Percabeth 4 ever part 25

Annabeths Pov.
        What in Hades am I going to do? If Percy sees me now he will know Im who I really am. No pretending or running away. I would just go and tell him everything if it werent for my mother. Before Roo I didmt care what my mother thought. Neither did Percy but now that Roos here and her life depends if me and Percy are together or not I do care about what my mother thinks and saids.

I need to talk to her and see what she thinks. If she has changed her mind in the last 3 years. I havent talked to her in over three years. She was the reason I wasnt apart of Percy's and Roos lives.I was pissed at her and at moments like this when I see him I hate her again.

He didnt seemed to even notice or sense that there was another person on the beach. He looked so worn out, like hes been stretched to far. I saw bagges under his eyes and he was stumbling up toward his cabin. I wonder what how long he was down there. Water makes him feel better but he still gets wore out. Especially with bearing the curse of Achillies.

I remember back right after the war and Percy started to feel the affects of the curse more often, when he would just lay his head in my lap and fall asleep. I would rub his temples because he said he had a headache. Its those small moments that I have lived off of for the last three years.

Tony went back in to get somehing. Saying that we would need it. I have no idea what it is and I am kind of glad he is not here to see me in my trance. To see Percy twice in the matter of 48 hours. I can sense that Tony is still peeved by how Percy gave me his number. Even though he tries not to talk about it or bring it up.

I looked over at the cabin and I saw where me and Percy wrote 'Percabeth 4 ever' in the great white
oak that grew near where me and Percy slept. It was higher up on the tree because we carved it in there almost 7 years ago and trees grow. I saw Percy stop and look over at he tree. He walked over there and ran his fingers over the rough wooden grooves. He had to reach his arm up a little. I wouldnt have been able to reach it.

"I miss you Wise girl. I just wish you were here." I had my Yankees cap on. I tried my best not to make the sand beneath my feat crunch. As I got closer I saw that his eyes were red. He was crying. With every tear drop my heart broke a little. I hated seeing him cry and he knows that. That is why if he needed to cry or if something was wrong that might make him cry he would go away from me so I didnt see. He thought that I didnt know that that was the reason he would leave.

It only hurt more knowing that he was crying with no one to comfort him. Just like now. It made me really wish I had died 3 years ago, or that I died during the siege when I took that knife for Percy. Then Percy and I wouldnt have become what we became and he wouldnt be crying like this. Maybe I wish I never met him. He would be happy with another and I would never be in the picture. It would have been better that way.

Why'd I ever fake my death? Why'd I ever agree to come to this damn place, knowing that it had all these memories here? Maybe I agreed because maybe, just a little I was hoping Percy was here and he found me. Found out that I was indeed alive and not dead. Maybe I wanted my life back. Maybe, just a little.

Then his head turned toward me sofast I thought hed break his neck. He knew someone was here.

Percy's Pov.
     "I miss you Wise girl. I just wish you were here." I whispered as I ran my fingers lightly over the craving in the great oak by the cabin. I remeber when I took Annabeth here with my Mother and Paul. She was so excited. I could see it in her eyes the whole 2 weeks leading up to arriving here.

We sat under this here tree for what seemed like hours. Feeling that we had all we needed because we had each other there with us. We carved 'Percabeth 4 ever' in the Oak with Annabeth dagger that she always had on her hip. She said that all the couples do it and it would be there for the rest of our days. I was just glad to see her so happy.

Now this and my memories are all I have left of her. I have Roo but Thalia saids shes a mini me and the world doesnt need another me. Believe me.

I felt the tears start pouring. I knew I had to go and get some sleep but seeing this here oak made me think of Annabeth. Being here makes me think of Annabeth. Oh what the hades, waking up makes me think of Annabeth. Every waking moment of my life is thinking about Annabeth and me thinking 'Wheres Roo?'. My dreams are filled with Annabeth. I guess Im trying to remember everything about her. The way she walked, the way her hair smelled of lemonade all the time. How much she made me go crazy.

I kind of wish, in some ways, that I never met Annabeth. Then this would have never happened. I wouldnt be standing here crying to a tree. I thought I heard someone coming. I know that there are people in the cabin next door. They name the night after we came. I havent seen them out  of the cabin much though.

I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. There are only 2 things that make that happen.

A monster or Annabeth wearing her Yankees cap.Either one was going to make my night/morning get weird.Fast.

I slowly moved my hand to my pocket where Riptide is. I turned around as I uncapped it. Expecting the worse, hoping for the better.
