I'm in a random oneshot mood as of late... well, enjoy. I don't own Percy Jackson, Rick Riordan does. I don't own this song, Celine Dion does.

My Heart Will Go On

a lukabeth oneshot/songfic

Every night, in my dreams, I see you, I feel you... That is how I know you go on... Far across the distance, and spaces between us, you have come to show you go on...

Every night, since that day, Annabeth would silently cry herself to sleep. She'd thought that by lying to Luke, she could lie to herself, and that she'd be able to believe those lies. She'd thought that by being with Percy, he'd make her forget, and she could love someone else.

She was wrong.

It was two years since Luke's death, and Annabeth had finally broken up with Percy, though they stayed good friends. She finally understood something- maybe, just maybe, she was wrong when she'd told herself, years ago, that she could get over Luke. 'It's all about the mind.' she'd said adamantly. 'If I can teach myself to forget, if I can convince myself it's okay, then it will be. The power of the mind is a great thing.'

And so it is, but it isn't enough to erase heartbreak. How could she think, after all those years, that by telling herself suddenly that she didn't love him, that it would be enough? It wasn't.

"I'm sorry, Percy." she said, almost in a trance. "I never did stop loving him. I realize that now."

When she'd left his house that day, the tears running anew and wondering how she could keep on crying, when she'd felt as if she'd run out of tears long ago.

She didn't look before she crossed the street; there was no need. The ringing in her ears had told her there were no cars.

The painful ringing, the reminder of Luke, her mind being in a frenzy, depression... all those things lied to her that day, just as she lied to herself.

Annabeth Chase was hit by a car and died, finally making her way to Hades' realm for the last time. She met Luke there, finally seeing him, and for the first time in the past two years, she was truly happy. Happiness came and went in the two years, but it had never stayed long enough. Now she knew it would stay forever.

Until death are we joined together...

Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on... Once more you open the door, and you're here in my heart, and my heart will go on and on.
