I would like you to know. I edited this story from 3rd to 1st person so, if you see he instead of I, It was not on purpose! I just missed it when I was editing! I am sorry. (I honestly hate when people's grammer is wrong, I just can't read and end up correcting them, so correct me if you see something wrong!)

Wow this is long! Sorry!

Percy's POV

They said it would get better.

That I would move on but I can't. I loved her. They said that in a year it would be easier...

Well, it's been a year and I can't move on.

How can you move on from something so close like that? Annabeth made me happy. I made her happy, but now nothing can make me happy because, I never even got to say good-bye. She's dead. So was Malcolm, and Aaron, and all the other Athena kids, because of that stupid fire.

They said it was an accident, but I don't believe it. With the threat it seemed it was planned. But why?

That was the question I've been asking myself for a year now.

But today I was too sad, to ask that question. Today she should have been 19, but she isn't because she only made to 18.

Piper must have seen the restless waves "Hey, want some?" She held her hand out to show 5 strawberries, as red as blood.

I smiled at her and took one. Piper had been there with me when Annabeth was declared dead. I don't like like Piper. She is more of a sister, she just comforts me whenever she sees that sad look in my eyes. And she knows how to calm me down.

I could tell it was hard on Piper, too. Piper had become almost as close to Annabeth, in the time I was missing, as I did in the 5 years I knew her. I think it's because Piper is so much like Silena, and Annabeth loved Silena.

Loved

Past-tense.

Because both of those people are gone.

"Hey, she would want you to be happy." Piper said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "She wouldn't want you causing earthquakes and hurricanes."

I rolled my eyes "I am not causing earthquakes and hurricanes."

"But you could." Piper raised her eyebrows, and gestured to the restless waves. "These could be hurricane waves, and I think I felt the earth sha-"

I chuckled a little bit "Hey, it's not my fault, the sea does not like to be restrained!"

Piper's expression turned grim, "No one's restraining you. You are."

I knew she was right. I needed to let go. But I couldn't. It's not as easy as it seems.

"Percy, just let go. I am not saying you should go date other people, but I am saying you should stop moping, be happy, joke around, be sarcastic, like you used to. I can't say I have known you long enough. I don't know what you were like before Camp Jupiter, but from what Annabeth told me, you weren't like this. I am also, not saying you should act like a 12 year old. We already have one of those. His name is Leo."

I laughed. Leo, died. You'd think that if you died, you would become more focused and less sarcastic, but not with Leo. He became worse that he was before. Joke every ten seconds. But he was so funny when he did. I was glad he didn't change.

"See, that laugh, you need to laugh like that more often!" Piper pushed my shoulder. "That is a good laugh."

"Piper, can I ask you a question?" I asked.

"Well you just did, so I don't see why not?"

I chuckled "Are you a philosopher?"

Piper doubled over laughing. "No, but I would make a really good one!"

"Hey, Piper, Percy! Chiron needs you!" Will yelled.

Piper sent him a thumbs up. Her face was red from laughing. "You feeling better?"

"Sure." I smiled.

. . .

As soon as we got in there, nobody smiled.

And I thought I was gloomy. I thought.

"Ah, you made it. We have something to discuss." Chiron said. "As you all know over a year ago, the Athena cabin burned down. Everyone believed for it to be an accident. Well, now we have reason to believe, it was not. We have received another threat."

My expression did not change, but inside I was screaming could I not catch a break?

"This threat" Chiron turned towards me "asking for Annabeth."

A/N:

BOOM!

Cliffhanger!

Just so you know this story is not just about how everyone would act if Annabeth died.

No. This is an actual plot.

P.S. NEXT CHAPTER! REALLY EXCITING!
