Annabeth's POV:

"What do you want," I asked. My tone was surprisingly sharp and my gaze was narrowed on his sea-green eyes.

"To apologize, I didn't mean to just leave you there Wise Girl" he mumbled. He hopped off the cot and started to make his way over to me, each step he took I backed up one.

"It's gonna take a lot more than an apology. You were supposed to be the one person that wouldn't leave me, but you did." I accused. He stepped closer, his arms leaving his sides and acting as if they were going to circle around me.

"No. I'm not going through that pain again. I'm learning how to survive on my own and I don't need you tearing me down again," I yelled.

"If you just give me a second chance I promise I won't make the same mistake twice," he begged. My back was now to the door, and I knew I'd have to hurry and wrap this up or his presence would be too much and I would give in.

"Why don't you just go back to Reyna and leave me alone, Percy" My eyes went to the floor and by his ragged breathing I knew I had hit a nerve.

I turned away from him and grabbed the knob and yanked the door open, trying my hardest to keep the tears from falling.

I didn't get far before I felt a rough hand seize my arm and force me to turn around. Percy's lips crashed on mine and the tears I had tried so hard to hold in, fell.

My hands were on his chest, giving a futile attempt to push him away. But his strong arms just wrapped themselves around my waist and held me against him.

My traitor hands made their way from his chest to his hair and deepened the blissful kiss. The need for oxygen soon became apparent and we broke apart, panting hard.

"Reyna and I broke up," he whispered. I looked up and stared into his eyes and found nothing but honesty.

"Promise me something?" I asked. My arms were still wrapped around his neck, playing with the soft curls of his black hair.

"Anything,"

"Never leave me again," he nodded and placed another short kiss on my lips. His hand grasped mine and our fingers interlocked, and I was finally happy.

"Well we might want to head towards the beach. The Roman Campers that are going on the quest have been chosen. And I'm going to go ahead and warn you, one of them is Reyna" his eyes scrutinized my face, searching for any sign of hidden emotion.

"You're mine, that's all that matters" I grinned. He shot me a thankful glance as we made our way towards the beach, hands swinging in between us.
