08. A Year Without Rain
"Mom?" the 14-year-old fraternal twins called their mother, who switched her attention from her cooking "We saw the Wars on History today..." the girl started.
"Mom, is it true Dad got lost between Wars?!" the boy cut his twin, who looked scandalize.
"Charlie! We promised to be cautious!" his sister scolded him, before they start arguing.
"OK, OK, OK!" their mother cuts them "You wanna know what really happen?"
"I wanna know what happen to you! Everyone knows what happened to Dad" her daughter barged in, making her twin dissapear.
"So, girl's talk?" her mother smirked "Here's what happened..."
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
It's been three days. Three freaking days! since the all powerful, humble, selfish and biggest of all Seaweed Brain known as Perseus 'Percy' Jackson got lost, abducted, kidnapped... Who knows! I know the Gods had something to do with it...
Can you feel me
When I think about you?
With every breath I take
Every minute
No matter what I do
Can't deny I was totally frustrated when I went to get the demigods of the Grand Canyon... I was hoping Percy was there... or a clue... I was growing desperate. Everything I thought had was revolving around him... Could he even heard me?
My world is an empty place
Like I've been wandering the desert
For a thousand days (oh)
Don't know if it's a mirage
But I always see your face, baby
I practically had moved to New York when I couldn't find him... I lived with Sally and Paul, going to individual quests all around the country... My mind started to play tricks to me, seeing him in every single boy with black hair... Can't recall the amount of people I stopped, thinking it was him...
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain (oh, whoa)
Whoa, oh, whoa
When Piper, Jason and Leo came back from their quest and told me what Jason remembered, I had hope for the first time in the week and a half he's been lost...
"Annabeth?" Piper's voice called me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry, Piper..."
"It's OK... I never felt these powerful wave of emotions either..."
The stars are burning
I hear your voice in my mind (voice in my mind)
Can't you hear me calling?
My heart is yearning
Like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me, I'm falling
When we were close to the deadline to sail to Camp Jupiter, I started to get nervous... What if he didn't recognize me? What if he found someone else? What if he didn't... love me?
I dreamt of him. He was with two other demigods, heading to a place we couldn't reach... Stay put! were my only thoughts... Did I sounded needy? Clingy? Desperate? I was falling in madness... I was lovesick.
It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
Won't you save me?
There's gonna be a monsoon when you get back to me, oh, baby
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain (oh, whoa)
Whoa, oh, whoa
So let this drought come to an end
And make this desert flower again
I'm so glad you found me
Stick around me,
Baby baby baby oooh
When we reached The Senate House, my breath stopped in my lungs... He was there, looking all relaxed and... I couldn't think straight, so many thoughts at once. Won't deny I felt good flipping and threaten him. When he kissed me... Gods, I was alive again.
It's a world of wonder with you in my life
So hurry, baby, don't waste no more time
I need you here, I can't explain
But a day without you is like a year without rain (oh, whoa)
When we sailed away from the Camp, getting fired at us, all I could care wasn't the quest my mother handed to me, or the quest to Greece... All I could think of it was he was there with me... I felt happy again, everyone noticed my swing of mood and was more eager to be around me.
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain (oh, whoa)
Whoa, oh, whoa
"...and, that's what happened with me" she finished telling her daughter.
"Now I understand why you hate Hera... Gods, mom! I would had give up a long time ago..."
"No, Silena... Never give up, especially if the Gods are behind it"
"And always keep your promises" her father's voice came from behind her mother, who listen to the whole story.
"Whatever you say, Dad" his daughter replied, leaving them alone.
"You really were worry I would leave you for someone else?" he asked, sitting next to his wife of fifteen years.
"Well, your memory was wiped out and I didn't know if gained it back-" she was cut by a short kiss from him.
"Wanna know a secret?" he asked her and she nodded "She wiped my brain, not my heart" she smiled at his confession. Still after two wars, fifteen years of marriage and four kids, she would feel her knees buckle at the sight of his smile.
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
