The Violin That Started it Again

Part 4) Chapter Thirty-One

After this chapter, I have two more chapter left and the epilogue for you guys. (I'm also adding a little extra chapter after the epilogue explaining how Percy knew how to suddenly have sex with guys. I wanted to keep a secret, but it could be considered a plot hole for not answering it which bothers me.)

Anyway, sorry this book wasn't as great as the first (I truly hated this book and how it turned out), From now on, I am never writing two Percico Stories at the same time ever again...

Note: Happy new year! (Sorry, it's a few days late I know.)

Percy Jackson

Annabeth nodded slowly in acknowledgement. "I see. That's... interesting to say the least."

I sighed. "Yeah I know. It's just one confusing thing after another. I would ask him what he means by it, but I don't even know how to reach him."

"Maybe he meant for it to be that way," Annabeth remarked. "Maybe he wanted to keep it a secret forever. Hopefully, your mom will know what he means when you tell her his message."

"Yeah," I muttered. "Maybe."

"Well, always look at the good side. At least you find your phone." Annabeth offered me a smile which I returned.

I shrugged, adding a small chuckle. "I guess that's true."

I had spent the whole walk over to the ice cream store about the "complex answer" that I told Annabeth about over the phone about the location of my phone. I had thought that it was a long story, but either the ice cream store was really far or my story was just shorter than I expected it to be.

Maybe that was why Annabeth took so long on getting me and I ended up turning into a philosopher.

It was silent between us for awhile, but it was anything but uncomfortable and tense. The wind blew through our hair and clothes, tangling Annabeth's hair and making mine more messier than usual. Leaves from nearby planters fell down as they became scattered all over the floor. The leaves on the ground were disorganized, but they still had this beauty to them. Kind of like Nico's disheveled hair I suppose.

"So," Annabeth started, "what are you going to do about Nico?"

I shrugged, shoving my hands onto my jacket pockets. "I don't even know where to start. Do I go to Nico first? Or do I go to Silena first?"

Annabeth frowned deep in concentration. "Well, it depends. Do you want answers first or do you want complications settled?"

"Answers first," I replied almost immediately. "Because then the complications wouldn't be so complicated anymore."

Annabeth grinned. "Good choice, Seaweed Brain. Nico's intelligence is starting to run off on you."

"What about your intelligence?"

She scoffed. "Oh, Percy, please. I think you became stupider when we dated, but now that you're with Nico, you've become ten times smarter."

I laughed lightly. "Oh really? I'm not even dating Nico though."

She waved her hand dismissively. "You will be very soon, Percy." Annabeth punched my shoulder as a friendly gesture. "Also, since you want answers first, it's better if you go to Silena since she was the one who initiated the kiss, not Nico."

"Did Nico..." I gulped our of sheer nervousness. "Did Nico kiss her back?"

Annabeth shook her head much to my relief. "Silena told me he didn't. I'm sure Nico is still attached to you." She grinned. "I doubt anything will keep you apart for very long."
