Takes place when Percy be missing doe. :( Annabeth=sad — Short one tho

Everyday Annabeth would begrudgingly wake up. She hated waking up and knowing Percy was somewhere. Nobody had any idea where this Roman camp was. Except Jason, but even he didn't explain it well enough for anyone to have a good sense of where it is, let alone where Percy is.

When Annabeth would feel especially lonely and miss him, she'd sneak into the Poseidon cabin, and look at the photos he kept of them together. From their quests, to their dates, to when they would hang out as friends, she would look at them, and she could almost imagine Percy sitting next to her as she shared the memories with him.

She like to leave the pictures in his cabin because whenever she went in, the cabin always smelled like the sea, like Percy.

One particular day she was dragged out of her bed by Piper who tried to get Annabeth to talk about Percy, maybe it would help her, but it only reminded her that even if they do get to him, he might not even know who she is. She felt tears threatening to fall so instead of hiding in her bed, she stood up, and walked across to Percy's cabin.

"Annabeth! Annabeth where are you going?" She ignored Piper's calls and closed the door immediately the smell of salt, the sea, Percy, encompassed her, pushing the tears over the edge. She sat in his unmade bed. She wouldn't dare make it out of fear of admitting he was gone, maybe for good. She opened his trunk, and saw the pictures. She picked up the one from their underwater kiss— courtesy of the Stoll brothers.

She laughed remembering when Percy brought up the fact that their last name is Stoll and they're children of Hermes, but they just stared at him blankly not getting why that would be funny. She remembered when he told her, how sad he looked that they didn't get it. She remembered his sea green eyes and how they brightened when he looked at her. She remembered the stupid jokes he would whisper in her ear whenever someone annoyed her or made her upset. She remembered the feeling of his strong arms wrapped around her waist, and the feeling of her back against his chest. She remembered the nights she would sneak into his cabin so they could have a date night. She remembered his obsession with the movie Finding Nemo. She remembered how even though he's considered to be the best swordsman in over a century, she could distract him and pin him down. She would kiss him and he would flip them effectively holding riptide to her throat, and win— only sometimes would that trick work. She remembered whenever she wasn't feeling well, he would take the day off and stay with her. The best was when she had her period, he would carry her to his cabin and give her his blue candy. She loves that he still eats blue food even though Gabe is long gone. She loves seeing Sally, and being able to reminisce about Percy. They know he's not dead but it makes the both of them feel better that they're not alone in missing their sea green eyed boy.

Before she realized what she was doing, her body wracked with heart wrenching sobs. The whole camp heard her. She didn't care, she just wanted her Seaweed Brain back. She just wanted to kiss him, have him wrap his arms around her, and just hold her close.

"Just come back."

"Keep me in your pocket, and I'll always be there, in your pocket. And by your heart. Hades put me in a locket that way ill be both by your heart and in your heart Wise Girl." She could picture him standing by the door smiling down at her, waiting for her to realize he was there. She would run up and kiss him. Make sure he knows she loves him. He would make sure she knew he loves her too.
