SPEAK NOW
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion.
Percy Jackson, my ex-boyfriend, is getting married today. I shouldn't just barge in the church like that. That would be so rude. And I have a clean profile. Or as clean as it can be if you're a half-blood.
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl.
But I just can't help myself. Perseus Jackson, Hero of Olympus and the world shouldn't marry a snobby chick. Well, Samantha is pretty, but she is a snob a bi- I mean a good for nothing shopaholic who has different shoes for everyday of the year.
I see Thalia, Grover, Jason, Nico and other camp friends going inside the church. They are clearly not happy about Samantha and Percy.
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel.
I sneak inside the church but clearly only Thalia and her snotty family is there.
"Hey Annie" Thalia called,
"Hey" I replied
I nodded Samantha's family and noticed that the theme was pastel colors.
"Wheres Percy?" I asked everybody
"Perseus is in that car over there." Percy's mother-in-law said pointing towards a red van.
"And Samantha?"
"In the small black house down the north"
I nodded as if to say good-bye then ran towards the black house. Which wasn't hard considering that I was wearing a dress.
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry.
I heard yelling from a girl. Obviously Samantha.
I peeked inside and saw Samantha yelling at a bridesmaid.
Some thing about her flowers being 2 centimeters too low. And did I mention that she was wearing a gown shaped like a pastry?
This is surely not what you'd thought it would be.
Percy would freak out if he sees this. But no, she acts really differently when Percy's around.
I lose myself in a daydream.
I thought of a way to stop the wedding it's
Where I stand and say,
I practiced in my head what I'll say when the priest says "speak now" .
Here it goes:
Don't say yes,
Run away now.
I'll meet you when you're out
of the church at the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow.
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.
Fun gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song
that sounds like a death march
The organ plays something that sound like what we'll play during the burning of shrouds at camp.
How can they bear this? I thought to myself.
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems like I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be.
I hid in the curtains before someone could see me. I wonder why Percy didn't invite me? He was my best friend. After a few years, he didn't invite me to his wedding.
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen.
Samantha walks down the aisle like she was competing in a pageant. I figured his dad would've preferred me rather than the queen of snobs who was of course, Samantha.
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me
Don't you?
I know Percy would've. If only he saw what happened in that room...
The moment is coming. I ran through the lines a few more times.
Don't say yes,
Run away now.
I'll meet you when you're out
of the church at the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow.
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.
Don't say yes,
Run away now.
I'll meet you when you're out
of the church at the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow.
You're time is running out
and they said speak
now.
I slid down to sit which caused a few people, Thalia and Piper, to look at me.
Oooooh, la la la, oh
Oooooh, la la la, oh
Here it comes...
I hear the preacher say
"Speak Now or forever hold your peace"
There's the silence
There's my last chance
I stand up with shaky hands
All eyes on
me
I don't know why I was mind-singing. I figured it was because of the nervousness.
horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm looking at you.
I said it. Well, more like sang int while walking down the aisle.
I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy,
Who should be marrying the wrong girl.
I was near Percy now.
I placed my hand on his shoulders then continued singing.
So don't say yes,
Run away now.
I'll meet you when you're out
of the church at the back door.
Don't wait or say a single vow.
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.
And you say
Percy sang the next few lines with me. I don't know how he knew the lyrics but who cares.
Let's run away now
I'll meet you when I'm out
of my tux at the back door
Hey hey, I didn't say my vow
So glad you were around
when they said speak now.
We kissed right after the last word which caused cheering from Percy's side and protests from the snotty side.
We broke apart then I said, "I love you Seaweedbrain."
"I love you too Wise Girl." He replied
We kissed again for old time's sake.
He did the right thing all along. He didn't invite me because he knew something like this would happen.
Well, that's Percy for you.
How'd ya like it? I know all junk. I only did this 'cuz i got bored. Please review and check out my other story, Half-Blood Games.
Thanks for reading.
