Lost Without You

Annabeth's POV

Sorry for the long update!

Enjoy!

"He did what?" I asked confused as Thalia grabbed her car keys from the kitchen counter.

"He punched some police officers and threaten some other people." She explained again very quickly making it hard for me to understand clearly. Thalia put on her jacket and headed towards the front door, but then she stopped and turned around glaring at me.

"I know I shouldn't ask this, but do you want to go with me to bail Percy out of jail?" I paused for a moment deciding whether of not I should go along with her.

"Yeah, I'll go with you." Thalia seemed surprised about me coming along, but didn't say a word. I grabbed my sweater and headed out the door behind Thalia.

When we arrived in complete silence we hurried inside. As we entered we saw Nico sitting on one of the soft cream sofas reading a magazine. He looked up and saw us. He immediately jumped of his seat and sprinted towards us.

"You made it just in time." Nico whispered handing Thalia a piece of paper. Thalia threw her arms around him embracing him. "Everything is going to turn out alright. I promise."

"Hope you're right." Thalia whispered softly as Nico let go of her and looked over her shoulder staring at me.

"Hey Annabeth, it's been awhile." He finally said smiling widely making me blush.

"Yeah"

"I'm glad you came though" he paused for a moment "Percy, he hasn't been...himself lately."

"I've noticed" I muttered quietly.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. Just talking to myself." He didn't answer. Instead he shrugs and walks back to his seat. I was about to follow him until I heard someone shout from behind me.

"I am not a CRAZY MANIAC! Are you out of your mind? Why don't you believe me!?" that voice seem mighty familiar. I turned to see who the voice belonged to and I saw my long past best friend and ex-boyfriend Percy Jackson. There were two officers escorting Percy at each side. Percy was shouting at them for calling him a maniac, but the officers kept their mouths shut tight. I then realized that he was staring at me as if I were ghost. His sea green eyes were full of sadness and hate. He looked as if had lost a violent fight against some gang members. His suit was shattered and torn apart. Right beneath his left eye was an ugly dark bruise causing me pain and anger. His dark jet black hair was messy and filled with dust.

"PERCY!" Thalia ran towards Percy almost making him fall to the ground, but he caught himself before he did. The officers stood still behind Percy as Thalia gave him a bear hug.

He choked, "Can't breathe." Thalia let go of him leaving him breathless. Nico came up towards them and gave him a man "hug". Percy then turned his attention back to me. I felt like running up to him wrapping my arms around his neck telling him that everything will be alright. What I'm I thinking? I thought to myself. He would never take me back because of what I did to him years ago. Maybe he already has moved on with somebody else or even got married and I wasn't even invited!

I cleared my throat "Hey Percy." Thalia and Nico instantly left leaving us alone.

"Annabeth, what are you doing here?" he asked smiling. Maybe he wasn't mad at me I thought.

"I came with Thalia to bail you out." He chuckled making me smile shyly.

"Did she force you to come along?" I shook my head.

"No, I wanted to come along. Besides, your my friend and friends are always there when needed."

"Guess you're right" We stood there glaring at each other as if this was all a dream. He coughed and turned away blushing. I tried think of something to say, but nothing came into my mind.

"So..."

"So...what?" I asked.

"How old are you?"

I laughed "What kind of question is that?" he seemed offended.

"I was trying to make conversation! Jeez!"

I rolled my eyes "Men!"
