A/N: Written for ladyeni for International Women's Day 2012. I used three of your prompts for this one: tired, still standing and peace and quiet. Hope that's okay :)
Summary: Annabeth, wondering if it's worth it.

She has been longing for a moment of peace ever since this started.

Not this day, not this year. No, ever since it started. Her life, as it is now. Ever since her father and her father’s new wife. Ever since Thalia. And Luke.

Ever since Percy had waltzed into their lives and she’d started feeling like she was biting off much more than she could chew. Because she wanted so desperately to help, but the last time she attempted…

Well, Thalia was a tree. And Luke was a traitor.

So much for that.

“Annabeth?” it was Grover, calling for her help. Needing her, yet again.

She got up without thinking too much about it: she was so tired, yes, but this is what she had always been doing. Dragging herself through it all: hoping for the best.

It was all she could do.

Wheeee! I loved it!!!
This is so true, and RSquared can't give her break for more than a couple of months?! C'mon, Rick! ò_ó I hope by the end of HOO she finally gets to relax and have some very deserved peace and quiet (however, I wonder how much of that she can actually get being Percy's girlfriend xD).

PS: Can I leave more prompts? *innocently bats eyelashes*
