A/N OKAY UM....... HOW DO I PUT THIS.

okay deep breaths. First off, wow it's been 2 months since I updated and I honest to god cannot express how sorry I am, like I can't... I am so mad at myself as a human being, and I just- I, I am so so so so so sorry because you guys are honestly the best...I need a name to call you guys, if you have suggestions leave them cause I'm still not sure, but anyways you guys are honestly the most supportive, honest, loving, sincere people I've ever had the honour to meet and you honestly deserve so much better of an author and I'm just so sorry you guys, I'm so sorry.

So I owe you guys an explanation and the thing is; I just have a lot right now, school is becoming so stressful and we're just moving too fast, my family is growing so distant and I don't know how to talk to them about anything really, I feel like my life is passing by too fast and that soon my entire youth will be over and I won't have anything to look back on and think yeah I'm glad I did that, I don't know what I want to become and I need to soon. I just don't know and I'm having daily panic attacks because I'm so imperfect. I want so bad to be perfect, I want to be good enough and I know that's there really no way of reaching perfection but that doesn't stop me from beating myself up everytime I say something wrong, or do the wrong thing, or make someone mad or disappointed. I just can't stand letting people down because when I do I'm one step farther from perfection, it's another mistake that makes me flawed and I hate it. I have such an amazing friend too that's constantly helping me but I feel like I'm not good enough for her, that she deserves someone so much better and I don't want to lose her because she's honestly the best friend anyone could ask for and I don't know guys, I don't know.

WELL THAT WAS UM.... YEAH. IF YOU GUYS READ THAT IT JUST FURTHER PROVES HOW WONDERFULLY AMAZING YOU GUYS ARE AND HOW MUCH I DON'T DESERVE YOU, BUT ANYWAYS ON WITH THE STORY NOW. THIS IS FROM PERCY'S POV.
(Percabeth isnt official and they're not at camp of any of that... Basically it's an AU)

"So dude," Shawn plopped down beside me with such force that I spilled some of my drink.

"Yes?" I sighed, the guys were all over and we were in my basement at the moment.

"Any new chicks?" Shawn chuckled. Everyone groaned, Shawn was constantly trying to pick up some new girl, no matter how many others he'd dated before. Why girls still went out with him, considering his reputation, I'm not sure.

"Nope, none." I rolled my eyes and turned to focus on James and Ryan playing ping pong across the room.

Ryan caught the ball in his free hand, and leaned on the table, facing us. "Oh Percy's got a chick alright, she's just not new."

"What?"

"Annabeth." Ryan stated, this time it was Shawn's turn to groan.

"Really dude, you're still caught up over her?"

I shrugged my shoulders, it's not my fault that she was super pretty, super smart, and super talented at basically  everything.

Shawn placed his cup on the table in front of him. "Look man, you've been best friends since kindergarten; I don't wanna be mean but wouldn't it be a little awkward if you started dating?"

"I don't know, I've never really thought it through." I lied. Truth was I'd thought about it many of times, in fact it was always in the back of my mind, a snagging thought that would pop up whenever there was a lull in brain activity.

"Look Perce." Shawn began; I shared a look with James and Ryan as we all knew what was coming. "You're the captain of the soccer team, good looking, you have have abs and girls who would say yes to anything you proposed in an instant. You could be living the life, but instead you're moping around after some girl you've been in love with since junior year."

"Hey!" I held up my hands. "I've tried, I've dated multiple girls; I mean there's been Eve, Kalie, Natasha, Melanie, you know. It's just that even when I'm dating them, there's just something that feels off, like I shouldn't be with them or something."

Shawn rolled his eyes and picked up his drink. "Whatever man."

_______Time Skip_______

"Hey Perce!" Annabeth bounced up behind me, as I was closing my locker.

"Hey." I replied; you'd think that because I liked Annabeth things would be awkward whenever we talked, but truth was things were never that different.

"So I know you don't like when I go all girly and squealy on you, but even if you don't care I have to tell you first because you're kinda like my conscience almost; although  I don't really know if I would trust you in that position, especially not if you've had a few drinks, but then again who ever makes good decisions with a few drinks. I mean I know I sure don't, but anyways I had to tell you first because I would normally go tell Jessica but-"

"Annabeth just tell me!" I had to stop her from rambling, she did that a lot when ever she got excited or nervous.

"Oh, oh, oh right right. Well okay, guess who asked me out today!"

My heart faltered for a second but regained it's pace right after. "Who?" I feigned interest.

"Parker Devont." She smiled. I smiled back, although it pained me to hear all the stories of how many times she got asked out, I knew I had to act happy.

"Wow, Parker, wasn't he just dating Heather?" I tried to casually slip it in.

"Yeah but they broke up like two weeks ago, so you know." Annabeth shrugged, but the truth was I didn't know. I didn't get why she always dated these guys who we're never good enough for her. I mean I know I definitely wasn't good enough either but I was better at least... Right?

_____Another One_______

"Hey." Parker called out as he entered the locker rooms, a triumphant smile on his face. "Guess who I just nailed today!"

My hands stopped tying my cleats as I waited for his following words, the blood in my veins burning with anger.

"Annabeth Chase."

A bunch of guys clapped him and whistled, as I kept my head down and continued to pretend to tie my laces.

"I know, I know, I'm pretty surprised myself." It sounded like he was going to continue except.

"Let's go!" Coach Dylan stuck his head into the locker rooms. "You were supposed to be out 10 minutes ago!"

"Sorry coach" we mumbled as we filed out.

Ryan came up beside me. "Hey, um sorry man."

"It's fine." I replied, not looking at him.  "Um, you go ahead, I'll be right out."

Ryan glanced over in the direction I was looking, but the guy didn't say anything other than "okay" to his credit.

I waited till everyone else had left and it was just us two, with him pulling on his jersey.

"Hey Parker."

"Oh hey Cap, did you hear?" he smiled at me.

"Yeah, I heard-"

"Yeah, and I know you guys are best friends and all that so I mean I hope this isn't weird but like if you have any tips on her I could use them."

I paused contemplating on what I could say. "Just... don't hurt her okay."

"Okay?" He looked confused, then plastered on his smug confident smile. "Or what, you'll hurt me I guess." He laughed like it was some inside joke we shared.

"Actually yeah." And with that, I walked out of the room.

_______2 weeks later______

"Honestly, the day I actually need to use Trig in my life is the day I start trying in math." I sat down next to Annabeth at lunch, thoroughly fed up with Mrs. Emerson.

"Ha, yeah." She replied half heartedly. I looked up to see Ryan and James staring at me apprehensively, then back at Annabeth, who was leaning on her hand, staring dejectedly at her food.

"You okay?" I asked. I looked over to Jessica who gave a pointed glance over to where Parker was sitting with Heather Adams on his lap, laughing and not even looking in our direction. My hearing was suddenly filled with the pounding of my heart, I had tunnel vision and I remember hearing Annabeth's voice saying.

"Percy?"

And next thing I knew I was punching Parker Devont right in his smug little face.

_______Time Skip______

"Suspension! Oh my god Percy! What the hell!" Annabeth was pacing back and forth in my kitchen as I sat on the counter with my lip sill bleeding and a cut above my eyebrow (Parker was not one to just sit there and take a beating)

"Annabeth calm down,  Parker got one too."

"Oh, oh, 'Parker got one too'." She mimicked me. "Right because that makes things so much better, I can't believe you would do that!" She continued to pace, as I still just sat there.

"In my defence I punched him for you!" I finally yelled. I was fed up with her getting hurt over and over again and me not doing anything.

"You didn't have to though!" She yelled back. "I can fight my own battles okay!"

"I know you can, but he made me mad, and I couldn't take it anymore!"

"Why would he make you mad, it was nothing personal to you!" We were in a full blown out screaming match now.

"Because he totally devastated you! He took your feelings and stepped all over them, he humiliated you!" I guess I hadn't noticed that we'd been getting closer and closer with each turn until she said.

"And why is that so important to you!"

And I kissed her. I grabbed her face and kissed her like I'd never kissed another girl before. I moved my hands to her waist and pulled her closer, she wrapped her arms around my neck and I stumbled backwards to the counter to brace myself. I slowly pulled apart after what seemed like forever and whispered.

"Because I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you okay. I'm in love with the way you always mouth the words to your favourite songs, I'm in love with the way you can't stand when hair gets in your eyes when you're working, and how you can't drink coffee unless it's filled with sugar because you hate anything that tastes bitter. I'm in love with the way you force yourself to finish a book even if you don't like it because you hate giving up and how you always double knot your shoes because you don't have to time to repeat anything. I'm in love with every little thing you do because I'm in love with you Annabeth. I. am. in. love. with. you."

She just stared at me, her eyes wide and not moving from mine, her lips still slightly apart from shock. I stood there too, our faces inches away, awaiting her response. She grabbed one of my hands and stared down to where she rubbed over the knuckles which were red and cut open after the fight, then back up at me.

"Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you." And she pulled me down again.
