A/N: This story is pretty much a companion to Spacebound, a great song by Eminem. Our fave PJO couples fall in love, therefore letting someone in. But everyone knows Teenage Sweethearts almost never last. Relationships are tested, fall apart, and tragedy strikes. This is not your average 'love story'. I know I should update Epic Fail, but this popped into my head, and I just had to write it! Please visit my profile to view other stories, vote on my poll, and more! Read, Review, and Enjoy! =)
I do not own PJO. Geez.
Love is a funny thing.
Love can change you in ways you never imagined.
One day, you could wake up, look in the mirror, and see a girl with frizzy blonde hair and cloudy blue eyes staring back at you. Then love happens. And when you look in the mirror again, you see a sleek-haired, blonde, gorgeous girl with sparkling, crystal eyes. Plus, yesterday's zit is no longer noticeable.
Love can confuse you in ways you've never experienced.
One morning, you'll wake up a cold, stony person, who has no mercy and practically no venerable emotions. Then love comes along. Suddenly, your snuggling, cuddling, and the emotions wash over you as if a floodgate has opened. Thoughts of him make you smile.
Love can give you emotions you've never known before.
When you wake up, you're smooth, cocky, and good with the ladies. You're super-slick and cool, the most wanted guy around. Then love strikes. You see this one girl, this girl who is immune to your flirtatious attempts, who doesn't cake on makeup, who makes your head itch and palms sweat. You approach her, and draw up a blank, coming across as a full-blown idiot.
Love can make you do things you've never done or dared to do before.
One day, you're cowering behind bushes, avoiding all danger, and just being your skittish self. Then love comes into your life. And when it does, you find yourself standing up for yourself and what you love, taking risks, and being courageous. For her.
Love can change the way you view everything.
One moment, you're doing everything in order, not really questioning anything at all. Then suddenly, you find yourself staring love-struck at your best friend, breaking rules, and ultimately stepping outside the box. You're….anti-you, sorta.
Yes, love is a truly funny thing.
It's also a mysterious thing.
Because, when the one you love is gone, you look in the mirror and see an ugly version of you. You grow emotionless again. You're confident, flirty, and a player again. You're cowering from everything. And you step back into the box, and become just a regular, typical, kid again.
But love gives you something, each time you fall into it. Something you'll carry with you forever, even after love leaves, fading away.
But you'll never guess what.
A/N: This isn't your typical story, and I promise this story won't be all sappy and stuff like this prologue. Thanks for reading! Please review! =)
