Chapter 11

One year later

Annabeth's POV

I sighed as I got my bags from the baggage claim. I had come back to New York for the break at university. I had chosen to go to Stanford. Sadly it was in Frisco so I missed Percy, ALOT!

I wheeled my way to the exit of the baggage claim. As I walk through the sliding doors I saw families, waiting to see their loved ones. People parted as I made my way through the crowd with my bags. When I got out of the crowd I practically dropped my bag. I saw all my friends waiting there for me with smiles. I ran with my bags and dropped them just in time to throw my arms around Percy's neck.

"Hey Ann!" I kissed Percy and it felt amazing. "Do we get hugs and kisses to?" Leo asked, waggling his eyebrows. I laughed and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. I hugged Jason and Frank and gave Hazel and Piper BIG hugs. "I missed you guys so much."

Percy took my bags and we all piled into two cars; Percy's and Jason's. We drove to Percy's apartment and I put my stuff down in his room.

We all slouched onto his couches. "So how's Frisco? You bump into old friends?" Hazel asked, hopefully. "Yeah, Mike and his new fiancee Clara. I can't believe those two actually decided to get engaged." We laughed, an inside joke.

"How's university? Meet anyone nice?" I chuckled. "Yes, I met these three people, Craig, Troy and Nikita. They're all really nice but their not you guys." I smiled at them.

"Oh and my architecture instructor asked me out about 100 times." I smirked at the look Percy had on his face. "Just joking. It was only five times." We all laughed.

We spent the afternoon catching up. It felt good.

I felt whole again.
