~ Percy ~

Leo and I walked to the 'meeting room' and saw the leaders sitting around the ping pong table, Including Rachel Dare and Chiron.

A sit was empty beside Annabeth and I occupied it while Leo took the seat beside Jason.

"Alright, everyone's here," Chiron started, now in a wheelchair form. Or else his head would hit the ceiling.

"The war was over weeks

ago, with the help of

yours - "

"And not the gods," I interrupted. I didn't know what came over me but I had to say it.

"They are still under -"

"Hiding? I saw Athena alright. What's up with that?"

Chiron frowned.

"Percy," Annabeth kicked my leg underneath the table.

"Hey, we still won the war didn't we? There's no worry now. " Piper piped up. No charm speaking will work on me.

"But don't you get it? We are just tools to them. The war was because of the gods, not us anyway. Alright we can help, but can't they show their appreciation?" I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. I must really practice the yoga my mom always do.

But you can't blame me right? I fought and got injured.

(We're not talking about slight cuts here but a pool of blood swarming around.)

I fell into Tartarus and went through a lot of crap that may result me to lie on the bed in the mental hospital. The gods could at least show their appreciation if not rewards us. And what made me angry most of all is that Athena personally came and asked me to sacrifice.

After all I did for the gods. This is what they do. This is the last straw.

"Come on now Percy, don't fret on this like an immature boy," Jason propped his elbows on the green ping pong table and raised his eyebrow.

Immature? Who does he think he is. If only he knows what I have to go through. I'm sure he would be as mad as me if Aphrodite told him to leave piper.

I glared at Jason with furious eyes and stood up. "Look, okay you know what, I can't do this anymore." I pushed the chair back and pushed to door open to go out.

~ Annabeth ~

Percy slammed the door shut and the room was filled with sudden silence. He wasn't being himself today.

"Umm what was that?" Leo asked.

"He's really being sensitive isn't he," Piper glanced at me as though I might attack her.

"Must be the effect of post-war. He's just feeling stressed out." Chiron sighed and stared at the door where Percy exited.

"But he didn't behave like this after the war with Kronos did he Chiron," I asked rhetorically.

"Maybe he's just tired of fighting and saving and not getting any recognition by the gods," Hazel said. It was the first time she spoke in the room, I almost didn't realize her.

"I'll just check on him okay. You guys carry on," I stood and made my way out of the room.

The sun rays shone bright and I covered my eyes while walking to find that seaweed brain. He doesn't really behave like this. Not fierce or even, too grumpy. Something must have happened and its not really the war. I'm a child of Athena, I definitely knows what's wrong.

I knocked lightly on the Poseidon's cabin door.

"Percy?"

There wasn't any answer. I tried the knob and the door swang open. It gave a light continous creak until it stopped moving.

I saw the black hair boy sitting on his bed with his hands in his hair. Why is he so stressed up?

"Is something wrong? Why are you so angry,"

"You know why, Annabeth,"

He said without looking up.

I sat beside him giving a space of an inch.

"So it's really because of the gods?" I questioned.

"What do you think?" Percy finally looked up and gritted his teeth. I didn't believe that I would say this but he looked, scary. I was almost afraid of him.

"Alright, you don't have to vent your anger on me do you?" I concentrated on the wall, feeling quite annoyed.

"Okay let me get this done and over with. The earlier the better." Percy stood up and leaned against the wall. He ran his hands over his hair and took a deep breath before saying his words.

"We can't be together anymore Annabeth,"

Did I hear it right? Was my mind playing tricks. I have no idea.

"What?" I stared at him in disbelief.

"You heard me," he huffed.

"I don't get it. Percy, you can tell me if something's bothering you. I'm sure there's a reason -"

"There's isn't any reason Annabeth! Okay maybe there is. I just lost my feelings for you okay. The feeling is just not there anymore. I'm

sorry. "

He wasn't sorry. I could see it in his eyes. My heart shattered when I heard those cruel words. But I don't allow me to cry. Never will I be weak.

"This is not you," I let out merely a whisper.

"It's me alright. It is! I'm not possessed or whatever. Now please, I need some peace so If you could please, just leave me,"

Without hesistating I went out of the room and ran to the beach. Tears welled in my eyes and I'm not allowing anybody to see me in this state.

I sat on the sand and looked far at the sea. The place where Percy and I escaped to go on a quest. Percy. Why mention him? He's now just a stupid seaweed brain.

I hate him.
