I've had so many suggestions for this song! But this is for RandomlyRawr, she suggested first and I know she's reading! :)
And to Taylor Swift Fan, I really hope you're reading this, because you didn't log in so I can't PM you. I listened to Madelyn's song, and I really liked it. Unfortunately, I shouldn't put it in here because it's not by Taylor Swift, but I do have an idea to get Madelyn noticed and for more people to hear her. I might even be able to get her on the radio. Please, if you have an account, PM me! Or if you don't, make one! I'm really excited about this. (:
I am open to song ideas.
DISCLAIMER: Rick Riordan owns Annabeth and Percy but Taylor Swift owns Love Story. I am just the genius that combined them. XD
Chapter Four- Love Story by Taylor Swift
WHO: Annabeth (about Percy) WHEN: Anytime in the books
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
We were twelve. When I helped nurse him better after he passed out, I never would've thought that I would fall in love with him. I would stand on the balcony of the Big House, wondering if he was the one. Not the one as in love, but the one as in "child of the big three". A little less romantic.
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
He found me, all those times when we were little. Percy just couldn't stop asking about our world, what the prophecy was about, who he was, etc. At the time I found it annoying, but now I realize it's more than that.
You were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
My Dad and Mom both said no to Percy. My father warmed up faster, of course, but I have a feeling that Athena will never completely be there. I would just have to live with it.
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes"
I'd always hated those cheesy love stories. The ones where some spoiled girl falls in love with a too-cute-to-be-real boy, blah blah blah. But now that I'm part of one, I know how they feel. I know that giddy love feeling. There's something about falling blindly into love that's universal. Percy is a prince (literally), and, well, I'm no princess, but whatever. He can make me feel as good as one.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
I've lost track of how many times I snuck out to his cabin in the middle of the night. We always went to his, because, well, his was empty, and mine was full. The harpies could eat us, but it didn't matter. It was worth it. I could always count on him to help me escape the chaos of life.
[ Lyrics from: lyrics/t/taylor_swift/love_ ]
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they're tryin' to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby just say yes
Sometimes I would go too deep, too far away from myself, and I'd get afraid. He was always there to help me through it and understood what I was feeling. I can't thank him enough.
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Percy was so stupid. I had liked him for months, probably a year. I was dropping hints everywhere, but he was oblivious as always. There were days where I didn't know if he would ever come around, and I thought about giving up.
"Romeo, save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring"
On his birthday, the day of the war, I made him a cupcake. (Well, sort of. Tyson helped, and it didn't look much like a cupcake) I was dead set on telling him how I feel, even if it meant shaking his shoulders and screaming "I like you, Percy!" for him to understand. But I didn't have to: he beat me too it. Like I said, I didn't make it easy for him. And when I kissed him, I knew it was totally worth the wait.
And said, "Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say yes"
I wanted to be with him forever. It was stupid, I felt stupid and needy doing it, but I always imagined our future wedding. We would make it that far, I was sure of it.
Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
What did you think? Is it what yall expected?
I promise to try to do everyone's suggestions, so keep them coming!
