So I had an idea for a Percabeth one-shot while I was listening to Paris by Chainsmokers.
Paris is a pretty good song, so you guys should go listen to it. Hope you enjoy!
Reminder: I don't own PJO or Paris (Because Paris was made by the Chainsmokers)
We were staying in Paris
Paris: A sentimental yearning for a reality that isn't genuine. That's where we escape to every time.
To get away from your parents
We were trying to get away from your workaholic dad and my abusive step-father
And I thought, "Wow
If I could take this in a shot right now
I don't think that we could work this out"
Sometimes our fantasies can scare us, sometimes they comfort us, most of the times they're too hard to capture. To keep forever. But you can't keep everything forever, life requires a sacrifice.
Out on the terrace
Standing on the terrace of my mom's beach house. Soaking in as much of our happiness and presence as we could.
I don't know if it's fair but I thought "How
Could I let you fall by yourself
I can't fall by myself, but neither can you. We both know we're not that strong.
While I'm wasted with someone else"
If we go down then we go down together
Your problems are mine and mine are yours. If one of us go down, we'll go down together. Even if it could take us years to get back up.
They'll say you could do anything
You'd do anything for me and I'd do anything for you.
They'll say that I was clever
I was smart choosing to be your friend in the second grade. Even our friends say so.
If we go down then we go down together
No matter the problem, we'll face the problem together.
We'll get away with everything
We'll get away from our troubles.
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
We're better than everybody else. We have each other.
We were staying in Paris
Forever lost in our fantasies.
To get away from your parents
I was getting away from my mom who's too busy and your mom who has a little bit of a problem.
You look so proud
Standing there with a frown and a cigarette
We've made some bad choices, but we got out of them.
Posting pictures of yourself on the internet
We'd try to look happy and normal on Snapchat and Instagram. But inside, we're just too different to be.
Out on the terrace
We're sitting outside, at our hide out.
We breathe in the air of this small town
Taking in our surroundings. Sucking in as much as we could.
On our own cuttin' class for the thrill of it
Getting drunk on the past we were livin' in
We were happy in the past. Sometimes we'd get stuck in our memories.
If we go down then we go down together
If our problems got the better of us, we'd go down together.
They say you could do anything
Everybody said you were invincible, that nothing could get to you. But I knew better. I knew more than them.
They say that I was clever
They said that I was smart to proclaim you as my best friend. We've been through everything together.
If we go down then we go down together
We'll go down together when our problems caught us.
We'll get away with everything
But we'll escape them together.
Let's show them we are better
Because we are. Together, we can do anything.
Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are better
When we escape our problems, that just proves that we're stronger and better that the rest of the people here.
We were staying in Paris
A state of happiness, a state of fantasies. Only for now.
Let's show them we are better
We can prove it to the others.
Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are better
We are and don't think any different, Annabeth.
If we go down then we go down together
Your problems are mine.
They'll say you could do anything
They said that you could do anything, that you were reckless.
They'll say that I was clever
But I knew more, I knew better. I knew that that was an act. That inside you were the most cautious person ever.
If we go down then we go down together
If our problems knocked us down, we'll go down together. I'll always be there for you, Annabeth.
We'll get away with everything
If we do something reckless, we're in it together. We'll face it, conquer it, and run away together. Together forever.
Let's show them we are better
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
Paris: a state of fantasy, something we imagine. Our imagination and memories take us somewhere else. Usually, we'd be stuck there for hours.
Let's show them we are better
We are. You can't deny that.
We were staying in Paris
Stuck in our little fantasies.
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
Remember that day when we took down those bullies like they were ants? Only the better of people can do that. That signifies that we are better. Because we are.
If we go down
We will, but we'll recover.
Let's show them we are better
Don't worry, even my mom thinks so. We may be running away from them, but momma thinks we are better than the rest.
If we go down
We've gone down many times.
Let's show them we are better
I'm getting a little repetitive; We are better. No different feelings about it.
If we go down
We'll get back up though, right?
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
Annabeth, we are.
Ok, so how was that?
Leave a review, either if you thought it was good or bad (Or if you have had enough of these)
See you somewhere
