Percy POV

I asked her to stay, but she wouldn't listen. She walked out of the door, slamming it behind her. The noise broke my heart. She left before I had the chance to say the words that would mend our broken relationship. But, now, it's way too late because she's gone.

I walked to our-excuse me- my bedroom and lay down on the bed. I broke down and cried myself to sleep. I kept on thinking, Why does this happen to me? Wy does every moment have to be so hard? It was hard o believe it.

The next morning I went over to her best friend's, Thalia, house to talk to her. She always went there when she was upset. I knocked on the door and a few seconds later, Annabeth opened the door.

"Please don't say that it was over last night. Just give me one more chance. I might not make it through the rest of the night. I won't go home without you." I said, my eyes filling with tears.

"Percy, I can't. Not right now." She tried to shut the door, but I stuck my foot in the doorframe.

"I'll never get over you. The noises that you made kept me awake. Not only that, but the things that remain unspoken. It's built up so much, it crushes me. I cried myself to sleep last night, thinking why that happened to me." Her eyes were filling with tears as well.

"Of all the things I've never showed, the worst is that I let you go. I never should have done that. I love you, Percy." She fell into my arms, crying. I held her like that, until she stopped crying.
