On The Road to Somewhere

Chapter One

"Are you even listening?" A pretty blonde shouts at the boy in front of her.

He was looking at the woods for the tenth time today.

Like he was searching for something.

'He can't be! We have everything right here!' The girl thought as she gazed at her boyfriend's tired expression.

"Percy!" She shouts louder, stomping her foot on the ground she groans in anger. Others stopped to watch the famous couple of the camp.

"Hm?" The boy, Percy, snaps at attention.

"Oh sorry Annabeth." He apologizes and the girl, Annabeth, looks like she's about to slap him.

"Why are you staring at the forest?" She demands.

"I don't know?"

"You sound unsure."

"I said 'I don't know' Wise Girl!" Everyone was shocked, the two never argued before!

"You spend more time looking that dumb woods more than you actually do hanging out with me!" She shouts and he just sits there.

"I don't see you anymore." He softly states, no one noticed but he is actually very smart. But with lack of sleep, monster attacks, and making his girlfriend think she's smarter, he has been labeled as an idiot.

"W-what does that have to do with it?"

"You've grown distant lately and have been spending time with Drake Thomas son of Ares. Color me suprised when I found you kissing Drake, I thought you tripped and he caught you. But that was before I saw the hicky on your neck. And since we've never gone that far it could only mean that you were making out with him."

"P-Percy?"

"Oh and by the way, do a better job hiding your little pregnancy bump next time." The camp was stunned by what he said.

"Percy I can explain." Percy turned to face her and when she looked into his eyes, she truly saw how broken he was.

"No Annabeth, I'm tired." He turned to walk away but Annabeth wasn't having that.

"You're tired? Is that your best excuse?" She screams and he turns around showing off the raging seas turning in his eyes.

"I'm tired." He glares at her.

"I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not." He inches away from them at every sentence.

"I'm tired of having to act like an idiot to make you seem superior."

"I'm tired of all the lying."

"I'm tired of all the wars."

"I'm tired of all the quests."

"I'm tired of being used."

He makes it to Thalia's Tree.

"I'M TIRED OF ALL OF YOU!" He screams before running down the hill.

Everyone was to shocked to chase after him. What had they done to him?

Then it hit them.

They blamed all the deaths on him. Not stopping to think of how he felt.

"What have we done?" A soft whisper exited the mouth of the last person he really looked at. Annabeth Maria Chase.
