Epilogue

The next day and the day after that happened in a blur. I remember the face of dad's coworkers, friends and family in our house, the trip to the cemetery and my mom breaking down in loud screams over my dad's coffin.

After the funeral, mom and Annabeth fought like never before. Then Annabeth packed everything. My mom made perfectly clear that she was no longer welcome in this house. My sister packed quickly. She didn't have a lot of things here anyway, just a big backpack with everything inside.

Bobby and I stayed on the doorway waiting for her. Percy was already outside waiting. Annabeth hugged us and we all were in tears.

"I love you, Annie" I said as I wiped my tears.

"I love you too, Bobby, Matthew. You won't see me again. I cannot let anything happen to you because of me. We already lost dad because of me. I should have never stayed so long" said Annabeth and sniffed.

"But sister…" said Bobby.

"Sorry, boys. This is goodbye" said Annabeth and kissed our foreheads for one last time. She walked to Percy and they rode a black winged horse flying away. Soon, they were out of sight.

Annabeth walked out of our lives. I watched her disappeared in the distance and I never saw her again. I could only hope she got married and had kids and grandkids. I could only hope she didn't die young.
