Revenge & A Stream of Broken Hearts

A Love Hangover

The next day, I thought nothing but of him. The same him that took me to a fancy dinner. And the same him that carried my heavy body to his own bed, while he lie on a cramped couch. The same him that wouldn't let me leave until I got a healthy breakfast. The same him that drove my truck over to his apartment in the middle of the night. Him. I can't help, but want to fall in love with him.

He called me this afternoon. Wanting to go out on another date. At his apartment. Dun... Dun... Dunnnn!!!! Oh, boy! I can't wait. I have to call Vivian and tell her! Oh... yeah... We still aren't back on talking terms, yet. Great! I might as well just apologize and gain her back as a friend. I tap in her number. Speed dial 2. Cuz 1 is voicemail. Is three, Percy? Stupid conscience.

"Annabeth?"

"Yeah, hey. Um... Vivian."

"Hey."

"Look, I'm really sorry and-"

"It's fine. You were right. I was being rude. So, I'm sorry."

"Hey, you wanna come over?'

"Sure." A few minutes later, Vivian arrived at my door. I told her all about my perfect date with Percy. I told her that I really, really, really like him. Also that I am going on another date this weekend. A movie night at his place. She didn't interrupt, until now, "Looks like somebody's got a love hangover!"

"I'm not in love with him." I might've assured myself, more than her, though.

"You will be." What is she talking about? After one date, I'm instantly in love with the guy? No way! Maybe.

"Bethy!"

"What?" I shake away my thoughts.

"I've been calling your name."

"Sorry."

"I said, are you still doing your revenge on Cole?"

"Definetly, I'm not going to stop just because of one guy!"

"Good. Your deadline is soon."

"Oh, crud! You're right!" I run to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"To the gym. Want to come?" She shrugs and follows me.

We work out for what seems like forever. But then, she has to go to some college frat party. It's only me now. I have lost a ton of weight. Just for proof, I go over to the scale. Once I measure it correctly, I shout, "Hallelujah!" Everybody gives me a deadly glare. Then, I spot a tall man that's name tag reads, 'owner'. That must be Percy's father. I approach him.

"Hello, I'm Annabeth." I stretch out my hand for him to shake.

"I'm Silas?" He gave me a questioning look.

"Oh. Um... I'm dating your son, Percy."

"I don't have a son."

"What? But he told me... He.. He said that-"

"I'm just kidding," He chuckles. "Well, you are much prettier than any of his other girlfriends he's had."

"Thank you." I flinch at the thought of Percy dating anyone else but me. Wait, why am I being like this? Errg!

"I like you more, too. And it's not because you work out at my gym!" We laughed, loudly. Then, we said our goodbyes.

Right now, I am a loner. I'm just hanging around in my room. Running my fingers along the walls and listening to music. Royals by Lorde blasts loudly throughout the whole house. Wow, one tiny radio machine can make that much noise? Well, you learn something knew everyday.

'Let me be your ruler, ruler.

You can call me queen bee!

And baby I rule. I rule, I rule, I rule!

Let me live that fantasy!'

You sing it Lorde!! Ya!! WOOO!!

Sorry about that... So, I just kind've chilled for about an hour. Then, Percy sends me a message. Hmmmm... I wonder what it's about. I open the text, and see... HOLY CRUD!!!! I can't believe Percy! How could he! We're supposed to be dating! It must have been a mistake that he sent it to me. He probably meant to text his other girlfriend!

To: Percy

From: Annabeth

Can you come over? We need to talk.

I press send. A sharp pain grows in my chest. Why am I feeling hurt? He's a player. He never cared about me in the first place. I don't love him. I don't. That's what I told Vivian. Doesn't mean it's true! Yes, it does. I said it out loud, so that's the same as confessing something. Inside my mind I might've admitted feeling for him. But not anymore. I knew that dating him was a mistake. Now, I'm the one left broken.

In no time, I hear a faint knock on the front door. I roll up my sleeves, and put on an angry face. I open the door way too fast. But it's not Percy that I see. It's...it's... My dad?
