I Knew You Were Trouble (Percabeth)

Chapter 3

BTW is that too much T Swift?

 Percy POV:

I was tired. It had been a long day working, technically I was the Summer Guest Experience Ambassador and if you think that's long well my full title is Guest Experience Teen Conservation Leader Summer Ambassador.

I lucked out with this job if I didn't get it me and mum would be out on the streets. I was hired quite young -18- and now I'm 19 with barely enough money to afford clothes. Go ahead feel sorry for me, won't do anything to help.

I was relaxing in the old arm chair in the team lounge- I swear this thing is a gift from God- when my cousin Thalia came running in panting and puffing for America. I quickly jumped up, what was so important?

"Thalia, take deep breaths and tell me what happened slowly."

"Girl... passed out... Will helping... my fault..."

" Thalia... Thalia what do you mean your fault? And a Will is helping a girl pass out?"

"NO" Thalia yelled regaining the power of speech " a girl passed out and Will is helping her regain conciousness! And he may be using your room..."

"What!" this was now a serious issue "MY room? Oh and the girl too"

"Well come on let's go!"

"To save my room!"

Thalia gave me a look that could wither a plant.

"And the girl" 

Annabeth POV:

"What are you doing here?" asked the familiar blonde boy.

"Because you love me" I replied.

" I don't love you, nobody does" Luke sneered and then chuckled and started evaporating.

" No Luke don't go please!" I sobbed a mess of tears.

But he was already gone.

I thought of my family those I thought that loved me but didn't. My mum. My brothers. Dad.

I thought about the words my dad said to me after my first all night out with Luke before he ignored me for the rest of my life. "Young love hurts... more than anything just don't let yourself get sucked in, in love you see a compilation of beautiful colors but then they get snuffed out one bye one... don't get snuffed out as well."

In front of me I saw the colours: cobalt blue, regal gold, silver, orange, greens, pinks, a magnificent vibrant purple. And I watched as they dimmed one by one until they all faded to a dark colourless grey... except the red. The vermilion red turning into a crimson red and then realizing that crimson was also flowing out of MY eyes and hands in rivulets. Then the red gained a purpose it gathered to form a person... me. And now I watched with haunted eyes as the me in red was drained from colour, turned gray, transparent and eventually... gone.

And then I woke up.
