A/N: First of all, yes I keep naming one shots and chapters after the same song, but you know what? I don't care. 5SOS are great writers and have a great team of writers behind them so I will continue until there isn't a single line from their growing discography unused as a chapter/one shot name.

Enjoy,

"And that's a wrap." The director said, and everyone dispersed. Annabeth could finally take a breath, and get some food.

Percy was back in New York for the week, while she had an event in LA. She had asked him to come, but she understands that once a mama's boy, always a mama's boy.

She got dressed in her sweats and headed for her hotel room that was missing her boyfriend.

Annabeth got to her hotel room and immediately called Percy.

"Hey, Babe." She said giddily.

"Beth— it's one am, are you okay?" He rubbed his eyes cutely.

"Oh, shit—" She checked the clock on the nightstand. It read eleven pm.

"Is everything okay?" Concern flooded his voice.

"Yeah— yeah, everything's fine, I just miss you is all."

"I miss you too." He said sleepily. His bed head warming her heart. "I wish you were here."

"Me too, but I leave in two days. It's not so bad." She smiled.

"Yeah." A beat. "Isn't it late there? Don't you need to start your routine?"

"I do, but I'd rather talk to you. My face can skip a night of ice rolling to spend time with you."

"You're the breadwinner between us, so go do your ice rollers, I love you." He said, before closing his eyes.

"I love you." She said before hanging up.

Sure, it wasn't the most fulfilling conversation, but he was half asleep, and she did need to do her routine.

Opening the mini fridge, her ice rollers were more water rollers— well, a gooey mess, that would probably cause more inflammation than anything else. She forgot to set the temperature on the fridge, so she couldn't even cool down her face from the lights and makeup.

Wanting to scream but foreboding it for slamming the mini door closed.

A text from one of her friends out in LA came through. Her friend Silena, from her first Covergirl shoot, popped up, asking her if she wanted to come to a party on the boulevard.

She responded and quickly dressed in her hottest, 'least' Percy verified outfit she could manage to get together.

Calling an Uber, which was somehow more expensive in LA than in New York, she double checked her lip gloss before stepping out into flashing lights and pounding music.

"Anna!" Silena ran over. Silena was beautiful, six one, long dark hair, and a face to rival the gods, she was the essence of beauty in Annabeth's eyes. "You look hot. That boy-toy of yours better watch out tonight."

"He's passed out in New York, I'm probably not even on his radar." She said truthfully.

"Come, come, you have to join my little gang."

Annabeth let herself be pulled through the sweaty bodies and sticky floor to a corner booth in the back of the club behind red rope.

"You got a booth?"
