Me: I lied. This is an one-sided pairing chapter.
I feel so ashamed of myself.
On the awesome side, 100 Drabbles in the World of Percy Jackson has over 100 reviews! YEAH!
So it's cool if you suddenly break out into a pathetic show of a dance. You have a legit reason.
This is: Two Roads
I don't own PJO.
Enjoy!
Conner, Annabeth
Summary: As if he even had a chance.
P.S. Second chapter of the day. I uploaded Dying earlier, in case you're wondering.
So yeah, looking down into her cloudy gray eyes was probably a bad choice. This entire conversation was a bad choice. Who were you to think you could ever compare with Percy Jackson? Or even Luke for that matter?
You were just one part of the Camp Half-Blood's pranking team, that constantly irritated her. Hades, all you ever did was just irritate her. How many times had you done something wrong that made her take time away from her best friends (and recently missing boyfriend)? Done something that had cut into her training time, and could have possibly destroyed the camp if not for her quick thinking?
Gods, sometimes you were certain she could do anything.
And for a split second you see her smile a little as if this amuses her. And that hurts.
And you know instantly what Travis would say. Bitch.
But she isn't. Annabeth could never be that. She probably just thinks that this is some joke, or that you don't really love her like you say you do.
After all, you have done this before. You have broken hearts just for the fun of it. And you both know it.
What were you expecting really? For her to just smile and take your hand, promise to marry you, and fly away on Blackjack?
Please. You aren't that desperate.
Right?
But then she shakes her head and the amusement fades from her eyes, to something similar to annoyance you have seen in her face so many times.
She ask if this is a joke. For one split second you start to shake your head, then stop. You have two choices here. Two roads to choose from.
Could you really put up with all the irritated, pitying glances she and Percy (because you know he is going to come back one day and of course she would tell him) would throw at you?
No.
So you laugh, picking the only left option, and says that she knows you too well. You know that the relief spreading across her face will haunt you for the rest of your life.
And dear gods, she way she smiles back at you, if it is only for a second, as she realizes she won't have to break your heart is gut-wrenching.
You watch her walk away, knowing she will never know how much you love her, and wonder if you just let the best moment of your life go.
Me: Okay. Fine. Maybe it is sad. You're point?
Next Chapter: Illusion.
Which is already written, but probably won't be posted until tomorrow.
But guess what? IT ISN'T SAD! Not fluffy, nor intense either. Or funny. Just a brief visit into Percy's mind, whist he is pondering over things.
Reviews are lovely little notes that inspire me to write more!
