Disclaimer-I dont own any but the story and the song Percy and Annabeth wrote
Chapter 11
Annabeth's POV
Today was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky. Jason was able to book our first concert ever, after the competition. People wanted to hear us sing. We're going to practice for the concert in Madison Square Garden.
I ran downstairs to have breakfast. My mother was sitting at the table, with some French toast in front of her. She was getting ready for work.
"Morning mother."
"Morning Annabeth. I made some French toast for breakfast."
"Ok, thanks mother."
I grabbed a fork, sat down, and started eating.
"Bye Annabeth!"
"Bye mother."
She left. I grabbed the book I was reading yesterday and flipped to the page I was on.
One hour later, the doorbell rang. I immediately knew who it was, Percy. I ran to open the door. There he was.
"Hey Annabeth."
"Hi Percy."
"Let's get going."
"Ok."
We ran to the car and hopped in. Percy started driving to camp. We were so happy, because of last night's news. Percy and I were destined to marry. Not only because we loved each other, we would help the economy through this marriage.
As soon as we got out of the car, the others called us over. Percy and I ran to them. We were greeted with hugs. Jason called a meeting.
"Hey guys! Meeting!" he shouted.
We all ran inside and sat on the couches. Jason was telling us about the concert we'll be singing at.
"Since our concert is at Madison Square Garden, it's a huge space. We might to shout to be heard. There will be microphones so we have to be loud, but not shout. We should discuss songs and dances. Anyone got an idea?" Jason asked.
Travis raised his hand, "We could do the chicken dance!" he said.
"Oh yeah man!" Leo joined in.
The two boys were dancing and singing so off-key, that it made us laugh. We were all laughing so hard, my stomach hurt. They finished their dance.
"Any other ideas?" Jason asked again.
"How about 'Chained to the rhythm'?" Piper asked.
"Ok that's one." Jason told the group.
I suddenly had an idea. We could write our own songs!
"Guys, let's write our own songs!" I said.
"Annabeth, that's brilliant!" Percy exclaimed and kissed me.
Everyone else nodded and said, "Yeah. Let's do it!"
"Ok, let's get to work. Well have two people writing these songs. The same two that were assigned a duet together." Jason said.
"Yay!" everyone yelled.
Percy and I ran to the room we practiced in. We came up with some lyrics.
We walked through the storm together.
I won't leave you ever.
You've helped me grow strong
Make me feel like I belong.
I'm falling in love with you.
Our hope for us is true
We've been through so much together
I'll be by your side forever.
All I need is you.
I will never be blue.
The clouds will part.
I'll hold in my heart.
I'm falling in love with you.
Our hope for us is true
We've been through so much together
I'll be by your side forever.
You're the one for me
My destiny
When you hold me in your arms and kiss me
I know
I'm falling in love with you.
Our hope for us is true
We've been through so much together
I'll be by your side forever.
Oh, I'm falling in love with you.
Our hope for us is true
We've been through so much together
I'll be by your side forever.
Falling in love
Just falling
For you.
I'll be by your side forever
That song was perfect. It described me, and us. We walked out and showed our song to everyone. It was perfect. They loved it. Then, Percy came over to me.
"Annabeth, let's go on a picnic."
"Sure Percy, where?"
"I'll take you there."
I follow Percy. We ran towards the beach. He set up a picnic in the sand. I gasped.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
"Yes! I love it. It's perfect." I said.
We sat down and ate the blue cupcake he brought with our fingers. He leaned over and kissed me. His guitar was in his hands. Then, it hit me. This was where he asked me to be her girlfriend. I smiled. Percy played and began singing my favorite song.
Wise men say
only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes,
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand
My whole life too
Cause I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes,
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand
My whole life too
Cause I can't help falling in love with you
Cause I can't help falling in love with you
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
When he finished, I was standing up. He got down on one knee. My eyes were filling with tears of joy. He grabbed my hand.
"Annabeth, from the moment I met you, I knew there was something special about you. When I heard your voice, I fell in love. So now," Percy took out a small box, "Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?"
"Yes, yes. A thousand yeses!" I kissed him.
He slid the ring on my finger. We ran back to Camp. When everyone asked why we looked so happy, I showed them my left hand. They all gasped and hugged Percy and I.
"Great job, Perce. You finally found the courage." the boys said.
"Annabeth! I'm so happy for you!" all the girls shrieked. Expect Clarisse. She patted me on the back. Which, coming from her, was a huge gesture.
Percy drove me home that night and kissed me. I ran upstairs and changed into my pjs. I sat on my bed, staring at my ring. I was going to marry, Percy Jackson, the love of my life.
Author's Note- I LOVED this chapter. So sweet and romantic. 3 In Ch. 4, do you remember Percy and Annabeth's duet? If you can answer why my cousin and I chose the song, then you get a special shoutout. Leave reviews to answer the question! Love you all!
