Annabeth’s PoV:

Ok, right now, I probably sound like Hazel Grace Lancaster. But I seriously don’t care. Anyone who hasn’t read The Fault In Our Stars, read it, and then ask me who Hazel Grace Lancaster is. 1: It’s the best book in the universe (A/N: Totally true) and 2: I’m just too bored to explain. Oh, and I’m probably considering the hardest question of my life. I sighed, and kept staring at the ceiling of the Athena cabin. The same question that had been haunting me for so many hours. If I could only know what to do! I obviously can’t ask mom, and when I tried with Aphrodite, she just said, ‘Follow your heart.’ Why am I asking for advice? Because I don’t know what to do. ‘Follow your heart,’ has messed me up even more. Ugh, love lifes. And, no, I’m not in some dramatic situation where Percy cheated on me or where we’re on a bumpy patch in our relationship. So to all fangirls: hold your horses, don’t smash Percy or tell us to just kiss already, because that’s not going to work. What question? Well, if you promise not to kill me… I’m considering breaking up with Percy. No, it’s not one of those stories where I’m not good enough for him or something…even though that’s true… but it’s something way, way, way different. I just want to cause less pain. I’m not exactly a grenade, but I know I’m going to be. Like, Percy is the best swordsman I’ve ever known, he can control water, create hurricanes, and so many other cool things. Jason and Thalia? They can just zap whomever they like! Aphrodite cabin can charm-speak anyone. Hermes cabin has exceptional speed. Nico and Hazel can just make some dead pop up, or use a cursed diamond or something. Ares cabin has exceptional fighting skills. And so on… with all the other cabins. All except Athena. I don’t want to say anything against my mom, she’s awesome! But… we don’t have any special powers or something. We can’t just, build some amazing invention to save our lives! We can’t shoot perfect bulls eyes all the time! We can’t make some crazy plant pop up at any time so that we’ll live through the war! We’re all probably going to die. So, you see were I’m coming at. I’m going to die. Sure, I’ve had luck before, and I’ve been in two wars already, but I know, I just know, that I’m not going to hold out this war. I’m going to get impaled by Dr. Thorn, or turned to stone by Medusa, or ripped alive by a fury or… you get it. So, by breaking up with Percy it’ll be easier for him. He’ll forget about me. Find some nice girl (that will survive the war). And won’t really be affected if, no, when I die. It’ll just be easier on him. But then there’s another thing to take into consideration. Me. Percy’s been my best friend since I was 12! He’s been by my side all this time, he’s loved me all this time. And I can’t just break it off with him, because I’m afraid I’ll die. Because if I do break up with him, my heart will just… break. It’ll simply break in half as I see him arm-in-arm with some other girl. It’ll break as I see him laughing and kissing her, like we used too. So I’m a coward. Instead of letting my heart break, I’ll break his by letting him watch me die. No, I can’t do that. Sometimes if you love something, you need to set it free. And, that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll set Percy free. I heard the conch horn sound. I didn’t really care, I wasn’t hungry. Not when I’m about to get my heart broken. I took a deep breath and forced myself to think about math equations. I forced myself to solve the square root 531,441 (The answer is 9 to the third power, if you wanted to know.) I thought about anything that would make me not think about Percy. Was that sentence confusing? Hmmmm… Then, suddenly the door flew open, and a very worried-looking Percy ran in. When he saw me on my bed, he sighed in relief.

“Annabeth, what’s wrong?” he asked. I shook my head. He kneeled by my bedside, and ran his fingers through my hair.

“Annabeth, are you sure you’re ok?” he looked my straight in the eye. I sighed. I had to do it now, when no one else was around. I sat up on my bed, crossing my legs Indian-style. He was still kneeling in front of me. He motioned for me to talk.

“Look Percy, I really, really, really love you, but we both know about the war, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to affect us, well, me more like, and I really wanted to say sorry, and-”

I was talking quickly, trying to get it all out, not looking him in the eye, so that he couldn’t see my unshed tears.

“Annabeth is this going where I think it’s going?” he interrupted me. I went on talking and talking about how much I loved him, and how much I didn’t want to do this, and how much I was killing myself about this.

“Annabeth don’t you dare say-” This time it was me who cut him off.

“Percy, I’m breaking up with you.”
