Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,

When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out (oh).

We're stressed out.

I woke up lying on Luke's muscular shoulder.

I looked around.

Everybody was asleep except me.

I pulled the blanket closer to me as the room was freezing cold.

Percy was lying on the opposite side of the bed sharing a blanket with me and Luke.

He looked so very cute while sleeping.I wished that I could just go and hug him.

But I remembered--I'm not single anymore.

Luke's head was hanging on the side of the bed.

Leo and Calypso were closely inside the blanket.

Thalia,Nico and Will were sleeping on the floor in separate blankets.

Thalia's jet black short hair were all over her face.

Frank and Hazel were cosily lying on the couch,with Frank's arms wrapped around Hazel like he would never let her go.

Jason was lying on Piper's lap and Piper had her hands on top of Jason.

Just then I noticed--Piper had a tattoo on her right hand!

It was her first tattoo and it had 'Blonde Superman' inscribed on it.

Thalia started to wake up so I fell asleep,like I had never woken up earlier.

Unlike me Thalia woke up everybody.

"Wake up blockheads!"Thalia screamed so that her shrill voice goes into each person's ear.

"What's up sis?"Jason asked sitting up.

"Jason,it's so late!It's already ten!"Thalia replied pulling the curtains open so that sunlight could penetrate in the room.

"Here comes Calypso!"Leo said removing the blanket.

We all looked at Leo confused.Including Calypso.

"Sunshine,"Leo said hugging Calypso while she hugged him back.

We all got up and washed our face one-by-one.

Then it was time to go home.

"I'll pick you up at 4,"Luke said giving me a small peck on my cheek as he left.

Everybody left and I remained till the last.

"Percy can we talk?"I ask while opening the door to exit.

"I'm not in the mood to talk Annabeth,"he replied his gaze fixed to the ground.

I tried not to sound hurt and nodded.

"It's ok.Take your time and let me know when you are comfortable,"I said exiting the house.

I took a last look at Percy but he still didn't look at me.

*My house*

"How was the sleepover?"mom said as soon as I came downstairs after taking a shower.

I didn't reply.

"Are you fine Annabeth?"mom asked with her voice full of concern.

I didn't look at her but nodded.

"Good.So what are the plans for today?"my mom said trying to cheer me up.

"I have a date,"I said as I started to go upstairs.

"Oh cool.With Percy?"mom asked.

I freezed at my spot.Percy's name made my heart throb.I could feel tears on the edge of my eyes.

"No.Luke,"I said heading upstairs to avoid anymore questions from mom or maybe..to hide that I was crying.

Since I was young,I had gotten the name that I didn't cry.

So I didn't want to show mom that I was crying over a boy.

I closed the door behind me and lay on my bed.

I cried till the bed was wet till a message came.

Luke:Wear something casual girl,not a dress.See you at 4!

I finally got the guts to look at Percy's house until I started to get ready.

Opening my balcony door,I went and stood there,my eyes fixed on Percy's room.

Finally I saw him.

He lay on his bed,his hands on his face,covering his handsome face.

It felt like he was crying.

He suddenly got up and looked out of his balcony his gaze fixed on me.

I quickly switched my gaze from him to the butterfly sitting on my balcony sill.

Percy got up from his bed and came out in the balcony.

'I can't stand here any longer.Looking at him will make me weak.I can't cry in front of him,'I told myself as I went back in my room closing the curtains.

I looked at myself in the mirror wiping my tears.

I looked a total mess!It was already 2 and I only had 2 hours to get ready!

I quickly went in the washroom and washed my hair.

Then I went to my wardrobe.

"Casual,"I said picking out a white crop top which had 'Love yourself' written on it.Then I picked out some booty shorts and a black flannel over it.

I went to my dressing table and brushed my hair.I applied eyeliner and shiny lip gloss.Then I slipped in some converse to top it all over.

I glanced at my phone screen and it was already 3:45 by the time I got ready.

I pulled the curtains apart and looked at Percy's house.

The curtains of his room were closed.

I sighed in despair and waited for Luke to text me.

A message flashed on my phone screen.

Luke:I'm here.

I grabbed my phone and went downstairs.

I exited my house and in front of me was a black BMW with Luke Castellan sitting inside it.

I quickly went and slid beside Luke who was on his phone.

He slid his sleek Iphone in the pocket and observed me from top to bottom.

"Hot.Just the way I like it,"Luke said starting the car.

He wore a tight black t-shirt in which his six abs and v-line were visible.

"So where are we going?"I asked as Luke drove o some unknown place.

"Just wait and see princess.I'm sure you'll love it,"was his only reply as he continued driving.

Suddenly he halted to a beautiful garden in front of a lake.

We were quite far away from New York and all the hustle-bustle.

We got out of the car and Luke pulled out a basket with food.

"It's beautiful,"I said standing underneath a huge tree.

"Sure it is.I can be romantic sometime,"Luke said placing the basket on the grass.

We sat down and ate,while looking at the beautiful scenery.

Then Luke suggested that we should go and play in the water.

We both went in the water and splashed water at each other.

At this time I completely forgot about Percy.

We got out of the water,our clothes completely wet.

We started packing our stuff to get back home when suddenly Luke pushed me into a tree,his body pressed against mine.

He smacked his soft lips to mine and I kissed him back.

His hands were restless and kept tracing my body.

He grabbed hold of his t-shirt ready to take it off but I pulled it down.

He pulled away his lips from mine and asked,"Don't you want it more?"

"I do but our clothes stay,"I replied smacking my lips again on his.

We kissed for a couple of minutes until we decided to head back home.

"Bye princess,"Luke said as I slid out of the car.

"Bye.Thanks for such a great time."

"Anything for you,"he said giving me a small peck on the lips.

*At home*

"How was the date?"mom asked placing my dinner on the table.

"Awesome,"I replied with my mouth full of chicken soup.

"I'm glad that you are cheered up again."

After I was finished with my soup I walked back upstairs and packed my bag.

I looked at Percy's room.

The lights were on but the curtains were closed.

I wondered if Percy would wait for me tomorrow morning.

"I wish he would,"I muttered and drifted to sleep.

Hope you liked it!

Love you loads!
