I heard a noise at my window. I roll out of my comfy bed and find my stupid boyfriend sitting on my fire escape.

"What are you doing?"

"I wanted to apologize."

"Its fine Percy, can I go back to bed now please?"

"Come with me?"

"Its three in the morning." He made his infamous seal eyes and pouty face. I groan. "No."

"Please at least let me in so we can talk about it?"

"If my dad finds out—"

"Then I'll gladly take the fall and die." I step back letting him tumble in. He stands up and goes to give me a hug but I'm still mad, I glare at him and back away. He takes my hand instead. "Listen, I— I'm really sorry."

"So you said." He smiled, and kissed my hand.

"I didn't think, and I honestly thought you would have had enough of me by now so thats why I agreed to go on the ski trip with those girls. I didn't expect anything to happen just... I don't know." He scratched the back of his neck.

"We're you planning on at least telling me? Or was your plan to just disappear and wait for me to figure out you were done with me?"

"Annabeth, I will never get over you. I felt you pulling away and assumed it was something I did."

"No offense Perce but not everything revolves around you."

"Just because you say no offense doesn't mean it doesn't hurt." He feigned hurt.

"Seriously Percy."

"What would you like me to do?"

"I want you to stay. Stay with me, and spend the break with me." I knew he couldn't. He can't, its a long shot.

"Wise Girl, you know I wish I could, but—"

"Jamie."

"Yeah... Jamie, she already thinks I'm going with her. She is my girlfriend and—"

"Why can't you just end it with her? Am I that embarrassing that you have to stay with her?"

"No! no no it has nothing to do with you, I just, you're- and I'm- and-"

"Would you just say whats on your mind. Stop playing me and just tell me what the deal is."

He sat down on my bed and put his face in his hands.

"I want to be with you, I really, really do, but Jamie, she- she's been in my life since I can remember. She's been my girlfriend since we were in middle school!"

"So just because I wasn't there when we were all kids I get put on the back burner?" He wrapped a finger around my belt loop and pulled me towards him.

"No, but I have a reputation, you know what my father is like." I put my hand on his chest and hang on to him with the other arm around his neck. He nuzzled my hair, and lightly kissed ny neck.

"I know but what if we just—"

"We just...?"

"Ran?"

"Ran? Ran where?"

"Anywhere! We could go anywhere, do anything! As long as we're together right?" He looked at me with these watery seal eyes. I kiss him. I'll never get sick of his salty taste or how he makes me feel special just by being near me, and looking at me.

"My dad would kill me."

"Not if he never catches us." His head down, he looks up at me with this troublemaker smirk. "What are you thinking?"
He stands up and holds my hip in his hand, and kisses me with such ferocity, nibbling my bottom lip, and kissing his
way to my sweet spot.

"I'll be back."

"Can I go back to sleep?"

"No you have to pack too."

"A-are we really doing this?"

"Do you want to do this or not? Because the more I question it, the more I'm not gonna want to do it." I pull him by his shirt to my lips and kiss him again, I don't ever want to stop doing that.

I pack all the stuff I think I'll need, a knife, matches, yarn on a weird instinct and bubble wrap. I don't have any good reason as to why I packed those items along with the essentials but I just had this weird suspicion...

Soon there was his knock at my window. I was excited, my life could finally begin, I'll get him all to myself. I'll get to be alone with him forever.

"Hey Seaweed Brain... Where's your stuff?"

"I... I can't do it."

"Oh. T-thats okay, I understand. I'll see you later?"

"Probably not. I have that trip with Jamie and the girls..."

"Right." I go to close the window when he stops me. "What."

"I think we shouldn't see each other anymore."

"Right." I slam the window shut. Thats it.

Everyone lets you down. Even your one escape is a failed road that if you follow it, will only lead to pain and despair.
