Mid-Century Romance: A Percy and Annabeth Love Story | Percabeth AU| [Complete]

Chapter 16

Annabeth's POV

"I-I-I I can't!"

I turned and ran away. I ran to my favorite oak. I sat down in the shade of her branches and cried. I just cried.

The wedding was a complete disaster. I couldn't stand it anymore. I wasn't marrying him. I couldn't, when my heart belonged to someone else.

And that someone else followed me. Percy. I didn't look at him. I just cried. The salty tears were rolling down my face in waves. They reached my chin and dripped to the grass. At least I was watering the flowers.

Percy looked at me, concerning filling his eyes. He used one finger to lift my chin so he could see my face. I gazed into his sea green eyes. He took my hand and pulled me up.

"Annabeth. Please stop crying. I hate it when you cry because it makes me sad. Please."

I said nothing. One drop fell. Another. The tears came, but not so many this time. Percy kissed me gently.

"Annabeth, I love you and I would marry you right here, right now."

He took me into his arms and kissed my forehead. I buried my head in his shirt. We stood there, holding each other, in the shade of my favorite oak.

Meanwhile, back at the castle...

Piper's POV

I watched as Annabeth said, 'I can't' and ran out the door. I watched as Percy rushed outside to comfort her. Now, I'm watching Queen Athena, King Frederick, King Poseidon, and Queen Amphitrite talk about the events that had occurred. Triton, the little booger, stood at the alter, shocked.

Triton tried to court me whenever I when to balls or galas. Lucky for me, I was talking to Jason whenever he came up to me. Mother didn't care. She wanted me to settle down and find a husband, which was impossible for me.

Now, I'm going to take a stand for Percy and Annabeth. I walked up to the group of adults talking.

"Excuse me. I would like to say something."

They all nodded for me to continue.

"You can't possibly let this wedding continue. Annabeth obviously despises Triton. Why couldn't she marry one of King Poseidon's other sons. Like Perseus or Tyson? She might be.. happier. Queen Athena, all you want is for your daughter to be happy right?"

Queen Athena nodded.

"Please follow me."

Jason saw me and ran up to me. He gave me a really confused look.

"Pipes, what are you doing? Trying to get punished?"
"Jase, chill. I got this."

I pointed to the young couple sitting under the oak tree. Percy and Annabeth. The embraced each other. My heart was bursting with joy. Jason looked at what I was pointing at. He looked at me the way Percy looks at Annabeth. Then, Jason surprised me. He kissed me. I blushed when he pulled away.

The royals looked at the couple, either confused or excited. Queen Athena turned to the rest of the royalty.

"Well, does anyone agree the wedding must go on."

The adults nodded. I almost jumped and squealed. If not for Jason's arm around my waist, I would have.

Everyone that was outside went back inside for the ceremony to take place. I was sent to go fetch Annabeth and Percy. Hopefully she wouldn't run away this time. But, I knew she wouldn't.

"Annabeth! Percy!"

I found them under the oak. Now, they were laughing and talking. I beamed.

"Guys!"

They turned to look at me. I ran over to them.

" Back to the wedding?"
"No, I'm not going back there." Annabeth said, shaking her head.
"Sane here." Percy added.
"What if I told you, it was your wedding?" I asked with a smirk.
"What!" the couple said in unison.

I laughed.

"I'm not lying. Just go back. I promise you."

Percy looked at Annabeth and smiled. She grinned back. They grabbed hands and followed me back to the wedding.

Thankfully, nothing was messed up when they got there. Everyone was nicely sitting down and grinning. Except Triton. Oh well, can't make everyone happy.

This time Annabeth grinned as her father walked her down. I couldn't help but smile. The perfect wedding with the perfect couple.

I knew hope much they truly loved each other. Annabeth got to Percy. Her took her hands in his. Feeling the love of the moment, I leaned on Jason. He put his arm around my shoulders. From the seats, I was happy to hear the "I do"s.

"You may kiss the bride."

Yes! I finally finished this story! Celebrate good times! Come on! It's a celebration! I know my writing isn't the best but I'll try and improve. Hopefully the sequel will be better. And the title will be "Gone and left to rule" I think. If it changes, I'll let you know. So see ya in the sequel.
