Author's Note: I felt like doing this. I am sorry for not uploading "The Date". I will soon. I've been worried about my track championship on Sunday and exams next week. Summer's coming soon, so yipdiddlyyumptumsquat!
Eyes Open
No One's P.O.V.
"Oh look. There's Drew. Stuck-up bitch!"
"Did you hear? She cheated on that Apollo kid, Will!"
"Does she really think she can wear that?"
"How can she act so cool when she cheated on Will? The only good Aphrodite kids are Piper and Selena!"
The Whispers? Yeah, she heard them. She knows the disgust that flows from them. She didn't mean to cheat on Will. He was so sweet and kind and caring. She knew what she did was wrong. She didn't mean to kiss that Hermes guy. She doesn't even know his name. So when she hears the Whispers, she does what any normal person would do. She runs to her cabin, grabs her iPod, given to her by her mother, so it doesn't emit signals, and puts on a song that describes her life. When it starts, she runs to the creek in the woods.
Drew's P.O.V.
"Everybody's waiting
Everybody's watching
Yeah. You got that right. They're waiting for me to mess up.
Even when you're sleeping
Keep your eye-eyes open
Oh gods, how I try to.
The tricky thing is
Yesterday we were just children
These wars have made us grow up too fast.
Playing solider, just pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards,
Winning battles with the wooden swords
Yes, it's true. My daddy knew I had ADHD, so he put me in the backyard, gave me a wooden sword, and told me to play. When I got tired, he brought me into the house and read me a fairytale that actually had a happy ending, unlike this demigodly shit we have to deal with!
But now we've stepped into a cruel world
Where everybody stands and keeps score
That's what it feels like to be a demigod or demigoddess.
Keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting
For you to breakdown
Everybody's watching
To see the fallout
Does everyone hate me? Piper and I have gotten on better terms. But the question remains; are they waiting for me to fall?
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eye-eyes open
Keep your eye-eyes open
Keep your eye-eyes open
So here you are,
Two steps ahead and staying on guard
That's how my life is. Always on guard, no one to trust anymore. I broke his heart. He was the one who could see through me and I didn't mind one bit.
Every lesson forms a new scar
They never thought you'd make it this far
Every mistake, every whisper, every laugh, it cuts. Not visible. But on my heart. My dad thought I died in the Camp Half-Blood vs. The Titans. He was prouder of our Golden Retriever, Jess.
But turn around
Now they've surrounded you
It's a showdown
And nobody comes to save you now
Will used to. He was, no IS, my knight in shining armour. He was my one protector when everyone would whisper behind my back like I was deaf.
But you got something they don't
Yeah, you got something they don't
I laughed at the irony at this. I have nothing now. Nothing. The only girl remotely nice to me was Selena, and you know how that went. The only guys, well one's dead and I broke His heart. Nothing at all.
You just gotta keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting
For you to breakdown
Everybody's watching
To see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eye, eyes
I try so hard to be nice. I try to be kind, but it always blows up in my face.
Keep your feet ready
Heartbeat steady
Keep your eyes open
Keep your aim locked
The night grows dark
Keep your eyes open
Feet ready, heartbeat steady, aim locked. It's just so hard when your a child of Aphrodite.
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eye, eyes open
Everybody's waiting
For you to breakdown
Everybody's watching
To see the fallout
Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eye, eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Keep your eye, eyes open
When the song came to a close, I looked at my reflection in the creek. My mascara's running, but strangely, I don't care. My eyes and nose are red and my lips are quivering. I heard footsteps. I looked up and Will walked into the clearing.
"Drew, I was looking everywhere for you! Do you know what happened since you ran in here? There are so many rumors going around. Some are saying that you came to meet a lover. Others say you are cutting. Elsewhere people said that you committed suicide. Would you please tell me what the Hades is going on?" Will ranted.
"You want to know what's 'going on'?" I asked coldly, "I'll tell you what's 'going on'. I hear the Whispers. I see the stares, glares, pointing, and giggling behind hands. I see everybody's happiness whilst I have none of my own since we broke up. I am constantly on guard. My heart has closed, my eyes are open even when I sleep. I know people are waiting for this," I said pointing to myself. " I know they waited for me to breakdown and cry. Well? ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?" I shouted at the sky.
"Drew...I'm so sorry. I didn't know." Will said, pity flooding his face.
"How could you? How could they? How could anyone?" I whispered ferociously. I turned and looked at the creek again. I could see the tears starting again. I willed them not to go. Suddenly, a thought struck me. I turned around again to face Will. " Why do you care? Why are you here? Did no one else want to come so they sent you? We broke up!" I screeched, raising my arms to punch him.
He grabbed my wrists. "I care because I still love you. I am here because I still love you. Connor showed me a video of you having your eyes open when you kissed the other guy. You always had your eyes closed when we kissed. I came here to tell you that I. Still. Love. You."
He kissed me and to no one's surprise, I kissed back. "Does this mean we're back together?"
"On one condition: Don't ever cheat again. When you feel like it, play this song. This song keeps you together. " He replied.
"Done," I said, a smile on my face as we kissed again.
Author's Note: I hope you liked it. Please review if you want me to do more song fics. I might do one for Jannabeth. Comments? Yes, No, Maybe So?
