Next morning...

Warm breeze wafted through the open windows of the inn, passing through the dark shadows lurking up the wall. A soft melody ricochet around the compound,coming from a pair of blue headphones on a nearby dresser, giving a sense of peace to anyone passing by. They couldn't hear the soft groans and thumps as there being drowned by the song.

suddenly A strong dusty smell of sweat and blood hung heavily in the air, as a limp body was lifted off the ground ruffly by the hair.

"Don't worry bout a thing,

'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right.

A sickening thud tore against the air as a crippled form of a boy was thrown against the shelves. Bleeding profusely, it gritted its teeth in an attempt to conceal the pain, but the large looming shadow seemed to suck out its strength.

"Don't worry about a thing,

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

"Peeeeeerrrrrccccyyyyy!..." it growled softly before landing another swift kick to the boys chest. Swallowing back a grunt, Percy curled his feet close to his ribs, coughing out blood.

"Filthy human..." the voice growled again,. A few seconds of silence followed her words, broken quickly by drips of blood hitting the ground.

Rise up this mornin',

Smiled with the risin' sun,

"What were you thinking Percy?!."she said in a low but sweet voice that let Percy know he was in trouble.,

Three little birds

Sit by my doorstep

Percy raised his head in exhaustion. Blood dripping down his forehead, blinding his vision. All he wanted right then was to go to sleep. But he knew he couldn't. And because of her Tone, Percy knew he had to act fast.

"Annabeth...what..? Last night... you... said-"

A swift kick across his crown prevented Percy from continuing further. Annabeth glared down at him, lips curling in disgust.

sweet songs

Of melodies pure and true,

("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

"Last night I was out of my mind!-"

"wait Annabeth. Percy her, ceasing her from throwing another kick across Percie's jaw.

"Don't worry 'bout a thing,

'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right."

"Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,

'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right!"

Annabeth's eyes narrowed, her heart, which was seemingly frozen cold, started warming a bit as she used all her self control not to beat the living mess outta Percy.

"Annabeth..." He whispered softly, blood still streaming down his eyes as he looked at the girl feeling helpless.

Percy got onto his knee and bowed before chanting. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! etc..."

Percy didn't know if she was listening,for her face was concealed behind her hair.

She seemed to have though, because it had been 12 seconds and he hadn't gotten another bodily injury

Turning about, She gave him a hard glare, before advancing out, and into another room. My heart skipped a beat. It has to be a trick, No way Things would turn out this way for me.

"Percy."

I stopped, I raised my eyes to see, Annabeth who was now standing in front of me.

"Lets go before my Parents come back" She said. "you can apologize later".

Thinking back on it, She was right. I saw a truck coming down the road, and by the speed they were going (And the fact that police were chasing them), I could understand her not wanting to be here When they got home.

"Here, clean yourself up" Annabeth said as she tossed me a hot dishtowel and a bandage.

--

"Hey...Annabeth where are we going?" I groaned, Putting one hand On her shoulder, "You really think I'm your 'Letting you off so easy'?" She said

" Oh and Stop touching Me," said Annabeth.

Immediately, the hand was dropped, All was silent again as A huge stage came into view.

Anna ignored the crowd. Hands ,thousands of them, In the air like wild beast and blood curdling can be heard, as a silhouette came into raised her head a bit, giving him a ruthless look.

I lowered his eye lids as a small lazy smile slipped across my lips.

"SO you came here because you wanted to see them sing"? I teased

To my suprise, she smiled back at me. "No Percy, were here to see you sing".

--

During the 5 minute break

--

"Annabeth!good to see you again! You dont call you don't write, guy could think your trying to give him the slip." The lead guittarist who's name was snake said.

There was a moment of silence before She grinned."Nah, Just havn't been in the area. Oh and this si my good friend Percy."

The way she shaid :Good friend: I knew she wanted to say something else. "Mind if he sings lead in one of your songs?"

He looked at me quizzely, Then he started feeling my muscles and throat. Needless to say, I flinched.

"Don't want me to touch you then?" he mocked, eyes glinting in mischief.

The room once again was filled with silence. But The silence was quickly broken by the man's voice.

"Sure why not, This guys got moxy! I like that." The man said. "Good" Annabeth said.

"So then young chap. What song will it be? I pride myself on knowing alot of songs." He said. "Gee I dont know... I wont go home without you by maroon 5 maybe."

Letting off a small sigh, he wiped the spit slowly from his cheek. Turning back to the girl.

Annabeth stood up, " well don't just stand there like a bloody chicken! C'mon then!"

--

"Are you ready to rock!!"

"YEA!!"

"Your up percy."

There was no laughter in his eyes anymore. No mockery in his voice, that sent a deep feeling of Anticipation in my spine.

I knew why she let me off so easily. She thought I couldn't sing and was going to embarrass me, well, me being rich has it's benefits you know, I've been taking singing lessons for years now.

"Start"

Drums started beating, piano's started playing, and I started singing.

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say
Oh
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Annabeth's eyes lit up, I could tell she was confused.

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of her breath, I'll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake
Oh
The weight of things that remain unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday

I looked over to Annabeth to see her blushing and looking away.

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

Annabeth was blushing like crazy now, but still wasn't looking at me.

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you

I said bye to snake and the gang, and walked over to Annabeth.

"What do you want...?" she asked, her glare as cold and guarded as ever. She would never let me see her break.

A slow smile replaced my lips as I stood upright again, not bothering to answer her.

A strange tension hung heavily in the room as I turned around and whispered 4 words,

"Lets go home,Annabeth."

--

Later on we were back at here Inn. "See Ya around!" Annabeth said. "Bye" I responded.

a Warm breeze caressed my cheek as a familiar tune skated back and forth through my mind.

"Don't worry bout a thing,

'Cause every little thing is gonna be all right.

The day went much better than expected, and before I knew it, I started to run on home.
