One Last Letter [Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus]
Dear Annabeth,
I remember always writing you these love letters when I couldn't tell you 'Happy Valentines Day!' But that was so long ago.
I promised you one last song, didn't I? So I'm going to keep tradition and write these letters. I'll remember who I truly love.
Now you're gone. But I promised you I would write these until I died. I'm going to leave this one on your grave. I promise, you'll love it.
Maybe, just maybe, it you picked reincarnation, you'd find this note.
This will probably be my last letter to you. I'm as close to death's door as you were so long ago.
Honestly, I'm a terrible writer and you know how unromantic these notes are. The Aphrodite cabin would kill me.
But you're gone now, I'll be meeting you soon. As I lay on my death bed, you're the one person I will think about.
Since I'm not great at writing poems, I'm going to use some of your favorite songs.
Do you remember when I said I'd always be there.. ever since we were ten, baby.
Okay, we weren't ten. But we promised to always be there for each other didn't we? I did promise. You did too.
I don't know how it ends, girl, but I fell in love with my best friend.
I love you, Annabeth. You are my best friend. Even though we always fought, but I always loved you. I didn't know if we would survive, but, hey, I had the guts to propose to you.
Your touch is sunlight through the trees, your kisses are the ocean breeze. Everything's alright when you're with me.
This would probably be more for you. You did always say my lips were salty. But that last line. Mine. I know everything would be fine when you're standing next to me, holding my hand. Looking all confident and fierce like that.
I see the whole world in your eyes. It's like I've known you all my life. We just feel so right.
I have known you all my life. Wise Girl, we were twelve when we first met. Now that I'm eighty-nine, and you were twenty-seven when you. . . you know what I mean, that's fifteen years I've known you. I love more than anything. Yes, even blue cookies.
Something happens when I hold her,
She keeps my heart from getting older.
When the days get shorter and the night get a little bit colder.
We hold each other.
We hold each other.
You remember when we got stuck in a snowstorm at the park? It was freezing. I'm so glad Jason and Piper were there to freeze their butts off with us. You really did keep me younger. I loved the way you laughed and smiled. How you brushed your hair behind your ear. I'd hold you every time we had hot cocoa at my mom's apartment. Obviously, it was blue.
When I look into your eyes, it's like watching the night sky.
Or a beautiful sunrise.
There's so much they hold.
Wise Girl, I always knew how you were feeling when I looked into your eyes. Most of the time, you were happy as can be. I saw everything about you just by looking in your eyes.
Well, I won't give up on us. Even if the skies get rough. I'm giving you all of my love.
I wasn't giving up on you. I knew you were still alive when you were captured by the titan Atlas. When you went on your solo quest, I was worried yeah, but I knew you would make it. And I knew that my Wise Girl would survive anything she put her mind to.
So I won't hesitate no more, no more,
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short,
This is our fate, I'm yours .
You remember our underwater kiss? Camp nearly celebrated when they found out. I couldn't wait anymore, before you fell for someone else. I knew we were half-bloods that would have a shorter lifespan than we should have, but I loved you and I wanted to prove it.
You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side.
You know I'll take your hand.
I know, I promised to be next to you always. Even in Tartarus, I wasn't leaving you to die. I was going to make sure you were okay, even if I didn't survive. I guess I can't change fate.
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye.
This was the song you sang when you were close to death. That was my favorite line. I love you, now it's my turn.
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
Being in love made me worry about you so much, you probably didn't realize it. But you were the person I fought next to, it was so hard not to drop everything and come to your side to help you. You're the first thing on my mind when I wake up, and the last thing I think of when I go to sleep. But I knew that we would survive whatever fate threw at us.
Now, my last song. This is it. I really wanted you to outlive me so you could hear me sing this for you.
Tell me where the good men go,
Before I wash away.
Walk me down the old brick road,
So could die where I met you.
Hold me like we're going home,
Turn your tears to rain
Bury me, Beautiful
Heaven knows how I loved you.
This is the song I had prepared when I die. Now that I'm on my death bed, I'll just sing it. What? I've been practicing. Maybe Uncle Hades will hear me and help me find you.
You know, Wise Girl, I never answered these questions you asked me at the high school prom. Yes, I still remember that. I'll give you my answers now.
Am I pretty?
No, you're not pretty. You're absolutely beautiful and gorgeous. I love you gray eyes and blond curls. The way your eyes sparkled made me happy.
Am I nice?
Nope. You're the kindest girl I will ever meet. You're better than all the annoying girls who asked me out. Isn't it the other way around though? Shouldn't the guys ask the girls?
Am I good enough for you?
Nope. Not a chance. You're Better than anything, and I mean anything, o could every wish for.
Am I smart?
No. You're intelligent. There's a difference.
Do you like me?
No. I love you. I love every single little thing about you. Your smile brightens up my day.
I have to tell you something about my day. After you died, I was working as a teacher. This little girl walked into my class looking exactly like you.
She had your blond hair and gray eyes. The same smile playing on her lips. A yankee cap was on her head. She held a pine tree and says.
"Mr. Jackson. I brought you a pine tree. It just felt right."
And it meant a lot, because that was the day Thalia had become a pine tree. It was your reincarnation, wasn't it?
Anyway, Annabeth, I'll be seeing you. I'll have the nurse leave this one your grave. Right now, I can only think of one thing.
You. My Annabeth. My girlfriend. My Wise Girl.
As I lie here, I whisper your name. We did everything together. Falling an surviving Tartarus. A titans' war. A giants' war. The labyrinth. The Sea of Monsters. Everything Wise Girl.
Our quests flash through my mind. I knew I couldn't live without you. Now, you're the last thought on my mind, before the heart monitor becomes only a line.
We'll be together again.
