Help From A Golden Boy (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Ch. 7

Last couple chapters in Percy's POV

I can't believe instead of showing Annabeth the guest room, I showed her my room. My room. I haven't cleaned the place for awhile. I couldn't help it though. Everytime I look at her I want to kiss her until both of our lips fall off. Currently she's gushing about how beautiful the room is. I, personally, think the room is boring. With its gray walls and dull purple bedding.

"It's beautiful." I heard Annabeth say as she turns around to face me.

"I'm glad you like it." I tell her genuinely tell her. I'm glad she likes it. I don't want her to stay here and not like where she's staying.

Annabeth and I are very close now. I see her face turn red. I wonder what she's thinking about.

I start inching my face towards hers, very slowly. I realize how much taller I am then her, over a head taller. I see her face inching towards mine too. Just when I think we're about to kiss.. BAM!

My mother announces that dinner is done. Annabeth and I jump apart, both of our faces looking like Rudoph's nose threw up on us. We make our way to the dinner table in silence. Annabeth wouldn't look me in the eye during the whole mean, or look at me at all.

I shouldn't have tried to kiss her.

But she was so close.

And her lips, ugh, they looked so kissable, I had to try.

She also was leaning towards me too.

It takes two to tango. Just saying.

After supper Annabeth practically sprinted to her room, I was right behind her after saying a quick goodnight, or something like that, I don't exactly remember. I was to busy thinking mulling over our almost-kiss. I hope I didn't ruin our chances of at least becoming friends.

With a sigh, I get in bed and let sleep consume me.

*.*.*.*.*

I woke up hearing screaming. I jump out of my bed and start running towards where the screaming is coming from, which is Annabeth's room. When I run through the door I see her crying hysterically and screaming in her bed. My heart hurt for her, I wish I could take her pain away but I don't know what's hurting her this way. I heard somewhere that you shouldn't wake someone up from a nightmare but watching Annabeth hurt this way makes me forget all about that.

I get closer to the bed and say loudly "Annabeth, wake up!" She still doesn't wake up.

I sit down beside her on the bed. She starts thrashing around again and almost knocks me off the bed. I wrap my arms around her and I say urgently in her ear "Annabeth! Wake up!" This time, I see her open her eyes a bit before she starts crying into my shoulder. I hold her as tight as I can without hurting her. Annabeth's shoulders went  up and day as she sobbed. After awhile, her cries died down and she pulls away from me. Her face goes Rudolph Red (which is the color of Rudolph the Reindeer's nose) when she sees that it was my shoulder which she just cried her heart out into.

After a moment of just staring at each out I ask her, "Are you alright?"

Annabeth just hung her head, probably thinking that it would hide the fact that she looked more embarrassed then ever. Before I can stop myself, I put a couple fingers under her chin and guided her head up so she could look me in eye (which she avoids doing). Doing a simple gesture like that brought butterflies to my stomach. Except it felt more like a billion huge  butterflies trying to break free of the prison they're being held in. I saw Annabeth's gaze go back to my shoulder, which was bare since I wasn't wearing a shirt. I'm pretty sure Annabeth realizes this fact because her face gets an even darker shad of red (if that's possible). I almost chuckled at her embarrassment, but I don't. I feel like it'll ruin the moment, whatever moment we're in anyway.

"Are you alright?" I ask again. Annabeth just looks at me for a second before saying, "I got your shoulder all wet."

"That's okay, I can wipe it off." I tell her seriously. I probably would've made a joke about it, or even laughed at how cute she is, but I don't because she looks upset about it. Which is weird because it's not gonna hurt anyone with a few tears on my shoulder.

"Are you gonna answer the question?" I ask her gently. I don't get mad or anyting, that won't help. I see an internal battle go through her eyes before she decides to not answer my question.

"What are you doing in here anyway?" She asks me. I sigh, realizing that I'm not gonna get an answer out of her.

"I heard you screaming and crying in your sleep, so I came to see if you were alright." I tell her.

"I think I'm alright now, thank you." Annabeth says, but she still won't meet my eye.

"I'm here if you want to talk about it. You know that right?" I ask her. I want her to know that she can come to me if she needs anything. I want her to trust me enough to talk to me. When I see her nod her head, I stand up and start walking to the door.

Right as I reached the door Annabeth called after me, "Wait!" I turned around slowly, wondering what she could want to say.

"Can you stay with me?" She asks very quietly, I almost didn't hear her. I was shocked, to say the least. All I could do was nod as I made my way to her bed. We both got under the cover. Annabeth laid her head on my shoulders and I wrapped my arm around her waist. It felt so natural to be laying with Annabeth, like I've done it my whole life.

This is how it should be, be and my girl. But Annabeth wasn't my girl. I doubt she'd ever fall for me. Where she's so beautiful, I bet she could get any boy she wanted.

Impulsively, I bent down towards Annabeth's head and whispered, "I will always stay with you." Then I kissed her forehead.
