Thalia POV

We'd done it, sort of. Our plan was working. Operation Percabeth was in action. Piper had come up with the name, naturally, but we all agreed it worked. Soon, we'd have our friends back together, and that bitch Hannah out of the picture for good.

Annabeth POV

When I woke up, I remembered we were going back to our apartment today. Not staying in a hotel anymore for tour, actually coming home! I eagerly jumped out of bed and threw on a pair of jeans and a blue sweater. Hurrying to brush my teeth while packing, I attempted to straighten up the area and collect my stuff into the suitcase.
When I'd eaten, packed, and gotten completely ready, I called for Thalia and Nico to leave.
"Come on, guys! Let's go!"
I banged on their door angrily.
The door opened as I was leaning against the kitchen counter. Thalia walked out confidently as she dragged her suitcase behind her and straightened her jacket slightly. Nico followed close behind, his hair completely messed up and suitcase trailing behind him as well.
I rolled my eyes at their obviousness, although deep inside my heart longed for a perfect relationship like theirs. Sighing, I walked outside, rushing to the car.
We arrived back at the apartment. Well, apartments. We had two apartments, as I could afford to pay both with the job I have.
I ran inside as fast as possible, rushing up to my room. Once inside, I collapsed on my bed in exhaustion and pure joy.
"Thank gods I'm back!" I exclaimed. Yawning, I added, "And thank Hypnos for the existence of sleep!"
With that, I passed out, not even giving a second thought about anything.

Percy POV

"Dude, come on!" Jason urged me, but I refused to move.
"Seriously, what is it?" I groaned.
"You have another concert tonight!"
"A, are you kidding me?" I sighed. "And B, are you freaking kidding me?"
"Come on, Percy, you have to go!" Hannah pleaded, her eyes glimmering with sorrow.
"Fine." I stood up and walked to the mirror. Quickly fixing my hair, I declared, "Ready to go!"
Jason sighed with exasperation. "Are you freaking serious? Begging you to go for an hour, and Hannah asks once, and you agree?"
I smirked and said, "What can I say? It was my choice. Besides, I can't say no to her."
Wrapping my arms around Hannah, I pulled her close to me and kissed her forehead.
"Percy, you have to go," She reminded me.
I nodded. "See ya, Hannah," I smiled at her, leaving the apartment.

When I arrived at the concert, I glimpsed a bit of blonde hair and realized - I'd be performing with Annabeth, some of the songs from our new albums.
I'm so screwed.
Trying not to look her straight in the eye, I greeted Annabeth, "Hey, Wise Girl."
"Hey, Seaweed Brain," she smiled. "Looks like we'll be performing a lot together now."
"I guess we will."
Annabeth placed her hands on my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes, despite being a few inches shorter than me. "Percy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I guess I'm just tired." I couldn't admit the fact that I was hopelessly in love with her, although I was engaged.
Annabeth knew I was lying. She could sense it, but she went along with the fail of a lie. "Okay, I guess I'll just see you on stage..." Her voice trailed off as she left to wait backstage.
I sighed and sat down. Did I seriously just lie to my best friend?
When we went on stage, we performed effortlessly, although I knew we were both tense. I could barely handle standing within five feet of her, but while knowing I had lied to her.
Annabeth exited the stage, allowing me to sing a few songs of my own.
"Okay, this one's called 'Cooler Than Me'," I announced. "I have a feeling some of you will be able to relate."
I took a deep breath, tensing up slightly. The song was mainly about Annabeth - with a few slight tweaks so it wouldn't be obvious. But the truth was, I wished I could write a song to make her fall in love. Not like Aphrodite's forced love, but real love, although sadly I knew that would never happen.
"If I could write you a song
And make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm.
I used up all of my tricks,
I hope that you like this.
But you probably won't.
You think you're cooler than me.
