Katy Perry: The One That Got Away


Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you


"Okay. So we'll travel north of Virginia –"
"Without any real plans."
"Um…"
"Am I right, Luke?"
"We'll build another safe house there. Alright?"
"I thought we had a dozen around America."
"…Thalia, just shut up."


We'd keep all our promises


"You're – you're not going to take me back to my family? Promise?"
"You're part of our family now. And I promise I won't let anything hurt you. I'm not going to fail you like our families did us. Deal?"
"Deal!"


Be us against the world


"If you join me, it can be like old times. The three of us together. Fighting for a better world."


In another life
I would make you stay


"Thalia! No!"
"Luke. Please. Take Annabeth, and go."
"I'm not leaving you!"
"Don't make me hurt you, Luke."
"Don't make me leave you, Thalia."
"In another life, I would make you stay. But this is my life I'm giving you. This is my life I'm sacrificing. Don't waste it, Luke. Please. Don't waste it."
