(Jason's POV)

We all gathered around the recording studio table. Piper was already geared with her writing pad.

"Okay," Annabeth declared, her voice oozing business. "Piper, how many songs do we have in our album right now?"

Piper flipped through her writing pad. "Umm… We have Centuries, My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark, Young Volcanoes… erm…Top of the World, Ready, Aim, Fire, Radioactive, It's Time… When the Darkness Comes, Animals, Bleeding Out, and… See You Again." She took a deep breath and looked up.

Annabeth gave her a blank face. "So… how many are that?"

She blushed. "Oh. Uh," She scanned the pages and muttered numbers under her breath as she went. "We have 12."

The blonde nodded. "Mr. Dean gave me a call earlier today and told me that we needed at least 15, since this album is like, super big."

Percy groaned and slumped down in his seat. "Do you have any ideas for some, guys?"

We all looked at each other around the table. I noticed that Annabeth gulped and paled a little.

Whatever that meant.

"Ooh! I have an idea!" Hazel gushed.

We turned to look at her. She blushed deeply.

"Okay, so I wrote this song a while back. But I think I remember most of it. Piper, write this down," She nodded at my girlfriend.

Piper flipped to a fresh page and nodded at Hazel to show her she was ready.

On Top of the World (by Imagine Dragons):

If you love somebody,

Better tell them while they're here 'cause

They may just run away from you.

You'll never know quite when, well

Then again it just depends on

How long of time is left for you

I've had the highest mountains

I've had the deepest rivers

You can have it all

But life keeps moving

I take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay

I'm on top of the world, 'ay

Waiting on this for awhile now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, 'ay

Been holding it in for a while, 'ay

Take you with me if I can

Been dreaming of this since a child

I'm on top of the world.

I've tried to cut these corners

Try to take the easy way out

I kept on falling short of something

I coulda gave up then but

Then again I couldn't have cause

I've traveled all this way for something

I take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay

I'm on top of the world, 'ay

Waiting on this for awhile now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, 'ay

Been holding it in for a while, 'ay

Take you with me if I can

Been dreaming of this since a child

I'm on top of the world.

Ohh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh (2x)

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay

I'm on top of the world, 'ay

Waiting on this for awhile now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, 'ay

Been holding it in for a while, 'ay

Take you with me if I can

Been dreaming of this since a child

And I know it's hard when you're falling down

And it's a long way up when you hit the ground

Get up now, get up, get up now

And I know it's hard when you're falling down

And it's a long way up when you hit the ground

Get up now, get up, get up now

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay

I'm on top of the world, 'ay

Waiting on this for awhile now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, 'ay

Been holding it in for a while, 'ay

Take you with me if I can

Been dreaming of this since a child

I'm on top of the world.

We all stared at her in stunned silence.

Hazel eased one of her eyes open and gave us a peek. Her golden eyes' pupil shrunk instantly and she blushed.

She opened both eyes and rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Yeah, um… that's it. Did you get all of that, Piper?"

The half Cherokee nodded and her sun kissed face split into a grin. "Hazel, that was amazing!"

Percy agreed with her. "I think we just found our soloist for that song!"

We all gave her a round of applause and Hazel blushed. Frank leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek and she blushed harder.

Percy leaned back in his chair and grinned. "That just gave me inspiration for a song."

"Well then take it away, Seaweed Brain."

"That's a pretty good song, Percy. A little bit dark, but pretty good." Annabeth patted her boyfriend on the shoulder, though her voice wobbled a little, as if she were guilty of something.

Percy didn't seem to noticed as he puffed up his chest and stuck his chin in the air. "Why thank you, my dear love."

Maybe I was going delirious?

Whatever, we had more pressing matters than Annabeth's apparent small paranoia of new songs.

"Let's go record this song now along with Hazel's song and send it to Mr. Dean." I suggested.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

How Far We've Come (by Matchbox 20):

Bold = Percy, Italics = Jason, Bold Italics = Frank,Normal = Everyone

Hello

Waking up at the start of the end of the world,

But it's feeling just like every other morning before

Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone…

The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour

And I started staring at the passengers who're waving

goodbye

Can you tell me what was ever special about me all this time?

I believe the world is burning to the ground

Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

I believe it all is coming to an end

Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know

I can't remember caring for an hour or so

Started crying and I couldn't stop myself

Starting running but there's no where to run to

I sat down on the street took a look at myself

Said where you going man

You know this world is headed for hell

Say your goodbyes if you've got someone to say goodbye to

I believe the world is burning to the ground

Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

I believe it all is coming to an end

Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

(Frank)

It's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone

There's no one on the corner and there's no one at home

It was cool cool, it was just all cool

Now it's over for me and it's over for you

(Leo and Frank)

Well it's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone

There's no one on the corner and there's no one at home

Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool

Now it's over for me and it's over for you

I believe the world is burning to the ground

Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out

Let's see how far we've come

I believe it all is coming to an end

Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend

Let's see how far we've come

Mr. Dean's dark eyebrows rose up as he finished listening to the song. We fearfully and impatiently awaited his verdict.

"The first one, I love." He finally admitted.

Our chests heaved as we sighed in relief.

"Why do I feel like there's a big fat but coming after this?" Percy frowned. "Okay, that sounded wrong. So very wrong."

Annabeth looked like she wanted to impale her forehead with a butter knife, but settled for face palming and dragging her hand down her face.

Mr. Dean leaned back in his chair. "But… the second one is sort of… I don't know… dark? It's half inspirational and half dark. Who came up with it anyway?"

We all pointed at Percy, who turned red right down to the collar of his shirt.

"Yeah, um, sorry. It's just that… I don't know; I felt like that song would be needed soon. I don't know. I just feel like something bad is going to happen soon. Something big." He scratched the back of his neck.

Since I was standing right next to her, I heard Annabeth quietly gasp.

I turned to my right and saw that all the color had drained from her face. "Annabeth? Are you okay?" I asked.

Everyone turned to the blonde. She didn't answer me and gripped the edge of the bookshelf that was sitting right next to her.

"Annabeth?" Percy asked, concerned, as he took a wary step towards his girlfriend.

She swallowed and turned to Piper. "Do you have your writing pad with you?"

Piper threw her a curious look but nodded before reaching into her Hermes bag (A/N: See what I did there? LOL, I'm so fun-nay. Haha. No. Never mind. Just carry on and pretend that you never saw this. Erase it from your mind. ERASE IT.) and pulled out her writing pad. She handed it to Annabeth.

Annabeth's fingers trembled as she flipped to the back of the mini notebook. I saw that the last three pages had scribbled writing on them, a song a guess. But why would Annabeth know about them and not Piper?

Annabeth tore the pages out and took a deep breath. She gave the writing pad back to Piper and quickly scanned the pages. When she finally looked up, her gray eyes looked almost black and she bit her lip.

"This is a song I wrote after the concert we had just before we moved." She handed the three little papers to Mr. Dean.

When our manager's eyebrows flew towards the ceiling as he read the song, Annabeth hurried to explain.

"Before I read it, I was thinking about Camp Half Blood, and about-"Her voice wobbled and she took another deep breath. "-About all of my friends that died in the past few years. Those thoughts sort of triggered something in me and I just started writing. I didn't think about what I was jotting down on the pages, I just wrote. I only realized what I was writing after I was done with the song, and I read it in my head.

"And just like Percy said, I felt like something bad would happen, and that I would need the song for whatever reason. And I hated that, but for some reason, I never got rid of the song." She finished.

We were all stunned into silence, not sure of what to say.

Mr. Dean cleared his throat and looked at Annabeth. "Do you have this song and the melody memorized?"

She nodded.

He leaned back in his chair. "I want to hear it."

Her jaw fell open. "Right here?"

"Right here."

"Right now?"

"Right now."

Annabeth nodded. "Alright then. Here goes…"

Nothing Left To Say (by Imagine Dragons):

Who knows how long

I've been awake now

The shadows on my wall don't sleep

They keep calling me

Beckoning…

Who knows what's right

The lines keep getting thinner

My age has never made me wise

But I keep pushing on and on and on and on

There's nothing left to say now… (2x)

I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now… (2x)

There's nothing left to say now… (2x)

I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now… (2x)

Below my soul

I feel an engine

Collapsing as it sees the pain

If I could only shut it out (shut it out)

I've come too far

To see the end now

Even if my way is wrong

I keep pushing on and on and on and on

There's nothing left to say now… (2x)

I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now… (2x)

There's nothing left to say now… (2x)

I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now… (2x)

I keep falling, I keep falling down…

Hey!

I keep falling, I keep falling down…

If you could only save me

I'm drowning in the waters of my soul

There's nothing left to say now… (2x)

I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now (2x)

There's nothing left to say now… (2x)

I'm giving up, giving up, hey, hey, giving up now… (2x)

Annabeth finished the last note by drawing it out, getting softer and softer until you couldn't hear her voice anymore.

She cleared her throat and looked at Mr. Dean. "So, what do you think?"

He opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the door banging open.

All of our eyes turned to the woman who had hurried into the room, a fearful and shocked expression frozen on her face. Her auburn hair was tied back in a high bun, and she was wearing a wine colored A-line skirt, a white blouse, and wine colored platform patent leather pumps (don't ask me how I know this junk- my girlfriend's mother is a beauty and fashion guru; you learn stuff).

It was the secretary, Angelica Winterson.

"Angelica, what the fuck are you doing?" Mr. Dean asked, his voice cold.

She ignored the question. "Turn on the news."

"Why?"

"Just turn it on. You guys need to see this." Her eyes slid over to Hazel briefly before they flickered back to the TV.

"Angelica-"

She ignored her boss, grabbed the remote, and turned the TV on.

For some reason, the channel was already set to the news.

Angelica turned the volume up and set the remote down before resorting to chewing on her lips. She gestured for us to watch too.

I rolled my eyes and turned towards the screen.

The TV showed the regular anchor man and woman whose names will forever remain unknown since I never remember them. The bottom caption read in big blaring words: BREAKING NEWS: UNIDENTIFIED TEENAGER RAN OVER BY LINCOLN TOWN CAR ON MANHATTAN AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

"Okay, I get it that that's a tragic occurrence, but seriously, Angelica, we're sort of busy-"

"Shut up and watch, Benjamin." Angelica shushed him.

He scowled at her and turned back to the TV.

"That's right folks; a mere two hours ago, a young teenaged boy was run over by a town car in New York City. It turns out that the driver ran a pedestrian walk and hit the boy. Injuries include 3 broken ribs on the left side, 4 crushed ribs on the right, a twisted knee, and a dislocated shoulder. Medics are saying that a lung may have even collapsed." The honey wheat haired woman said gravely.

"That's horrible!" Hazel gasped.

Annabeth peered at the TV screen suspiciously through narrowed eyes. Her gray orbs flickered back and forth between Hazel, Angelica, and the TV, trying to figure what was going on before it was revealed.

I swear; that girl spends too much time binge watching Sherlock on Netflix.

"Here's the only picture we have of the young man at the moment." The man gestured to the right corner of the screen.

The picture zoomed in to reveal a bloody and cut face. I studied his face while the anchorwoman went on and on explaining in explicit detail about the poor guy's injuries.

His skin was halfway between milk white pale and light olive. His hair was long and black, looking softer than silk. His eyes were closed, so I couldn't tell the iris color, but I did make out a fringe of long, thick, and dark eyelashes that stretched out from the eyelids.

Hazel gasped again and made a choking sound. "Is that…?" She trailed off and her eyes glossed over with unshed tears.

I peered closer at the picture to see that the boy had pink lips, and his cheeks were tinted red. Huge dark circles rested under his closed eyes.

When the realization of who it was dawned on me, I felt like a black hole was unnaturally slowly sucking in my stomach and heart, turning the organs into dust.

The picture zoomed back out to reveal the anchor man and woman shaking their heads sadly.

"And the doctors have just sent in that it seems this boy is a relative of world famous band member, Hazel Levesque." The man said, riffling through the small stack of papers that was sitting before him.

All of us gasped while Hazel choked back a sob and buried her face in Frank's chest.

"Do we have a name, Frederick?" The woman asked, sipping whatever drink was sitting in her mug.

"Yes we do, Lillian. Turns out that this boy's name is Nico di Angelo. He's in a very critical condition and it seems like there's a 40% chance of him making out of that hospital alive. We'll give more news after the break."

The screen went black as the room was dead silent except for Hazel's tortured cries.

Annabeth's song lyrics flashed through my mind, announcing their presence, making themselves known.

There's nothing left to say now…

Oh how true those 5 words were.

Annabeth and Percy were afraid that they would need those songs in the near future.

It terrifies me how much fears can become reality.

Author's Note:

You all most likely hate me now.

But please do not murder me in my sleep.

I beg of thee! I plead thou!

You guys are probably planning my assassination as of now, but before you track me down, shoot me with a sniper, send my house up in flames with a grenade, and toss my corpse into Lake Ontario, I can assure you, this will all make sense very soon.

Now, having that said and done (and hopefully you dear lovelies will listen), it's time for announcements!

So, I was reading reviews, and this one guest reviewed on chapter 16. Turns out, I made her cry over Octavian (and she said that she barely cries), and that within itself was a big no-no. Apparently, I'm a miracle worker for having her do so.

Can I just say: I love you guys to freaking death, Elysium, Olympus, and back?

Thanks so much for the support and everything! I love reading your reviews, and thank you Guest for your special review that had me smiling like a maniac.

And speaking of reviews…

CAN YOU FRIGGIN BELIEVE IT? WE GOT ONE HUNDRED+ REVIEWS! OMG! OMG! OMG! THANK YOU GUYS SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! I CAN'T EVEN RIGHT NOW. WE'RE ONLY ON CHAPTER 21 (nowhere near halfway through this story) AND ALREADY 100+ REVIEWS!

JUST… AUUUGHGHG! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Alright, the scream fest is over, you can uncover your ears now.

But yeah, thank you guys so much! I would be NOTHINGwithout you all, supporting, reading, reviewing, following, and favoriting along the way.

When I first started this story, I thought I would reach chapter 20 and then end it, but now, I never want to finish.

If you guys want, I can try to aim for at least 40 chappies. It will be hard, but for you guys, it will so be worth it.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I mentioned this in the A/N at the beginning of the chapter, but if you didn't read it and you don't want to scroll back up to read it, just sit tight and continue reading this one.

So, I made a Wattpad account a few months ago, and just recently I posted my first romance novel: The Waitress and the Heir. I would really appreciate it if you guys could go check it out. It only has 8 views at the moment and I sort of want to get discovered. Chapter 1 came out on Monday, and Chapter 2 comes out next Monday. Comment what you think of the story on Wattpad. Thanks to those who do!
