*Not mine! All credits go to Rick Riordan. Let's must pretend Leo never saved Calypso. He just died and didn't come back. This is my first Wattpad story and it would mean a lot if you voted! Please, please, please, please, please, please, comment!!

Percy's POV

I staggered through the camp barriers, my arm bleeding. It was probably around 7. I was exhausted but I needed to see my Wise Girl. I haven't seen her since I went on the quest 5 months ago.

I walked into the infirmary. "Will? I'm back. How's everyone been?"

He took a glance at my arm and gave me some nectar. "I'm glad you're back. Everyone missed you. They're at the campfire. But Percy-"

I ran off before he could finish. I needed to see her. I had so much to tell her.

"Percy?" Nico ran to me.

"Nico! Is everyone ok?"

He looked down. "yea everyone's ok I guess but-"

I ran. I knew by now something was wrong.

"Annabeth?" I called, my voice cracking. "What are you doing?"

She was sitting at the campfire sitting next to this boy. He had green eyes and light brown hair. He seemed pretty tall but I couldn't tell. I vaguely remembered him from the Hermes cabin a few years ago.

"Who is this?" I whispered. My nightmare had come true. She left me...

Annabeth blushed. "I'm so sorry Seaweed brain. I knew you were alive but Alex is so charming and kind and handsome and... I'm kinda expecting."

I froze, taking it all in. Annabeth left me for Alex and now she's pregnant.

"I guess... if that makes you happy then I'm happy for you."

She jumped up and hugged me. "Oh, thanks, Percy! I knew you'd understand!" She kissed my cheek and walked back over to Alex.

I was dumbstruck. I ran back to Nico and Will in the infirmary. "Guys? Did you know? I asked, my voice cracking.

"Percy? Oh, I'm so sorry. I tried to tell Annabeth but she wouldn't listen. She seems head over heels for this guy." Nico said angrily.

Will put an arm around Nico and it seemed to calm him down some.

"Is there anything we can do?" Will asked

I wiped a tear and said, "I could use some ambrosia. And maybe some bandages"

Will looked at me. "Where exactly are you going?"

I sighed. "I can't stay here. I can't watch their children grow up. I have to go somewhere else."

Will shook his head. "Just be safe, ok?"

I nodded. "Of course"

~~~~~~~time skip to the next day~~~~~~

I walked past Thalia's tree. I turned around. This was my home, but not anymore. I've been forgotten and replaced.

I turned around and made the hike to the city. I couldn't stay with my mom because I would endanger her and Estelle and Paul. I didn't have any other family or anywhere to stay. I knew where I had to go.

I made my way to the Empire State Building.

"600th floor."

"There's no such thing kid. Move along."

I took out Riptide and held it at his throat. "Don't even start telling me what's real and what's not. Now. Key?"

He handed it to me and I went up the elevator. I tried not to think about what I was going to do, or else my hands started shaking.

All of the council was there. "Perseus Jackson" Zeus boomed. "Why are you here?"

I looked all of them in the eyes. "I have a request. I'm sure you all know Annabeth recently left me"

*cue Aphrodite screaming*

"And I would like to make an offer. I know this isn't very common, but if you can send me to a place I will be safe and not have to worry about camp again, I'll fight whoever, whenever you need me."

Zeus looked around the room. "So you're asking for us to send you somewhere you can be safe and not bothered, but you'll come back whenever we need you?"

I nodded. "I'd also like to have someone there. Maybe a dog or one of my friends.

Zeus thought it over. "Any against his request?"

Nobody raised their hand.

"Very well."

He waved his hand, and I appeared on an island. A very familiar island...

"Percy?" I was tackled. "What are you doing here?"

I looked up at Calypso. She looked the same, and yet more mature. More regal.

"I needed somewhere to live. Do you mind if I stay here?"

She grinned. "Of course not." She lightly kissed the tip of my nose.

I had a feeling we would be alright.
