My Bestfriend's Brother (A Percy Jackson Fanfic)

Underwater kiss

Annabeth

He suddenly jerked away,then looked up. He noticed me. His eyes went wide and he took a step away from Rachel,caught red handed. Anger bubbled in my throat. My eyes started burning. I felt Luke touch my wrist. "Annabeth-" he started,but I pulled away,marching to the door and pushing it open,trying not to look at him.

"Annabeth-" he started,reaching forward but I stepped back.

"NO!" I yelled at him,glaring at him. All for nothing. It was all for nothing. Eveything he had done for me was just an act.

"Annabeth,this is all a misunderstanding-"

"Save it Jackson. Forget it." I snapped,turning on my hells and running away. I heard he shout after me but I raced away,my heart pounding. I ran into the building,up the stairs and pushed the door open. Piper was sitting on the couch using her phone. She looked up.

"Oh hey Anna-Annabeth? What's-what's wrong?" She frowned,standing up. I couldn't hide it anymore. But I didn't want to say it out loud. I had made a blunder,but I didn't want to accept that. I didn't like accepting my mistakes. I always tried my best and did the right things with a strategy and a plan. But not this time. When I didn't say anything,she simply hugged me. I held on to her,just staying silent for some time.

"What happened?" She asked me softly. I dried the last of my tears.

"Where's Penny?"

"Out. But what happened? You look pretty shaken up."

I ended up spilling everything out. The night me and Percy kissed. The fact that he had told me about his association with the gang way before anyone found out. Our secret meets in the kitchen. Piper did look surprised,but she didn't yell at me or tell me that I was crazy. When I had reached the part of him kissing Rachel, she looked shocked.

"What? No,that can't be. I've seen the look on his face when he sees you. He's clearly into you."

"Wh-What?"

She smiled faintly "Chase,I've seen the number of girls he's been through. But ever since you came,he hasn't been seeing any other girl! Haven't you ever thought about that?"

Now that I think about it,she's right. He hasn't hooked up with any other chick. I remember when I first moved in. He made infinite sex jokes and flirted with every single girl. But then after me...wow i overreacted a lot. I suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed. What was wrong with me? I facepalmed.

"Well,I'm an idiot."

"Wow,I never thought that I'd be hearing that from you."

"Shut up mcLean."

She laughed "Just give him a chance to talk. Maybe it really was a misunderstanding. If it wasn't, Penny will kick his ass for you. Oh wait,what am I saying? You could pretty much do that yourself."

It was my turn to laugh "True but..." my smile faded "If Penny finds out-"

"Annabeth,Penny hasn't given a shit about Percy's love life," Piper exclaimed "but she might give a shit about this one,since it's the one relationship Percy might take seriously. She might get pissed,but she loves you. She can't stay mad forever."

"Yes she can."

"Okay,you're right she can. Look,just...don't let her find out right now,okay? Not in this state. She's recovering. Like after you left,Leo accidently switched off the lights while Penny was in the bathroom. She wouldn't stop screamed until Apollo told her that she was safe.

"Oh." I blinked "well,-"

The door crashed open,making us jump. Percy ran in,looking scandalised. When he saw me,he stopped. Piper patted my shoulder and without another word,left. I crossed my arms,looking away. He walked towards me,until his body was only inches away from mine. He took my hands slowly. To my own surprise,I didn't push away.
