Percabeth After it All

Chapter 1

Annabeth's PoV

"I know, babe! But dad says I can't leave. Not yet." I tell Percy. Percy pouts.

"But Annaaaaaabeth! I neeeeeed you with meeeeeeee!" He says to me.

I hear dad calling for me. I groan and put my head in my hands. "I love you, I have to go."

"Bye! I love you, my Wise Girl." He says. I wave my hand through the iris message rainbow.

"Yes, dad?" I say.

"Come here, Annabeth." I hear him say, he was probably pokerfaced. I groaned and moved away from the sink.

I miss you, my Seaweed Brain. I think. "Coming." I say, and leave the bathroom.

"Annabeth, sit." Dad says, patting the chair in front of him. I sit.

"Annabeth, why haven't you been happy the last few days you have been here?" He asks me.

"Well, I'm not at the place I grew up at and I'm homesick. School has almost started in New York, you know." I sigh. "And I miss Percy and his family." I lay my chin in my palm. "Sally should be due with the baby any day now." I smile. "But I miss Percy the most."

"Annabeth, that's why I want to talk with you. Your stepmother and I think it is best to send you back to New York. Sally said she'd be happy to house and feed you, and I got you into an all girl school." He smiles. He has really just ignored me the whole time I've been here.

My eyes widen, and I hug my dad. "Dad, really? Oh, wow!! I get to see Percy!!" I pull away, and run up the stairs.

"You leave Friday!!" He yells up to me.

"'K!" I yell back, laughing and giggling.

I look at my room, the only difference than it has been is that there is no clothes in the closet or dresser, and of course, my weaponry, including my hat, and then, a little mirror my dad bought me for my 15th birthday. I also got all of the pictures I put up, including the one of Percy and I kissing, Percy's hand on the camera, trying to cover it, but only a few fingers are in the way. I was laughing against Percy, so his one hand at my waist couldn't hold me steady. I had a hand on his cheek, and the other hand on his chest. I remember it was on our 1 year anniversary. Friday he had said yesterday. Tomorrow.

"Annabeth?" Two voices say in union, with a knock on the door. I turn around and see Matthew and Bobby standing in the door frame.

"Hi, boys!" I say. They give me little grins.

"So, you're moving in with Percy?"

"Uh, yeah." I blush. They look at eachother and nod, like they were just having a discussion.

Bobby starts towards me. "Annabeth, our birthday is in a month, and we wanted to know if-"

"You guys think I would miss you turning thirteen?" I shake my head. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Their eyes light up. Matthew is smiling widely as Bobby goes on, "And Percy can come, too, right?"

"I'm sure he can." I smile. They smile back, and for a moment I feel like the big sister I always wanted to be to them. "Come here, boys."

I lean down and open my arms. Matthew practically runs to hug me, Bobby trailing behind.

"Annabeth we are going to miss you!" Bobby says. I smile and rub his back with one hand, Matthew's back with the other.

"I'm going to miss you too. Don't you worry, I am coming to visit on holidays, and maybe the weekends sometimes. Percy would love the pool... if dad would let him come." I look Bobby in the eyes, still holding Matthew.

"We will make him." Matthew says, and Bobby nods at me.

I love you guys even if I'm not right beside you. I mouth to Bobby. Bobby nods. I smile. Matthew pulls away.

"Here," I scribble my number on a note for the boys, "any bullies or anything like that and I'll come to beat them up. Hey, I might even bring Percy!" I giggle. "Or if one of you gets a girlfriend." I give a little grin. "Don't call unless it's serious though, I don't want monsters to come and eat Sally."

"Is that Percy's little sister?"

"Yeah. I have you guys, and he has Tyson and his family."

"Are you his family?"

"Well, not exactly."

"But... you still miss him a lot?"

"Yeah you don't have to be related to be in love," I say, and I blush. I love Percy, but the boys were giving me the face they give my step mom and dad when they kiss.

"Do you kiss him? Like, in public?"

"Do I have to answer?"

"You do!!" Bobby says, and Matthew pretends to vomit.

"Shut up!" I laugh, and shove Bobby's shoulder. "You'll understand when you go through what we have." Then I shudder. "Actually, I don't want you to go through that."

"Yeah, but you kiss!"

"You guys are twelve! You should be hoping to kiss girls right about now... Oh, Bobby what about that Jenny girl? Matthew that Yonda kid looks to be into you!" I smile at them. They both blush. I found their weakness.

"Who?" They say on union. "We haven't heard of those girls..."

I laugh, and they join in, blushing. 

"I love you, boys!" I smile, and continue laughing.
