Annabeth's POV

I noticed him walk by. I noticed the way his eyes wandered away from the sight of us. And I noticed the hurt that those usually sparkling eyes.

But I couldn't acknowledge it.

I knew if I did, Luke wouldn't be very happy about it. Recently, he's been a little on edge. Losing his temper quickly, and apologizing the next day.

I wanted to end it. It was getting too much. I wasn't happy. I never really was. But I was scared on how he would act, so I stayed with Luke, smiling through the pain.

Oh how desperately I wanted to cry out right then and there that I was done with him, when he once again snapped at me for arriving a few minutes late from the time we agreed on. And oh how desperately I wanted Percy to step in and save me.

But I also knew that he wouldn't. And I wouldn't.

There might be some mentions of abuse from now on, but I'm not going into detail. So yah, to use the "fanfiction slang"
