You Promised Forever

Chapter 12

Percy

We had decider to postpone the ceremony for Jase. We, or well I, realized we had I give Emma time...five everyone time to recoup.. The camp was still grieving.

There is a difference between grieving and living in the past. Percy reminded himself...and for once, he was right.

Percy say by he ocean, looking out at he water that matched his eyes and sighed. A gentle breeze blew his way and he smelled the scent of a certain blonde hairs daughter of Athena. He turned to see Annabeth walking towards him. He closed his eyes for a moment and thought of a life without her and he was happy to open his eyes and see her standing there, reassuring him that he was okay, that they were okay... That they could still have a happy ending. He felt a bit in his stomach when he realized Emma didn't get the reassurance, she got loneliness, despair. Percy shuddered. His time in tartaruos had taught him enough about mosey and despair. That is when Percy decided: love is great, it's the best thing Someone can ever feel, but love is like a double sided sword, it can destroy you, kill who you once were and in return all you receive is a shell of your formal self. And hat shell was now His little sister, Emma. But was she even that anymore? Would she ever be? Percy didn't know. Heck- even Annabeth didn't know! Speaking of which, Annabeth sat beside him, he rapped his arms around her bf smiled...at least he had his wise girl.

Annabeth

I looked at Percy. The light wasn't as bright on his eyes. His shoulders were schlumped forward. Annabeths heart ached for him. She wished she could take all his pain away. First they had to deal with tartaruos, which as one might expect was having a great affect on both of them, then of course there was Emma, which Annabeth knew was Helping take away some of the energy and happiness that Percy live off of and found with in his friends and family and now even nico, who Percy and Annabeth had expect to help out since he was the ghost king, was distancing himself from Percy, Annabeth, and Jason Grace. Annabeth leaned into Percy as he rapped his arm around here.

We'll get through this. She thought. I'll come up with a plan and Percy and I will fix this. After all, if can survive tartaruos, we can make it through anything.
