I Love My Best Friend

What Can I Say?

Annabeth's POV
I stopped running. My feet lost their speed and relaxed, like a horse after a race.
"Percy, stop running. Luke is there." I said.

"So what, Annabeth?" Percy asked me.

"He'll see and get angry. Percy, is it worth his fury?" I hesitantly asked.

"Annie, you wanted to tell him about it anyway. He's your friend. I'm pretty sure he won't hurt you." Percy replied.
I smiled. Sometimes that Seaweed Brain knew just what to say to keep me from worrying.

"Thanks, Perce. And don't call me Annie." I replied smugly. He held his open hand out to me. I took it. We walked slowly, hand in hand. The image of my house slowly and slowly became more vivid, as did the dark ache in my stomach. Whenever my fear began engulfing me, I felt Percy's soft hand against mine. I would smile and forget about my worries. He would be there to protect me. My bodyguard. My hero. Luke's face was getting clearer every step we took. I hesitated in continuing to my house. What if he gets angry at me and never wants to speak to me again? Then, I'd look at Percy's face and remember his words. I would smile and continue my walk. Luke seemed to notice me and started walking toward me. Then, his speed increased as he realized that I was holding Percy's hand. I gulped. It's better to get it over with.

"Annabeth, what's going on? Why are you holding Percy's hand? To keep up with the image?" He quickly asked me.

"Umm Luke. I don't know how to tell you this." I replied.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Luke, you're one of my best friends, been for a long time. But, I can't be with you anymore after what I saw and what I realized. I love Percy. I hope we can still be friends." I quickly said. Luke's expression, however, made me realize his emotions.

Luke's POV

"I hope we can still be friends." Annabeth said. I stared and my mouth widened and formed an "O".

"But... Thalia isn't you. I. Don't. Love. Thalia. I. LOVE. YOU." I began yelling.

"Dude, relax. She still wants to be your friend. Just be a good guy in this." Percy said to me.

"A GOOD GUY! You, Percy Jackson, just stole the girl of my dreams, my soul mate and I need to act like the good guy? She was your friend, but that wasn't enough for you. You had to steal her from me!" I began to rage.

"First of all, you didn't own me so he couldn't steal me. Second of all, I wasn't happy with our relationship and I wanted to be happy. Can't you just respect that? Please, just be happy for me." Annabeth said to me. I look at her with a look of betrayal.

"Annabeth Chase, mark my words, you will leave Percy Jackson and come back to me. One way or another." I said and stormed off. Matt Sloan will definitely help me. I could cheat him out of a deal, yes. Maybe I could trick Alexis into helping as well... Oh yes, this was going to be good.

Author's Note:
Hey brahs! I've been saying that a lot... Well enough about me. How are you all? And I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry that I haven't updated. I have been going through a lot of drama and I've been kind of depressed. I feel fat and ugly and such. But I felt bad for leaving you guys for SOOOO long so I'm back. I'll try to be more active. I'm trying to lose a good 30 pounds and maybe start wearing makeup (according to some people I'm the person who looks great even without makeup). I want to be a better person, physically and morally (the way I act). So that means UPDATING more. I just need people to remind me because I have a lot going on. 😂😂😂 OH AND THANK YOU FOR THE AT LEAST 3,500 READS!!! ITS SUCH A MIRACLE AND IM SO BLESSED TO HAVE ALL OF YOU READING MY GARBAGE. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
