Nico POV:
What the fuck am i gonna do!?!?! Percy cheated on her! And the worst part is, I AM THE ONE HE CHEATED ON HER WITH!!! Standing here now, i feel like a major douche bag.
"H- hey Annabeth... W-what brings you h- here...?" Damn my stutter.
"I just wanted to speak with... Wait, where's Percy?"
"He, uh... He's out." I choke out. WHY CAN'T I SPEAK! She gave me a look of confusion and I knew what was going through her head.
"Then what are you doing in his cabin?" I'm screwed now.
"I, um, I was, ah, looking for my..." STUPID BRAIN, THINK OF SOMETHING!
"My jacket! I was looking for my jacket. Yep. My jacket." There was an awkward silence for a few seconds. It felt like forever. She looked like she wanted to say something, but ignored any questions, which I'm extremely thankful for.
"Well, I wanted to tell Percy that I hate doing it but..."
"You hate doing what?"
We both froze. Annabeth turned around to be face to face with Percy. A hot and sweaty Percy in fact. His cheeks flushed, from sword training I'm guessing. What the hell is he gonna say to Annabeth?! He cheated on her with ME!
R.I.P.

DEATH BY GRIEF AND FEAR OF BEING CAUGHT FUCKING SOME GIRLS BOYFRIEND...
Percy walked over to the cabin door and moved past me, 'accidentally' brushing his hand across my ass. Which was bad timing because Annabeth saw my face turn into a tomato when he walked by me. She knows something's up. She's the daughter of freaking ATHENA! Why am I stating the obvious so much?! I'm so nervous.... Percy and Annabeth had a silent stare down, Percy with his chest against my back, peering over my head and a smile on his gorgeous face.
"What's up?" he said, calmly.
"I need to speak with you." Her eyes flicker to me. "Alone."
I couldn't see it, but I knew Percy's vibe changed. Now he wasn't so calm. He was anxious. Probably ready to get this over with.
"Okaaayyy..." he drug out the word for a while before putting his hands on my upper arms. He gently pulled me back and let Annabeth in. She walked over to the staircase and leaned against the wall. Percy and I walked just outside the door.
"Just give us a minute." he whispered.
"PERCY! She knows something's up! How are you so calm about this? How are you going to-" he shut me up by pressing his lips against mine. But he quickly pulled away, and stared into my eyes.
"I got this. Don't worry." I nodded as he gave me a reassuring smile and walked inside. After about five minutes, I started to wonder tremendously because the strangest part wasn't how long it was taking but the fact that there wasn't any yelling or shouting or things being thrown around. What if Percy chose her instead of me?! He said he loved me. Why would he do that? Probably because she's prettier and smarter and a GIRL! Hell, he will probably forget me and- The door suddenly opened. I whipped around just in time to see a very happy Annabeth walk out. Followed by Percy, who's also happy. But he seemed extra happy. Why, though, I didn't know. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion. What the hell is going on? Then Annabeth turned to me and bent down a little to my level. She stared me right in the eyes with a bright smile planted on her face. Her hands gently grabbed my shoulders.
"You've got a good one, Nico. Don't lose him." she sighs. She places a friendly, protective almost, chaste kiss on my forehead. Then looked up at Percy sorrowfully, with a hint of relief. "I did."
