Fixing The Broken | Percabeth AU

Why does it matter that I kissed her?" He said angry, not sure whether he was furious with her or himself.
"Bec-" Her breathing hitched.
"Because I love you, you dolt!" She screamed, a tear rolling down her cheek. Her hand flew to her mouth.
"You...what?" He said, taken aback.
"Stop. Just stop. Everything that becomes important to me has always been taken away, and you are one of those. But this time...You walked away yourself." She shook her head and swept past him, speedwalking away. That was it. She was so done with men.
But the boy just stood there, realizing that he had just lost the most important thing in his life too.

The Gods.
Annabeth Chase lost hope in them years ago, when her mother got diagnosed with cancer. Nothing was ever handed to her on a platter let alone on a silver one.
Believe.
Who to believe in? Herself? That was all that she did. She didn't depend on others, all she needed was herself. But, why?

Percy Jackson went through hell and back to get where he is today, but the darkness and the memories still unsettlingly clung to him. But that darkness was not always from the past...
Forget.
How could he forget the past? It resided in his dreams and hid in his house. It peeked out of corners when he least expected it. Percy Jackson could not forget what had happened. It was tiresome.
Smile.
That was all he did. Smile. Like a piece of meat, dead on the inside. His mind was penetrated with a thousand things, none of them helping. It was agonizing.

This is an AU so there are no demigods or gods.

All characters belong to Rick Riordan.
