This is an AU story.
ANNABETH'S POV
I have a problem. I need to get a roommate so that I could share the apartment expenses and I haven't found anyone yet. I decided to get out of my bed and get some coffee because, I mean, coffee. Case closed. I was deep in thought while making my coffee and when the phone rang, it scared me so badly I dropped my cup. Ugh, there goes a perfectly good cup. Oh well. I went and picked up the phone. A male answered. He said that we went to the same university and that he was looking for a roommate as well. He was the same age as me.
"Okay, well you can come tomorrow at around 3:00 to see the apartment. Oh and can I get your name?" I asked.
"Percy Jackson." He said.
"Alright, great, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
PERCY'S POV
I woke and opened my eyes to see the ceiling of my friend, Jason's, living room. I got my phone and looked at the time. I was supposed to meet Annabeth and see the apartment at 3:00. I would have preferred a boy but all the boys were mostly jerks or hot messes. I looked at the time and jumped off the couch. Crap, it was 2:48 P.M. I only had 12 minutes to get ready and drive there.
I quickly threw on some pants and didn't even bother with my hair. It was an untamable beast anyways. I ran to my car and drove.
I got there just in time. I knocked on the door and the door opened. A girl with blond curls and grey eyes opened the door. Her eyes looked like stars. "No. Do not think like this. Get yourself together." a voice in my head said. But another said "I wonder how smooth her skin is?".
ANNABETH'S POV
He was way handsomer than I thought he would be. Black hair and sea-green eyes. He had the kind of eyes that were meant to be stared into forever.
"Hey." his voice jumped me back into reality, though the thoughts still lingered.
"Hey."
I showed him around the apartment. We got to know each other after awhile. He studied marine biology and liked blue food? Weird, I know. He said that he really liked the place and said that he would love to move in. We agreed and he would move in around next week.
A MONTH LATER>>>
PERCY'S POV
I moved in and loved the place. It felt like home. A REAL home. Me and Annabeth became best friends. I still haven't told her how I felt. Imagine telling the person you love most in the world how much you love them and then if they say they don't feel the same way you still have to live with them. Yeah, I know. But I had to tell her soon. I had gotten a job offer almost 2,000 miles away. But it was a really good job offer and I had to take it. Ugh, why is life so confusing?
TWO WEEKS LATER>>>
Percy's POV
Tomorrow I'm supposed to be leaving. Annabeth knows that I'm leaving but not that I love her. I just don't want to ruin our friendship.
ANNABETH'S POV
Percy's leaving tomorrow and I still haven't told him about how I feel. "He doesn't love you back. Why would he love someone like you?" a voice in my head scolded. But if I don't tell him I may never see him again. I decided to watch a cliche romance movie to give my mind a break off of having to deal with my own "love story".
THE NEXT DAY>>>
ANNABETH'S POV>>>
I have to tell him. He was at the front door and about to leave.
"Percy, wait, I-I have to tell you something. I can't keep this in anymore. I-I love you. I have loved you. I love everything about you. I need you. I know you don't feel this way back but- if I didn't tell you it would haunt me forever. I'm sorry, you can go now." I said. But he didn't go. He looked me in the eyes and it scared me. You'll never understand how powerful a stare full of love is, unless you see it. Percy leaned in and kissed me and fireworks blasted into hearts. We stayed like that for almost 5 minutes, until the honking of Jason's car blasted, telling Percy to hurry up. We parted and he smiled.
"I love you." he said.
"I love you ,too."
