I don't own Percy Jackson or My Heart Is Broken.
My Heart Is Broken by Evanescence
I will wander 'till the end of time
Torn away from you
I close my eyes, lying on the bed face up. I've been drifting lately, drifting through the day, going through the motions of life. Of course it doesn't matter. Only Annabeth will have noticed. No one else cares about me.
Annabeth tells me that's not true. She tells me that everyone cares. But I know it's not true. The only other person who ever cared is gone. And I'm going to drift for the rest of my life without him. There's no point anymore.
I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
Over the fear that I will never find a way
To heal my soul
And I will wander 'till the end of time
Torn away from you
She opens the door. "Thalia, what are you doing?" she asks. I don't answer her, just open my eyes and stare at the ceiling. The white ceiling. "Thalia," she says, stepping forward and taking the razor out of my hand.
I turn to look at her. "Give it back." My voice is a whisper. I've been crying.
"No way in hell."
I sit up. "We're already there."
She shakes her head. "Thalia, I'm not going to let you hurt yourself. Do you think Nico would have wanted this?"
I squeeze my eyes closed. I wasn't going to hurt myself. "I'm not going to hurt myself."
"Really? Then what do you plan to do with this?" She holds up the razor.
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
From sorrow's hold
Over my heart
Sleep. Sweet sleep. I was just going to sleep. Because I can't keep going like this. But I know I can't go back to the way things were. I know I can't get him back. I can't keep drifting, half alive.
I can't go on living this way
But I can't go back the way I came
Chained to this fear
That I will never find a way
To heal my soul
And I will wander 'till the end of time
Half alive without you
I open my eyes and stand, tears falling like ice cold rain. "I was just going to sleep."
A look of confusion crosses her face, then realization dawns. She steps foreward. "Thalia, you can't."
"Why." It's a question, but I don't want her to answer. I don't want her to tell me that people need me, or that Nico wouldn't have wanted this.
She just looks at me, somehow knowing this. She drops the razor and pulls me into a hug. "Thalia..." She sounds like she's going to cry. I don't want her to cry. "We all miss Nico. But if he were standing here, do you think he would want you to kill yourself for him?"
If Nico was standing here, we wouldn't be in this mess. But I pretend to understand, and I go along with her. She asks me to see a counselor. I agree. She makes me stay with her for the week.
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
Change
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long
Oh so long
Say goodbye, goodbye
But even the counseling doesn't help. I still can't hold on. My heart is still broken.
When Annabeth walked into the bathroom, the first thing she saw was the blood. The small rivers of blood on the floor. Then she saw her friend, lying on her back on the bathroom floor. The rivers came from Thalia's wrists. Annabeth felt the tears trickling down her face, mixing with Thalia's.
There was a piece of paper on the bathroom floor, next to Thalia's hand.
My heart is broken
Release me
I can't hold on
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold
I'm planning to make this a collection of song fictions. I'm not trying to sound like people who say "I won't upload unless I get this many reviews". But I'm not going to continue if people don't like this one.
