Okay so, you guys said you wanted me to keep going with the story! Yay!:) Let me know if I lost my touch.

Annabeth's POV

Today I had to get up bright and early to go to a meeting with my publicist and Quinton about the spotlight on Luke and I. Personally, I'm annoyed with the press; for the last month and a half they've been in my face about my relationship with Luke "Are you guys moving in together?" "Is he buying a penthouse in New York to be with you more often?" "Are you getting married?" If I have to answer one more question about our relationship, I think I'll go crazy.

Luke and I have been on the front page of People's magazine three weeks in a row. It's been a weird experience, because usually I'm on the cover with Piper and Thalia by my side.

It's really hard to do anything with Luke, because whenever we stay in Thalia is going out of her way to make him uncomfortable, and when we're alone he's always trying to make-out with me. But when we go out we don't make it fifteen minutes without the press in our face snapping pictures or asking ridiculous questions.

Shauna, my publicist, was trying to come up with ways to get the press off of my back, "We really only have two options: for Annabeth and Luke not to spend time in public, or to pay magazines to stop."

Quinton took a deep, calming breath, "I don't really want to pay the press thousands of dollars to mind their own business."

"Then Annabeth can't really go out into public anymore." Shauna stated, "It's just too risky."

I groaned. The only reason why we spend so much time out is because I don't really like being alone one on one with Luke. Thalia and Piper hate him and make him feel unwelcome at the house, and when we go to my room or his flat, he's always wanting to make-out.

Quinton gave me a pity look, "I'm sorry Annabeth, but it's the only solution."

Shauna gave me a small smile, "I'll do my best to guide the paparazzi away from you."

Quinton clapped his hands, "Yes, that would be perfect. This was suppose to keep them out of the press, I don't want them in any more trash magazines. Understand?"

~oOo~

As soon as I got home I could sense a song brewing. I ran up to the music room to find Thalia and Piper at the desk.

They looked up at me and grinned, "Just in time Annie."

I glided across the room and picked up the lyrics, "Who wrote this?"

"We both did."

I looked over it again, "It's amazing! This is definitely grammy worthy."
Piper blushed, "We need help with the bridge, and I feel like chorus could be a bit better."

I shook my head, "I love the chorus." I brought over my favorite guitar, "Have you figured out what chords you wanted to use yet?"

Percy's POV

"Rachel hurry up we're going to be late." I said rolling my eyes. If I get another tardy my mom's going to ground me for a month.

"A girl can only move so fast." She said hanging up on me.

I punched the steering wheel as hard as I could causing it the horn to beeb. I leaned my head against my seat and closed my eyes.

Why did Rachel always have to make everything about her? Why did she have to have control of everything? We can never see the movie I want, go where I want to eat, or do what I want to do? Percy wants to have alone time? Invite the girls over!

I was really getting sick of her attitude. I was getting tired of the new Rachel. I liked the old Rachel. With paint splattered jeans and curly frizzy hair. I liked being able to see her freckles, and I liked her eyes before they were coated in black.

"Sorry babe." Rachel said slamming her door, "I couldn't decide what shirt to wear."

I shrugged and sped off to school.

"So do you want to come over and hang out tonight?" Rachel asked breaking the tension.

I debated it in my head for awhile, and decided that it would be nice to spend a couple good hours with Rachel, "Yeah, what time should I come over?"

She grinned and turned her whole body towards me, "Okay so I was thinking that you and Jason could come over around six, because Drew is coming around five, and then I can order pizza and get out all the board games! Oh! Or we could-"

"Rachel, do we have to do everything with our friends? Can't we ever hang out one on one? Like what normal couples do?" I ran a hand through my hair nervously.

"You never want to do anything I do." She pouted.

I glanced at her quickly, "Of course I do. It's just sometimes it would be nice to hang out one on one."

She crossed her arms, "Just forget about it."

I raised my eyebrows, "Are you kidding me right now?"

"No! I am not kidding! I'm sorry for wanting to have a night with our friends! I'm sorry that I even asked you to come. Next time I won't."

"Fine."

"Fine."

~oOo~

When we finally arrived at school Rachel slammed the door and stalked off, probably to find Reyna and Drew to tell them all about our little fight.

I took a deep breath before getting out of the car, and looking for someone to talk to. My eyes land on Annabeth looking at her phone on the way to the doors.

"Wise Girl!" I called trying to get her attention.

She turns, and when she spots me she smiles and waves. I run to catch up with her, "What are you looking at?" I asked.

She groaned, "Some stupid article Thals sent me." She hands me the phone so I can take a look.

I grimace, "That's some gnarly stuff."

She nods, "I was suppose to stay out of the media, not be it's main focus."

"I'm not even going to try to say something encouraging. I have no idea what it's like to be famous." I say jokingly.

She shrugs,"There's pros and cons to every job, right?"

"Not like that." I mutter.

~oOo~

"What the hell did you say to Rachel this morning?" Nico barks at me.

I cock my head, "What?"

"Drew said you did something to Rachel to make her act like a complete 'bitch' and now Drew's mad that you're a jerk, so now she's mad. Which makes me mad because now my girlfriend is a complete bitch." He glares at me.

I think back to our fight this morning, "Sorry man." I shrug and go back to my pizza.

Thalia slams her body next to mine taking a seat, "What's going on?"

I shrug, the last thing I need is Thalia going off on me about Rachel too.

"Did you get the invite to Silena's party?" Thals asked changing the subject.
"Yeah, are you going?" I couldn't decide if I wanted to go. Silena always has these massive blow out parties that the whole school attends.

"Yeah, I haven't been to one of those things in forever." She takes a bite of her pizza.

Just as she said that Annabeth sat down, "We actually aren't going."

Thalia turned her head on Annabeth, "I'm going."

Annabeth raised her eyebrows "No. You're not going." Annabeth turned her head towards Katie, obviously trying to drop the conversation, but Thalia missed the notion.

"Why the hell not?" Thalia said narrowing her eyes.

Annabeth looked shocked to say the least. I was shocked. No one really argues with Annabeth because she's always right, and she likes to have final say. Then again this is Thalia who, like Annabeth, likes to have the final stay.

"Because we have to stay out of trouble, and with the press already focused in on our lives it would be more of a target. We have to lay low." Annabeth hissed.

I gave Nico a nervous glance, this was about to get ugly in 3, 2, 1...

Thalia banged her hand on the table, "That's bullshit! You're the one the press is focused in on because you're dating that stupid low life British model! Guess what Annabeth? It's not all about you!"
"This isn't about me! It's about our band and what's good for it!" Annabeth countered.

"Is dating Luke good for our band? Or is it good-"

Piper cut in, "Guys this isn't the time or place." She notioned all around the cafeteria to people filming the argument.

After the girls calmed down Piper went around to every table asking everyone to delete the video. Lucky for her, it worked. Piper has this weird way with words, she can get almost anyone to do something she really needed.

~oOo~

When I get home I immediately catch the smell of chocolate chip cookies. I follow the smell to the kitchen to find my mom taking out a fresh batch, "Hungry?"
I nod, "Yes." I grab a cookie from the cooling tray and take a bite, "Ow! Hot!"
My mom just laughs, "You'd think you'd learn."

I shrug leaning against the counter.
"How was school?" I make a face, "That bad?"

I finish my cookie and wipe my hands on my jeans, "Yeah, it's been hard the past couple weeks. Everything I do pisses Rachel off in some way. And I love having the girls back, but between Rachel and the fame it's just hard, you know? Things will never get back to the way it was before."

My mom gives me a look. Understanding, maybe pity? "I'm sure it will get better. I can only imagine Rachel's worried that Annabeth will come back and take her spot in your life, since we she was your best friend, and I imagine Annabeth is having a hard time juggling her career and school at the same time."

I stand there in silence thinking for a while. "I need a nap." I mutter walking to my room.

Okay, so this is mainly a filler chapter! I didn't want to do too much with it, as I'm just barely getting back into writing. Also, how long should I keep Luke around?;)

So, when I first started this it was back in 2014. So the songs are a lot less modern. I was wondering what songs you want to be sung in this? I couldn't decide, so that's why I didn't introduce a new song.

Also, what POV's do you want to see?

Thank you all so much for all of the support, I appreciate it so much :)

Read, Favorite, Review!:)

Love,
