A/N~ Too many song choices. Sorry I forgot to update. Hopefully this'll make up for it.
"Mom. Reyna has to go first."
"Sure." Venus teleported up on stage. "Attention, everyone! Please welcome to the stage... Reyna!"
I mount the steps. "Thank you, lady Venus. I would like to invite Calypso onto the stage. There's no need for that screen." I added to Apollo. The screen disappeared.
"Why?" Calypso calls from her seat next to Leo.
"We're going to have a riff off. The category is anything goes." I said as she walks up and climbs on stage.
She looks at me for a long while before speaking: "I start."
One day I was sitting in class
Got a note saying watch your back
Someone told me who it was from
She wasn't happy because she just got dumped
It was over but not in her mind
It's not my fault he left her behind
I always knew they had a history
I didn't know it included me
She wasn't ready to let him go
Now I'm dealing with a psycho
My boyfriend's ex girlfriend
I think she's going off the deep end
She loves him, she hates me
They broke up now she wants to blame me-
I cut her off with one of the many songs Annabeth had suggested.
-me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa, but
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha
She looks at life like it's-
I saw her stepping closer and opening her mouth. I could tell she'd cut me off.
-It's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go
X-girlfriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know?
You gotta let him go
Let him go
Let him go
Hey x-girlfriend
It's too bad when you had him
Y'all thing didn't work
But he's all mine now
So stop pursuing him
Before you-
I smirk as I step forward, knowing the perfect song already.
-you want all of her love
She's a maneater, make you buy cars, make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all
And when she walks she walks with passion
When she talks she talks like she can handle it
When she asks for something boy she means it
Even if you never ever see it
Everybody get your neck to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
You doing anything to keep her by your side
Because she says she love you love you-
When she begins to sing she looks like evil personified.
-you somethin'
Let me tell you somethin'
Your man he told me
That he's tired of the shit you got
He took one hit
And said my good shit keeps him coming back
He likes it tight
And said your shit is just a little slack
Girl, don't get mad at me
I'm only telling you the fact
I've got your man
And you can't do anything about it
You may think he is coming back to you
But I doubt it
Don't make no sense you even call him
And try to work out it
'Cause I've got your man
And you can't do anything about it
That's it.
"Shut the fuck up!" I yell, shoving her.
"Aww, is ickle Reyna sad?" She asks in a mocking voice. I don't answer. "Is it because I'm happy and you're not? Or is it because of what I know?"
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I'm a titan. Never forget that. I know all about those pirates. What they did to you. Poor little Reyna." She shuts her eyes, smiling perversely. "Only a child when they took you from Circe's island. And a beautiful child at that. Just like your sister. They loved to torture you, didn't they? Night after night. That's what those scars on your wrists are from. You struggled against the ropes trying to break them. But you couldn't. You were weak."
"I said shut up." I hiss.
"You needed your big sister there to protect you. But she left you. What are you going to do now? No Hylla. No Jason. No one." She taunts.
I run. Cursing her. Cursing myself. It's not in a Roman's nature to run. Or a praetor's. And all this does is prove a point. But I was running like my life depended on it. I never actually saw anyone's faces as she talked, but I knew how they'd look. The camp medic gave me the look when I arrived at Camp Jupiter. I couldn't be there when they found out.
Before I knew it I had run to Bunker Nine. Feeling myself well up I stood in front of the door for a long time. I heard someone calling my name. They can't see me like this. I take out the keycard Leo had made for me so I could visit him while he was working and buzzed myself in.
I run straight over to Leo's station and curl up in his chair, bawling my eyes out over everything. Blackbeard, Leo, Calypso. I was done.
I hear the door open and curl further into myself, hiding my face with my hair that fell out of it's braid I-don't-know-when.
I hear a voice behind me. "Reyna?" I turn.
"Leo?"
