Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not Own PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS or HEROES OF OLYMPUS.
And now I cry!
I would like to present to you... It's You
The stage. The crowd. The music. Those were the three things that held them together, not like some superstars, who are stuck together by their drugs, alcohol and sex. Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, PiperMcLean and Reyna Bellona. The Godlings, were outcasts, pop stars and legends. They were nineteen and making the most of they're lives.
The stage. The crowd. The music. The three things that they loved, the three things that made them famous. Percy Jackson, Nico Di Angelo, Jason Grace and Leo Valdez. The Heros were the male copy of the Godlings, they were, also, in a way their enemies.
The two bands were rivals since kindergarden. Yet lovers in the same time.
Annabeth's Pov
"Hellooo Philadelphia! Now you know who we are but I'm gonna say it anyway, We Are THE GODLINGS and we will Rock Your Night!" I Shouted through the microphone. I nodded my head at the girls and: The crowd cheered, The lights flashed and our music started.
(Annabeth, Thalia, Piper, Reyna, all apart for Reyna ) (Riptide by Emma Stevens (I thought it was ironic!))
"Something's happening to me and you
Lighting up the night brighter than the moon
I couldn't stop it if we wanted to
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Oh oh, I'm out of my depth
Struggling to breathe, got to catch my breath
A little voice saying yes yes yes
I can hear the sirens screaming
When you touch me, when you hold me
I don't care, I'm in too deep
You're like a riptide dragging me away
Adrenaline kicking and my heartbeat thumping
Riptide underneath the waves
Hold on tight cause it's the start of something
I gotta love it, riptide
I gotta love it, riptide
Nothing ever gonna feel so fine
I finally found a little piece of paradise
It's like I'm living in a different life
The sun is always shining
See the shoreline fade from view
I try … to just me and you
There's nothing else about to do
It feels just like I'm flying
When you touch me, when you hold me
I don't care, I'm in too deep
You're like a riptide dragging me away
Adrenaline kicking and my heartbeat thumping
Riptide underneath the waves
Hold on tight cause it's the start of something
Riptide washing me away
A force so strong that I just can't fight it
Riptide, nothing more to say
Feels so good, I never thought I'd find it
Can't hear it, can't see it
Invisible but you believe
This power, this feeling
God, I love the way it's taking over me
I feel it, I need it
Impossible to let it be
You know that I want it
You're the only one who's going to set me free
Riptide dragging me away
Adrenaline kicking and my heartbeat thumping
Riptide underneath the waves
Hold on tight cause it's the start of something
Riptide dragging me away
Adrenaline kicking and my heartbeat thumping
Riptide underneath the waves
Hold on tight cause it's the start of something
Riptide washing me away
A force so strong that I just can't fight it
Riptide, nothing more to say
Feels so good, I never thought I'd find it
I gotta love it, riptide
I gotta love it, riptide" As we finished the crowd cheered as if they had never cheered before.
We continued for a few hours and then said goodbye, we went behind stage and Silena, our manager, greeted us with four bottles of water.
"Thanks, Sil." Piper thanked her, Silena was a 21 and Piper's half sister. She had dark hair and blue eyes, she never wore under 2 inch heels so after a while you got a sore neck from trying to look at her face when she talked (which was a lot!).
"Girls, I know we were meant to finish the tour at NY tomorrow, but I was offered a deal that could gain you quite a fan base...", Silena paused for the dramatic effect, "I think you are all quite familiar with The Heroes, they are also finishing a tour in New York though two days after you, anyway, the idea was that once the tour was finished for both bands, you would pair up with each other and create an album together, seeing as both bands acquire different people yet you produce the same kind of music, it would be a great opportunity for you all. Well Charlie and I were thinking that if you could make an album with a pair singing and also just one person, you would be a sensation within the week!", she squealed, ok that was not what I was expecting, but then I don't think the others were either.
"Sil, you know that we don't mix with them!" Thalia practically shouted at Silena. I had to say I agreed with Thalia, we don't mix with them, they all hurt us in their own personal way.
"Who the hell is Charlie anyway?" Reyna asked.
"Oh, Charlie (*cue dreamy face*) is their manager, extremely hot too!" our manager replied. "Look, sleep on it, I'll come to your hotel tomorrow, and we'll discuss it some more, ok?" she was replied with some yes' and ummph's. "Brill!" and she was up again! "I'll see ya tomorrow girls!"
*Hey I'm Bob, I'm a line break, I have eight imaginary toes!*
(Still Annabeth's Pov)
It was nine in the morning, was sitting in the lounge of our penthouse, flicking through the channels when I fell upon MTV, and Percy Jackson was being interviewed.
"So, Percy I hear that you might be meeting up with the Godlings, is it true?" the presenter said.
"Um, I don't think that will happen, and even if it was I wouldn't know!" he smirked. The presenter, obviously annoyed that she didn't get her gossip ,continued.
"Well, I hear that in your entire life you have only had two girlfriends, am I right?
"Yes, two." Percy visibly tensed.
"Who did you love the most?"
"Um, the first one." I tensed, I was his first one. I was his first girlfriend, but he'd cheated on me with Calypso, I presume his second girlfriend.
"Do you still love her?" The girl asked.
"Uum, well-" the door slammed and I heard a familiar tap of high heeled shoes. I switched of the tv and braced myself for Silena's puppy dog eyes and her powers of persuasion.
*Hi, It's Bob again! My eyes are purple! Here have a cookie (::) Bye!*
An: Something I want to point out quickly, Thalia and Nico are both Percy's cousins except that Nico is his cousin on Percy's Mom's side, kay? Good, we got that cleared up.
Percy's Pov. (Three days later, they said yes!)
I was beating Nico to the studio, and I let him start first! We were racing through NYC from my mom's house to the studio where we were meant to meet up with Beckendorf, as usual we were late, but we were waiting for the cookies to finish cooking and everybody knows that my mom make's the best cookies in the world!
I rounded a corner to see paparazzi vans parked outside of the studio. Shit.
"Nico, back door!" I said to him urgently. "Why- Oh yes. Back door it is." He faltered when he saw why. We ran around the building, I opened the door and we ran down the corridors looking for the right room after a while we got bored and Nico had a bright idea.
"Why don't you text Beckendorf and ask which studio it is?" He suggested?.
"Not a bad idea Di Angelo." And I switched on my iPhone, only to be greeted with six messages:
Don't be late. Beckendorf at 9.32
Can you buy me some fireworks? Cheers. Leo Leo at 9.56
Where are you? You were meant to be here half and hour ago! Beckendorf at 10.38
Dude, hurry up! Beck's gonna explode, where are you and Nico. Jason at 10.43
Forget the fireworks, Jason got them, can you buy the puppets though? Leo at 10.49
Jackson, get ur ass over here now! Beckendorf at 10.51
I shuddered, I was soo dead. I quickly texted Leo to ask him which room it was only to have a reply asking what the hell I was talking about. That would explain the fireworks and the puppets. I then texted Jason and he said it was room A.4.
"It's the studio A.4 quick!" I started running up the corridor towards the A section. I found A.4 and walked in a box of cookies in one hand the other on the door handle. I almost dropped the box, there sitting on one of the purple couches, was my first girlfriend, Annabeth Chase, lead singer of the Godlings. Sure, he knew she going to be there, but she looked so perfect like always, her blond curls were up in a messy bun, she was wearing a white t-shirt, a denim pair of shorts and flip-flops. She was laughing along with Piper at something Jason had said. I regrouped myself and walked into the room Nico tailing behind.
"Where the hell have you been? You were meant to be here an hour ago! And where's Leo?" Beckendorf scolded me.
"Well, I had that interview and then I went by mom's to pickup something, Leo's on his way, as he had completely forgotten. Here have a cookie." I offered, no one could resist my mom's cookies.
"Are they your mom's?" I nodded he picked one up and took a big bite out of it, he nodded his head as he munched. "As usual your mom as outdone herself." Beck said as he swallowed his bite.
I put the box of cookies on the small coffee table just as Leo came running through the door, mumbling some excuses.
"So now that everyone has decided to show up," Silena the girls' manager said casting me, Nico and Leo some stern glances. "We will announce the pairs, your project will be to at least procure us with three or four songs each. Charlie will you do the honors" Silena stepped back. "Well pair number one; Nico and Thalia, group number two; Jason and Piper, group number three; Leo and Reyna and that obviously leaves Percy and Annabeth as group four." Beck said with a clap of his hand, "You have the rest of the day off, come in tomorrow at 10 am sharp." Stealing a quick glance in my direction as he said the last bit.
*Hi, it's meeeeee! Bob! Do you like sweets? I like mini eclairs and sherbet lemon! Bye!*
Time skip (still Percy's Pov)
I had to admit, I had two feelings upon the fact that Annabeth and I were partnered together, excitement and frustration, excitement for what might happen between us, frustration because I knew she would never let anything happen, after all she had a boyfriend, Luke Castellan, Gods how I hated that guy, she cheated on me with him. Luke was a foul person, he cheats on Annabeth at every chance he gets, buts either she doesn't know or she's just ignoring it.
I switched on the Tv to MTV so I could listen to something to keep my mind of off her. I was listing to Wake me up by Avicii when my eyes started closing.
I woke up to my phone ringing. I answered. It was Nico.
"Dude, it's half past nine! MTV, she's on it!" And he hung up. I shifted my gaze to the Tv. Nico was the only one who knew about Annabeth and me. It was Annabeth being interviewed by that pesky girl Natasha (I have no idea what her name is so...), always asking annoying questions and flirting!
"So Annabeth, I hear you are currently with the famous actor Luke Castellan, are my sources correct?"
"Yeah, Luke and I have been going out, for two years now." Annabeth replied, smiling.
"Do you think he's going to pop the question soon?"
"Um, I don't know, I mean we're only nineteen..." She trailed off.
"If he did, would you say yes?"
"Of course, he's the love of my life!" She exclaimed.
"I hear that your first boyfriend was Percy Jackson, is it true?" Nat asked, being the curious person that she is.
"Um, yeah, I guess." my ex looked uncertain.
"I was interviewing him yesterday. And he said that he only ever had two girlfriends in his entire life, do you believe that?"
"Well, I don't know, I mean it's his personal life." She was defending me.
"Were you his first girlfriend or seco-" She was cut of by my Wisegirl. Wait. Not mine.
"I'm sorry, I've gotta go, I'm late for something. Sorry." And with that she grabbed her coat and ran for it. Nat introduced the next song as 'In the air'. I checked my watch, Shit, I was going to be late if I didn't hurry up.
