Not a one-shot! Oh and I know there is terrible OOC in this but keep with me! -Aims :D

It wasn't fun. Breaking someone's heart in the process of breaking your own. It's not easy, I guess it would be stupid to ever think otherwise. But standing there watching him go as I looked over what I had done was my point of breaking. I wanted to just fall apart into a million pieces, my heart was so confused and raw from being cracked into pieces that not even Aphrodite could help me now.

I never knew Ryan could have felt that. I never knew that one of my best friends could have loved me like that and... and not have told me or even given me the faintest of signs.

"Annabeth I need to talk to you." He had said to me. We were walking back to the our cabins after the bonfire and sing-a-long. It was humid outside that night and we were sweaty and fanning our self's with our hands. It was a dark night, no stars and the moon was just a sliver thick.

"Is it about that new cabin for Nike? Because I have the plans in my cabin, do you want me to go get them?" I had asked. Ryan, son of Hephaestus was the only one I could talk about architecture with and not bore him to death.

"No, Annabeth-" He began to say.

"Ryan, don't sweat it I'll get them now."

I turned to walk to my cabin which we were right behind, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his chest. Almost immediately he crushed his lips on mine. At first I drew back but he kept on coming and then I ended up smashing my lips against his as well. I was kissing him back. He slammed me against a wall, probably a cabin, which one I'm not sure, I didn't care I was to lost in the moment. Reality wasn't coming to me, I was to busy keeping my lips on Ryan's. I wrapped my legs around him and he broke off, "Annabeth, I love you." He kept kissing me and I kept kissing him. It was passionate, it was real. I never answered him. I didn't have anything to say. Whatever I was feeling was coming from my lips that were spilling as if they were holding back for a long time. I honestly couldn't control myself.

I was kissing Ryan, one of my best friends, and I couldn't stop. I liked it. I wanted more. More of Ryan, more of, well, you know, him. I laced my hands in his shaggy brown hair and pulled him closer.

It wasn't until I felt Ryan's hand inch underneath my shirt did I snap. I could feel another pair of eyes watching this that wasn't ours. "Stop." I said forcefully. Ryan stopped but not without hesitation. I was breathing hard. I pushed Ryan off of my body once I unwrapped my legs. I was thinking of only two things then: Ryan had kissed me and told me he loved me, and I had kissed him back, like really kissed him back, that was a kiss worthy of the movies. And one name made my heart sink into itself, Percy.

"Why didn't you ever tell me sooner?" I said looking at his chest. Ryan was way taller than me.

We had known each other and been amazing friends for three years now. I never saw it before like this but I was always with Percy...

"You know why." He whispered putting his forehead against mine.

"I still had the right to know." I murmured.

Softly he kissed me again but I pulled back. "Ryan. I can't." I looked up at him with sorry eyes full with dread.

"You just did." He fought.

"Yeah but-"

"But what? Don't tell me that you didn't feel that Annabeth, if you didn't my nose would be broken."

"The logical answer to this would be that my emotions-"

"Oh bull shit and you know it."

"You caught me off guard and that wasn't fair."

"We both know that's not true. I kissed you and you kissed me back." Again he kissed me, but more forcefully this time.

I shoved him off of me, "Ryan! I've had enough."

He pushed off the wall setting me free, "Fine, but now that you know, now that you know how much I love you, you'll want more and you know it."

Ryan walked off to his cabin leaving me alone behind my cabin. Or so I thought. I looked to the left to find Conner Stoll looking strait at me. His brow was furrowed and he seemed a bit mad, confused, and shocked.

"Conner it's-"

"It's not what it looks like. That's what Travis told me when I caught him and Katie even though he knew I really liked her. Look at them now. I think what you mean is that it is what it looks like." He told me as if he were staring into some distant memory.

I took a step closer. "You know what I'm going to do right?" He asked.

My eyes teared up and I nodded. "Good," He said.

As I watched him run off I realized that it was rare to see a Stoll so serious, I was in big trouble, and the only way I could fix it was to face Percy. I slowly walked to the front of my cabin, tears streaked my face uncontrollably now. What had I done? I saw Conner enter the Poseidon cabin that already had it's lights off signaling that Percy was already asleep but they flipped on. I was doomed.

After staring at the cabin's light's I walked up the stairs of the porch and sat on the rocking chair in front of my cabin, put my face in my hands and cried my eyes out. My life was ruined in little more than ten minutes. I'm suppose to be wise. My mother granted me the permission to love Percy as long as I wanted, and now she's probably frowning upon me

thinking that I never truly had feelings for Percy. But I do, stronger than I've ever felt.

It didn't take long for my brothers and sisters to realize I was weeping on the porch, Ally, a sister my age came out to comfort me. I couldn't tell her what happened, I didn't need the gossip, I need to see Percy. My eyes were glued on the door of Percy's cabin, waiting for Conner to come out. But why should I wait? I stood up, eye's still stinging with tears.

"Ally, I'll tell you everything later. I need to finish something now." Ally nodded to me and went back inside. I could hear everyone asking her questions like what was wrong with me or if I was just being hormonal.

As I walked to Percy's cabin I wondered what I was going to say, what his reaction would be. Would he be mad? Would he be crying? Would he give me the silent treatment? Would he just forgive me, though I doubt he will? Percy is never exactly easy to read most of the time, he's like the ocean. Like his dad. You just never know. Half the time I don't think he knows either.

Suddenly I was there, at the door of his cabin, it wasn't a long walk but I was expecting it to be long and agonizing. But I was there, ready to knock, ready to face the music. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

There he was sitting on the side on his bed, hands laced together. Shirtless, of course, he never slept with a shirt on, just his boxers. Conner, still looking shocked, was standing in the entry and looked at me when I came in.

"Conner you should go." Percy said, his voice sounding broken.

Conner left and Percy walked over to me, I couldn't look at him, not in the eyes anyway. He lifted my chin surprisingly calm. He sea green eyes bore into mine. To his left was the light switch which he flipped off. I would say it was pitch black but the light from his fountain next to his bed lit up the room. That's when he picked me up in his arms and carried me over to his bed.

I didn't no what he was doing until his lips found mine. Percy never kissed me annoyingly, he kissed me with care like a good man should. Even when it was just a peck on the cheek, it was loaded with gentleness as if he was scared to brake me. That's how his kissed me then, gentle but filled with love. The way a real kiss should be. Flooded with love and passion.

"Did he kiss you like that?" Percy asked seriously.

I looked at him not knowing what to say, he didn't wait for an answer. "I see the way he looks at you Annabeth. I know he's in love with you. And I love you too, so tell me, did he kiss you like that?"

"No." I whispered. No one could kiss like Percy, but Ryan's kiss was different it was like when you know something and you have to keep it a secret but it get's to you and you just pill everything because you can't take it anymore.

"Then tell me," I could tell Percy was trying to keep his temper down but his voice was shaking with anger. "Did you kiss him back?"

I did and it's spinning around in my head for the last twenty minutes. I gave him a look that said everything because Percy said it's easy to read me if I gave him he signs. I couldn't lie to Percy, not him.

"Yes." I told him.

He backed away and stood by the wall not taking his eyes off me. He was shaking with anger, he was pissed. That night was the first time Percy made an earthquake. He was so mad that the ground started to rumble and everything started to shake, the bronze sculptures Tyson made a long time ago started to fall from the ceiling. I covered my head and started crying all over again. What had I done?

I waited for Percy to yell at me to get out because he no longer wanted to see my face but he didn't, he just kept staring at me. I couldn't take it any longer, "Percy stop it! Someones going to get hurt!" I shouted over the shaking.

I stood up and walked over to him trying to keep my balance. The earth was still rumbling around. I placed my hand on his cheek and he placed his over mine. I felt him toy with my ring. He took it off and held it in front of my eyes.

"Remember this?" Percy asked.

I nodded. Of course I remembered, it was the promise ring he gave me last summer. I never took it off, I had a very attractive tan line from wearing it so much. It had a big pearl in the middle and a little green emerald on each side. On the inside of the ring it said, "Annabeth and Percy" Nothing fancy I guess, but he saved up a year for it and I loved it.

"Just remember what you did with it on." He slipped the ring onto my finger. Him doing this I knew we weren't over but I still felt like I had created a hole in our relationship.

"I think you should go now." He said expressionless.

I put my forehead on his and whispered, "I only love you." Then I turned and left, my ring feeling heavier than it ever did. Even outside the ground was shaking and people were filing out of their cabins so they didn't topple on them. Little kids were crying, people were screaming and yelling. No one could keep their balance.

I saw Chiron canter up to the cabin area with concern spread across his face. He saw me with wet eyes and face. "Annabeth," He said strongly. "What is going on?"

"It's Per-Percy." I murmured.

Chiron looked past me at his cabin and turned very serious. He walked to Percy's cabin and walked in. Chiron rarely ever loses his cool, he's always calm and collective, but not a soul in the camp couldn't tell that Chiron was pissed because they all herd him boom, "PERSEUS JACKSON, STOP THIS INSANITY AT ONCE!"

Everyone outside got real quite, not many knew that Chiron could get so mad. Then again not many people knew Percy could produce an earthquake, they all forgot about his father being the Earth shaker. The ground slowly stopped shaking, the rumbling died down. Inside the cabin I could hear a very intense conversation happening but I didn't know what they were saying.

I started to walk to my cabin, I felt a lot of eyes on me but I didn't dare to look back. I was the first one to march up the steps of my cabin and go into it not fearing that the supports might crack and topple onto me. It was over.

It was in the past.
