Chapter 2 Dionysus's Bar
Percy PO
"And now The Gods performing Counting Stars by One Republic!" Dionysus voice said through the speakers. My band and I walked on stage. I took a deep breath and they began to play and I began to sing.
Lately I been, I been losing sleep,
Dreaming about the things that we could be,
But baby I been, I been prayin' hard,
Said no more counting dollars,
We'll be counting stars,
Yeah we"ll be counting stars
I see this life,
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line,
In my face is flashing signs,
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old but I'm not that old
Young but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
Im just doin' what we're told
I feel something so right
By doin the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doin the right thing
I couldn't lie couldn't lie couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes my feel alive
Lately I been I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Lately I been I been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be we'll be counting stars
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old but I'm not that old
Young but I'm not that bold
And i don't think the world is sold
Im just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie couldn't lie couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately I been I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Lately I been I been praying hard
Said no more counting money
We'll be we'll be counting stars
Oh Oh Oh
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons I learned x4
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately I been I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the thing that we could be
Lately I been I been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons I learned
When I was done I was breathing hard. I had a lopsided grin plastered on my face. I took a small bow and walked off stage with by band mates.
"Nice job Percy," Nico said.
"Thanks," I told him. We walked out to the bar and sat at a booth in the back. Nico went to go get some food. While we were waiting for Nico to come back Rachel and her posse walked up to our booth. She was wearing the tiniest skirt I'd ever seen and and a spaghetti strap tank top that went way to low. "Good job Percy," she said, "I was wondering-" I interrupted her and said, "Not interested Rachel, Goodbye." She huffed and walked away. "I wonder what the next band is?" Jason wondered aloud. "There is only 2 minutes until the next band," I said looking at my watch, "You won't have to wait long to find out." Nico came back with the food after I finished talking. We ate for a couple minutes and then Dionysus's voice came back on the speakers, "And now the band Good Girls performing Let It Go by Idina Menzel," every one clapped and 6 girls walked on stage wearing all white. They sat in back with their instruments and the lights quickly dimmed around them so they were no longer visible. Another girl walked on stage. She was wearing a black cloak so you couldn't see her at all. And then she started to sing. Her voice wrapped it's self around my heart and wouldn't let go.
Snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
Kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldnt keep it in heaven know I've tried
Don't let them in don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal don't feel don't let them know
Well now they know
She threw of the cloak revealing a long white strapless dress. I was staring. Not like the other guys they were staring at her body. I stared at her long blonde hair that fell in princess curls and her stormy grey eyes. I couldn't believe someone could look so good without putting on make-up on. Wait! What am I thinking? Am I falling in- stop thinking like that. She's probably stuck up like the rest of them.
Let it go let it go
Cant hold it back anymore
Let it go let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
Its funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
The fears that once controlled me
Cant get to me at all
Its time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right no wrong no rules for me
Im free
Let it go let go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in froze fractalls all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
Im never going back
The past is in the past
Let it go let it go
When I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
She walked off stage as did the rest of the girls. Wow! That was awesome!
Nico turned to us and said, "Wow."
