Percy POV

I sat alone on the beach; I was also missing dinner. I wasn't really hungry, and I also didn't want to watch Annabeth and Luke make eyes at each other. Everyone was shocked when I showed up for breakfast this morning, and again when I actually went and did my daily activities. It's a miracle that Chiron let me skip them for so long.

I watched the sunset, and I ached again for that night in the strawberry fields. I wish that I would've woken up before she could've talked to him. Maybe things wouldn't have changed, maybe we'd still be together. Maybe she'd be sitting next to me right now.

I heard movement behind me and I craned my neck to see behind me. I saw Grover coming towards me with a plate full of enchiladas and a tin can in between his teeth. He smiled at me around the metal and sat next to me. He set the plate in between us and munched on his can. "Want some?" he asked, tilting his head to indicate the enchiladas.

I shook my head and looked back out to the horizon. "No, I'm not hungry," I mumbled in response, and I heard Grover sigh beside me.

"You gotta stop tearing yourself up over this," he said, taking a bite of his enchilada.

"I can't. I'm still in shock about this whole situation. I-I don't know what went wrong," I said, putting my head in my hands.

He patted my back, "Hey, I get it. If this happened with me and Juniper, I'd be just like you. But, don't you think you could try to fix it?"

"How? She's in love with Luke, and I guess she always has been, so what can I do?" I asked miserably.

"Oh, shut up, Percy. Are you blind? Are you deaf? Do any of your senses work? She doesn't love him, I mean, maybe a little, but she loves you. She just made her choice in the heat of the moment. She was angry at you, and you were angry at her. I think she was just sick of you trying to put boundaries on her."

"Put boundaries on her?! I haven't done that!" I said, my voice raising.

"Dude, calm down. All I meant was that you wouldn't let her see him, and you know Annabeth. She doesn't like it when people challenge her independence. And she cares about Luke. But she cares about you more."

I thought about that for a minute. I guess he has a point. "I don't know, she can hold a grudge."

"Yeah, with some people. I've never seen her hold anything against you. Because she loves you, man. Can you not hear me?" he teased, shoving my shoulder.

I smiled, laughing a little. I haven't done that in a couple days, and it felt sort of nice. "Go talk to her, try to make things better. Neither of you can live without each other, you big baby."

"Oh shut up. I think... Yeah, okay. I'll go. Thanks, G-man," I said, and I hoisted myself up.

"No problem!" he called back, his mouth full of enchilada.

I walked around camp for a while, and I didn't see her anywhere. I decided to take a little break and take a walk in the woods. And I found myself taking the same path Annabeth and I always used to take when we would walk together here. My heart throbbed a little, but I put the thought aside.

I found the creek and started to follow it until I heard voices and laughter. I know that laugh. I smiled and kept walking until I spotted who I was looking for sitting on the rock we always used to go to together.

I was about to call out to her, but then I saw someone else on the rock when I shifted my angle. Luke. Then I also noticed that they were in a deep lip-lock, and staggered back a step. They seperated and Luke whispered, "I love you."

And Annabeth replied with, "I love you, too." My face contorted into something of anger and heart break, and I stepped back another step. I stepped on a twig and it snapped, and both their heads quickly looked towards where I was standing and Annabeth stood up with lightning fast reflexes.

But I was already gone. I started sprinting the moment I stepped on the twig. "Percy?" I heard faintly from behind me. She took him to our spot. Is she trying to replace me completely?

I ran to my cabin, and sat on my bed. I huffed in anger, and I tried to regain my breath. Then I leaned back against the wall and closed my eyes. She doesn't want me back. "I give up," I whispered to myself.
