laughter a few seconds later.

"You. . .watch-" Annabeth nearly fell on the floor laughing.

After Annabeth finally choked up the last of her laughter, she asked, "Well, what rom-com do you wanna watch?"

"To All the Boys I've Loved Before." Percy said. "Have you watched it?"

"No." Annabeth said as she opened a Sour Patch packet.

"Wait! You gotta save it for the movie!" Percy tells her as she starts laughing again.

"Alright To All the Boys I've Loved Before it is." Annabeth replies. "I'm just gonna use the bathroom real quick."

"Okay, I'll pop the popcorn until then." Percy replies, as the two of them get up. After Annabeth used the bathroom (and washed her hands) and Percy popped the popcorn, they both sat on the couch and started the movie. They shared the blanket, popcorn, and candy. After numerous squeals, sighs, and exclamations of outrage, ("How could you, Peter?!"), they fell back in a satisfactory pose.

"I still think Josh and Lara Jean would've made a better couple."

Annabeth stood up in shock, a murderous gleam in her eyes.

"What," she hissed, "did you just say?"

Percy grinned and held up his hands in mock surrender. "I'm just saying, they made a much better couple!"

Annabeth threw a pillow at him. "Excuse you, Seaweed Brain! You wouldn't know, because they're not a couple! Peter and Lara Jean belong together!"

Percy caught the pillow and threw back to Annabeth, throwing a handful of popcorn along with it. He heard a gasp from behind the pillow, and before he knew what was happening, the entire bucket was dumped on his head by a laughing Annabeth.

He growled and caught her around the waist so she wouldn't be able to escape.

"Let go of me!" she giggled. Percy lifted the box of Sour Patch threateningly over her head. Annabeth screamed and knocked it out of his hands, causing Percy to lose his footing. 'They landed on top of each other on the couch.

Percy gulped. His face was inches from Annabeth's, and all he could see were her stormy gray eyes swirling around her irises.

"Hey, Percy," she whispered. He felt his heart thump against his chest as he tucked a piece of hair behind her ears. He smiled softly back at her, causing Annabeth's heart to flutter and her cheeks to flush pink.

"Hey, Anna."

Abandoning all rational thought, Percy leaned forward and Annabeth's eyes fluttered shut. Just as they couldn't get any closer, Annabeth's door flew open.

It was Luke.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! PSYCH! This chapter was half written by Parvati, since Padma was too lazy to lift her butt off the bed. I took the reins and decide to post the chapter today, and sorry for the delay and the plot twist. Leave reviews on what should happen next!
