Chapter 22

Room 21, Half-Blood Apartment, 9am

Jason walked to his closet and grabbed his best man vest before headed to the church. He walked to the kitchen to grab a cookie and with all the sudden he heard someone from Percy's bathroom. Frowned in suspect, he picked up a baseball bat and moved slowly toward the room. The blond-haired pressed his ear against the door and heard mutters.

He let out a sigh then placed the bat down after recognized the voice was Percy's and used a key to open the door. He pushed it in and he saw a figure sitting on the floor with his back against the bathtub. Jason couldn't realize his friend anymore because of his not-so-cool looks. His raven hair was even messier than usual, he even had bags under his eyes, his sea-green eyes were literally turned into grey-green and he was still in his grey tee shirt and blue jeans.

"Whoa, what the heck is wrong with you, Perce?" Jason exclaimed, squatted in front of his friend. But the only response he had was a shaking head.

Then his eyes landed on the phone which was in Percy's hands and he suddenly realized the whole thing. He took the phone away from Percy then sat next to him.

"You weren't planning to cancel the wedding, were you?"

There was a long silence then Percy spoke, wiping the tears from his eyes. "I'm scared, okay?"

"I'm scared that I'm not going to make her happy, I'm scared that I'm just going to make she disappoints, I'm scared that I'm not good enough for her." He continued.

Jason suddenly burst into laughter while Percy staring him like he was crazy.

"You're a proper idiot, you know that." He finally said.

"I know you're nervous and who on Earth doesn't on their wedding? But you shouldn't take it as an excuse to hide from things because sooner or later you'll have to face them. So just go for it because I know, you know, deep down in your heart that you love her and she loves you. That's that only thing that matters. And I know that hell no in the world you're gonna make your Wise Girl sad or disappoints. You're meant to be."

The raven-haired laughed. "You sound like your old cheesy man, Zeus, I mean."

"I know!" He groaned. "Gosh, I sounded so cheesy! Kill me, Perce, kill me."

"Hey, remember what he said on the Aphrodite Show."

"Love is the reason why humans were born." They mimicked in union then burst into laughter again.

Then they bumped fists. "Thanks, man." Percy grinned then they stood up.

"Want me to wait for you?"

"Nah, I'll catch up later." He shrugged.

"Suit yourself."

The blond-haired grabbed his car keys then walked out. He called over his shoulders.

"I should have taken a picture of you in desperate for Annabeth as a wedding present. She'd be really happy, you know."

The black-haired rolled his e "Shut the hell off, Jas."


Minerva Hotel, 9am

"Room 302…" Katie muttered, counted the number then stopped at the room at the end of the hall.

She had turned to the girls before pressed the doorbell because they didn't want any drunken guys or angry grandmas. After a few seconds, a woman with blond hair and stormy grey eyes opened the door and greeted them with a huge smile.

"Good morning, Mrs. Chase." Mrs. Chase was already in her white and light green gown, she had her make-up on, and her golden hair was exactly like Annabeth's, except it wasn't curly. Her smile made them feel warm inside but her grey eyes definitely freaked them out since it shows she is a really powerful and wise woman, they wouldn't miss beautiful.

"Good morning, girls. Come in. Annabeth is in her room." She opened the door and let them in.

They muttered some thank you then headed to Annabeth's room but it was locked. Silena knocked the door a several times but no one answered.

"That's the problem." Athena sighed, placing a tray of tea and cookies on a table nearby. "She has been locking herself in her room since last night. I've tried to get her out but there is no use."

Clarisse shook her head then pulled out a hair clip and kneeled down in front of the door. She did some quick gestures with the hair clip and suddenly the door opened. Everyone dropped their jaws as Clarisse stood up.

She raised her eyebrow. "What?"

"Nothing." They said quickly then she pushed the door in.

Annabeth was sitting on the floor with her back against the bed but she didn't look like Annabeth at all. Her hair was like super messy; her grey eyes were full anxious, she even have eyes bags under her tired eyes, her was even wearing worn out black tour tee shirt of Hey Monday, shorts and grey socks. But the things that made their hearts ached were the tears which were streaming down her face.

"How could you…" She stuttered, didn't even bother to wipe the tears away.

Clarisse raised up her hair clip while the girls walked toward the blond hair.

"Oh, I should have known that." Annabeth laughed sadly then turned to her mother. "You should better head off first. I'll be fine." Athena nodded then kissed her daughter's hair gently before closed the door behind her.

Thalia sighed then crossed her arms. "Okay, what's wrong, Blondie?"

"What?" She frowned as if she was telling the truth but she should know that she was a terrible liar.

Thalia groaned. "Oh, don't 'what' me?! We all know that there is something in your freaking mind."

Silena sat next to her. "C'mon, you can trust us. We're friends after all, right?"

Annabeth looked into their eyes and realized how lucky she had been to have these people around her. She had never imagined that someone would sit next to her and comfort her whenever she was in trouble. For years, she had been trying to define the word 'friend' and find who would she accompany with and now, she finally knew the answers.

The blond-haired nodded then wiped away her tears.

Silena and the girls looked at her. "Okay so what's wrong?"

"I can't marry him." Those terrible words finally escaped her mouth. "I can't marry Percy. I'm…I'm scared that after 40 years, he's gonna blame himself for marrying me. I'm scared that I'm gonna bring him only sadness and regrets. I'm…I'm scared that I'm not good enough for him…" Then tears rushed down her face once more.

Silena pulled her into a hug and let her friend cried on her shoulders while whispering comforting words. They honestly didn't what to do since none of them had ever crash into situation like this. Then Thalia shook her head and pulled out her phone.

Katie frowned. "Who are you calling, Thalia?"

"Percy." She replied simply then dialed the numbers.

Annabeth looked at her friend with horror and surprise filled her eyes. She tried to take the phone away but Thalia just jumped back away from her.

"What the f*** are you doing?" Clarisse clenched her fist and stepped toward the punk. "Put that thing down right now!"

"No, I warn you Clarisse, if you just stepped one more step I'd press the call button." She glared at the red hair. "And believe me I'm not telling lies."

"Now, Annie, I'm telling you what I'm about to say might sound really bitchy but believe me you'll need these." She looked at the desperate Annabeth. "Okay, here we go. Listen, Blondie, I'm going to give a damn about you're telling that you're not good enough for that Kelp Head or you only bring him regrets because I know that you're way better than that so just shut the hell up and say 'I do'. Plus, I'm sure that you're not going to regret so is Percy because YOU'RE FREAKING MEANT TO BE! I'd give up my life to say that Percy Edward Jackson loves you and so do you so you're gonna get in that freaking beautiful gown and go to the freaking church then say 'I do' to that freaking Kelp Head. Understood?"

Everyone stared at Thalia in surprised then Annabeth gave her a nod and a small appeared on her face which made her face lighten up with happiness.

"Understood." She confirmed before walked to the closet and grabbed her wedding dress then headed to the church.


Aphrodite Church

"You ready?" Poseidon asked, inviting his arm for Annabeth. And replied him was a nod from Annabeth. "Take care of him, will you?"

The blond-haired looked at Poseidon with her grey eyes and nodded. "With everything I can."

The man smiled and felt the feelings of relief inside him. He nodded at the door men as they opened the door.

"Thank you, Annabeth." He whispered. "Okay, here we go."

As the light of sunlight hit Annabeth's eyes they walked in. She spotted Athena sitting on the first roll who was smiling warmly at her along with her relatives from England; the Half-Blood and the Roman Kingdom were all here, except Marc for sure. She landed her eyes on her friends and saw they were all grinning and smiling happily for her and for him.

Then grey met green. He was standing there, sexy in his suit with his head held high and the smile that had gotten her since the very first time was on his face. His hair raven was still messy like usual and his green eyes were just perfect; they sparkled under the light and filled with happiness but nervous was also there.

At that moment, she knew that what she would do, she knew where she would go, she had found the people who love her and who she loves, she knew that she had found where she belongs and especially who she loves and who loves her. Everything had ever been in her life which she couldn't answer had been answered by one person.

And the person who has all the answers was standing right here, in front of her.

The person was Percy Jackson who she knows; Annabeth Chase knows that she would never be able to live without.
