Chapter 11: The aftermath Part IV: Annabeth's guilt

The huntresses have come back from a day of training. Today was a series of sparing sessions. These were days were they could relax a bit and not worry about a long mission. Annabeth sat down on the ground and sighed. She had adjusted well to being a huntress but at times she missed Camp Half Blood but Annabeth was content with being a huntress. "Hey Beth" Talia Grace greeted her. Annabeth looked up and half-heartedly waved. Talia sat beside her on the ground. "What's wrong?" Talia asked worriedly. Annabeth shook her head. "Come on, I can feel that something is bothering you, so spill" Talia said.

Annabeth sighed" It's just that I can't believe that I'm hear y'know. Away from Percy . . ." "You miss him" Talia said. Annabeth nodded" I just can't believe that we are not together. I mean I always knew he was gay but I thought maybe in a way he could bury those feelings. I don't think that way now but I did. But I thought that way because . . ." "You were grieving over Luke and here is a guy who was confused and scared by who he was and that maybe you guys could help each other" Talia suggested. "Yeah" Annabeth sighed. "I used him to get over Luke and he used me to hide his true self. We were enabling each other and that was wrong so I had to end that hopeless façade but I am hurt by it and I hurt him too" She continued. Talia hugged Annabeth," You did the right thing and that's all you can do. Don't worry about it, you will forgive yourself in time and I'm sure he has no ill feeling of you. You are his best friend" Talia said with no hint of doubt. Annabeth sighed as she and Talia went to go eat lunch with the rest of the huntresses.

A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the VERY long wait. Please read the chapter titles so you know what chapter you are actually reading. It was a mistake I did a long time ago. I had tried to fix all grammatical errors I had found within the chapter I had uploaded
