Percy's Pov

Tears and tingles

There I was casually walking down the road when BAM, I was engulfed in a mass of blonde curls, and it turns out it was none other than Annabeth, but she had tears streaming down her face. She looked up about to apologise until she realised who it was, then she furiously, started wiping her and began to look away.

I lifted her chin and turned her face towards mine, and after one look at me she furiously began sobbing into my shirt. I held her closely and whispered comforting words into her hair trying to get her tp calm down for something, I didn't know what it was.

Once she'd eventually calmed down, I led her towards a bench on the path.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Everything." She said which surpirsed me.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean my messed up family, myself everything!" she exclaimed dratically.

"Yea I get ya, I thought that for a while a little while back, but that changed when I realised that things could get better." I said.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

I sighed. Should I tell her or should I not.

She must've saw my hesitation because she began to talk again.

"You, don't have to tell me, it's okay, sorry I asked." She said rather disappointed in herself.

"No, no it's fine I'll tell you. Basically, I had a rough childhood. My mum was married to this absolutely horrible man named Gabe Ugliano. He drank everynight and he used to sleep with other woman when she was in the house, he was disgusting, and then he got worse, he began to hit my mum. Then one day when I was at school my mum came to pick me up and my english teacher asked to speak to her, and for the first time in years , she was smiling, and from then on I knew I could make things better, so the next time I had english I went up to my english teacher and hesitantly told him of our situation at home. He listened to EVERY word I had to say, and that day he called the police and rode with me in the car to my house, and just when Gabe was about to hit my mum, with a glass bottle, we burtsed into the room, and we stopped him. He ended up going to jail, and my english teacher ended up becoming my step-father, and my life is better than ever." I said.

Annabeth looked shocked.

"Percy, I'm sorry that happened to you my problem seem meek and petty compared to yours." She said.

"No let's hear." I said.

"It's my dad." She began.

"Keep going." I motioned gently.

"When I was young I had like the picture perfect family. We were always together and I loved them so much but then one day we went to the beach and I insisted on going to the library, to get some new books, and I was soo excited, that I didn't look where I was going, and I just ran across the road, and there was a lorry coming straight towards me and my mum jumped in front of the lorry and pushed me onto the pavement, she saved my life but lost hers and ever since then my dad never cared about me as he always believed it was my fault. Then one day he met Helen (My step-mum) and part of the old him came back. He actually played with me and helped me with homework and things were going great, but then tragedy struck again, his parents died, and thats basically when none of him was left, his soul became shattered. Today he tried so hard to make it right between us, he gave me two hundred pounds for new clothes that he approved off, so I went out and bought clothes that I liked and I showed him and then he said he couldn't accept me as a daugher because I didn't follow his rules." She said while tears slowly slid down to her face.

"Wow, I guess we both have messed up pasts, huh?" I said, and I actually gained a laugh out of her, and I swear it was better than any sound I had ever heard before.

"Yeah, I guess we do." She said.

"But you have to realise that things will get better." I said.

"I think I have already began to realise." She said and then she laid her head on my shoulders.

I smiled at that it made me feel a strange unique feeling inside, but I pushed it away roughly.

"Annabeth, this song kind of reminds me you, and how you always be yourself even to your dad who doesn't approve and how you are always ready to bounce back up and try again, it's really impressive." I said.

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I saw Annabeth begin to hum along as if she recognised this song and it made me smile.

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

She sang this voice and her voice was so pure and angelic, it was unreal. It made me want to melt into a puddle right where I was.

I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We'll paint it red to fit right in
Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

At this point she was literally living in the song.

She began to add her own harmonies and they sounded soo amazing, I'm surpriised she hasn't been found and produced a hit single by now.

All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside

After the song was over Annabeth turned to me and smiled.

"Thanks Percy, you've really helped me, I don't know how I'm ever going to repay you." she said.

"You don't have to, honestly it's fine." I said.

"Thanks again, and I guess I'll see you later." She said but just before she was about to leave she turned and gave me a hug, and then she went to her motorbike and sped off around the corner, and that night I couldn't help but think of a certain blonde haired beauty.
