Hi! I know I should be working on Misunderstandings, but the inspiration struck me for this and I had to write :) This is to Forever and Always by Taylor Swift.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything relating to PJO, or the song.
Once upon a time,
I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye
And we caught onto something
I hold onto the night,
You looked me in the eye
And told me you loved me
Luke had found me and told me we would be a family. I clung to that, through all the disruption in the rest of my life. It was my anchor.
Were you just kidding?
'Cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
My stupid crush. I shouldn't have let it get in the way of our friendship. I could hardly talk to him for crying out loud! Maybe if I had, I would have realized this would happen.
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby, what happened, please tell me?
'Cause one second it was perfect, now you're half way out the door
And then my whole world crashed. Luke with Kronos? No. It couldn't be.
And I stare at the phone,
He still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Why didn't he tell me anything? I kept expecting an iris message apologizing. How could he betray me? We were a family.
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Nothing is right. He was my brother, then my crush, and now he's my enemy. He broke his promise. He was now loyal to the Titans. He created the storm the gods reacted with.
Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest?
Made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure
Why were you so cowardly, Luke? A traitor, really? I never saw this in you. I thought I could trust you. Did I do something to make you break your promise?
So here's to everything
Coming down to nothing
Here's to silence
That cuts me to the core
Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore
I thought it was all a mistake, a different enemy. When the naiads found Percy half-dead, I thought it was someone loyal to Kronos, never Luke. And then I learned the truth.
And I stare at the phone,
He still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothing at all
Nothing. My family is gone. First Thalia, then Luke.
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Luke had cared about me. He never wanted me to cry. Was that what he was thinking when he betrayed me?
You didn't mean it, baby,
I don't think so
Probably not, if I've cried myself to sleep these past few days. Silently, of course.
Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
How could he forget our time together? The promise that he made me?
'Cause it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
But that's why he betrayed us. He was never the same after his quest. Never right again.
Oh, I stare at the phone,
He still hasn't called
And then you feel so low
You can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always
I remember what he promised me. He wasn't my family anymore, but I still had my real family. Right? Just one more try. Just one more call.
And it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
I remember it perfectly:
"You're . . . you're not going to take me back to my family?" I said. "Promise?"
Luke put his hand on my shoulder. "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!" I said happily.
You didn't mean it, baby,
You said forever and always... yeah
He didn't mean it. But at least I'd finally met people who did.
So? This is my first song fic, please tell me what you think or what I should improve!
Thank you for reading!
