He was Seaweed Brain and she was Wise Girl.

They grew up.

They brought a house.

Got married.

And lived happily.

He was Seaweed Brain and she was Wise Girl.

But now he was Seaweed Brain and she was gone.

Dear Seaweed Brain,

If you are reading this then it means I am dead. 

He had found this letter in the drawer next to their bed. It has been 2 days since Annabeth died. And he was broken.

I started writing this letter a month after I found out I had a brain tumor. I knew that I was going to die. It is terminal cancer, isn't it? 

Yes Annabeth, it was.

It's funny that after all we've been through I'm killed by a silly little sickness. And before you say it, I know it isn't silly. I don't know why I didn't let Apollo cure me, it just didn't feel right. It felt like I was cheating death, and we've done that one too many times, haven't we Seaweed Brain.

Percy nodded as tears started streaming down his face.

I was sad when my hair started coming out. But it was a sacrifice I was willing to take. It was either lose my hair in chemo or lose you. Unfortunately, I lost both.

He remembered when her hair started coming out. He found her long golden locks around the house. It was a shock but it kept her with him longer.

This letter is short because I don't like saying goodbye. I knew I was going to die. There was no doubt about it. The fates are cruel, aren't they? I want to say I love you and I wish we had longer together. I wanted us to have kids and send them to Camp Half-Blood. I wanted to publish a book. And I wanted to build something permanent. And I did didn't I. The Olympus Building is now standing tall in New York. And I built something with you. And I know that's something permanent.

I'm going to wait for you in Elysium ok? Just don't come down here to quickly.

I want you to live your life. Date other girls, make more friends. Don't get hung up about me. I know you will. But please, I will sleep in peace knowing you will be happy.

I love you,

Wise Girl

Percy collapsed on the bed. His Wise Girl was gone. And she wasn't coming back.

That was sad, wasn't it? Well, I like to think it made you cry but it probably didn't. 

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I love to be evil sometimes!
