The days pass by and ever since Nico and Thalia got together again, Luke never called. Maybe he finally realized that we weren't to be bothered. I was glad that I can finally live my summer in peace. I'm still young and there's so much in life that I haven't tried yet. Maybe if I let something go, I can have more space to add something better to my life.

As I sat on the slightly moist sand, staring at the rolling waves and setting sun, I finally noticed how much of my life I have wasted being the person I wasn't supposed to be. My mother pushed me into something, told me that I would be better off without love or friends. But, as I said, I'm still young. I can easily catch up and learn from those many days of wistful thinking.

I felt someone sit beside me and I immediately sighed in absolute ecstasy when I felt the same strong arm around me. "How's life, Wise Girl?"

My lips let out a small chuckle, "You should know. I live mine with you now, remember."

He just laughed and kissed the side of my face, burying his nose on my hair. "We still have two months to waste. What do you plan to do?"

I just smiled and looked at the place where all of my friends are, talking and laughing and just enjoying the company. "I don't really know. I think I already learned not to plan everything ahead. Plus, as long as I'm with you, I'm happy." It was quite corny but I didn't mind. It was how I felt. It needed to be said.

"Maybe you're right." he mused, sighing, "I love you, Annabeth, I love you so much."

My grey eyes met his green ones, "I love you, too."

It may have been four years since I grew the courage to tell him how I feel but maybe it gave me more time to prepare for what is in store for me. There's pain and there's happiness. And it constantly changes. But he is always there. He will always be there.

I'm happy. We're happy. And I'm not going to let anyone else ruin that for me.

Last chapter! Don't worry, I'll make a sequel. And I'm planning the sequel to still be during Summer vacation in the beach house. But i do need help with the title and the plot. Tell me what you think! Please, I need all the help that I can get.

Plus, we all know that I have to end the story somehow. Though it was quite abrupt, I just felt that it's time to just finish it. Thanks guys for the continuous support.:)
