I thought I'd update this before I go on vacation. I really really don't want to go because Ugh I hate my step mom.

I really don't know where this is going :P The writer's block is beginning to kick in..

I'm a die hard Liper shipper okay! Soo that's Pipe's boyfriend. Deal wit it. c;

Annabeth's POV

Guilt. I was completely and one hundred percent drowning in my guilt. Had I really just kissed him? While I was engaged? I groaned and screamed into my pillow. Plus, it was more than a kiss. It was a full out make out session while watching a romantic movie and talking about our feelings. It felt good for a while, like I was young again.. But the after shock had sunken in.

I was getting married...

In two weeks...

I was getting married...

Today, I was supposed to go over the menu for the wedding with my close friend Piper McClean. Piper was also supposed to be my maid of honor. I couldn't get cold feet, I had to go through with this. After all, I loved Josh. I wouldn't be marrying him if I didn't love him, right?

I got up and got dressed before Piper got here. I made myself breakfast quickly too. As I was pouring my Lucky Charms into a bowl, there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" I hollered, my voice sounding sore and hoarse. I touched my throat after hearing what didn't sound like me at all.

Piper ran over to give me a hug, "How's the married girl?" I frowned and corrected her, "Almost married girl."

"Whatever. Have you been thinking about the food yet? I'm surprisingly excited to help you. Oh and then we have dress shopping!" Piper had never been to a wedding, and yes, it showed.

I swirled my spoon through the cereal, too queasy to eat it without throwing up. "It's not that big of a deal you know."

Piper raised her eyebrows, "You only get married once Annabeth. Try to sound a little excited! It's a good thing I didn't hire the stripper." Thank you, thank you, thank you for not hiring the stripper.

"Yeah.. I guess you're right. How's Leo?" I questioned, trying to change the subject.

She rolled her eyes, "Doing what Leo Valdez's do best."

"Be weird and annoying?" Piper cackled, "That's half of it." After Jason and Piper broke up, she started going out with Leo. Well actually, it took him about 2 years to admit that he'd always liked her. They sort of had that best friends but turned into lovers thing.

"He's actually building something for you." Piper winked.

"Okay, now I'm scared." Leo had a way with tools, and I was scared what he was working on.

Piper laughed, "Don't worry about it, it's not that bad. It's going to be our wedding present to you." Still scared..

"Alright, I don't know if I can control my excitement now." Sarcasm.. Dun dun dun.

Piper grabbed my hands in an excited manner. "Well I don't know if i can control my excitement about your flipping wedding!"

Back to the wedding.. There really was no escaping this topic was there? Every time she brought it up, I kept mentally comparing Josh and Percy. I was analyzing every perk and every flaw. what was I going to do? Those past days being with Percy and Lily, I could easily imagine spending the rest of my life that way. Living like that, there was no doubt in my mind I'd be happy.

"Annabeth? Earth to Annabeth?" Piper waved her hand in front of me, her kaleidoscope eyes wide. "Oh yeah, sorry uh what did you ask me?" I was a bit out of it today. Just a bit.

"You said you wanted seafood? Right? You had me put that down ages ago." Seafood.. It only made me think back to Percy. Ugh. If only Piper knew what I was going through at the moment. She was my best friend, and best friends share secrets.

"Not sure. But Pipes, I need you to keep a secret for me. A major secret." I was staring directly into her eyes. My dull grey looking into her unique.

She seemed to sense the urgency of the secret, "Yeah.. What is it, Annabeth?" Piper had her full attention on Annabeth now, and if she didn't spill it Piper would never stop nagging her about it.

"I met up with Percy a while ago." I took a deep breath letting that part sink in.

"And..? You guys haven't seen each other in a while, that must have been awkward." She waited for me to finish.. "We kind of hooked up."

Silence. Piper was speechless. That's obviously not what she had expected to hear from an engaged woman. A seemingly happy engaged woman that is.

"I'm having second doubts about the wedding." My voice cracked and Piper soothed the moment with a hug. "That's a pretty big secret to be carrying." She was definitely an understanding friend and I was grateful to have someone as compassionate and willing to listen as Piper.

"Yeah, it is. This past week I realized I might not be ready to get married to Josh. We just kind of lost our spark." It was the easiest way to explain it to anyone. I did love Josh at one point in my life. But it occurred to me our time was up and I had been to blind to see it before.

"What our we going to do about this." Piper shook her head and cracked a smile. Smiling at a time like this? "I always knew you and Percy would end up together."

I smacked her arm, "No jokes. Research what to do. We could always go to a library or something."

"Hopefully How To Call off an Engagement Without Hurting Your Future Spouse Is Available." I rolled my eyes, "Valdez is rubbing off on you."

She shrugged, "And I'm not at all offended."

~0~

Yeah I'm not that impressed with this chapter. It was kind of a filler just to show Annabeth's feelings lol. I'll probably have her breaking up with Josh in the next chapter. I'm not entirely sure though. Charlotte returns? Ah I hate you writer's block. Hopefully I'll come up with something.
