Chapter 1

Okay peoples. This will be my first Percabeth story, so wish me luck. I had done a vampire diaries story and one house of night, however I didn't get many reviews, and I was going through something at the time so I wasn't able to update as much. I'm still not sure if I will continue those stories. But hey! The future holds many surprises. Like for this happy couple, well let's see…

Disclaimer: so get this, there's this guy, he's called Rick Riordan, and I'm not him! *sob

So background: this is after the giant war. They got back to Camp Half-Blood and they are throwing a huge party for the hero's.

Annabeth's POV:

I tried to have a good time, just… I couldn't. Images kept coming back to me. All my scars were now fading away thanks to Chiron's healing. I didn't feel in the partying mood. I just wanted to crawl up into a little ball and stay hidden from any monster who wanted to get me. I winced as I got a quick flash of some of the hideous things that Percy and I saw. I felt arms wrap around my waist from behind.

The motion took me by surprise and I acted quickly. I grabbed their arm and spun. I easily was able to twist their arm and flip them over with the training I had. But when I saw the face of the culprit who had startled me, I felt sorry. It wasn't a monster, just the one who battled them with me. It was Percy.

Everyone's eyes were on us now. I bent down whispering apologetic terms to him. "Wise Girl, Wise Girl, Wise Girl!" he said cutting off my ranting apologies. He sat up to look at me better. His eyes looked sad, lost, full of pain. I'm pretty sure my eyes looked like that too. Tartarus was hard. That pain will never fully go away.

Tears now rimmed my eyes. I never meant to hurt Percy. It made my heart break a little. But when I looked into his eyes, I winced. They had a ghostly feel to them now. They reminded me of Tartarus. I remember they were the only color I had down there.

Now it just reminded me of our time in that pit. "Listen, it's okay. I know how you feel." I felt sortta self-conscious with everyone's eyes on us. I didn't like for people to think of me as weak after my certain, ahem, trip. Because truth of the matter fact is that I'm not weak. So what if I had a broken ankle, this didn't stop me from kicking some monster ass! Down there with Percy just made it worse. I had always felt responsible for him down there.

It was my fault he fell. If I hadn't been stupid enough to get my foot stuck, he wouldn't have had to fall with me. Percy and I sat there on the floor, looking into each other's eyes. Finally Chiron came and got everyone to leave. The rest of the night went pretty eventless. We were praised by all our camp members, and we were to always remember this how heroic we were to face the giants and such.

Piper and Jason were going to figure out a way to let their relationship work, even though Reyna wants him at Camp Jupiter to be Praetor with her. You know since it was obvious that Percy wouldn't be their Praetor anymore. Hazel and Frank were staying in the Big House, since they were here for the celebration and would soon be leaving to the other camp. Leo was trying to hit on every girl he saw, but he ended up making a fool of himself when he accidently slipped and landed on the table with all the food on it. He ended up soaked from the punch. He even had the bowl on his head! Haha good times….

Towards the end of the night, Percy and I snuck away to the beach, wanting to get away from the crowd. We held hands and walked along the shore, letting our feet get wet. He spoke something about how he planned on visiting his mother. I wasn't really listening. My heart wasn't in it, and by the look of Percy's face, neither was his. "Percy," I cut off what he was saying.

He looked at me with those green eyes that now had so much sorrow in them. "Listen. I see the way you get sad whenever you look at me-" he tried to cut me off, but I held up my hand to silence him. "Please let me finish. I think we both feel the same way, and that's okay, we can get through this. I believe in us. Maybe we should just try to get some space between each other so that we don't always feel so sad."

He had fury in his eyes. He didn't like what I had just said. "So what? You think we shouldn't be together?!" he was shouting now. "That's it? I save your sorry ass who knows how many times and you just want to get away? Do you finally think like your mom? She's behind this isn't she? She convinced you I wasn't good enough!"
my eyes were rimmed with tears. But he went too far. "Fine! I'm sick and tired of this Percy! What do you expect me to do? Huh?! I cant be the only one here that wants this relationship to work. I was saying we should catch a breather not break up, but since it seems that's what you want fine! Maybe we should!" I was about to walk away, but he yelled out.

"Excuse me miss 'I'm so perfect' but I did want this to work. Okay, finally for once Ms. Know-it-all doesn't know what to do! Shocker! Finally we prove that she's nothing but a dumb blonde!" my eyes were shedding tears now like the dam broke and was letting all the water out. I was about to speak, but this time he cut me off. "No! Now it's my turn to speak! You think I didn't want this relationship to work? You were the one that hardly had time for me because of that stupid Olympus rebuild! And-"

I heard enough so I didn't wait and I spoke. My voice now filled with hate. "Seriously, you're not everything Percy. Stop being so full of yourself! I had a job to do, actual responsibilities! Not that you would know anything about that!" It looked like steam was coming out of his ears and nose from md he was now.

"Me? so full of myself? You're the one who thinks she's oh-so perfect that she can do anything since your fatal flaw is pride!" He had leaks on his face too. "you know I should have left you in Tartarus!"

"Then why didn't you huh?! You had plenty of chances before!" He was quick to remark now

"Argh! I can't believe I ever would think about dating you! It's over!"

`"Fine! Just what I want, to get away from you!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

We walked in separate directions. When I got to my cabin, I turned and faced the wall, not bothering to change. And I silently cried myself to sleep, hoping no one noticed.

Okay sorry if this is short, but well, there will be more. Tell me what you think. And don't worry this will be percabeth. Just getting to a start. I hoped you liked. I will ttry to update as much as possible kay? Alright well until I write for you again! Bye!
