(SEQUEL TO TAKEN BY FORCE! If you have not read my book Taken By Force then I advise you to go read it before reading this book otherwise you will have no idea who a couple people are and it will be confusing when they talk about their past! Please...
Today was the day I was going to go shopping with Jason and Frank. I was told by Annabeth that she was going to see what she could find for wedding rings. She wanted them to be customized to our liking. Apparently her uncle on her dad's side has work for customizing wedding rings which is nice. Hopefully we won't have to pay so much for them cause you have no idea how much those places costed. But I will never tell Annabeth about it. Because she'll get mad so I can't tell her. She's so happy I don't want to bring her down.
I got up and walked into the kitchen to see Annabeth had made blue waffles in return for me making breakfast for her yesterday before she went shopping. I grabbed a plate and started eating. I almost expected the guys to be here already but they're always late so I honestly shook it off when I saw that they weren't here. Annabeth looked up at me as I poured syrup on my waffles. She smiled and walked over to me. She wrapped her arms around my torso. I smiled and turned around to look at her.
"What's wrong, Annabeth?" She didn't answer but just shrugged. I chuckled. "Okay so I'm going to eat then, and you should too."
"Who said I wasn't eating?" I shrugged at her.
"No one, Annabeth. But sometimes when you're stressed you forget that you need to actually eat." She waved me off and started eating her waffles. I chuckled and kissed her on the cheek. I sat down at the table and started eating. The guys chose this moment to walk in.
"Hey Perce. You ready?" Jason questioned. I nodded and got up. I cleaned my plate in the sink. I walked over to Annabeth and put her chin up so she could kiss me. She leaned in and kissed me softly before hugging me.
"Have fun." I heard her whisper. I smiled and looked down at her. She looked back up to meet my eyes. "I wish you could stay." I nodded.
"Yeah the last thing I want to do is going shopping for a suit for my own wedding. When are you going for your bridesmaids?" I inquired.
"I already know what my bridesmaids are wearing. They are renting their dresses I just want them all to be dressed in the same shade of blue." I nodded and smiled down at her. I kissed her forehead one last time before walking away from her and out the door.

We got to the store and I sighed. In all honesty I didn't really want to do this. Of course I was excited for my wedding and I wanted to get my suit as soon as possible, but it's so much effort to actually get up and have the patience to actually pick it out. I had been looking at suits on the internet to see what I would like but I didn't know what they would have.
We walked into the store and I looked around. It was a nice place, looked fancy. I looked at them. "How long do you guys think this is gonna take?" I inquired.
"Probably hours, knowing you." Frank patted me on the back and I scoffed and gestured them to walk in with me.

It was hours later. We had decided that if I didn't like this last suit then we would just go somewhere else. It was too much. I walked out and looked in the mirror. I smiled and the guys came and patted me on the back.
"You look sharp, Man." Frank stayed and Jason nodded. I nodded.
"So do you see yourself getting married in this suit, Perce?" I looked at Jason and nodded.
"Yes. Yes I do. And I think Annabeth will love it." I smiled at both of them.
"Wanna wear it out so you can show it to Annabeth right away?" I nodded. I didn't know that was a thing but of course I did. We somehow got away with it and paid for it and I wore it all the way on the ride home. I stopped right outside of Annabeth and I's apartment. I smiled at them.
"You guys are the best. I'll see you later." They both smiled and walked into the apartment across the hall. I sighed and walked into the apartment, still in my suit. "Honey I'm home!" I yelled into the apartment. I walked into the kitchen to see Annabeth on the phone. She was wearing nothing but a bra, underwear, and one of my oversized t-shirts.
"Can you please just listen to me that's not what I want! No, don't you dare- ugh!" She hung up the phone as they put her on hold. I walked over to her and started to rub her shoulders. She sighed after a couple minutes and turned around to hug me. "You look great. I mean wow, I love it." I smiled down at her.
"What's been happening here?" I looked down at her in confusion.
"Stupid ring service. My uncle won't let me talk to him because my step mom told him I was a disgrace to our family. Percy, my whole family hates me what am I gonna do?!" She cried out in hysterical sobs and I wiped away her tears. I kissed her forehead and grabbed her bridal style. I put her on the couch and went to get changed. Once I was in my usual sweatpants, I walked back in.
Annabeth was curled up on the couch, still crying. "Annabeth is there something else that's been bothering you? I never thought I'd ever see you so stressed. What happened, Babe?" She looked up at me and shrugged.
"I was thinking what if we invite my entire family and no one comes all because of my step mom? What if my whole entire family hates me? Gods I'm so scared and what am I supposed to do about it? All of them hate me." I grabbed her and let her lay down on my lap.
"Everything is going to be okay, Honey. You need to calm down. Look, we don't need your damn uncle's company. You know what, fuck him. If he's stupid enough to believe your idiot of a step mom then so be it. Look, your family doesn't hate you. Let's pick out some wedding rings and see what we can find, okay?" She looked up at me and brought her fists up to her cheeks to wipe her tears. She nodded slightly and we went online.
After a while, we had finally picked out wedding rings. And they were definitely not from her uncle's company. I sighed. Wow, that was a lot of work. These rings were simple but they were going to have our fingerprints imprinted on them.

"I love them." She held my hand and I leaned down to kiss the top of her head.
"I love you." I looked down at her. She looked up and grabbed my chin before pulling me down and kissing me. "We should go to bed." She nodded and I grabbed her and carried her into bed. I gave her one last kiss before cuddling up with her and falling asleep, marking the end of the day.
Hey guys! Thanks for reading this chapter! I don't have that much to say, but I'm going to Arizona on Sunday so I won't be able to update very often. Well, that is until I get back. But I will probably still have time. Anyway, thank you for reading this chapter Percabeth Peoples. Remember to vote and comment suggestions for characters and events. And here's a question for ya, what do you think is going to happen with Luna and Oliver? Maybe I'll make Percabeth go to their house next chapter before the wedding. Anyway, thank you Percabeth Peoples for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter. Bye bye!
