Friends at Birth

by Paligator

Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, ironically, born at the same time. They are split due to job problems. They meet in New York once again as teenagers who will rise up to the occasion to become demigods.

10. Jet Lag

"Why, oh why did I do that! He probably hates me now!" I thought crying to myself.

It was a week after Percy's departure. After he moved to New York. After I told him to never come to me again. After all we've been through I just... Threw him away as if we never were Friends By Birth. (A/N kingdom hearts reference... Birth by sleep xD)

I laid down on my bed, ignoring my dad's calls for me to come out of my bedroom.

"Annabeth! Please just come down to eat something!" He cried. "If Percy was here he wouldn't of want this." The last part he whispered. This just made me sob more.

I hugged my pillow hugging it as if it was Percy, wishing he would come back.

It took all my willpower to just get up and grab Percy's iPod to listen to since he's gone.

*Flashback* the day after departure.

It had been a rough day. I didn't want to see Percy after I realized what I said to my best friend who stuck with me the whole time. Scratch that. My whole life.I've been crying my eyes out, one gallon for every word He has said to me.

I guess after knowing your best friend is on the other side of the country, you just get tired and... fall asleep.

"Annabeth why?" Percy moaned with angry eyes in my dream.

"WHY?" He yelled.

I woke in fright to a quiet beep.

"My phone." I thought groggily with my hair all messed up.

It turned out to be a text message from Percy.

Dear Annabeth,

I know you're probably sulking about me not there with you. I know you're mad at yourself for saying that to me before I left. But I want u to know that even if u did say that, I'll forever miss you.

-Percy

P.S. without you here 99.9 Percent of my heart is missing.

P.S.S Special package outside for you. You know? I hope it explains how much I miss you.

I silently cried. It was probably the last sense of communication I would have from him.

I quickly walked downstairs to find my dad looking over a rich gray box. Apparently my dad was looking over it wide-eyes.

"I believe that's mine." I said my voice low.

"Sorry Annabeth it's just that this," He gestured to the box. "Happens to be delivered by the most famous mailing company. Hermes Express!"(A/N I call rights right here not hermes But the idea of it.)

"Well can I have it?" I asked impatiently.

"Yeah. Right here." He said while passin it to me.

"Holy cow... That must of cost a lot of money to be delivered in a day." I heard my dad murmur.

I walked up to my room, examining the small case. It was my favorite color. Not so light but not so dark kind of gray. (A/N just guessed)

I opened the package to find Percy's sea-green iPod next to a cd case with a note on it.

"If you get this listen to the first track."

The note said. I really didn't know why he gave me his custom made iPod.

I loaded the track onto my computer. I played it through my windows media player.

The song was called Jet Lag by the same band Percy sang from.

What time is it where you are?

I miss you more than anything

Back at home you feel so far

Waitin' for the phone to ring

It's gettin' lonely livin' upside down

I don't even wanna be in this town

Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy

You say good morning

When it's midnight

Going out of my head

Alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's driving me mad

I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

What time is it where you are?

Five more days and I'll be home

I keep your picture in my car

I hate the thought of you alone

I've been keepin' busy all the time

Just to try to keep you off my mind

Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy

You say good morning

When it's midnight

Going out of my head

Alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's drivin' me mad

I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Is so jet lagged

I miss you so bad [x5]

I wanna share your horizon

I miss you so bad

And see the same sunrising

I miss you so bad

Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me.

You say good morning

When it's midnight

Going out of my head

Alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's drivin' me mad

I miss when you say good morning

But it's midnight

Going out of my head

Alone in this bed

I wake up to your sunset

And it's drivin' me mad

I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Heart, heart, heart is so jetlagged

Is so jetlagged

Is so jetlagged

*end of flashback*

I listened to that same song everyday, every minute. That 1 song described what I'm going through.

That 1 little bridge. Those eight lines describe what I wish for (A/N here's the lyrics if you didn't look at the song.)

I miss you so bad

(I miss you so bad)

I miss you so bad

(I miss you so bad)

I miss you so bad

(I wanna share your horizon)

I miss you so bad

(And see the same sun rising)

I miss you so bad

Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me...

I kept listening to the song not knowing that Percy was singing the very song I was Singing to.

(A/N sorry AtlantaJackson I know u gave me this but I think I'm going to change it to sound more Greek.)

Then I fell asleep whispering those little words that I saw in the book.

"When the Titan Prometheus created Humans, He made us with 2 hands to feel, 2 eyes to see, 2 feet to walk, then why do we have one καρδιά? Because we were made to find its σουλματε. (A/N I CAN'T FIND A GOOD GREAK LESSON APLICATION OFF MY IPOD so I just switched English letters to Greek letters -_-)

This is just a sort of "understanding" chapter to show how they miss each other.

καρδιά well just find out what it is.

Oh one thing I forgot.

The songs I have used during my story belong to its owner, Pierre and the Simple Plan. Meaning Shut Up, I could wait forever, and Jet lag belong to them and only them. I own the little music file but I don't own the lyrics and music.

And

I DON'T OWN PERCY JACKSON. I'm only 11 actually.

(I learn a lot don't I?)

Im basically writing something in Greek but if you put the letters into English you'll make something out.

I λικε πιε

Guess what it is an English and you get a preview. You can't use google because they mean nothing in Greek because they're English words with Greek letters so like

Heart would bε ηεαρτ If u turn the letters of heart into Greek but is actually καρδιά in Greek. Ahh fantastic. I like Greek better then Italion.(Kardia so like cardio get ?

YO MOM CAN WE GET SOME FITA CHEESE
