Hey guys! Read my A/N at the end please. And I still have Nico!
Nico: You came back!
Me: For the story, not to save you.
*Percy mysteriously ends up next to Nico, and is also tied to a chair*
Me: Ahhh, so nice of you to join us Perseus.
Percy: *struggles to get out*
Me: Nico- the disclaimer
Nico: But I don't wanna! Percy, you do it!
Percy: Well neither do I! I don't Even know how I got here!
Nico: *whines* Come on!
Percy: Fine. *grumbles* RJ doesn't own us or the songs in this chapter.
Me: Good Little Seaweed Brain! But, someday I will own you two. (and for the flashback/dream Percy and Annabeth are 19)
Percy's P.O.V.
*Flashback/Dream*
I was nervous. Nervous, because I was finally going to propose to Annabeth. I was driving in the blue Porsche my mom and Paul had gotten me for my sixteenth birthday. We were going to l'amour (A/N I don't think that's actually a restaurant in NYC) – a VERY fancy restaurant. I was even a suit and tie. So when we pulled up to l'amour, you can imagine how nervous I was.
I got out of the car and rushed to the passenger side and helped Annabeth out. We walked into the restaurant.
"Jackson." I said to the lady at the front.
"Follow me." She said. And we did. As soon as we got to the table, I pulled Annabeth's chair out for her and she sat down. I went and sat down.
"You're being a gentleman tonight." Annabeth said to me.
"Yes. Is that an issue?" I asked her.
"Not at all." She replied.
After we had eaten, and our dessert was ordered, I started playing with box in my pocket.
"I have to tell/ask you something." We both said at once.
"You can go first Percy." She said.
"No, you can." I replied.
"Okay." She started. "Percy, we're both going to start our lives and I'm afraid that you're not going to be able to hold a really good job or that we'll never see each other because of me being an architect. So I'm sorry Percy, but it's over."
"We could make it work Annabeth." I said to her. I was heartbroken, how could she do this to me?
"I'm sorry Percy." She stood up and walked out. I went to get up and follow her but; the waiter came out with the check and our desserts.
"Can you box those up please?" I said as I handed him my card.
"Yes sir, I'll be right back." He walked away and I called Grover.
"Hey man. Did you do it?" he asked. He knew that I was going to propose to her.
"No, because she broke up with me." I told him, feeling dejected.
"She what?" He yelled.
"Yeah and can you please call her? Please Grover." I asked him.
"I'll try Perce." He said and then hung up.
The waiter came back out with two boxes and I put the dessert in the boxes and signed the check. I ran outside and into my car. I probably looked like an idiot, but I don't care, I love her. My phone rang.
"Hey, did you get ahold of her Grover?" I said as I picked up.
"Umm, dude, it's Nico." He said.
"Oh sorry I'm expecting a call from Grover." I told him.
"Yeah, I kind of figured that. So how did it go?" He asked me.
"It didn't go." I said.
"Did you chicken out? Dude, if you did I'm so kicking your butt."
"No, she dumped me."
"WHAT?" He exclaimed.
" Yeah, can you tell the rest of the guys?" I asked him.
"Yeah, if I see her, I'll … I don't know what I'll do, but I'll do something." He said.
"Alright, bye."
"Bye." He hung up.
My phone started ringing again. I checked it, it was Grover.
"So, did you find her?" I answered.
"Cutting right to the chase then? Well, yes I did find her. But, she was getting in a plane heading for San Francisco. Did you try calling her?" He asked.
"No I'm going to now." I replied.
"Bye and good luck." He said.
"Bye." I hung up and called Annabeth's phone. She wouldn't pick up and so I left five messages. Now, I don't know what to do.
*End of Flashback/Dream*
I woke up breathing heavy, like I always do after that dream. I really wish I could go back to two years ago, to that day, and proposed to Annabeth before she broke up with me. But, I remember what my mom used to say: "If you love something, you have to let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, then it wasn't yours to begin with." I forget who originally said that, I just remember the saying.
"Knock Knock,I hope your decent 'cause I'm coming in! Rise and shine lazy cousin, we're burning daylight!" Nico said, bursting into my blue and green room. Everyone seems to think that Nico would be the type of person that doesn't wake up until noon, but he's the opposite. He wakes up at, like, nine and then proceeds to get ANYONE ELESE who's in the house up too. It's really annoying, but I know he means well today, 'cause we gotta see if we can even play together as a band.
"Alright, I'm up. No need to jump on my bed." I said to him, just as he was about to.
"Good, we need you to make breakfast. I can't cook, nobody trusts Travis and Connor to make it, Malcolm won't get up and Grover…umm so anyway, can you come make us breakfast?" He asked with a puppy dog face. As if I wouldn't make them it any other way.
"Yeah." I said. "But, you didn't have to do that face, I would've made you guys it."
He snorted. "Yeah, sure. The day Clarisse apologizes to you is the day you'll voluntarily make us breakfast."
"Shut up, Nico." I told him.
"Just stating a fact. No need to blow up." He said.
"I didn't 'blow up'." I argued.
"Yeah huh!" He replied.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"SHUT UP!" Malcolm yelled. "I'll make breakfast and you two can go check on T and C."
"Fine, we will." Nico told him. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me to find the klepto brothers. They were actually not doing something bad and/or illegal when we found them. They were in the music room, playing. And soon everyone was in and we were eating on the floor, writing a song.
*Two hours, Twelve Screams and Eight Broken Drumsticks Later…*
I'm through with standing in line
To clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(So what you need?)
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[Chorus:]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla on the house)
I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[Chorus]
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser
I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
[Chorus]
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
"Dude that was some epic music!" Travis exclaimed when we finished our song.
"You guys, are awesome. Still need some practice, but awesome nonetheless." Grover said.
"It only took two hours, but we did it!" I yelled.
"Gentlemen, I think that we're on the road to greatness." Connor said.
Sorry I didn't update faster, I was on vacation. What did you guys think? Good? Bad? Terrible? Should I continue?
