Annabeth POV

What did I do? I kissed my ex boyfriend. He wrote an entire play about us though, and changed our ending. So here I am. At the after party/backstage whatever it is, with my fiancé who I think I love very much. Don't say he looks like a certain Seaweed Brain please, I've dealt with that enough internally, and just decided I have a type. Thats what I'm going with.

"Babe, come I'll buy you a drink. Also," He smiled and pulled me off to the side. He then cupped my cheek and kissed me. " Happy anniversary, I love you."

"Love you too."

No I don't know what I'm doing, or how I'm engaged in college or— you get the point. I have no clue how it all went so wrong and derailed. I make plans and I follow those plans. No, James was not part of that plan and neither was Rachel and yet again, here we are. I also feel kind of used by Percy, like he's profiting off of our relationship and I have to literally sit and watch it happen. If it weren't my sweet asshole of a fiancé, I could of gone my whole life without seeing Percy again, or thinking about how I hurt my best friend or that I could be happy, happy with Percy.

"Oh hey guys, cool to see you guys bought backstage passes, and between you and me, we're headed to west thirty fourth and eighth. Tick Tock diner." He winked, and it pissed me off that the butterflies in my stomach went crazy.

"Thats so cool! We'll live the high life! Do you think somebody told him that its our anniversary?"

"I don't know, why?"

"Well why else would he be giving us all this stuff for free?"

"He's actually..." Do I tell him? I should be honest right? "He's my ex..." I didn't dare look into his mossy blue eyes.

"Y—You dated the Percy Jackson?"

"Uhm a little bit yeah."

"Annabeth! That is so cool! Its like I'm engaged to a celebrity!"

"It was back in high school, he probably doesn't even remember."

"Wait. Is this play about you? The description said it was a true story, and that the director lived it when he was in high school... and—"

"Okay! I get it James. We should go." I took his hand but he stopped me. "What?"

"I wanna get a better look at this guy." I huffed as he pulled me towards Percy.

"Hey guys what can I do for you." James went to punch Percy, but you know Percy, he caught it. "Whoa, whats up dude?"

"You dated my fiancé!"

"That was forever ago. She's over me. No big deal." He struggled, fighting James fist but eventually James gave in.

"Sorry, I don't know what came over me."

"No biggie." Percy put his hand out for James to shake. "Just enjoy yourself tonight, alright? Come on Rach."

"That guy... is so cool!"

"What?"

"Did you see how he deflected my punch? That was so cool!"

"I definitely saw what just happened, and I don't like it. Why would you do that!?"

"He broke your heart and lied about it! He wrote a whole play about how he betrayed you, and then he wrote it like you took him back. Nobody—"

"James I don't think I like this side of you."

"Lets just enjoy ourselves yeah?" I nodded and mingled.

"Everybody! I'm Rachel,"

"My lovely girlfriend!" Percy cut in.

"Oh shush. Anyways. I just wanted to thank you all for coming and let you know that Percy will be signing your playbills as you exit. So please let us know before you leave!" There was applause and Percy seemed like he hadn't agreed to do all that signing. I watched as he complained.

"Whhhhyyyyy? My hand hurts thinking about that Rache!"

"These people paid to meet you, they cant go home with nothing to separate them from the others who didn't
come backstage." He nodded and kissed her. He kissed her the way he used to kiss me. I miss the salty taste of his lips, and his ocean scent and his— oh shit. I still love Percy.
