When he walked into her classroom her heart stopped. Seamour Jackson. Seamour Jackson. Its not possible. It can't be. Seamour Jackson looks just like he did when they were twelve.

The first time she saw him was the first day of school. He walked into her class and sat down like his father isn't who she thinks he is.

Fifteen years ago...

"Percy no. There has to be another way."

"Annabeth, listen to me. I'm sorry, but I have to do this. I have to. I love you." With one last kiss he ran off to battle Gaea. Piper and Hazel held her back. She fought against their holds, Piper tried to calm her down, but she knew it was useless. This was Percy. Percy the love of her life. She had just gotten him back and he decides that he's the one that has to sacrifice himself. Piper thought to herself thank the gods its not Jason, but immediately felt guilty because she saw how Annabeth was without Percy. She was miserable, she moped around and didn't take care of herself. What's going to happen if he dies? She decided in that moment she would be there for Annabeth no matter what.

When they heard him bellow out in pain they knew it was over. Gaea was defeated but Percy was gone with her. Annabeth crumbled to the ground. She was broken. He was gone and she was left a hollow shell of the person she once was. Piper stepped up, and took care of Annabeth.

As camp was rebuilt Annabeth refused to leave the Poseidon cabin. She was torturing herself. She would lay in his bed, wear his sweatshirts, and cry while looking at the pictures he kept of her and him together. Her heart felt broken. This was worse than if he had broken up with her. They were still in love. They had a future planned.

Nico even stopped by a couple times to comfort her. Nico could tell that something was bizarre about his death. Just like he could with Leo. He didn't want to give her false hope. He loved Annabeth too much to do that. In a sisterly way of course. The only other people that knew about the outlandish death was Will and Hazel. Hazel could feel it too, and Will decided it would be best not to give Annabeth the false hope because if they were wrong or he didn't reach out to her they would make matters worse.

Still every time Nico would see Annabeth all he wanted to do was make her feel better by telling her the news but he had to keep in mind what Will was saying. So they didn't tell Annabeth.

Now Seamour is in her class. Could he be the Percy Jackson's son? How does Percy have a son? Would he really move on from Annabeth?

Annabeth went home to the apartment that she shares with Piper, even though Piper lives with Jason she still pays for half of Annabeth's apartment. Just things you can do when your father is Tristan McLean I guess. Piper even bought Annabeth a cat. Annabeth is not a cat person but he keeps her company when Piper isn't hanging out with her. She's at that point when her best friend is her cat. She tells him everything. He doesn't have much to say but he meowed really loudly when she brought up Seamour, I don't know, maybe thats something...

When Seamour's late she doesn't mind, she can't help but remember all the times Percy was late to breakfast, scaring the crap out of her, and maybe she favors him just a little, at least more than she should. He's dyslexic and has a really bad case of ADHD, Annabeth doesn't mind, she used to work with Percy and he had(s?) the worst case of ADHD she ever saw.

When parent teacher conferences came around, she nearly died. He walked into her classroom and she fell over. Her eyes had to be lying to her.

"Percy?"

"Mrs. Chase?"

"Percy!"

"Yes?"

"I-It's me!"

"Yeah, hey Mrs. Chase, are you okay?"

"D-Do you not recognize me?"

"I-I don't I'm sorry." She stood up and hugged him. "You know me?"

"Yes Seaweed Brain!"

"What the hell kind of name?" Her eyes stung. Does he really not remember her? What happened to him?

"I-Its me Seaweed Brain. Annabeth." Her voice was hollow.

"My name is Percy. Percy Jackson, hero of Olympus that is." He flashed her his award winning smile and flexed his muscles.

"I know! Do you really not remember me?"

"You sound familiar... I think I knew an Annabeth when I was younger... but she hated me." Annabeth didn't know what to do. She just wanted to kiss him. Screw it. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. He hesitated at first but eventually their lips were moving in sync. She was breathless. He kissed her back.

"Wise Girl. You didn't forget me?"

"You forgot me!"

"I- okay fair. But listen I'm here. Did I not promise to always come back to you?"

"You didn't come back for over a decade!" She grabbed his wrist and flipped him. "I told you never to leave me again." He again had audacity to laugh. "Would you stop laughing each time I do this?!?"

"Maybe if you weren't so cute when you did it." She stood up and he kissed her again. "I missed you too."

"So... Seamour?"
