This song belongs to Rascal Flats/Cascada (but I'm not sure which). This is my first attempt at a songfic so if you have any tips leave them in the review=) And yes I know I should be updating my other story but that's effort…
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let em out
I was standing outside the Poseidon cabin, rain falling from the grey clouds in the sky. The camp was dead silent, the only sound coming from the waves crashing onto the sand. Tears slid down my cheeks as I walked into the cabin, but I didn't care; I just let them fall.
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though
Goin' on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
My heart still ached every day since…that night on Olympus. The thought of carrying on without that seaweed brain by my side just made it worse. Every day I put on a fake smile for all the other campers…but I couldn't keep it on forever.
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
He was my best friend…I could tell him almost everything. He was so confident walking into the Hall of the Gods…that Kronos wouldn't beat him. And…I believed him…I knew I shouldn't have let him do it…but now it's too late to fix my mistake.
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
If he was still here…we could have really made something. I wasn't sure then but now I'm sure…I was in love with him. And the only thing I was doing the past year was falling deeper for him…
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
I walked out of the cabin and saw Grover and Juniper in the courtyard. They were cuddling and being so cute…until they saw me.
"Hey Annabeth!" Grover said trying to start a conversation. I glanced at them and flicked up my sweat shirt hood. Grover tried to say something else, but Juniper gave him a look that screamed don't even try. I trudged through my cabin, getting greetings from my half-brothers and sisters. I ignored them and pressed a code into the wall that our bunks were supposed to be on. My bunk popped out of the wall and I climbed within the sheets. With a deep sigh I fell into a sleep, reaped with the same dream from every night since…it happened.
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
The next morning came early for me as usual. I was jerked away from my dream right before Percy died in my arms. I walked to tell him everything so bad. But even in my dream I was lost for words. I love him and wanted to spend every waking moment with him…but it was over.
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
Not seein' that lovin' you
That's what I was trying to do,
I walked out of the cabin and down to the beach. I gazed at the waves as they crashed onto the shore.
"I love you Percy…I just wish I could have told you when I had the chance…"
