The Space Between Us (Percabeth AU)

How would Annabeth react if Percy were to marry Rachel instead of her?

Annabeth Chase has always been good at timing.

She knows when to speak.
When to stay silent.
When to build.
When to walk away.

Except when it came to Percy Jackson.

Years ago, he stood in front of her with shaking hands and a confession written on paper. She told him no.

She told him she didn't feel the same way.

She was wrong.

Now, standing in his college dorm room, ready to finally admit the truth, Annabeth thinks she still has time.

Until Percy pulls a black box from under his pillow.

And tells her he's going to ask someone else to marry him.

This is a story about missed chances, almost-love, and what happens when you realize your heart too late.
