Music To My Ears

<14> Mission Impossible.

A few days later Annabeth had her stuff packed and she was ready to leave.

So she gave her Dad a hug and left with Percy for Camp-Half-Blood.

She was gonna miss her Dad.

They got in the taxi and Percy told the driver where to go before they sped off.

You have money? Annabeth wrote.

"Yeah." Percy whispered back to her smiling at her.

Annabeth smiled being in his presence before falling asleep for the long drive there.

* * *

It was a day after they got back and the plan had started.

And Annabeth was fine...

For now.

• • •

It had been a week and Annabeth was sitting in her cabin listening to the Mission Impossible theme to match her mode while rocking back and forth on her bed.

She seriously was breaking from this experience.

Percy was avoiding her like the plague and giving her dirty looks whenever they caught each others eye.

And every time he did it hurt her heart.

But she knew he was just acting. She shouldn't be offended.

He was just acting. She tried to convince herself.

But it hurt so bad, every time he ignored her and talked with Jason instead.

But it was all an act. She kept convincing herself.

She unlocked her phone and changed the song to a song called Life After You by Daughtry.

She loved this song so much.

Ten miles from town, and I just broke down.

Spittin' out smoke on the side of the road.

I'm out here alone, just tryin' to get home.

To tell you I was wrong but you already know...

Believe me I won't stop at nothin'...

To see you so I've started runnin'!

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughing with you.

I'm thinkin' that, all that till matters is love ever after...

After the life we've been through.

Cause I know there's no life after you

The last time we talked, the night that I walked.

Burns like an iron in the back of my mind

I must've been high, to say you and I.

Weren't meant to be and just waisting my time...

Oh, why did I ever doubt you?

You know I would die here without you!

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter.

As long as I'm laughing with you.

And I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after.

After the life we've been through.

Cause I know there's no life after you...

With that, Ananbeth fell asleep.

* * *

"Annabeth?" she heard a familiar voice.

Annabeth opened her eyes a bit and groaned seeing blurryness.

"Annabeth wake up." she was shaken a bit making her groan again and sit up rubbing her eyes her headphones falling out.

She looked and saw it was Malcolm and Elijah.

"Annabeth, we've been noticing you've been really sad lately." At Malcolm's words Annabeth remembered the deal she made with Percy to ignore one another for a while.

"Annabeth." Malcolm made her look him in the eyes.

"Are you ok?"

Annabeth's throat was dry and it hurt. Her body was telling her it was time to cry.

But she fought it. She couldn't tell them.

"Does-," Malcolm looked down "does it have something to do with Percy?"

As Malcolm looked down Annabeth looked back at Elijah who was looking at her with his dark brown eyes.

Malcolm lifted his head blocking their view looking Annabeth in the eyes again with his.

"Annabeth, I need to know."

Annabeth choking on a sob nodded a tear coming out of her eye and rolling down her cheek leaving a wet trail.

Malcolm sighed and embraced her in a hug as Elijah ran off to grab something under his bunk.

E came back with chocolate. And Annabeth'a favorite kind too.

He handed it to her and Annabeth cried more shaking from crying so violently.

Soon she calmed down though, and they all had a piece of chocolate. Annabeth had the most.

"I was saving those for you." Elijah said and Annabeth smiled before giving him a big hug and kissing him on the cheek making him blush and push her away.

"Eww, Annabeth cooties."

Annabeth laughed, and her siblings got Annabeth to go outside.

• • •

It had been 2 weeks since she had chocolate with her siblings.

So it had been 3 weeks Percy and her had been separated.

She was fighting a dummy slicing him and jabbing as she listened to music.

She was listening to Leave My Heart Out Of This By Fifth Harmony.

But she wasn't really focussing.

Not to the awesome music nor her awesome fighting skills.

But her mind was on Percy.

He had stopped all communication with her.

No, disgusting looks anymore, just the turn of the head and walking away.

Annabeth grit her teeth and sliced the dummies' neck.

He was supposed to tell her when he thought they should tell people at the campfire that they don't get married.

He told her he would on the drive back to camp.

But no, he had stopped all communication to her.

Annabeth finally ran out of energy and stopped fighting the dummy.

She panted and looked at the ground her sweat dripping from her forehead.

She looked at her clothing and saw she had soaked her Camp-Half-Blood t-shirt.

She let out a long breath and sheathed her dracon bone dagger before heading to her cabin to get a shower.

She jumped in and enjoyed the cool water running over her as she cleaned herself.

But all she could think about was Percy.

And that was the problem.
