Chapter 6

*screams into the void*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Annabeths POV

It's a miracle that Malcolm was able to wake me this morning. I was exhausted. And you know the first damn thing to come to mind? Piper. I smiled a little bit, then jumped up, throwing a camp shirt on over my tank top and hurried my cabin out to dinner. All the other cabins were already there, including the Aphrodite cabin and oh my gods how can Piper look so good if she got as little sleep as I did what the fuck. Well there goes my train of thought. I was about to look away when she caught my eye and smirked. Then she winked and looked away. I didn't know weather to be flustered or confused or what, but I felt the color rise to my cheeks as I looked away.

Malcolm noticed and looked around, and upon seeing the lack of Percy in the dining hall (should I mention that Jason wasn't there either?), raised an eyebrow. I shook my head and punched his arm lightly to signify that it was nothing. That was a lie. But he didn't know that. No one knew that all I had on my mind was Piper, Piper, Piper, and, oh yeah, Piper. Except maybe Piper. 

Its not like I hadn't felt like this before. Percy made me feel like this for about 2 years before I had the guts to kiss him already. He still does sometimes. But piper, this is almost new. I'd admired her and had respect for her quickly once I knew her. Then we were friends. Then, well, I feel fore her. When Percy and I got back, I was having a lot of night terrors. So was Percy, but sometimes he would be so peaceful that I wouldn't want to wake him. But Pipers light would be on, so I would go to her. She would hold me while I cried, while I shivered, while I sobbed. She would stay like that with me until I fell asleep, then she would hold me while she fell asleep. She was there. She was always there. 

And now? To know that she like me too? To know that she kissed me for gods sake? It makes my heart flutter and my stomach try to crawl up my throat.

But at the same time, I couldn't wait until we were alone again.

I got jerked out of my train of thought by someone fairly heavy plunking down next to me and wrapping their arm around me. I would have flipped if I hadn't caught a whiff of saltwater. It was just Percy. I turned my head and nuzzled into his shoulder before tilting my head up and placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Hey," He said, his voice low and vibrating though his chest.

"Hey. You're up pretty late. I noticed Jason was too." I replied, nudging him a bit.

"Just like I noticed you and Piper in the strawberry fields last night." I could hear his smirk as I turned my head back into his chest, fighting the blush rising to my cheeks.

"Shut up or I swear I will flip you off this table.""That's what I thought. I gotta go before Chiron kicks my ass for sitting here in the first place. Meet me at the beach tonight?" Percy placed a kiss to my forehead before getting up and striding off to his own table.
