Percabeth One Shots

She's Gone

The grass had only started growing back. The tracks of dead vegetation had began to blossom with new grass and weeds, a sign of it moving on. If only it were that easy. The day she left, that was the day everything fell apart. I can not even remember what the cause of our fight was.  

Today will be a new day. 

I keep telling myself that. But without her, everyday is the same. I wake up, shower, eat, work, eat, sleep, repeat. Now that she is gone, I realize how much she impacted my life. She was the spark which lit me up, like gasoline. But... she's gone. Now, I am nothing. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Your total will be 22.79" I hand the cashier a twenty and a five. 

"Keep the change." I say as I grab my groceries and walk away. Then I see it. A silver jeep with navy trim. Her car. But in her car, I see a young man, maybe 20, in the car. But thats not what I care about. What I care about is that his lips are touching hers. I let out a gasp and storm away to my blue Honda civic. 

As I drive along the bumpy, worn roads, back to my house I keep seeing that guy. Luke. I remember him now. A- She used to have a crush of him back when we were twelve. But then he moved away. He is only three years older, but she is a minor! We are seventeen for God's sake. I remember when we got together when I had just turned 16. That was the best day of my life. 

This is the worst. 

Once home, I walk inside my house to see Mom and Paul starting dinner. "Hey Mom. Hey Paul. I got the cokes and flour, just like you asked."

"Why thank you Percy. How much do I owe you." I shake my head and laugh.

"Mom! When are we going to get past this point. You have done so much for me, the least I can do is buy you groceries."

She smiles and tells me that dinner will be ready in an hour, so I go up to my room. There, I get on my phone and call Jason, Leo, and Frank while staking Luke on instagram. Turns out he has many tattoos and likes to wear golden contacts to convince people he is possessed. She deserves better. I am about to look him up online when Sally calls me to dinner. I say goodbye to my bros and head downstairs to eat freshly cooked bread and roast beef. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Jason and I hang out. We decide to go meet Leo and Frank at the park to play some football. On the way there, we pass a house with her jeep in the front yard. I see tire marks already forming in the lawn. I hear laughter coming from the backyard. I hear her  voice. Then I hear a scream. I know her well enough that this is a scream of terror.

"Stop the car!" I shout at Jason as I open the door and jump out. I run over to the back fence to see Luke, chasing her with a knife. She sees me and her eyes widen. 

"Percy! Help!" She screams. Then she trips over a tree root and Luke is about to stab her. Without thinking, I tackle him and feel a sharp pain in my abdomen. I ignore it and punch him until he goes unconscious. Then I feel my eyes gently shutting as I hear Annabeth shouting. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The light blinds me. I hear a soft beeping sound in the distance and I open my eyes even more. The first thing I see is a beautiful shade of grey. Her eyes. 

"Oh Percy!" she wails and she hugs me. I groan from the pain but hug her back. When she pulls away, I see tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry." she whispers. 

"You dumped me, Annabeth." I say, anger seeping back inside me. 

"I had to or he would have killed you. I ended it because I love you that much."

"But I saw you in his car-"

"It was forced. He was a dirtbag and everything I did was to protect you."

"Why did he try to hurt you then." I say, stunned.

"Because I said no to him. He said a joke that was really funny to distract me. Then he pulled out a knife."

"And the rest is history." We both say at the same time. We crack up, her holding my hand.

"Annabeth? I really missed you." I say sadly, hoping she will want me back.

"I missed you too. Why would I do this if I didn't?" She says as she leans in and kisses me. When she pulls away, we both smile. Even though I am in the hospital, I wouldn't rather be anywhere else but her arms.
