Baby Seven

chapter 22

AN- this is an emotional chapter, for me anyways. It has a bunch of dialogue, but it needed to be done.

AN-AN?- sorry guys. I updated it on saturday. Then I get on here to do a quick check and start working on my next update when I realized that this didn't publish. My signal was really bad this weekend, so my apologies for that. Sorry that it isn't to long. Enjoy!

Percy's Pov

We finally landed in Paris. We were going to start looking here. It was a place that seemed beautiful. Plus they had a bunch of good looking food. But the real question is where would a goddess of youth be hiding.

"Hey Annabeth, doesn't it feel like we may be missing something. I feel like we aren't understanding this prophecy right. Like maybe it could be more simple than it seems?" I asked.

"Percy, when has anything ever been simple? We are stuck as toddlers. We fought in two freaking wars! We've seen people we care about die! We went to a place that I would never want to put anyone through! Our childhood was ruined and is continuing to be distroyed. The fates have tried and tried to ruin our lives. I wonder how much longer they are planning to give us. I wake up every morning wondering if it will be my last. I go to bed thanking the fates that I lived another day. I don't know how much more I can handle!" Annabeth yelled, her voice quivering the whole time. Tears started pouring out of her eyes. Annabeth was broken, and the more I thought about it, I was broken.

"Don't you think that I know what we have been through! Being us wasn't easy. I never expected it to be easy. I still hoped the fates would let us go though! I'm trying to not give up yet! I'm trying. It hurts to think about the past and what has happened. It kills me knowing that maybe, just maybe, I could have prevented all of our friends from dying. From you having to go through the unspeakable. But I love you Annabeth! And gosh dang it why can't you see that it is okay to be hurting?! I want to help you! I want you to stop hurting!" I screamed at her, now also crying. All the others walked away when they saw us starting to argue. They gave us some space.

Annabeth looked at me, both of us still crying. Her eyes were red and puffy. She ran up to me arms ready to hug me, "Why Percy. Why does this always happen? Why can't we have our happy ending? Is it to much to ask for after everything we have been through?"

I continued to hug Annabeth as we both continued to cry. We were both broken and we weren't even sure if we could sweep up enough pieces of ourselves to even stand. I wish I could give Annabeth the happiness she deserves, but it is out of my power on some ends.

Annabeth's Pov

I knew that Perxy and I were broken. But I didn't realize how broken we are until now. We still cry ourselves to sleep. Our eyes don't shine and sparkle like they used to. When we are around others we put on this mask that hides our true feelings. We aren't as happy as we used to be. It hurts knowing that Percy isn't happy. I know both of us didn't have the best childhood, but it didn't take it's toll on us until recently.

"So we are just going to leave them there? Fighting?" Tony asked the others.

"Trust me, leave them be. They're fighting isn't the same. They may fight but they love each other to much and know each other so well that their fights only last at most an hour," Hazel unformed us all.

After around 30 minutes past, Annabeth and Percy walked off the plan hand in hand with I puffy eyes. No one said anything about it so we continued on with our mission.

AN-
I know this isn't super long but I wanted to give you guys something soon. So here this is. I should update the next chapter in the next week or two.
