Falling For Percy Jackson

A shattered heart

Percy's P.O.V

Percy's POV

It was just another day at CampHalf-Blood. The Apollo cabin were practicing their archery, the Stolls were pulling pranks on everyone, Clarrise and Chris were training, and everyone was just doing their own thing. Oh ya, forgot to introduce my self! Hi, I'm Percy Jackson and, uhhh, well, my dad is Poseidon, the God of the Sea. You see, i'm what you would call a half-blood. Half mortal and, well, half god. Anyway, I was sitting on the beach looking out over the ocean when I heard some one call my name.

"PERCY!" A voice yelled. I turned to see my girlfriend, Annabeth, running over to me. I've known Annabeth for years, she was one of my first friends at camp. Her mother was Athena.

"There you are Percy" She said slowly while trying to catch her breath. I smiled at her and hugged her.a

"Hey there, Wise Girl, how are you?" I asked as I held her. She looked at me with a serious face.

"Percy, can you let me go?" She asked. I let go and looked at her. I've known her for years, and after the Second Titan War, we started going out. I think our relationship took a huge hit though, when I disappeared for months, only to turn up at the Roman Camp, CampJupiter. She found though, and we were never far apart from each other after that. All through the Giant war, we never separated. Even after we fought Arachne and she was falling into Tarturus, I went with her. I protected her, I never let a single monster touch her. I loved her. She's the one for me. But the look on her face right now, it worried me. I had never seen her look at me like this. She wouldn't look in my eyes like she normally does.

"What's wrong, Annabeth?" I asked, my voice full of concern.

"Percy, I- I don't think I can be with you anymore. I'm really sorry." She looked down at the sand.

As soon as she said that, my whole world starting to crack. She didn't want to be with me anymore? What did I do? I'm gonna find out.

"What? Why? Is it my fault? Tell me if I can fix it! Please!" There was a pleading in my voice. I felt tears forming I my eyes. It took all my will power to stop them from falling.

"Percy it's not your fault. It's just that while you were gone, I was heart broken. I thought you had just left. I was alone again. I was constantly crying and in pain. Until he came to comfort me." She said. "Tyler was there for me while you were gone. He helped me through the pain. When you came back, I was so happy that you were still alive and I never wanted to be away from you. When we defeated Gaea and came back to camp and we were happy. But then when I saw Tyler again I longed to be with him again. I realized that he was a person I could always love. Someone I could settle down with. You could never be able to that. You're to hyperactive to settle down. I'm sorry Percy. It has to end. I can't keep being with someone who won't ever stop fighting."

I was in shock. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She wanted to be with Tyler, that son of Hermes that showed up while I was gone. I looked down at the sand, and I felt the first tear fall. Soon I couldn't control it and a constant stream of tears fell. The girl I loved was telling me she couldn't be with me. I felt like I was going to die.

"Please Annabeth, don't leave me. I love you. I would do anything for you. I protected you in that- that pit! Please don't go!" I begged her. She looked at me and shook her head.

"I'm sorry Percy. I can't. You'll always be my best friend though." She started walking away. I fell to my knees and buried my face in my hands. And I cried. I cried for hours. When I finally stopped crying, I went to my cabin. That night, I dreamlessly slept. When I awoke, I went to the pavilion for breakfast. When it was time to burn part of our meal I said a silent prayer. Please don't let me feel like this again. I wasn't praying to anyone in particular, just someone who could help me get through this. I went back to my cabin to get ready for the days activities. Luckily, I don't have any lessons with the Athena cabin today. I was about to leave when there was a bright gold flash in my room suddenly. I had been looking towards the door and when I turned around, my face paled. It was the mother of the girl who had broken my heart. It was the Goddess of Wisdom and Strategy. It was Athena. And she didn't look happy.
