Annabeth 

As I wake up on the right side of a bed, I feel someone next to me, I instantly know that it is Percy. He has his arm wrapped around my waist. I feel so protective whenever I am around Percy, because I know that whatever happened, he will always defend me. I take a look around me and notice I am in the camps infirmary. Percy must have brought me back to camp. I wince in pain as I try to move around, then i remember that I was stab by a telchine. Percy must have noticed I moved because his eyes slowly opened.

"Hey, seaweed brain." I said. His eyes instantly shot open and he hugs me tight in his arms.

"Ouch, it hurts. I said. Percy immediately lets go of me.

"I am fine, Percy." I said struggling to sit up.

"Here, let me help." He said as e slowly lifts my back up.

I lightly touch the wound and notice most of it has already been healed. Percy is standing on the side of the bed, looking very worried.

"I'm fine, seaweed brain." I said.

"Not from where I'm looking." He sighed.

"How long was I out?" I questioned.

"I think it's about two days. I didn't really keep track of time. I was staying with you all the time." I replied.

"You didn't eat or anything." I said in disbelief.

"Nope. Well, except for the bathroom." He replied.

"You don't have to that for me, Percy." I said.

"You are my girlfriend, of course I have to do that for you." He said. I smile at him.

Somehow, I feel really happy that Percy decides to stay with me, but I also feel bad that he didn't eat anything because of me.

"Listen, Annabeth I am sorry." He said.

"Why are you saying sorry? You didn't do anything wrong." I said.

"I am sorry for letting you get hurt." He said.

"It's ok, Percy." I said in a smooth voice.

"It's all my fault, if I did help you, maybe you wouldn't end up like this." He said with sorrow in his eyes.

"This is not your fault, Percy." I said getting a little annoyed.

"Still, if I... Mmmph." Percy tried to say.

Sometimes, he is so annoying. I did the only thing that will shut him up. I pulled him by his shirt collar and bring him in for a kiss. He relaxed for a few seconds and kissed me back passionately.

"It's not your fault." I sadi as we pull apart.

"I swear to you, Annabeth. I"ll neverlet you get hurt again. He said as he caresses my cheek and I lean into his touch.

"Good. Can you get me up? I want some food." I said as my stomach growls. I heard him chuckle from Percy as he said, 

"Sure, wise girl." He said smirking at me.

He puts one hand on my back and one hand onb my thighs, and the he slowly lifts me up off the bed.

"Percy, put me down. I can walk by myself." I commanded.

"Are you sure?" He questioned.

"Yeah, put me down." I demaneded.

He puts me down and instantly, I stumble and fall on the floor, but not before he catches me in his arms.
