Percy Jackson sat on the couch with his girlfriend Drew. They were both nineteen and had been dating for two months. She was way more into the relationship then he was though. But he had a good reason for that.
Annabeth Chase.
She was Percy's best friend, and first love. They never dated, but he was in love with her. And the summer of their last year in elementary (6th grade) they bonded. It seemed that whole summer was about love. Everything was going so great, Percy went on a weeklong vacation with his mom, and when he came back, she was gone.
Percy had gone over to the Chase household to ask where she was, but they wouldn't tell him. They told him that she wanted to leave, and they had gotten specific instructions to tell no one where she was.
He was heartbroken. And on some days he'd find himself thinking about her. He missed her like crazy, and hoped that one day she'd come back, that way he'd at least know how she was.
"Percy, we should go over to Nico and Thalia's!" Drew exclaimed as she got up and put her shoes on, never giving him time to even say yes or no. He really didn't want to go anywhere. But, did he ever really have a choice with Drew?
Drew Swan was a Beach Blonde, with deep blue eyes, an awful personality, and was the daughter of Aphrodite. No one understood why Percy was with her.
He got his shoes on as Drew dragged him out the door.
Thalia walked around the grocery store, looking for things to make for dinner. She was clicking her pin, and thinking really hard, until she heard a familiar voice speaking. It was a voice she hadn't heard in a long time.
"Okay. Yes. I got it. Yes. How is she? Sleeping? Great I'll be home in just a few minutes. I'm still picking up your groceries. I'm glad to be back." The voice said.
The Goth walked to the next aisle over, and saw a tall blonde woman looking at vegetables. "Annabeth?" She questioned.
The tall woman turned. "Thalia Grace?" She asked with a smile. Thalia nodded and ran up to her, anger rising inside her.
"How dare you show your face back here again?" The goth spit out. Annabeth gave her a confused look.
"What the?" She said angrily.
"You broke Percy's heart, and now you're back again. I swear, if you even try to talk to him, I will make you have nightmares." Thalia threatened.
"I thought you were my best friend and I had to leave. I didn't mean to break his heart. I was doing what was best for me….. Us." Annabeth whispered remembering they were in a grocery store.
"What's that supposed to mean?" The Goth questioned.
"It means that I was doing something for myself." She answered.
Thalia rolled her eyes. "And just not caring about anyone else? He loved you. And still does." She shook her head in disgust.
The blonde girl's eyes were brimming with tears. "You don't understand. I was fifteen and scared." She shot back.
The Goth stared her down, until she saw a truth in the girl's eyes. She had honestly been scared. "Why were you scared?" Thalia asked gently.
"I was sixteen and pregnant. You would've been scared to." She answered.
Thalia looked stunned. "Do you want to go somewhere and talk?" She suggested.
Annabeth looked like she was thinking, then nodded. "Sure, meet me at the old coffee shop in an hour." She agreed.
Exactly an hour later Thalia met her at the old coffee shop. She smiled when she saw Annabeth sitting at booth, next to a little girl.
"Hey." Thalia greeted.
"Hello." She Answered back, and motioned for her to take a seat.
"Care to tell me now?" The Goth asked.
"What do you want to know?" Annabeth questioned.
