Second Choice

Percy Jackson has faced monsters, Titans, and gods.

But none of that prepared him for the quiet fear that lives in the back of his mind.

Because no matter how much Annabeth Chase loves him... Percy can't shake the feeling that he was never supposed to be the one she chose.

There was always someone else first.
Someone smarter. Someone stronger.
Someone she believed in long before Percy ever came along.

Luke Castellan.

And when you spend your whole life being compared to a ghost... it's hard to believe you'll ever measure up.

Now Annabeth has been invited to join a prestigious architecture program-an opportunity she's dreamed about for years. A future that's brilliant, demanding, and far bigger than anything Percy ever imagined for himself.

And Percy can't stop wondering if that future still has room for him.

Now he has to face a battle no sword can win-
the one inside his own head.

Because loving Annabeth might be the easiest thing in the world.

Believing he deserves her?

That's the real war.

Author's note: This is a story I've been writing and planning for a long time its the story that has the most of me in it, its the story I'm most proud of. There was a time where there was a a significant brake in which I didn't update a any of my other series and while part of that was because I was busy an other part was that I was writng this story and even when I went back to re update my other stories, I continued working on this story in the background wanting to finish all of it and put it out there without long breaks between chapters, because this story deserves more than that. I hope you enjoy.
