Annabeth's pov

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. "What" I say answering it not looking at the caller i.d. "Well good morning to you too princess" Marcello's voice says I groan, laying back down. "If you could open the door it'd be great" I stood up and opened the door seeing him and Zeno standing there.

"Leave me alone i'm tired" I throw myself on the bed going back under the blanket. "Anna it's 11 get up" Zeno takes the blanket from me. I can sleep without a blanket. I'm fine with that because the a/c is on blast and it feels amazing.

I close my eyes, snuggling with my pillow feeling the bed dip. "Princess wake up, we have a whole day ahead of us." I groan looking at him smiling at me. "I fucking hate you guys" I grab my towel and clothes for the day. Turning on the water I go in the shower getting greeted with the warm water. I let it hit my skin, waking me up a bit more.

Today I just wanted to be away from everyone and hide in my room. "Hurry up Anna" Zeno says I groan, shutting off the water wrapping myself in the towel. I dry myself putting on a pair of ripped jeans with a t-shirt and my hoodie.

Getting out of the bathroom I put on my shoes seeins little flurries outside. That's New York in the winter for you. "You ready princess?" Marcello says as Zenos throws me my coat. I nod as the three of us walk to the elevator together.

Leaving the building I followed next to them to see where the hell was going. "There's this really good diner that just opened up a few months ago. It literally has the best chicken and waffles. It's about an 8 minute walk" Marcello says smiling. I don't mind the walk, it's a bit refreshing.

When we get there the place is almost empty. We sat in one of the booths near the back taking off our coats. We all order the same things: chicken and waffles with a strawberry milkshake. "Adeli got a response from Juilliard. They told her she didn't need to audition and that she got in right away." Marcello says drinking his milkshake.

"I wish i'm nervous that they would tell us anything but I've gotten nothing back from them. Joffrey, though I went to the audition, gave me a full ride offer on the spot. They showed me the dorm I would be in shit it's more like a one bedroom apartment but it's huge."

"You gonna accept it?" Zeno asks with a mouthful of waffles. "I don't know, I'm waiting for Juilliard. NYU hasn't told me anything either. I know Annalise, Liam and Madison got accepted to NYu but Viviana and Isla are still waiting." These waffles are really good. Like really really good.

Lise, Liam, Madison, Vivi and Isla are still in San Francisco; they move to New York at the end of june. Her brother brought them an apartment here. He's the guitarist in the famous band Luminosity. "I mean shit but Annalise, Vivi and Isla are going for film and photography. Liam is going for business and Madison is going for Visual arts" Marcello says, wiping his face.

I met them last summer. Her brother was here on tour. I went to the concert and she recognized me and I recognized her from there. We've been friends. Her brother might be famous but she has talent. Her pictures are like no other that i've seen.

She has a natural talent.

We finish our food, putting the plates on top of each other so it will be easier for the waitress. I tried to pay but Marcello took my wallet and stuffed it in his coat. "Now onto our next adventure" He says when we go outside. I made him give me my wallet back putting it inside my coat.

The snow starts to pick up a bit but it's nothing too much. "Anna imagine us in a few months living here. Everything we ever had to worry about is gone." Zeno says, looking around manhattan. "I can't wait"

"It's even better because I'm moving with my best friend"

Valentino's pov

It's ten and Anna still hasn't come back yet. I'm pacing around her room waiting for her like an idiot. I didn't even know she was out with Zeno and his brother till Achilles said something. I see the doorknob turn and she comes in. She looks at me taking off her coat. I see her cheeks are a bright pink due to the cold.

"How long have you been here for?" She asks me changing her clothes. "Maybe a few hours I was worried and you wouldn't respond to my messages so I decided to come here and wait for you" She picks her hair up into a ponytail before straddling my lap.

Her blueish grey eyes look into mine as her arms wrap around my neck. "I'm sorry my love I promise you it wasn't on purpose. I haven't seen Marcello in months and it'll be months before I see him again."

"I know I just wanted to make sure you were okay"

"I'm sorry"

I don't tell her anything else about it because if I do it'll start an argument. I'm not in the mood to argue and she's still cold. She presses a kiss to my lips holding me close to her. I lay her down wrapping the blanket around us. She presses a button to close the shades and the lights making the room dark.

We decided to watch a movie agreeing on Ouija. Her head lays on my chest, her arms around my body as she watches the movie instantly. My arms pull her closer to me resting my head on the pillow. Anna doesn't hate scary movies, she loves them.

Half way through the movies I hear her light snores. I shut it off lying on my side. She practically lays on top of me and a smile comes to my face. I hold her close as I close my eyes, sleeping with my love.
