Prologue

Yet one day and then I would return to Camp Half-Blood. I was really looking forward to seeing my friends again. After this boring year in San Francisco at a school where I already knew everything they were trying to teach me.
But I was also very nervous, I would see Percy again. My ex-boyfriend and because of that also my ex-best friend. I ruined everything. Last year before I left Camp Half-Blood I broke up with him because I was afraid that he would let me down eventually. I hated myself for this, but so many people I closed in my heart, let me down after a while. Because of this I became very closed. I opened up only for people who I totally trusted. Percy was and still is one of them, but I ruined it. He was devastated when I broke up with him. I had never been so broken in my whole life. Although I hated myself for this decision, live goes and, and I pretended not to be in love with him. That's what I said to him when I broke up with him. It was a complete lie. Every night the image of his broken face returned on my retina, every night I dreamed about his lips on mine. I cried myself to sleep, only to wake up again in the middle of the night crying again. I knew it was my entire fault but I hurt so badly. I wanted to make things right again though I didn't know if he would forgive me after everything I put him through. I had not heard anything from him all year, I was nervous to see him again but also glad that I wouldn't be so far apart from him. I hoped with all my heart that everything would turn out right again, how wrong was I.

Annabeth POV

When I walked up half-blood hill I saw Thalia waiting for me at the entrance. I started running toward her, that wasn't a very cleaver idea for a child of Athena with three suitcase's in my hands. I stumbled over them and my face hit the ground, luckily not very hard.

Thalia ran to me laughing and pulled me up. I also started laughing at my dumb arrival. It felt good to laugh again, it had been such a long time ago since I laughed like this.

Thalia hugged me and took one suitcase. We began walking to my cabin.

"Annabeth, how are you?" she asked carefully

"Well uhh I've been better"

"Still Percy?"

"Yeah, I'll tell you everything later." I said while I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I swallowed then away and put on my brave face.

"But one thing I know for sure, I'm going to make things right again between him and me, because I can't handle this anymore."

"Err, Annabeth there's something I have to tell you first" Thalia said sceptical.

"What is it Thal?"

"Annabeth, how wonderful to see you again!" Chiron interrupted us from the porch of the Big House

"Anna, I'll put your things in your cabin, go talk with Chiron, We'll talk again after you've finished with Chiron."

I gave her a grateful look and ran towards Chiron, hugged him and started talking with him about the things that happened last year.

After my talk with Chiron I ran fast to my cabin. I wasn't looking where I was running, I was to focused on going to Thalia as fast as I could, wondering what she wanted to tell me.
Suddenly I bumped into someone. We both fell on the ground.

"O my gods, I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking were I was going" I said apologizing while I was getting up.

"It's okay" the person on the ground said.

Oo no, I recognized that voice way to good. When I finally looked at the person who I ran into my heart skipped a beat.

"Percy"

His expression changed from curious into ice cold.

"Hi Annabeth" he said crude.

I pretended like I didn't hear the way he said it, and offered him my hand to help him up.

He ignored it and jumped to his feet without giving me a second glance.

Suddenly I heard someone call: "Percy, honeeeey where are you?"

He signed.

"I'm here Leane"

I swore I saw a gust of irritation on his face. Then his glance changed into the ice cold glance from before.

"This is Leane, daughter of Aphrodite, my girlfriend"

My mouth fell open and a lump formed in my throat. Tears welled up in my eyes, I tried to hide them but I failed. A tear worked his way across my cheek.

He looked shocked at my reaction but then he turned into the cold guy again, like he had to remind himself of the fact that he didn't care.

The tears started running faster now; I didn't want him to see, so ran away as fast as I could.

I broke down, and collapsed on Thalia's bed. The silent tears turned into hard sobs.

The door opened and Thalia came in. She took me in her arms and I cried into her shirt.

When I calmed down a little I started talking.

"That's what ….. you were trying… t-to tell earlier this morning, h-he has ….. a-a new … girlfriend" I said halting.

"Yes, I didn't want you to find out like this. I don't understand him, when I IM'ed him two weeks ago, he said he was still not over it, and that he probably would never get over it. He was truly in love with you, Annabeth. I understand why you did though. But I'm here for you and together we will figure it out. I might not be a daughter of Aphrodite but I know for sure that you two are meant to be. He still cares for you Annabeth, he's hurt so he pretends to be angry at you, but he still loves you."

"He loves me? No, he doesn't he never said that. Why in Hades would he still love me after everything I put him through? Why does he have a new girlfriend then? I ruined everything"

After I said that I broke into tears again. Thalia didn't know what to say anymore, she knew that nothing would cheer my up so she just hugged me tight.

The door flew open. Percy stared at us in shock.

"Thalia! Ooh uh.. I'm interrupting… I uhh…came to see Thalia but I'll come back uhhh… later"

Percy POV

After my meeting with Annabeth I was confused. Why did I see a tear running down her cheek? Or was it just my imagination?

I said to Leane that I needed some time to think. I guessed she understood why, being a daughter of Aphrodite and all. I think she also knew about my true feelings for Annabeth.

Yes, I still have feelings for her, but I was also very angry at her. No not angry at her actually, angry about how she made me feel after she broke up with me. I knew I didn't make any sense but at least I had someone to blame for how I felt, so useless, alone, broken and the light that used to shine in my eyes isn't there anymore. I still felt this way, without her I'm noting, I really loved her, though I had never said it to her, I was to afraid she didn't feel the same. I'm a coward. I still love her. But I was with Leane to make her jealous. I knew I'm using her, she is a great girl but I didn't feel anything for her. I tried very hard to forget Annabeth and go on with my life, I had no use. Not a day goes by without missing her.

Arghh, I was so confused. She really hurt me by breaking up with me, but I also understood why she did it. She wasn't in love with my anymore.

But I swore I saw a tear running down her cheek this morning.

My head was going to explode. I desperately needed to talk to some one.

I decided to go to Thalia. I ran to her cabin and pushed hard against the door, it flew open.

"Thalia!" I said loudly. Then I saw Thalia wasn't alone, she had Annabeth in her arm. The thing that shocked me most, was that Annabeth was crying. She hardly every cried.

"Ooh uh.. I'm interrupting… I uhh…came to see Thalia but I'll come back uhhh… later"

With that I turned and ran away as fast as I could.

What the Hades, now my head was really going to explode, Annabeth crying?

I didn't know for sure why she was crying, but I guess it was because of me. I wasn't completely blind. WAIT! Why was she crying, she was the one who broke up with me, she was the reason for how I was feeling. And now she was crying there like she had a hard time.

I was getting angrier by the minute. But then I remembered the way she looked at me, her beautiful grey eyes so sad, like there was no life in there. It reminded me of something.

I watched in the mirror in my cabin. My eyes looked like…like Annabeth's I realised in shock. Not the colour of course but the expression. I couldn't take it anymore and ran to the only place that gave me peace and rest, the beach. I ran to the jetty and jumped in,

I didn't come to the surface again untill the dinner bell rang.
