Chapter 3: Chance of a Lifetime
JASON'S P.O.V.
The adrenalin was pumping through Jason's veins. Percy, Frank, Nico, Leo, and Jason were about to go on stage. Every week they got to perform a new song in front of the school. It was a deal they had with their music teacher. They got to practice and use the instruments and music room as much as they liked, as long as they performed. The girls in Olympic Harmony originally had this deal until they got their big break. The demigods -the name of the boys band- got the deal when they left. They were all hoping they got the same tour opportunity.
This week they were performing a song that they had started writing after the girls left. It was unfinished until recently. After they had finished eating at the diner almost a week ago, they had the perfect ending. The song was titled "Mercy".
The principle quieted the students and introduced the band. Same thing as every week. The boys raced up to their places on stage and got ready while Percy talked to the crowd. On Jason's way up the principle stopped him and whispered "I hope your good. I got a band manager here to see the band."
Jason swallowed and quickly thanked the principle. His throat was a lot dryer now. He hurried on stage and got set up. "Good afternoon everyone!" Percy said into the microphone.
The crowd began to cheer. Jason loved that sound, but it didn't stop him from being any less nervous. "We have recently wrote a song for you guys that we think you will love" Percy announced.
The band began playing the music and Percy got ready to sing.
"You've got a hold of me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around ya
Show me an open door
Then you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore
I'm saying baby
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
I'd drive through the night
Just to be near you baby
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy
I'm not asking for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
My pride is all I got
I'm saying baby
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your strings
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Oh, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
(on my heart)
I'm begging you, begging you please baby
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
(on my heart)
Oh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, yeah."
The crowd cheered louder than they ever had. All the boys had smiles so wide as they went up to bow. The cheers continued for another good two minutes. The boys left the stage proud as ever. Backstage there was someone that called them over. "Hello boys, or should I say Demigods." The man said.
Jason knew right away that it was the band manager. "Hello sir." Jason said as he reached out to shake his hand. The other boys looked really confused. "I apologize for not introducing myself" the man said. "I am Mr. D, and I believe that you boys are ready to go on tour."
