Lady Running down to the Riptide

Percy's POV
After Grace kissed me I didn't know what to do. I was shocked but before I could say anything, she ran. We were also having a sing-a-long before the talk about the quest and all so I had my guitar with me and I grabbed it and ran after her. (Whenever I'm nervous, I take it with me.)

Finally, she stopped running and was sitting at a rock near the shore. The waves were at riptide, it was sad, dangerous and yet beautiful. Like her. Then I noticed she was crying so I sat on the rock near her.

"Here it's freezing take this." I said, giving her my jacket.
"Thanks." she replied. She looked so sad, it broke my heart.

"Look what happened?" I asked, oblivious to the fact that she seemed like she wanted to be alone.
"I don't want to ta-" she replied before I interrupted her.
"That's not an answer, why" I asked.

"I never answer because all people will do is feel sorry for me. No one understands." she said.

"You never know until you try." I said. This was getting really cheesy.
"That's cheesy." she said laughing. Gods, love hearing that girl laugh, and her smile, and the way she reads my mind. And the hard part is that I wish I can tell her all this so that he feels better. If only she knew. But the hard part is.. what would she say.

"Look. It was because it was my first kiss and I wasted it and I was worried what you thought about me."
"What I...think about you?"
She nodded.
"Here it is. And please don't be one of those girls who are like "NOOO I'm so not that! " At the end just to sound modest. Grace Petrovea, I think you are the most beautiful, talented, strong girl I have ever met. I love the way you laugh. I love your smile. I love the way you read my mind I love everything about you." I finished. And started my song.
I was scared of dentists an the dark.

I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations

Oh all my friends are turning green
...
I loved playing guitar. The words and music just flowed out of me and expressed me in a way nothing else ever did.

*flashback*
"Percy, why's your art form?" He asked me as we walked through camp grounds.
"first tell me yours." I asked.
"Fine lets say it at the same time."
"1"
"2"
"3"
"MUSIC woahhh" we said in unison.
"It's the only way I can explain my self without feeling uptight about it." I said.
"Yah. It just flows out of me and expresses me in a way nothing else ever did"
*flashback over*
Lady, running down to the riptide

Taking away to the dark side

I wanna be your left hand man.

I love you when you're singing that song

And I got a lump in my throat cuz

Your gonna sing the words wrong.

"Percy Jackson, you're the most cutest, funniest sweetest guy I've ever met. And that's a lot to say since I have a lot of trouble expressing my feelings most of the time. I love the way YOU smile. I love the way you do that thing were you take your hands through your hair and smile when your nervous like right now. I love the way that you make me feel better about myself in a way no one else has ever tried to do. You didn't feel sorrow, you felt.... you just felt. You understood. And most of all.." but before she can say the hardest sentence, Annabeth cut her off.

"Now if we can get this 'lovefest' over, LETS GO ON AN ADVENTUREEEE!!! " she yelled.
My face, well I'm pretty sure it was, turned shades of red only found on berry bushes. While Grace probably would've done the same if not for her gorgeous golden complexion.
