Hi guys! :) So anyways, this fanfic is post-Titan's Curse and pre-Last Olympian. Kind of AU, but nevermind :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, or Luke Castellan, or any PJO stuff. They all belong to Rick, the best writer I know of. :)
Neither do I own Fearless or Grenade. They are just awesome songs which I fell in love with. :)
Annabeth was sitting down by the beach, listening to her iPod. As 'Fearless' by Taylor Swift ended, another song started playing - 'Grenade' by Bruno Mars. She bobbed her head along to it as thoughts filled up her head.
Easy come, easy go,
That's just how you live, oh,
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give.
She instantly grimaced. Luke. How was it that that verse reminded of him, Annabeth didn't know. Maybe it was because it described him perfectly. He was laid back. He lived life the way he wanted to. He took all of it... all of Annabeth's love then, and of course, he didn't give any back.
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Had your eyes wide open;
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had,
And you tossed it in the trash.
You tossed it in the trash, you did.
That was true too. Maybe not the first kiss part, but it was the bit where she gave him all she had, and he tossed it in the trash. What did he do with Annabeth's admiration for him then? He took it for granted. He took her for granted.
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
cause what you don't understand is;
I'd catch a grenade for ya.
Throw my hand on a blade for ya.
I'd jump in front of a train for ya.
You know I'd do anything for ya,
I would go through all this pain,
take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
but you won't do the same.
Annabeth was starting to think that Bruno Mars knew all about her life. She held the weight of the sky for Luke once, and he didn't even care. He left her there. To die. But what was the most important thing about the song that held true in her case, was the 'I'd'. I would. It was in past tense. Had she seen Luke holding up the sky now, she wouldn't care. Not what after he had done to her.
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad (wo)man, bad (wo)man,
That's just what you are, yeah,
You'll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car
As Annabeth saw it, Luke belonged in Tartarus. She laughed slightly at the bit about the devil. He was the one who was the devil. He would stop at nothing to gain control of the world; to kill all who stood in his way. Ripping the breaks out of a car was too minor for him. Knowing him, he'd bash that car up. Maybe set it on fire. With his evil mind, who knew what he would possibly do next?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash.
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did.
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is;
I'd catch a grenade for ya,
Throw my hand on a blade for ya,
I'd jump in front of a train for ya,
You know I'd do anything for ya,I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.
If my body was on fire,
You' d watch me burn down in flames.
You said you loved me;
You're a liar,
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
Shaking her head slightly, Annabeth gritted her teeth. Luke never loved her. She was a pawn; she was used. He tricked her. He was a liar. And most of all, he deserved to die. Just then, she felt a tap on her back. She turned around, facing Percy.
"Hey, Annabeth." Percy said, grinning at her.
She smiled back, standing up and brushing sand off from her pants and removing the earbuds from her ears. They walked together back to camp, chatting along the way. Annabeth remembered that her dad used to say, "Young love is blind love." She understood now. Having a crush on Luke then was the dumbest thing she'd ever done, but falling for Percy? Maybe that was acceptable.
But darling I'll still catch a grenade for ya,
Throw my hand on a blade for ya,
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.
No, you won't do the same,
You wouldn't do the same,
Ooh, you'll never do the same,
No, no, no, no.
Hope you liked it! :)
And by the way, feel free to flame.
