( I REALIZE , i havent been giving a trigger warning , so here it is . )

TW - mentions of death and suicide 

Annabeth was done one too many times . Why should she wait ? For whom ? She came home angry frustrated and irritated . One word ran through her mind as she tore down and kicked every single thing that was within her reach . 

'why?' 

Why should she wait ?!
Why should she torture herself by staying in this world where no one even cared ?

She hated not knowing , there was a lot of things she didn't know but these were the 2 questions she did know the answer to . She simply shouldn't wait . She spent most her life caring and trying to please people . To prove herself . Now , when she finally had peace , someone she loved , it was taken away from her  she she wouldn't care .

Her room was demolished in a matter of minutes but she still wasn't done . She took her dagger, sheathed it with her and walked towards the beach . The beach was just besides a huge forest where she was sure noone ever went . As she came closer and closer to the beach , she started running . She didn't know why but she just did 

She reached the beach and kicked the sand even though she knew it wouldn't affect it . She knew she was being irrational , but what could stop her ? She never thought she'd be the type of girl to be hung up on some boy . She was the leader , she didn't follow anyone , they followed her . She was the one who'd always have a plan and she was the one who executed it . She was strong , independent . She didn't need a man , she never did . She wanted to change her own fate , be the one on the driver's seat in control . She wanted to grow old with someone who would forever be with her no matter what . And she had that but it somehow slipped away . Maybe sometimes being in that seat in control of some power wasn't as good as she thought , so she gave half of it to him . She removed her tough 'facade' and showed him how she really was . Everyone she loved had slowly walked out her life even though they promised not to , each leaving a small little scar . Over the years , the scars increased so she put on her tough skin . Sometimes she thought it wasn't even a facade anymore , it had become a part of her persona . When she let him in and showed him how she really was , dejected , he stuck with her . Everything was good as long as she was with him , and he slowly unknowingly split the load on her . She took half of his and he took half of hers . Then he took advantage of that power , without knowing it , like the oblivious person he was . And he left , adding another scar . She knew it wasn't his fault . She was jealous , she should have accepted he didn't like her anymore , but she couldn't . Maybe this was just a big misuderstanding .But it wasn't . 

Her eyes welled up . NO . She wasn't going to cry , she'd cried enough . She hadn't  cried in weeks , she defiantly wouldn't now . She was scared , she was The Annabeth Chase , she didn't cry , she was strong , she survived tarturus . Where was that side of her when she needed it the most ?

She thought about that place , the nightmares and flashbacks , they kept coming , become worse . But there was nothing she could do about them so she just tolerated them . She saw Percy dying multiple times , she had moments where she relived it , that was the worst of all , especially with the Arai and the curse of calypso . She hardly slept . 

Before everything happened , Annabeth used to bottle up everything , every negative emotion , then let them out all at once to Percy , she had that session with him once or twice a year , but she didn't now so there was no point in bottling it all up . That was again another thing that was scary for her , her vulnerability .

Annabeth had reached the forest . She wandered further in  as she looked up at the trees , they were very tall , with thick leaves that formed a roof , blocking almost all the sunlight making it very dark . After wandering for about half an hour , Annabeth stopped , it was dark by now , almost black . She couldn't see anything , not even her own hand , she walked around , bumping into several trees in the process . She got down on all fours and waved her hands around . There was a cliff . Panic built up in her chest  , as she crawled away from the cliff . She looked up at her hands , at her dagger . She couldn't even see the light that it was emitting earlier . She heard screams , Percy's screams , and a vague hissing voice screeching "You see the horror of the pit? Give up, Percy Jackson. Isn't death better than enduring this place?"   Arai . But she was out . There were no Arai in New Rome . She heard another scream . Percy . She fell , it felt as if she was floating , she was in a tunnel , a round tunnel full of spiders that never ended . She reached upto her stomach , her hands came wet . She was loosing conscience . She heard Percy scream one more time . She stood up with all the strength she had left . She pulled herself out of the tunnel . She heard another scream 
"Annabeth " She ran towards that direction . Another scream , coming from the opposite direction . She couldn't see . She fell down and felt her surroundings , a pit , a small pit . She tried to pull herself out yet she couldn't . She felt the eyes of thousands of small beings on her . Spiders . 
Annabeth jumped up and got out franctically . She stepped on something , warm and squishy . She felt what it was , soft hair , eyes , nose . She felt the scar running from his torso to his upper chest .  It was the body of a dead Percy  . She held his head , tried to wake him up . He wouldn't wake up . He wasn't breathing .
" please wake up , don't die on me , you can't " She muttered distraught . He didn't reply . With the last ounce of strength she had left in her body , she lifted up her dagger and embedded it into her stomach , right before she fainted .
