The heart that connects us

So this is a sad one shot in which they both are mortal . There might be trigger moments to feelings so read on your own risk . And that's it you have been warned

Percy's POV
I lie in bed ..........did that just happen , NO WAY , does that mean she have feelings for me too . I had just kissed my crush since freshman s year. 

Annabeth chase. 

She was amazing, smart, sarcastic, funny, beautiful, kind and absolutely beautiful.

It was just a normal day , I was at home waiting for annabeth to come and tutor me like always . My mom has made her special blue cookies and is making dinner when the bell rings .

 I jump not able to handle my excitement . I open the door and there she is ...as gorgeous as ever . A simple top and jeans with converse

" Slow down there Usain Bolt" she chuckles

"Sorry .....couldn't wait ..come on in"
She comes inside to be quickly wrapped in my mother's arms

"Hello dear , it's been such a long time since I saw you "

"Mom, you saw her yesterday"

"Ohh you shut up, you have no idea how much I missed her since yesterday "


I feel like my mom loves annabeth more than me . She is just so close to her.


"I missed you too sally"

"Ohh come on , we've got homework to do "

"We sure do"
_______________________________

We finish homework and let me tell you it is absolute torture to the brain. Annabeth is packing her stuff oblivious to me staring at her . She is sooo pretty with those beautiful princess curls and tan skin , her athletic shape and flawless skin . She is no less than a goddess herself. 


Annabeth looks up at me and we lock eyes . Grey against green . None of us breaking contact .......and then As if own it's own , my body starts to lean but what surprises Me is that she starts to lean in too. Our eye contact is still firm but now we are so close , our noses are brushing against each other. Finally annabeth just cups my face and brings her lips to mine with such force that I fall on my bed but that doesn't stop us . She falls down with me and kisses me with pure passion . I've had a few kisses before this but this one is different , it is full of meaning and understanding. Annabeth tilts her face and deepens the kiss . We stay lip locked for a solid 10 seconds before pulling apart .


"Wow" She whispers with a breathtaking smile

"You kissed me " I state dumbfounded . I wanted to say something else like wow or wanna meet tomorrow but not for homework or something like that But nothing else came out .

"You didn't complain" She states with a smirk. Ohh gods , she is so pretty when she smirks like that.

"Ummmmmmm. .........does that like ......I mean ummm what does this make us ?are we still friends or you want to be more than ..you know?"

"You see such an oblivious nut , you moron, of course I want to be more than friends "

The feeling I had. The way my heart started to soar at those words is undescrible . She stands up and looks at me , she raises her eyebrow and crosses her arms . I know she wants me to do something but I can't catch on what she wants

"Ughhhhh seaweed brain , are you gonna ask me on a date or what!" She asks clearly going impatient .

"Yeah..oh right . So you ummm. I mean " I paused , took a deep breath and said " would you go on a date with me tomorrow at 7 ?"
Annabeth gave me the biggest smile I have ever seen , she leaned forward and pecked my cheek " I would love to"
With that she left . I couldn't believe I have a date and not just with anyone but with the Annabeth chase.

________________________________________
The date the other night was amazing . Percy and annabeth got together  . They both really cared for each other .......although he knew his feelings for her were way more than just like but he never got the guts to tell that and the same case vise versa . Everything was good untill one day...........

(Still percy's POV )

I was in my football practise , I could hear our couch yelling instructions . I could see the ball and the arrangement of their defenders . I knew what to do . But just when I was about to execute my plan I felt dizzy , I felt sick , and there was a stinging pain in my chest . The dizziness continued untill all i saw is black .

When I got up I was in a bed . The memories came flooding back to me , I assumed I had a sun stroke but then I looked around and there were a little to many machines over there for just an ordinary stroke . The pain in my chest had reduced but it was still there. My mom came in and when she saw me awake she burst out crying . She sat down next to me and held my hand 

"don't worry sweetie , it will all be fine"

 she brushed my forehead and pecked me on the cheek . I didn't want to fall asleep but soon my exhaustion took over me and I drifted away.

Annabeth's POV

I was in my architecture class when Micheal , one of the football member and also a good friend of percy, comes in . He starts talking but I can't make out what he is saying
"Percy...............fainted ........serious......hospital"
Those words were enough to put me in a panic mode . I rushed out and headed to the nearest hospital. I tried telling them to let me in but they just wouldn't budge . After a lot of lecturing I spotted sally . She rushed over to the reception
"She's with me . Sorry for the trouble" with that she pulled me , she started guiding me to percy's room . I was so involved into finding percy that I didn't notice the look on Sally's face . It was one of sad and defeat. I stopped and faced her
"Sally what's wrong . You seem to have crying for hours . Is percy in serious trouble . He will be alright right?" I ask , my voice shaking. Sally didn't answer , silent tears start to escaped her eyes.
"Sally , what's wrong everything's gonna be fine right " my voice slightly demanding right now
"Nnn...no, it's not alright , doctors talked omething bout failing organ , i couldnt listen but I  know that he needs a donar and soon "

"A donar for what sally ?...a kidney,blood, cartilage-"

"Heart..........he needs a donar for his heart" her voice so faint it was barely audible . 

I felt my heart sink. This should not be happening . I rush over to percy's room . There he lay amidst the various machines . His breathing is uneven . And his eyes are shut . I feel tears threatening to spill. I sat down beside him

"Ohh percy . Please don't go away like this . Who am I gonna correct at their stupidity if you're not there?"
I saw his eyes fluttering open slowly .

"A-a-annabeth? "

"No,its me ,lord and saviour jesus christ , who else seaweed brain"

" I am lying in a hospital bed with several machines attached to me and you still can't keep your sarcasm in check ,can you"


We both chuckle but the moment passes quickly and we fall into a silence. We've had many times where we just stay silent and stare at each other but those are comfortable , this moment is full of tension and fear of losing the other one. Thankfully the nurse comes in but then asks me to leave 

 I don't want to but I head out , not before kissing percy's forehead and telling him that he better become alright . I step out with such a heavy heart

Heart........such an important organ , sometimes you can just learn so much from something so tiny.

The doctors say they have to perform a small surgery. Sally and I are soo tensed right now that even a cat jump makes us laugh , just can't keep our emotions right .

A few hours later the surgery is done but the results weren't so approving . The need for a donar became more and more urgent by the second
.

I was told to go home and come by tomorrow during meeting hours. Ive had a happy life , parents loved me , i was very ambitious and also got a scholarship to new york that's when I met percy. He was this annoying person when I first met him , we actually even hated each other , but then became friends and best friends and now we are dating. Watching percy die like this is so painful . His life was never easy . First his dad dies then he has an abusive stepfather . His little brother passes away even before birth . I want to give him a chance to live , I want to .

Sally'sPOV
A few days later the doctors said they found a donar . I was overjoyed . But when I told this news to annabeth her reaction was slightly different. She had tears in her eyes and a smile on her face . Her words were one of celebration but her eyes held a certain sadness . Like she might not meet percy again.

I asked when the surgery could begin and they told me tomorrow itself . I was so relieved , I wanted to meet the donar and thank the person for doing such a thing but the doctors said that the donar would not like to be seen. Okayyyy.

Annabeth's POV

I am ready . I am not scared today but I am happy . Walking down the halls of the hospital I simply thank God for everything . I reach his room and enter . There he is , his face is pale and his body has weakened. I go over to his bed and kiss his forehead

"I ...I love you seaweed brain"

"L....l.....lo...love ..you....to ...to ....w....w...wise g..girl."
That's it i can't stay here anymore . I keep the note and leave the room . I go over to Sally's that night . We talk and eat and then I hug her tight
"Goodbye sally"

Sally's POV

NO WAY
I CAN'T BELIEVE I OVERSLEPT. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN.

I quickly rush over to the hospital . The nurse tells me that the surgery is going on . The donar has given the heart and now they have to operate it into percy .

_______________________________

The surgery is successful. OH MY GODS , THANK YOU SO MUCH .
I wait for the doctors to clear up before I enter . I can't believe annabeth's not here . Might have overslept too. Maybe there was something in that food. The doctors come out, I thank each one of them and go to see my little boy . He is bedridden but the colour on his face has started to return .
."Hey percy , how are you now?"

"I am fine mom, have you seen annabeth? "

"No , I've been trying to find her too"

"Ohh okay"

We talk for the next half an hour before the nurse comes in and tells me that percy needs to rest . I say my last goodbye and
Leave . I go to one of the doctors who performed percy's surgery and ask him the name of the donar . And the name he tells me gives me a shock....

A few weeks later

Percy's POV
I come home , wow it's good to be home . My mom has been acting wierd though. She is always there for me but it seems like she lost somewhere .

 I remember finding a note near me after the surgery . I couldn't read it then so I decided to read it now . I climb on my bed and open the letter and immediately I know who it's from

Dear seaweed brain,
I don't know if you know yet , but I am still writing. Ok I officially suck at this. So here it goes
Percy when I first met you I absolutely hated you . You were annoying , troublemaking and didn't care about your grades at all. But as I came to know you , you weren't that bad . You were sweet, kind , caring and a total oblivious dumbass. When news came of your heart problem , I was devastated, didn't know what to do . Life has always been unfair to you but it has been very kind to me . I hate to admit it but I think you are smart  even if you struggle in homework ...and strong. Strong , no doubt . You've shown me what it is like to be able to know what's gonna come and still not be afraid . Now I am writing this letter , listening to my heartbeat , the heartbeat of the same heart that will soon be your heartbeat , the heartbeat of the same heart that's is making your blood flow, the same heart that is giving you life . I know we couldn't have proper goodbyes but those 6 months with you were the best of my life ..........if you're crying right now , its fine you should cry, cause I am crying right now , I just want you to know even if we cannot physically see each other , I will always be right here . I will still live in the same heart we share. I will feel hurt when you feel hurt. I will feel happy when you are happy . I will be alive till you live and I will die when you die cause from now on we are one . Anytime you miss me just remember I am not gone , I am simply inside you . Now I don't want you too spend the rest of your life crying and missing me rather you make use of it . Become the famous swimmer you wanted to be , and I bet you wouldn't get tired as fast as you used to cause now our strengths has combined too. Anytime you just wanna give up , remember me standing there , my arms crossed , my eyebrows scrunched and my eyes filled with slight rage and feel me telling you" You better not give up . So stand up , wash your face , clear your thoughts and go get me some pizza ." Get a pizza and eat it , remember I am still inside you enjoying the pizza too. And hey don't eat to much junk cause I don't wanna die of obesity or anything.dont forget to talk to me everyday and Lastly ,I hope all the emotions I am feeling right now is coursing through you , put your hand over your heart, listen to its beat and remember .....this is the thing that connects us.......this is the heart that connects us .
I love you so much seaweed brain

Love,
Wise girl.

I felt millions of tears rolling down my eyes . My mom came in and realised I knew . She said nothing and simply held me tight . I let the tears fall , I did not let even one of them stay inside Me but I also promised that I won't give up . I will live this life and will live it to the fullest .

Many years later

"Hey annie, so i am in the hospital , simply lying in this bed .i am about to die any moment now . Ive grown old , had a succesful life and all of this is thanks to you . Estelle has also grown into a young woman. I dont even recognise her now(he talked to annabeth everyday,and told her about sally marrying Paul and having estelle.... incase you are wondering) anyways I just wanted to say .......I'll see you soon .

With that the monitors line went flat .......
