Another Percabeth story.

Annabeth Chase is a superstar and Percy Jackson is the CEO of Jackson's Industry.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

She arrived at the hotel where the event of the Grace's charity event will be held. She's been invited to perform for the said occasion. She easily agreed to it not just because she's both close to the Grace siblings but also she's devoted to helping children.

Her name is Annabeth Chase a renowned international superstar. She's beautiful with her blonde princess curls and striking gray eyes. She's also smart and sexy. She's every bit of the whole package of a superstar. But what she is known for is her talent for singing and composing. She knows how to play the guitar and piano.

She's been in the industry for 3 years now and let's just say that she's still going strong. She's sold millions of her albums and all of her shows were sold out. Everywhere she goes, she's being recognized. Her millions of fans adored her so much. They said that Annabeth Chase has it all but she begs to disagree.

As soon as she set foot out of the car, she was met with flashing lights of camera. Her name was being called from everywhere. They are all very eager to take photos of her and hope to at least interview her. But her manager and her bodyguard insist that she should go straight inside. Some of her fans were calling her name hoping that they can take pictures of her but she just waved at her not wanting to get so much attention since this event is not about her.

Once she's inside she was greeted by the Grace siblings. Thalia went to hug her and kiss her on the cheek and Jason did the same. They thank her again for agreeing to perform for the occasion and it's even for free. Thalia is her best friend and Jason is like a little brother to her.

"Hey." Thalia called her attention as she personally guides her to her dressing room.

"Yeah?" Annabeth asks as she glances at her.

"Thank you for doing this again, I know this must be hard for you…"

"Thalia." Annabeth cuts her. "I told you it's not a big deal it's not like we haven't seen each other for the past two years."

Thalia snorted. "Yeah you guys did but you never said more than two or three words with each other."

Annabeth shrugged her shoulders. "What can we do? He hated me."

Thalia shook her head violently. "You know damn well that's not true."

"It's been two years."

"Yeah well two years of you two in hell for not being with each other." Thalia pointed out.

"I thought we've already talked about this not to bring this up anymore?"

"I know but I can't help it. You guys are so stubborn. Why don't you guys admit it that you belong together and that my stupid, idiot, dumbass cousin needed you in his life."

"He already moved on, didn't he? I've seen a couple of pictures of him with different women.."

"Oh so you're keeping tabs of him?" Thalia smirked.

They've already reach the room and Annabeth plops down on the couch. Allie who's her manager remains silent all throughout the conversation. Even Alejandro, her stylist didn't say anything.

"It's hard not to notice when all the magazines included him." She said sadly and she knows they can hear it in her voice.

"I'm sorry." Thalia apologized. "But I swear those women meant nothing to him."

"Then why? Why is he doing that?" She questioned. "He's been labeled as a heartbreaker, a playboy and other things."

"You know why." Thalia stated. "I'm not blaming you or anything but we all know that he did change when you broke up with him."

Their conversation was interrupted when Jason enters the room.

"Hey sis, they're looking for you. Uncle P, Aunt Sally and Kelsi just arrived."

Thalia scrunched her eyebrows. "Just them? Where's kelp head?"

Annabeth remained unfazed hearing the names of what she used call her family.

"Uncle P said he'll arrive later. They've talked to him a while ago and he said he just arrived at the airport. "

"He better be here for his speech." Thalia threatened.

"Don't worry he'll be here. Uncle P made sure of that." Jason smiled looking at Annabeth.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow at him. Jason chuckled.

"You've got something to say?" She challenged him.

He just shook his head smiling. "I just hope you two can talk this time. I mean really, really talk about between you two."

"Jason." She groaned.

Jason sits beside her, putting his arms around her. "We all know that you guys belong together so why prolonged your agony?"

"Let me remind you that Percy already moved on." She pointed out.

"Nah ah." Jason disagreed. "That's what you think, but that's not the truth. I've known him since birth and believe me when I say that not yet. My stupid cousin is still very much in love with you."

"Ayieee!" Alejandro squealed. "I knew it! You guys really belong with each other."

All heads turn to him.

"Opss." Alejandro smiled shyly. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt. But I just want to say that I truly believed cutie here." He said and winked at Jason.

Jason chuckled. "See even he can tell."

"Just stop." Annabeth groaned. "Shouldn't you two be outside already? Stop suffocating me."

"Hey that's not nice." Thalia pouted. "We're just merely stating the truth. You know how Percy is? He's not good at expressing his feelings. You guys dated for a year and you know how stiff he is. You're the only one who broke his defenses and sadly the one who brought it back."

"Aren't you supposed to be helping her not blaming her?" Jason pointed out to her sister.

"Shut up! I'm not done yet. What I'm trying to say is, Percy's always been too serious about everything and when he met you he totally changed into something that we thought he will never be. And we kind of miss that guy who finally let his defenses down. Being in love with you made him a better person."

"Percy needed you Annabeth. These past two years had been hell to him. Even though he tried to deny it but it is the truth. He went back to being his old self and made it worse by dating women who we knew that he's not really interested off and only uses him for whatever reason."

"Don't you think I don't know that?" Annabeth reasoned out. Tears are beginning to build up in her eyes. "I've made a mistake for breaking things between us and I know damn well that I'm the reason why he changed."

"It's not only your fault, Percy too." Thalia stated. "You know how he first reacted when you started your career. He's never been fond of being the center of attraction even though he will never avoid it by being the son of Poseidon Jackson."

"Percy's been a jerk the way he reacted about all the crazy things that happened from the past and he knows it." Jason pointed out. "I for one is not fond of the attention but with our family it comes with it and Percy knows it. He's just not really good at it. You know him. He'd rather bury himself in the office than to attend any social gatherings."

"But he knows that it comes with my job." Annabeth started. "What do you expect me to do? He didn't even try to talk to me after I broke up with him. He didn't even try to mend the things between us. How can you expect me to do something when he didn't even try to get me back?"

Jason and Thalia shared a look that didn't go unnoticed by Annabeth.

"What is it?" She demanded. "What is it that you're not telling me?"

"Annabeth." Thalia started. "When you broke up with him, he totally shut himself from all of us."

"What do you mean?" She asks. All Annabeth knew was that after she broke up with him, she lost contact with him. She didn't hear any news about him after a couple of months. She's been very busy after their break up so she doesn't have time to ask about him. And back then she thought that Percy didn't love her enough to fight for her.

"Jason and I were not here when you two broke up right?" Thalia asked her. She nodded. The two were in London that time.

"Aunt Sally said that she never knew that you guys broke up because Percy didn't tell her. She only found out when Kelsi asked her if it's true of what she saw on the news. They've tried to personally to ask him but Percy didn't let them see him. A week after you guys broke up Percy flew to Greece and he stayed there for a week with no communication at all."

"By the time he gets back, he's not the same anymore. He went back to his old self and he had looked so bad that Aunt Sally has to force him to see a doctor. He was so depressed that's why we kept him away from the press." Thalia added.

"The doctor said that he should take a vacation far away from everything to be able to start again. And that's what we did. His family took him back to Greece and helps him to be better."

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you about it but it's what his family wants."

"Oh my God!" This time Annabeth is really crying. "I did that to him."

"Hush now." Thalia hugs her. "It's in the past now and Percy moved past that. I can say that there's still a good come out of what happened to him. See he doesn't care about the media anymore. He's more confident I think."

"He's been an ass." Jason stated chuckling. "But there's still a bit of Percy we knew when you two are together, even though he tried to fight it and be the old Percy."

"His family never blames you for anything." Thalia started. "So don't feel sorry about it. Percy deserved the break up for the way he'd been that time. We just didn't think that it will all come to that but nonetheless it did happen and it's up to you if you two will still be an idiot."

"Why is it up to me?" Annabeth retaliated. "Shouldn't he be the one to do something?"

Thalia snorted. "Like you didn't know him, may I remind you that you're the one who made the first move because my stupid cousin can't take a hint."

"Thalia!" Annabeth exclaimed.

"Wow I didn't know that." Allie said the first time.

"Oh." Alejandro teased.

"Believe me, my cousin is still an idiot. I've seen the way he looks at you during those times that you guys attended the same event. Even though you guys didn't talk but I can see how he looks at you lovingly." Jason stated. "I've seen how murderous he looks when he saw you talking to some guys and laughing. And when I pointed out to him, the idiot almost shoved me."

"If you still want him back.. "Thalia started. "Then I suggest do something about it."

"Ms. Thalia, Mr. Jason, they're looking for you." One of the staff interrupted them.

"Oh good gods, I've forget about that. Tell them we'll be out in a sec." Jason instructed.

"We better get going before Dad decided to come get us." Thalia chuckled. She turns to Annabeth. "Think about it. Percy will be here the whole night because he's going to deliver his speech before the event ends."

"Why do I think that you did that on purpose?"

Thalia and Jason smirked. "See you later." The two said before exiting the room.

"So?" Allie started. "What are you going to do about it?"

"I don't know."

"I say you go ahead and claim back what is yours!" Alejandro said cheerfully. "You guys are so perfect for each other."

"Should I believe what Jason and Thalia told me? Does he really still love me?"

"Do you really think that they will lie to you?"

Annabeth shook her head.

"See." Allie pointed out. "You've been so lonely for these past two years Annabeth. Never had I seen you accept any of the dates that has been offered to you and I know it's because you're still hoping that there's still a chance that he will come after you."

"And you heard what Thalia and Jason said." Alejandro added. "Just like Jason said, I truly believed that he's still in love with you even after dating those sluts."

"Alejandro!" Annabeth scolded.

"What?! It's the truth! Those women only dated him because he is rich and gorgeous not because of who he is."

"Alejandro is right, Annabeth. I've seen who Percy becomes when you two are together. He may not understand your work back then but I truly believe that you'll find the way to work it out. You just have to compromise."

"Love is powerful my dear. You just have to believe in it."

The two decided to leave Annabeth alone for a while to get her ready for her performance. She's deep in her thoughts about what they had said to her. Maybe they are right. Maybe she's been just so unfair back then. She should have been more understanding from where he is coming from.

LINEBREAK

Percy arrived at the event and he's already been tired from his flight. Honestly he didn't want to be here, not because he's tired but because he knows that she will be there. He doesn't think that he can handle seeing her for longer this time. Back in the flight, he's already been thinking on how he can avoid her so that he can spare his heart from aching again.

Thalia has threatened him that he will make him suffer if he brings any of the girls he's been dating, like he will do that. He's just going out with those girls to forget her but it didn't do him any good. He's well aware that he's been labeled as a player but he never really care. All he cares is that he'll have to find away to forget her. He's been doing it for the past two years and look where he got, nothing. He's still madly deeply in love with her that it hurt him so much.

He went back to being his old self, the Percy who's cold, stiff, unfriendly, workaholic man that once he is but it didn't really help because he knows he will never be the same again. And it was all because of her. Why does she have to make him fall in love with her and make him change and then dump him because he can't totally understand her work. He's been willing to compromise back then but why the hell she just has to make it end.

Thalia scolded him when he told her that a month after the break up. She encouraged him to tell her what he really feels but back then his heart has been full of hatred. And he knows that he can't handle seeing her because he'll lose his head.

Percy was jolted back to reality when his name was being called from the crowd. There were flashes of camera that hurts his eyes. He won't admit it but he'll never be comfortable with this. He just smiled curtly at the crowd before heading straight to the entrance of the hotel. He was then guided to where his parents are.

He hadn't seen them for a couple of weeks now because he's been traveling a lot. He kisses his mom and sister because giving hug to his father. Jason and Thalia appeared beside him and they greeted him.

"You look exhausted." Jason pointed out.

"I've been traveling a lot and I just got back. I haven't sleep well for the past couple of weeks."

"I know what you mean." Thalia stated. "Business trips really sucks. I just wish we can have some vacation."

"In due time my children." Zeus said as he approached the three. He smiled kindly at Percy. They hug and Zeus excuse himself to talk to Percy's parents.

"Want to eat?" Jason offered to his cousin.

"Nah, I'm still full but I need a drink."

"Hey, remember that you're giving a speech later." Thalia reminded him.

Percy snorted. "Like I'm going to get myself drunk in front of these people."

"Just reminding you."

"Want to join me?" Percy offered.

"Maybe later." Jason said. "We've got a couple of things to attend to and the program has about to start anyway."

"Okay then. I'll talk to you later." Percy proceeded then to the bar at the corner of the room.

Thalia watches him. "He looks so damn tired and lonely."

Jason let out a deep sigh. "I know. Let's just hope that by the end of this day it will change."

She offered him a sad smile before they went to see how everything is going.

The program started and Percy chose to stay at the bar. He's been hit by a couple of women by now but he easily turned them down. There's only one person he wants to be with right now and he knows that she's currently somewhere preparing for her performance.

He's not been sleeping from the past couple of days right after he found out that Annabeth is going to perform on the event wherein he's one of the guests. It didn't also help that his two cousins had been pestering him to talk to her making him believe that she still loves him.

Percy just shrugged it off back then. He reminded them that it's been 2 years since they broke up but those two are so persistent that he wants to rip their head off. He even lied to them that he doesn't love her anymore which ended the two laughing at him.

Maybe he lied. Oh yeah he totally lied because right now he's so nervous as hell that maybe he will forget his prepared speech. What Thalia told him kept playing in his minds over and over again.

"Annabeth never once dated Percy because she still loves you, believe me."

Should he believe her? Should he be man enough to make the first move to approach her? It's been so hard for him without her and God knows how much he misses her. He always felt disgusted going out with those women and every time he slept with them he felt so hollow.

He hated of what he become after the break up. He misses how he used to be him when he was with her. He misses the man he used to be.

His reverie was interrupted when Annabeth's name has been called on the stage. A round of applause was given to her and it's deafening him. He froze when he saw her at the stage. He had not seen her for a couple of months now and yet nothing has changed. She's still beautiful.

He saw her scans the crowd until their eyes met and Percy felt like his whole world has stop. Their gazes lingered a bit before she breaks away because she's about to start her performance.

She started singing and Percy never took away his eyes from her. He caught bits of the lyrics of the song she's singing.

If you see me with another man
Laughing and joking doin' what I can
I won't put you down 'coz I want you around
You can make me whole again

Looking back on where we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Baby, you're the one you still turn me on
You can make me whole again

He caught her looking at him during the song. Could it be that she's telling him something? Could be the song for him? He shook his head for a while clearing his thoughts. He still refused to believe that. He really is an idiot as Thalia said. He drowned himself from the alcohol.

When the song ended, Percy grabs the bottle of liquor from the counter and heads toward the balcony where he can think. He needs to recompose himself or else he'll be a total wreck during his speech.

Annabeth saw him leave the bar and head for the balcony. And she didn't think twice to follow him. She needed to tell him how she still feels about him. She needed to tell him that the song has been written for him because only he can make her whole again. She knew that he's been looking at her throughout her performance and they caught each other's gaze a couple of times. And she's so sure of herself right now that indeed he still loves her too.

Thalia caught her gaze and she knew what she was about to do and she smiled widely at her and mouthed a good luck.

She saw him looking at the horizon. His coat has been laid on one of the chairs. The liquor stands on the center table. Percy's leaning on the railing. His one hand supports himself and the other was clutching the glass so tightly. She can tell that he's been so deep in his thoughts. She's having a second thought if she should approach him or not. But what the hell she thought, it is now or never.

"Mind if I join you?"

She can clearly see that he's not expecting company and she knows that he didn't expect to hear her voice.

He didn't say a thing for a while and he didn't make any move to tell her what she's supposed to do. The air blew and she can't help but to hug herself because of the chill that it sent to her body.

Slowly, Percy turns to her and she can see the emotions building in his eyes.

"Annabeth." He breathes.

Gods, how she misses him saying her name, only he can make her name sound so beautiful.

"Percy."

Percy crossed the distance between them in an instant. Annabeth let out a squeaked as he pulled her in his arms. She never expects him to act like this but she's not complaining because right now Percy is kissing her hard on the lips and she's not backing down from it.

She returns the kisses with so much vigor. She's trying to tell him how much she still loves him.

They didn't know how long they stayed like that but the kisses turns from hard to soft. Percy cups her cheek while her hands are at the back of his neck. In between kisses Percy tells her that he still loves her and that he's so sorry for everything.

Tears started to roll down her cheeks and Percy stops from kissing her so that he can kiss the tears away. He wipes then for her as he lovingly look at her.

"I'm so sorry." He breathes as he kisses her cheeks.

Annabeth hugs him so tight. She laid her head on his chest. He hugs her too as he kisses the top of her head. They stayed like that for a while until she pulls away.

"I'm so sorry too." She started.

"No." Percy cuts her off. "I'm the one who made a mistake. I'm the one who screwed our relationship."

"Percy.."

"No, please listen to me first. I know I've been a bad boyfriend back then."

"Hey, that's not true." She trailed his lips as she said that.

Percy catches her hand and kisses it. "I'm so sorry and I want you to know that I'm willing to change anything just to make you mine again. It's been hell without you beside me." Tears started to flow in his eyes too.

Annabeth tip toed to kiss his lips and wipes the tears away.

"I want us to start over again." He stated. "Will you be my girlfriend again?"

Annabeth smiled widely. "I never thought I will hear that again."

Percy smiled too. "Believe it because it's true. I've been a fool to let you go. And an ass for dating those women but I never stop loving you."

"Only you can make me feel whole again."

Annabeth snorted breaking the moment. "You stole my line."

Percy suddenly laughs. The laugh that Annabeth misses so much. "I intended to do that." He kisses her softly again before resting his forehead with hers.

"So what do you say Annabeth Chase, will you be my girlfriend again?"

Annabeth cups his cheeks and kisses him. "Yes you dork."

Percy picks her up and spun her around. It's the first time he did that. He looks so young and carefree that time and she can't help but to feel so lucky to see this side of him. Well she's been so lucky in so many things now.

Once he puts her down, he hug her again murmuring in her ears how lucky he is to be with her and that he really, really loves her. And in return she told him how much she loves him too.

"I love you Percy Jackson and there's no one else who can replace you in my heart."

They were kissing again when they were interrupted by a cough. They pulled away slightly to see who it is and they were met with Jason's secretary.

She looks so uncomfortable as she says that they're looking for Percy because he'll be up soon on the stage. She excused herself after that and hurriedly went back inside.

The two lovers laugh as they watch her go. They shared some kisses more before finally decided to go back inside.

Annabeth fixed his shirt as he put his coat back on. He kisses her once again before offering his hand to her.

Hand in hand they went back inside and they can see the different reactions of the people in the party. They were all aware that the two used to date and seeing the smile on their faces and their intertwined hands they know that they got back together.

Cameras were turned to them as they made their way to their table wherein Percy's family was seated. Annabeth smiled at them and they returned it too. She can tell that they were happy for them.

Percy's smile never leaves his face until he was called on the stage. They were all too shock to see Percy kissed Annabeth on the lips before he went to the stage. He's never been one to show affection in front of a crowd but maybe this time he's very much willing to change that. Because this time he's willing to show the world how in love he is to Annabeth Chase.

I'm thinking about doing another chapter. Let me know what you think.

Review is very much appreciated.
