I'll Miss You

X

Annabeth POV

Then what he did next surprised me.

He kissed me.

************************************

Percy POV

I kissed her.

I kissed Annabeth Chase.

But then I panicked.

I jumped up, and ran away. I ran out of the school. I ran all the way to my house. Then I collapsed on the porch, and cried.

I cried and cried. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. I cried until my mom got home from work, and she found me on the porch at 8:30 at night.

The whole time I cried, I thought about Annabeth.

She's going to hate me now.

I can't ever talk to her again.

Everyone at school is going to bully me now. And call me a freak.

My friends probably think I'm weird now.

I'm pathetic. I'm a nervous wreck.

I should die.

If I was dead, people would be happy.

If I was dead, people wouldn't have to deal with me anymore.

If I was dead, I would never see anyone ever again.

I want to die.

Sally POV (haha! You didn't expect that did you?)

I get off of work, and head home. I see a lump on the front porch. I pull in, and park the car. I hesitantly approach the lump.

I gasp as I realize it's Percy. He's curled up in a ball,  crying. I run  forward, and hug him.

"Percy. Oh honey. What's wrong?"

He continues to sob.

"Hey. Shh. It's okay. Come on. Let's go inside. I'll make you blue cookies?"
I say trying to convince him to come inside. It works.

He continues to sob, but with my help, he gets up, and we go inside.

I get him sat at the table, and get started on making the batter for the cookies that I promised.

He finally stops sobbing.

"So Percy... You wanna tell me what's wrong?" I ask

"It's a long story." He says.

"We got time."

"Well... You know how Thalia moved here, and brought someone with her?"

"Yeah. I remember."

"Well it was Annabeth. Annabeth has moved here."

I gasp.

"But honey. That's great isn't it? I mean she's your best friend."

He shakes his head.
"Not anymore. At least... Probably not."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well today, we have Greek together, and that's when I found her. I told her about the school and everything. It  was just like old times. But then at lunch, for some reason, she sat alone. But then Matt started messing with her, he took her book, and wouldn't give it back. She asked for it, and he still wouldn't give it back. He yelled 'NO' , and raised his hand to hit her. I grabbed his hand before he could hit her, and I pinned him to the table. But then after he gave her book back and I let him up, he swung on me and knocked me to the ground. He started to kick me and hit me, just like... him.  I started to have a panic attack. One of Matt's friends held Annabeth. Suddenly, she broke free of the guy holding her, and tackled Matt. Teachers took care of Matt, and Annabeth came to me. She hugged me and told me it was fine, and everything was going to be okay.
But then... I-I kissed her."
