I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. If I did, Rick Riordan wouldn't be famous and I wouldn't be writing this song-fic. I don't own Boulevard of Broken Dreams either. Green Day owns the awesome song. (Has Thalia heard of it?) First attempt at song-fic. I wanted to have the lyrics match what he's doing/thinking, in a way.
AN: I didn't bother to fix the one cuss word in the song I hope it doesn't bother you. And if it does, please don't comment saying that it's there. I did warn you. And this is rated T for some swearing.
Song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams – Green Day
Summary: Luke takes a stroll down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Slight Thuke. Might be OOC.
I walk a lonely rode
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me and I walk alone
Luke Castellan is known as the traitor, a Benedict Arnold, the enemy. Every night, in his dreams he sees the place known as the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Every night he walks it. He's never seen the end to it and he hasn't seen anyone or anything walk this street and he's come to accept that. He walks alone.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
I'm the only one and I walk alone
At times, when he looks hard, he can see the skyline of New York City. He knows not a lot of people will be awake at three in the morning. He just keeps on walking. He's walking alone, on the strangely cold summer night, in the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I will someone out there will find me
'Till then I walk alone
Luke stares at his shadow and wonders 'why does it follow me?' He shakes the thoughts off of his mind as the silence swallows up the city. His steady heartbeat tells him he's still the only one. Luke does wish that Thalia would find him and forgive him, but she hasn't and he knows she won't. He still walks alone.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
He missed those old days where he and Thalia would just run together and fight off monsters. Those thoughts never came out of his mind. He hates his divided mind.
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
He's never dug deep into his divided mind, until he stepped into the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Luke has only known that his mind is divided into two parts. The part where most things are fucked up, and the part where everything is okay. Sometimes when he walks this street he thinks, 'damn, am I dead or something? Why am I at this place?'
Sometimes I wish someone will find me
'Till then I walk alone
Luke still waits for Thalia to forgive him. He still waits for the moment to check on her. He waits hours for his memories to bring him back to the old days. He hates checking on those monsters set out to destroy the camp and the Hunters. Screw Kronos for all the bullshit Luke has been feeling. Luke did not choose this life, Kronos forced him. He won't ever be the same, not after walking the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Yes, he's still walking alone. He's still walking on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Well, I don't think this was my best. Honestly, I did this in a rush, to test out what I can do and some ideas. No flames please. If you do have some ideas on how to make it better or any idea on a one-shot I could do, please comment or PM me.
I would like some ideas how to add to this story (if I want to redo it) so please give me some ideas on how to make this longer and most importantly better!
Carrie.
