Percy's POV
Annabeth had been asleep for months now. At least three months but I try not to keep count. It just makes the depression worse. I probably look horrible. I haven't taken a shower in about a week, I was crying all the time so my eyes were red and they hurt. A lot. I had bags under my eyes from not being able to sleep. I was taking anti-depressants but they didn't work very well.
I was currently sitting by Annabeth's bed holding her hand. When I wanted to visit her, no one bothered me. Today was her birthday. July 12. She was officially 24 years old. I had brought her a bouquet of flowers. Again. There were over 20 bouquets of flowers in here that were just from me. I picked up her hand and kissed the back of it.
"You're gonna miss your birthday, Annabeth." My voice came out scratchy and quiet. "I miss you, Anna. I wish you would wake up. I can't even sleep without you here with me. Your stepmom refused to come, said she was too busy. I called her the other day just to tell her how much of a bitch she was being. I love you so much. Of course, you already know that. If you can hear me at all, you've heard me say that at least 300 times now. I've got to go Annabeth. I'll see you later. Please wake up." I gave her one last kiss before standing up to walk out.

Annabeth's POV
I felt horrible. I have ADHD so I always feel the need to move. But I can't move. I can't bring myself to do anything. Though I wish I could. I keep hearing people talk to me. They ask me if I can hear them. I can but I can't bring myself to answer them.
There's this one voice that I hear for hours on end everyday. Some guy telling me he loves me over and over again. He seems too sad to be my friend. He might be my dad but he seems young. I don't know who it is. I heard him today. He told me it was my birthday. "I wish you would wake up." I heard him say.
So I tried. I tried as hard as I could. He said he had to leave. I didn't want him to leave. I needed Percy. Percy. My boyfriend. I could never forget him. "Please wake up." He said quietly.
So I did.

Percy's POV
"Percy." I turned to look at her. Tears streamed down my face when I saw her eyes finally meet mine. I walked over to her.
"What are you doing awake, Anna?" I looked down at her. "Do you know who I am?"
"You're my boyfriend. Right?" She looked at me with wide, questioning eyes. I nodded and she smiled slightly. I leaned down and kissed her forehead and started to walk out. "No, don't leave me." I looked back at her.
"I'll be right back. I promise." She nodded slightly but reluctantly. I walked out and got a doctor from the front desk. He walked in and checked to make sure that she was okay. Then he told her what happened and asked her if she remembered anything. He also told her that she might suffer from slight memory loss. She looked like she just wanted to be alone. I frowned slightly. The doctor left and told me I could stay as long as needed and that he was going to tell everyone else about the news.
I walked back into the room and looked at her. She looked exhausted and like she needed a shower. I sat down next to her before taking her hand in mine and kissing the back of it.
"Do you remember where you went?" She looked up at me and nodded slightly but scrunched up her eyebrows as if she had to think really hard to remember. Which she probably did.
"I went to a party at my friend's house. This guy tried to- well he tried to go a little too far so I ran. But I was crying so hard I got into a car accident. I think." She explained. I nodded."You should have told me. It makes me think that you think of me as a bad boyfriend when you don't even trust me enough to tell me where you're going." I looked down at her and she looked like she was about to cry. I wrapped my arms around her. "Please don't cry." I pleaded, hoping it would stop the flow of emotion from getting to be too much for her to handle.
I looked down at her and she looked up at me. I leaned down slightly and kissed her. And for the longest time, she kissed back. And I smiled as wide as I have in months. We stopped and she looked up at me.
"When do I get out of here?" She asked me quietly. I chuckled softly.
"You're not going to like this answer." She sighed and motioned for me to continue. "In a week." I told her. She sighed dramatically this time.
"This is just like the last time!" She complained and I laughed.
"I know. I'm sorry. It's not my decision but if it was then I would let you out tomorrow or something. I would stay overnight but I have plans tonight." I trailed off. It was true. I did have stuff I had to do. But it was not with friends.
It was at a store. With Annabeth's birth mom. To pick out a ring.
Yes, everyone. Your suspicions are correct. I was going to ask Annabeth to marry me. And hopefully she would say yes. Otherwise, I would be seriously embarrassed. Then again, when am I not embarrassing myself. No, let's not think about that. Annabeth would say yes. Annabeth loves me. And I love her. And I would do anything to spend the rest of my life with her. I can't think of this right now, too much to think about at the moment.
"Percy! Snap out of it! Babe what's going on?!" Annabeth snapped me out of my trance. "What are your plans tonight?" Think of a lie Percy, think of a lie. Come on you can do this.
"I'm going out with Jason and Frank. It's supposed to be helpful to me. With all my depression and all." I acted like I was annoyed. She nodded but frowned. "I know. I'm sorry Babe." I leaned down and kissed her softly. "Okay I gotta go but I'll be back tomorrow. I promise." She nodded and I kissed her once more before walking to the door and leaving whilst waving goodbye to her.
