A/N: Thanks for your concern about my accident! I've gotten the cast off my leg, but I'm in a brace. I revised the last chapter by adding a bit more to Percy's speech you can check it out! Also, thanks for the reviews! This will be my last chapter!

Told from Annabeth's POV

You're shocked by Percy's speech. Never would you have thought that he would still want a relationship with you after what you did to him. But his speech told you everything. You didn't notice tears starting to run down your face until you felt him reach his hand up to wipe them away. His hand lingers and you lean into his touch, soaking in the feeling of the sparks running through your body when he touches.

When he pulls away, you feel yourself push closer to him, and slowly lower your head to his shoulder. After being so sad for so long, it felt strange to you as your lips moved upward into a small smile. That any part of him still loved you that he could stand to be this close to you after what you did to him. It gives you something you had been living without for the months, a glimmer of hope for the new relationship.

"Annabeth, we don't have to finish talking now if you don't want to. I'm actually quite tired and we can finish tomorrow. Is-is it all right if I stay here?" With hesitation, you nod your head.

"I'm fine sleeping on the couch," he says, but you won't let him.

"Um, actually, you can sleep with me. I kind of want to know that you're here and um, I would like to sleep in your arms for tonight," you wince at what you said. It sounded corny, desperate, and pathetic. And worse of all, it left you vulnerable. You watch him hesitate, but he nods. The both of you head off to bed and you haven't slept this well in months.

~.~.~.~

You slowly start to wake. Percy is on his back next to you. His pants were on but his shirt was discarded. You are lying on your side with your arm across his stomach, your head on his chest, and one leg swung across his legs. Percy has one arm around you and the other is stroking your hair. You feel him tense as he stopped stroking your hair. You close your eyes and trying to make him believe you were still asleep.

"I know you're awake, Annabeth."

"No, I'm not." You plead while looking up into his sea-green eyes, your heart soars as you were rewarded with a slight, all be it a sad, smile.

"Can't fool me, the lack of snoring is a dead giveaway. We need to get up; we have to finish talking about the past months."

Turning back to your resting place you give him a quick squeeze. "Please, just five more minutes."

He visibly swallowed the lump in his throat as he relaxed and resumed caressing your hair. "Alright, five minutes." You nuzzle him in thanks and planted a light kiss on his chest. A half an hour later you feel him stir again. "We need to get up and finish talking." Without any words, you hand him a spare toothbrush and the both of you take turns in the bathroom, then walking out to the living room. You both take the same seats on the couch you sat in the night before. Taking in a deep breath, you start your speech.

"Percy, I know I hurt you and there isn't a day where I don't regret it. I'm so sorry. I never stopped loving you. I realize that I did destroy any trust that we ever had. But I know some trust is still there. Percy, I still trust you with my life and I'm pretty sure you still trust me with yours," you pause to see him nod in agreement, "I don't care how long it will take to build a relationship, I just want to be with you and nothing is ever going to change that. Percy, you're it for me. I will never hurt you like that again, I can promise you that." Tears were starting to well up in your eyes as the speech went on. He sees this and scoots closer to you. He wraps his strong arms around you and you lay your head o his shoulder, reveling in the feeling of his embrace.

He tilts your chin up suddenly and you know that only means one thing. He's going to kiss you after all this time. Leaning in, you can feel his breath against your face, shivering at the breeze. Your lips meet. Kissing him was like breathing. You needed it to survive and it came naturally. You put as much emotion as you could in the kiss, trying to show him your love for him. After the need of oxygen became dire, you break apart. He takes a few deep breaths and begins to talk as you regain your breath.

"It's going to be hard, but we can do it. We fought the worst monsters and we saved Olympus. We can do this. There isn't an end for us because I never want this to end Annabeth," his words bring you over the edge of emotions. Tears stream down your face.

You happily sit in his embrace, knowing that this wouldn't be the last time. Knowing that there's going to be a future. Knowing that he still loves you. And knowing that there won't be an end because you don't want it to end either.

Not sure on the ending, but I did my best. I'm actually kind of sad that this story has ended. This was probably my favorite story to write. Thanks for all my readers!
