A Distant Love {Sequel to My One&Only} Percabeth AU

{20}- Triple It

Third Person

Isn't it funny how life can move so quickly?

I mean one day you are completely fine and the next you are falling for someone madly.
How does that happen? Do the fates above predict our lives so we live under their control?

Maybe they do. And I know you the reader are wondering about Percy and Annabeth.
Yes, they are broken and their hearts lay scattered in smashed bits. But each day they fight to piece them back together.

Annabeth is tired of having to hide her feelings, tired of all the pent up anger she holds. She wants someone she can cling onto and never let go.

Percy wants love. It's been clear from the start. He wants to cherish someone's heart and grow a family. He knows he is still looking but deep down he already knows who he loves the most.

Piper McLean is done. This life has been nothing but hateful towards her. Breaking up with Jason was the hardest choice in her life. She doesn't know what to do anymore. Now take another step into another horrifying phase of life is nothing but frightening.

Jason is confused. He knows Piper loves him and still does. So why did she break it off? Is there another guy? All Jason needs now is for his sister to wake from her coma. He wants his only bit of family to be alive.

Leo is heartsick. The big heart he has is threatening to stop. He still loves Calypso and even after she had broken it off with her ex and Leo, he still craves her heart. Just as much as she does.

Frank is content. He is engaged to a beautiful woman and is excited to start his life with her.

Hazel wasn't surprised when Frank proposed. She had a gut feeling he was the one her destiny told her to be with.

Life is an amazing thing. We build them like sandcastles, afraid for them to fall apart but daring enough to put the feather on the top tower. But sometimes the wave washes in and wrecks the castle.

Some choose to give up and leave. Others chose to rebuild from the start.

It's up to you to choose.

Ha, you thought it was over...not even 500 words! Are you crazy?

Percy POV

"Damn it." Jason cursed as he kicked the wall. My best friend was heartsick.

Piper had broken up with him last night.

And no she didn't tell him about her lung cancer. It seemed a little much to tell her love of her life she was diagnosed with a special kind of ling cancer. Only 1 in 100000 patients and victims had.

So far the cure was rare and only worked sometimes.

I was the only one who knew.

"Jase, its gonna be okay," Frank promised his best friend and patted his back sympathetically.

"Easy for you to say, you gonna spend the rest of your life with Haze and now...I'm back at square one," Jason muttered as he kicked at the wall again. I winced in pain as he kept kicking the wall.

I've felt that way before.

And now I see what I looked like. Heartbroken and sick. A sickness no doctor could prescribe medication for. Leo who is never this quiet looks pale and drowsy.

It takes me a moment to realize that he's drunk.

I make my way slowly over to him. Beer is right on the table and his eyes are glazed over.

With a guilty pang, I realize also he's heartsick. The way he stares out the window and fingers aimlessly with his hands.

This is the worst spring break trip of the century.

"Leo." My voice is gentle and kind. Unlike I would be normally I decide to treat Valdez with caution.

He doesn't snap his head and looks at me. He stays rooted at his spot looking out the window.

Something is off, wrong and definitely not right one bit.

"Valdez?" I shake his arm lightly. He doesn't move. Worry creeps up the ridge of my spine. Leo is never like this.

Ever.

After another minute of trying to look at me, I get up to leave. I can't be here. Not now. I need to leave.

Clear my head.

I find myself at the edge of the ocean. My feet are brushing the cool salty water. Each wave soaks my toes and the hot spring sun drys them before the next wave reaches the land.

Thoughts wir through my brain fast and quick. I'm so sick and tired of being who I am. I've had good times. I enjoyed being a singer. People love my music and my voice.

But I feel used. Most relationships have fallen out because of this very factor.

Me.

Hopefully I can find my one & only someday.
