Chapter 4

Is It Okay If I Do This?

Annabeth's POV

I counted to ten to calm down my nerves as I knocked on the door about to break Percy's heart.

I hadn't seen Percy since we had kissed and nothing had happened after that. He had brought me home and went to his own place. And that was three days ago and since then I thought about it long and hard and we just can't be together.

Percy is my friend, even my best friend, and I don't want to ruin that. And that's only apart from the fact that he's famous, it would only make things extra difficult. Though the real reasons were that I was scared; scared that I would drag him down in a very dark place, I would absolutely destroy him and he's too nice for that. I was too scared that after a couple of weeks he would just grow tired of me and leave me.

So I had to do this and hope that he would forgive me. "Maybe he doesn't even feel the same way about me." I told myself, though I knew that was bullshit.

So I knocked and hoped that Percy would be home alone.

"Hey, Wise Girl!" Percy exclaimed as he opened the door, butterflies erupting in my stomach at the old childhood nickname we picked up on again.

"Hey, hope I don't come at a bad time?" I asked, biting my lip, a bad habit.

"No, I'm working home today. Working on the album, but I can use a break." He smiled at me and stepped aside so that I could come in.

"Here sit down." He signaled the couch and I sat down on it. "Do you want to drink anything?" He called from the kitchen.

"Tea please!" I shouted back as I looked around the living room, it was clean for once, probably Jason's work though not for the piano. It was scattered with papers and Percy's notebook with lyrics and melodies.

"Here you go." Percy sing-sang as he handed me my tea. "And sorry for the mess, I got a bit frustrated with some melodies." He gave me a sheepish smile.

"Oh, it's fine. It's your home after all right?" I replied, smiling as well. "So do you have something yet?"

"Yes, actually. Do you want to hear it?" He jumped up as I said yes, always happy to hear Percy sing and show me his music.

"Okay, so it's as good as done, I wrote it pretty quickly, but it's on the piano so sorry if that part doesn't really sound that good. Nico's much better at the piano."

"Oh, come on, you play the piano really well, better than I'm ever going to be." I assured him.

"I can teach you if you want." He immediately offered. "Though you can better have Nico as a teacher."

"Sure." I smiled widely at him, he looked too good just sitting there in some sweatpants and a T-Shirt behind the piano smiling at me.

"Okay, I'm going to start now." Percy breathed out softly and started the song looking down.

I've seen her face

I've heard her name

I've lost my place and she's to blame

and I can't stand it

when I'm staring in her eyes

and she's not looking back
