Okay, I'm taking a break on my book for a while, so I'm going to update. :D This story is my very first songfic, and I hope you like it.

Song: Open Wounds. Book: Percy Jackson and the Olympians

©Skillet (song) ©Rick Riordan


In the dark with the music on,
Wishin' I was somewhere else,
Taking all your anger out on me,
Somebody help.

I'm sitting in my room, wishing that I was never with you. You took all your anger out on me when we were alone, because she was too young. I wished somebody would've helped you, but it's too late.

I'd rather rot alone,
Than spend a minute with you,
I'm gone,
I'm gone.

I'd rather die, rot, be killed, taken away, anything, than to ever spend any time with you. You poisoned me, and I bet you never cared anyway. I bet you could've spent your entire life living with the fact that I almost died. And now? You try to take me back. You try to bring me to you. But guess what? I'm gone.

And you can't stop me from falling apart.
My self destruction is,
ALL YOUR FAULT!

You can't just come and ask and beg for me to come back. It's your fault I'm rebellious. It's your fault I'm an eternal maiden. My self destruction is all your fault. And you can never save me. And you never will.

HOW COULD YOU,
HOW COULD YOU,
HOW COULD YOU,
HATE ME?

When all I ever wanted, to be was you.

I just don't understand. How could you hate me so much? You asked me to come to your side because I had power. I saw it in your eyes. Your evil, uncaring eyes. I just don't understand one thing. How could you hate me? What did I ever do to you?

You were my role model then. Always. Then, I died. I was frozen in time. Not understanding what was happening while I was dead. I was resurrected, in the arms of my stupid, yet caring cousin, and realized there was another one like me. I was overly happy to see my friends, and you, especially you. Then, they told me. They told me you had left to their side. I was furious. I had almost fallen in love with you. I was just on the verge. Now, you're... that.

HOW COULD YOU,
HOW COULD YOU,
HOW COULD YOU,
LOVE ME?

When all you ever gave me, were open wounds.

You told me that you loved me. I didn't know what kind of love, but it was there. I was happy, then and there, but, you left. You're gone. You're dead. You are a traitor. You hurt me. Never physically. Always emotionally. All you ever gave me were open wounds.

Open wounds.

Downstairs, the enemy sleeps,
Leaving the TV on,
Watching all the dreams we had,
Turn into static,

Downstairs, in the deepest pit of Hell, the enemy slept. He waited for you. He twisted your mind. Turned you insane. You made me insane, too. He watched your dreams, controlled them. How could you not see the true evil in that? He watched as our dreams shattered.

Doesn't matter what I do,
Nothing's gonna change,
I'm never good enough.

It really doesn't matter. You realized your mistake too late. She couldn't change you, I couldn't, no one could. You were dying when you realized. Nothing was going to change. You are dead to me. I was never good enough for you anyways.

(Chorus, repeat how could you and what my mystery character [though it should be obvious who they are] said earlier.)

Tell me why,
You broke me down,
And betrayed my trust in you?

You destroyed me, you idiot. You tried to get me back. I'm gone. You killed the life in me. The only happiness in my life lies in my younger brother now. You betrayed every ounce of trust that I had for you. Just tell me why you did that. Tell me.

I'm not giving up,
Giving in
When will this war end,
WHEN WILL IT END?

When will this war end? I'll never give up. You haunt my dreams. Do what you want. I'm not losing. I've already won. It will only end when I die, when we meet.

And you can't stop me from falling apart.
You can't stop me from falling apart,
You can't stop me from falling apart,
Cause my self destruction is ALL YOUR FAULT!

You can't stop me. You never will. You never really cared. I hate you because of it. I'm regaining my strength, but it's so subtle, I'll probably die before I become what I was before you.

(Chorus)

HOW COULD YOU?

All I ever wanted to be was you.

All you ever gave me, were open wounds.

Just tell me, why? You were all I ever wanted to be. All you gave me were open wounds.

But I know that you know your mistakes, that you live down there with regrets, and hope. I still love you, I never stopped.

But, Luke Castellian, you only ever gave me, Thalia Grace, open wounds.


I'm actually really happy with the outcome! I hope you guys liked that, if you have any suggestions for a song, I'll look it up and compare to which character(s) they go best with :) Thanks for reading! More to come!
