This is my first fan fiction, so no flames please!

Percy POV

Why Annabeth, why? I asked myself sadly. I felt more and more pain as I thought back to what had happened.

Flashback

I was on Olympus after exiting the elevator because I wanted to ask Athena for Annabeth's hand in marriage, and we were standing in her palace. She isn't the goddess of Architecture for nothing. We were in a massive domed atrium with gold owls imprinted around the dome in a ring. There was a huge hallway that led to a library even bigger than the atrium, and when I say big, I mean big.

"So Perseus, what is it you wanted to ask me?" She asked raising an eyebrow, but I could tell from the gleam in her eyes that she had an idea that I was asking her something pertaining to Annabeth.

"I was wondering if I erm – couldmaybemarryAnnabeth?" I asked extremely quickly, while a red blush showed on my cheeks.

"What was that?" She inquired.

"I was wondering I could have Annabeth's hand in marriage…" I said nervously, looking anywhere but at Athena.

"After all you have done for Olympus, I will… not let you marry her," She said just barely concealing a smirk.

"Oh," I responded dejectedly, and started to walk out of her palace.

"Wait!" She yelled after me. "It was just a joke! Of course you can!" She exclaimed while doubling over.

"Did you just make a joke?" I asked.

"Yeah, Hermes was right, it is hilarious," She said.

Oh brother.

"Anyway, go ahead, get a ring from Hephaestus to propose," She told me seriously, then waving and walking into her library, probably to read a book about architecture.

After that, I walked over to Hephaestus' palace, and I was met with the whirring of machinery and heat that radiated from the structure.

Since he liked me for remembering his son, Charles Beckendorf, he made it for me. It was literally the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Celestial Bronze, and Imperial Gold wrapped around each other, forming the band, and the diamond was grey, with sea green crystals surrounding the diamond. It was perfect. No wonder Hephaestus is the 'Smith of Olympus'.

After thanking Hephaestus profusely, I walked out of his palace and ran into my dad on the way to the elevator.

"Hello my boy!" My father said. "What are you doing on Olympus?" He asked.

"You know the usual. Getting a ring to propose to my girlfriend." I told him sarcastically.

"Well, good luck Percy."

"Thanks, dad."

"See you later," I said bidding him farewell.

After getting back to camp, I immediately felt like something bad was going to happen. I shrugged it off and walked to the big house. Chiron and Dionysus were playing pinochle on the porch.

"Hey Chiron, Mr. D.," I said, nodding to each respectively.

"Hello, Percy." Chiron said, looking up from the game.

"Do you happen to know where Annabeth is?" I asked in Chiron's direction, since Mr. D. wouldn't know, nor care.

"She's at the beach. I presume you're going to propose to her?" He asked giddily.

"Thanks, and yes I am." I responded.

"Good luck, Percy." I gave a thankful nod, and ran off to the beach.

What I saw absolutely horrified me. Annabeth was making out with some blonde kid.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?" I yelled, failing to keep my anger in check. They quickly pulled apart looking panicked.

"U-Umm, it's not what it looks like!" Annabeth shouted frantically.

"OH, REALLY? LAST TIME I CHECKED, I HAD EYES!" I shouted, my anger boiling over at her frantic explanation. Looking back on it, I can't believe I was humorous in that situation. Annabeth looked distraught, but the blonde kid looked smug.

"Well Annabeth, I think we should be going, because this kid just interrupted our make-out session." I didn't notice, but I had a category 5 hurricane swirling around me, and the two suddenly looked terrified.

"Why did you do it Annabeth? I was going to propose to you. I thought I could trust you." I said, whilst pulling out the grey box. Annabeth looked even more distraught after I showed it to her.

"Goodbye, Annabeth," I said, turning away from her.

Time Skip

After I arrived at the Empire State Building, I walked up to the desk.

"GIVE ME THE GODS DAMNED KEY!" I screamed. The guards eyes widened, but he obliged.

Flashback End

In the elevator, it was playing Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.

How fitting? I mused. After I got to Olympus, I looked at the streets sadly. They reminded me of her. Once I got to the throne room, I opened the door quietly and walked in.

"WHO DARES-Oh. Nephew how are you?" Zeus asked

"Terrible, if I'm being honest." I replied while walking to the center of the throne room and kneeling.

"I have a request that some of you will like." I said glancing at Ares.

"We will grant it as long as it's reasonable," Zeus replied. I took a deep breath.

"I wish to die."
