Previously on PJD:

"Do it do it do it!" The girls + Nico chant. I groan and lean forward and at the last second, swerved to kiss Leo's cheek, then roll to the side gagging.

"Oh come on!" Calypso whines, laughing and slapping Leo's head.

"Hey it wasn't my fault! I was all for it!" Leo jokes, and Thalia and Nico roar with laughter again.

Finally one of the first nights of peace we've had. Even if I did have to kiss Leo.

Annabeth's POV

I feel Percy's arm wrap around mine as he pulls me on shore with the last of his living strength. He had drowned, probably gotten a horrible concussion.

"No, stay with me Percy," I say as I lean over him, pressing his chest like in all the cpr books I read. He just laughs and coughs up a little trickle of water. I silently cheer myself.

"It's okay Wise Girl. I love you, just go and make it out of here without me. I'll be okay," he moans out, barley being able to talk. I put a finger to my lips to shush him. He smiles and removes my finger.

"No. If I'm going to spend my last moments with you, I'm going to talk to you," he whispers, coughing. I compress his chest more, but no water comes out.

"Face it Wise Girl, I'm a goner. This water in my chest isn't coming out. Just-"

"Perseus FUCKING Jackson. You WILL live. I WILL make sure of it!" I yell and I compress his chest more and he laughs, and a huge spurt of water comes out, and he takes a huge gasping breath, and his eyes roll into the back to his head and he passes out.

Or does he.

No Percy! Don't die please! Please I didn't mean it like that-please just...no..."I sob onto his chest until I fall asleep.

I wake up, and sit up, yawning. Then I realize that Percy's eyes are open and he is looking around confused, and like someone is going to attack him. He coughs and groans, clutching his head in pain and groaning more.

"Percy! What's wrong?" I cry out, grabbing his hand and putting a hand on his chest to keep him still. Not responding he pushes my hands away and groans again, clutching his head.

"Percy...?" I whisper. He just looks up at me, confused and almost angry. I flinch back, not knowing what is going on.

"Who are you, and how do you know my name?" He says.

All I have to say to your broken heart is:

...sorry?

😄luv ya!
