Chapter 5: HOW DARE HE???
(Credit goes to AllegraAnonymous)
Annabeth's POV:
HOW DARE HE?! He has no idea what I go through and he screams at me for not wanting to go to a stinking party? What is his freakin problem? I thought he was nice. That was not what worried me. It's how much Percy affected me. I cried for Gods' sake! Luke had to comfort me.
Luke is always there for me. He comforts me when my step momster gets drunk and tries to hit me. I am so lucky to have him. I don't feel like going home, so I'll just go to the park.
I sit on an old bench. It has a bunch of old scratches and stuff. I still can't help thinking of Percy. From what I had gathered, Percy was an awesome guy. He was goofy, loyal, kind, if not an idiot. But he just blew up at me. Like I somehow had provoked him. But I was right! He-
"Annabeth?" I hear a voice behind me.
I turn around. It's him. No. I am not dealing with this. I scowl and turn back around. Percy comes up and sits next to me.
"Hey." He says.
I turn away from him. Suddenly a cold wind blows and I shiver. I feel something soft cover my arms and shoulders. Percy's sweatshirt. No matter how much I hate him right now, I'm cold. So the sweatshirt stays.
"Listen, Annabeth. I am so sorry about the way I acted. I was a complete jerk face. I understand if..." He just keeps rambling on. Gods. I turn around to face him, a scowl on my face.
"Oh gods, you're still mad. I really am sorry and..." Stop rambling idiot. I look at the sky behind him, and it's a beautiful sunset.
"Stop rambling." I command. He doesn't stop.
"I know I am such an idiot..." Percy blabs on.
"Stop. Talking." I say, dangerously annoyed. What does he do? Keeps talking.
"ARRRHHHHHGGG!" I yell.
"JUST SHUT UP!" I scream before I slam my lips on his.
Oh gods. What did I just do? But Percy doesn't pull away. But the shocking thing, neither do I. We kiss. And it's magical. Sparks are flying off my mouth. I can't wait to tell Luke! My best friend... LUKE! Omigods. My soulmate. Luke. How could I do this to him. But I'm still here. And we are still kissing. But the worst part is I love it. Reluctantly I pull away. Percy looks at me with happy, glittering eyes, and a full heart. And I have to break it.
"Finally. You stopped talking." I say softly. I stand up and turn away, not letting him see my tears. I brush them away and plaster a scowl on my face.
"Don't contact me, speak to me, or acknowledge me in any way., ever again." I choke up on my words.
Percy's face falls, and he looks like tears are following soon behind. I raise my voice and intensify my scowl to hide my true feelings.
"If you ever repeat this to anyone, I will never forgive you. I only needed to shut you up." Oh no. Here comes the tears. But I have to end this. Now. Before I hurt him or Luke.
"Just so you know, I hate you." Tears are falling from both of our faces now. "I hate you Percy Jackson. And it's all your fault." I tell him.
Percy looks at me, his tear filled eyes piercing mine. He whispers something before he runs off. He even left his sweatshirt.
"Well then. I guess we aren't soulmates anymore." Luke says behind me.
"No! I can expl--" I beg him.
"No! Don't explain, cheater. I never liked you anyways." Luke tells me icily, his cold words cutting my heart to pieces.
SNAP! Rings through the park, echoing across the valley.
He slapped me. My beloved, slapped me.
"You deserve all the pain coming for you." Luke says, before he jumps into his Jeep and drives away.
I collapse on the bench letting it all out. I kissed Percy. I ruined our friendship. I cheated on my soulmate. I use the sweatshirt to cover myself from the perfectly timed pouring rain.
I thought I needed to hide my true feelings. But I don't know what my true feelings are anymore.
Third POV:
As Annabeth cried on the park bench, little did she know, a certain friend was watching her, and sharing her pain.
