Hey! So, I love broadway musicals and stuff like that and I was listening to the Phantom of the Opera and I thought of ANnabeth and Luke's realtionship. Si here's wishing you were somehow here again!
Diclaimer: ...not a guy.. so yeah
Annabeth DUH:
I was cleaning out my bunk in the Athena cabin when I came across them. Pictures. I laughed some of them. Then I got to the picture. It was picture of me and Luke. We had our arms around our each other's shoulders. This was a few weeks before the winter solstice, the solstice where he stole the bolt.I grabbed the picture and my coat and walked out the door. I made my way through the forest.
You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
Thalia was dead. Grover was hiding in shame. You were all I had. You were my everything. When you left... I didn't know what to think. My world shattered.
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here
I love Percy don't get me wrong. He's my soul mate. But you're the brother that I'll never have. I have dreams about the old days. Sometimes I wake thinking that I'll be in one of the safehouses, and I'm in my cabin. They were so real.
Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never would
Sometimes I think I here your voice then I turn around and there's nothing.
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
All that you dreamed I could
You had high hopes for me. You wanted me to be the best daughter of Athena. I saved the Athena Parthenos, is that good enough?
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental, seem for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
After the Giant War we decided to build a momerial for all the people who died in both wars. The statues were so still and dark. You were happy most of the time. This wasn't right.. I made my way to Zues's fist, to own handmade marker. A little cross with a drachema burried underneath. The marker said:
Luke Castallian
What matters is what he did in the end.
1988-2009
Aged 18
Too many years fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
I had spent my whole life trying to forget the past. I didn't cry for years. I didn't want to show my weaknesses. I knelt in front of the marker and cried.
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say, "Goodbye"
I still wish you were here alot of times. I have to let go.
Try to forgive, teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
Forgive me for letting go. Help me live without you. Help me at least...try. I need to let go. I need to live my life.
No more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say, "Goodbye"
I can't do this anymore. I have to know that you don't blame me. I have to know that you didn't love me more than a sister. I have to know. Help me. I don't want my life to be wasted. Help me say goodbye.
Help me say, "Goodbye"
I put the picture down along with a wilted rose that he had given me for my birthday so long ago. I wiped my eyes and smiled. I felt free for the first time.
"Goodbye"
I got up and walked back to my cabin. As if nothing ever happened
