OMG! I CANT BELIEVE NOBODY THOUGHT OF THIS! This morning, I woke up and pulled out my iPod, like always, and hit shuffle. It went to Taylor Swift's song, Mine. So it got to that part where it says: "Do you remember we were sitting out by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time." So I'm thinking ! *gasps for air* Okay, that's pretty much my morning. Hope you enjoy it! (Well of course you will, it's about Percabeth.)
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or Taylor Swift. Though I really hate disclaimers because I doubt anybody on FanFiction can mistake my work for Rick Riordan's.
Annabeth's POV
Percy Jackson is a complete traitor! I can't believe I ever went out with him! I can't-Why? Why would he want to go to some stupid college in Manhattan? And I don't care if that's where he lives. He PROMISED ME he would stay near me because of my scholarship to Stanford. Yeah, well we all know that he's got too much kelp and minnows and seaweed corroded up in his head to get to Stanford, but he can at least stay close! I grabbed my iPod and breathed in, breathed out. Breathe in, breathed out. Breathed in, stick ear buds in my ear, breathe out. Even though it was 2:25 in the morning, I remarkably hit the shuffle button. First song: Raise Your Glass, by P!nk. No, it would only make my night more stressful if I had Percy AND beer on my mind. Song two: Love the Way You Lie, by Eminem. That fits my situation, so I decided to listen to it.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hit me back
But that's alright because I love the way you lie love the way you lie.
Now to Eminem's part, I thought.
I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight As long as the room feels right it's like I'm in a fight
High off of love, drunk from my hate-
Okay, next song. It's not that it didn't fit my situation or anything, it's just that I wasn't in the mood for Eminem song because there so loud. I was slightly in the mood to relax. Song Three: Rhythm of Love, by Plain White Tees. Love their music, but no. Song Four: Firework, by Katy Perry. If I listen to a song about fireworks, I was going to start crying again. After all, that's where it all happened at. Song Five: Mine, by Taylor Swift. I let my mind go blank and gave it up to the music.
You were in college working part time waiting tables
left a small town never looked back
I was a flight risk with the fear of falling
wondering why we bought it with love if it never last
I say, can you believe it? As were lying on the couch,
Percy's 16th birthday, I remembered. I was trying to relate to this song as much as I could just to make me feel better. But to this song I didn't have to think about it. This reminded me of when we were sitting on the bench of the Poseidon Table eating a blue cake with our fingers.
The moment I can see it, yes, yes,
I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting out by the water,
Yes. On Percy's birthday.
You put your arm around me for the first time
The underwater kiss! And for the first time.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
Oh, well that fits, now doesn't it?
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
Yes, there just happens to be one.
You learn by secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded,
You say we'll never make my parent's mistakes
I think our parents are an….ah….special exception.
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take, yes, yes
This is what I thought about
"Well maybe that's what I should be thinking about," I mumbled. This whole fighting thing, was it really worth it?
Do you remember we were sitting out by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Ha! More like, "You made a girly girl of a careless man's careful daughter"
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
The music started to get faster and more interesting at this part.
And I remember that fight
Two thirty am
I hit the pause button. Ooooo-kay is this thing, like, stalking my life? It's not normal having a fight at two thirty am, yet that's what was going on at my night at fireworks AND in Taylor's song. My night at Fireworks had been almost perfect.
Almost.
Until he brought up that stupid subject of "College". He says, "!"
Being his girlfriend for two years and best friend for six, I understood him perfectly fine. "Where at?"
"NYU." I felt my smile break in half and bend the wrong way.
"What? I thought you agreed we would stay in San Francisco near me and Stanford!"
He looked like he just made a big mistake and desperately needed to cover it up, like my stepmom might do on a regular basis.
"What? Annabeth, you know I could never get into any college in San Francisco! That's like Gaea going to Elysium. Big chance, like a vote of hundred percent, right?
I gave him a harsh look ready to go on more, but he shocked me too much. I stormed back to my cabin when the fireworks were only halfway over. The sky lit up gray with gloom. I yelled back to Percy, "Don't ever talk to me again!" even though I couldn't breathe without him. Though as stubbornly loyal as he is, he followed me and to this second he's sitting on the Cabin Six porch, waiting. After reflecting all of that, I hit the play button.
'cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran home cryin and you followed me out into the street
This guy reminded me so much of Percy.
Brace myself for the goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
As angry as I was at him, he really loved me. Percy was known to mess things up. It was in his nature. Deep down, I really wished he were here in this room.
You say, I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
she is the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it? Hold on, Make it last
Hold on, Never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it? Hold-on,
Gonna make it last, Hold-on,
And I can see it, yes, yes,
I can see it now,
see it now,
see it now
The song ended slowly with an instrument I couldn't name. I sighed and put the iPod down. The door of the Athena Cabin creaked open. Malcolm walked in.
"Annabeth, somebody wants to talk to you," he said as he frowned at the person outside. He was probably disapproving of the way that person treated me earlier.
I sighed. "Bring him in." Seaweed Brain walked in and his eyes were filled with guilt. Knowing him he was probably making plans to drown himself. I stared at him through the darkness of the cabin and I felt my lip pout out like a baby. I slowly rose off the bed and walked over to him and enveloped him in a large, comforting hug.
"It's not worth the fighting," I choked out while sobbing. "I love you and nothing will come between us, especially not school." I felt a hot tear roll down my cheek and when it hit his shoulder he stayed dry.
"Annabeth, I'm so sorry, But… school? You're right. It's not worth it. I missed a whole bunch of that when I thought my dad was Neptune. We'll still see each other on holidays and during the summer. I love you. I'm sorry I made you so upset tonight. I love you."
I looked up into his beautiful green eyes. Right now they were tinted with tiny blue flecks. "Percy, you are the best thing that's ever been mine." We leaned in for the kiss.
(A/N.2) pwetty pwease weview! I wrote what happened in between without thinking about the song, so I was happy when it went along so well. IF YOU LOVE THE SONG "MINE" THEN REVIEW THIS: 3 TS's MINE! Love it, hate it, rate it. If I didn't get the lyrics on a song right then I'm sorry, I just guessed. ICE CREAM TO ALL WHO REVIEW!BOOING TOMATOES TO ALL WHO DON'T!
