Annabeth's POV:

Ω10.12.15Ω

Today, I planned on going back to school and apologizing to Percy and the gang. Will they accept my apology? I thought. I ate my breakfast and shot out the door to school.

When I got to school, I started looking around. I was right on time, but I couldn't find Percy anywhere. Is he avoiding me? I thought.

I got to class and looked around frantically since Percy is supposed to be in this class with me and so is Thalia. I saw Thalia glaring at me. I got up and was about to talk to her when a guy came up to me.

"How much?" he asked.

"How much for what?"

"For you" he said smirking.

At first, I was confused. You? I thought. Then, I slapped him. "No, you bastard, I'm not for sale."

"Then what about Dean?"

This time, I punched him and ran out of the classroom, but not before seeing Thalia's glare get 10 times scarier (you do not want to see that, it's deadly).

I got to the hallways and saw some people talking.

I walked up to them and asked them if they had seen Percy.

"Why do you care, you left him, not the other way around." said-who I assume is- one of his fan girls.

"Have you seen him?" I asked getting angrier by the minute. When will people give straight answers?

"He left." replied one of Percy's friends' from the swim team- Jack.

"Left where?" I asked, my eyebrows scrunched together.

Jack shrugged, "I don't know, but he isn't in New York anymore, that's all I know."

"Wait-what?" I asked. He is not in New York? I thought, why did he leave?

Jack and his crew left without another word while I stood there dumbfounded. What? Was the only thought running through my head.

Throughout the day, I couldn't concentrate on anything. All I thought about was Percy and possible reasons he could've left. All I came up with was one word, me.

As the last bell rang, signaling us to leave, I dashed out the door and made a beeline to my house.

When I got to my house- notice how I didn't say home- I ran into my room, flopped face first onto my bed and finally let it out. I was sobbing uncontrollably and couldn't stop. I was too late. He was already gone. I thought, why does misery love me? (C-AN: If you get the reference, you are amazhang!) (AN: Even though it was me that wrote it) (C-AN: Hey, she loves that song more than me, it's probably the only song she knows from FUTCT. [Hint]) (AN: STFU, I deleted that song)(C-AN: WHAT!? Okay I am so going to murder you; you can't just delete songs made by them. [And, we'll stop now]) (AN: BACK TO THE STORY, I APOLLOGIZE FOR NOTHING!)

I turned on some music to try and calm myself down.

(C-AN: Sorry, I had to! I am such a huge fan of FOB. If you are reading this story, you should know by now that there will be all lot of songs by them. And Panic! at the Disco too.)

Don't panic

No not yet

I know I'm the one you want to forget

Cue all the love to leave my heart

It's time for me to fall apart

Now you're gone

But I'll be okay

Your hot whiskey eyes

Have fanned the flames

Maybe I'll burn a little brighter tonight

Let the fire breathe me back to life

Baby, you were my picket fence

I miss missing you now and then

Chlorine kissed summer skin

I miss missing you now and then

Sometimes before it gets better

The darkness gets bigger

The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger

Oh

We're fading fast

I miss missing you now and then

Making eyes at this husk around my heart

I see through you when we're sitting in the dark

So give me your filth

Make it rough

Let me let me trash your love

I will sing to you every day

If it will take away the pain

Oh and I've heard you got it, got it so bad

'Cause I am the best you'll never have

Baby, you were my picket fence

I miss missing you now and then

Chlorine kissed summer skin

I miss missing you now and then

Sometimes before it gets better

The darkness gets bigger

The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger

Oh

We're fading fast

I miss missing you now and then

Oh

Now and then

Now and then

Now and then

Baby, you were my picket fence

I miss missing you now and then.

I sobbed harder as the song changed.

There's gotta be another way out

I've been stuck in a cage with my doubt

I've tried forever getting out on my own.

But every time I do this my way

I get caught in the lies of the enemy

I lay my troubles down

I'm ready for you now.

Bring me out

Come and find me in the dark now

Every day by myself I'm breaking down

I don't wanna fight alone anymore

Bring me out

From the prison of my own pride

My God

I need a hope I can't deny

In the end I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own

Every little thing that I've known is everything I need to let go

You're so much bigger than the world I have made

So I surrender my soul

I'm reaching out for your hope

I lay my weapons down

I'm ready for you now.

Bring me out

Come and find me in the dark now

Every day by myself I'm breaking down

I don't wanna fight alone anymore

Bring me out

From the prison of my own pride

My God

I need a hope I can't deny

In the end I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own

I don't wanna be incomplete

I remember what you said to me

I don't have to fight alone

Bring me out

Come and find me in the dark now

Every day by myself I'm breaking down

I don't wanna fight alone anymore

Bring me out

From the prison of my own pride

My God

I need a hope I can't deny

In the end I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own

As I ran out of tears, I decided, I'm not going to school tomorrow.

One week later…

Ω10.19.15Ω

I haven't gone back to school since last Monday, and I don't plan on going back for a while. Right now my mind is still thinking about Percy and going to school wouldn't help. Looking at the gang will only make me cry even more.

(C-AN: Life lessons- NEVER EVER WATCH THE VID FOR "Build god, then we'll talk" by p!atd. NEVER DO IT. Excuse me while I clear my search history. People are searching it up, aren't they? Don't.) (AN: I have to deal with this everyday…) (C-AN: This is the last but, LIFE LESSONS! THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO'S LIFE WILL BE BETTER THAN IT ALREADY IS. DON'T DO IT THO, MY EYES ARE BURNED.) (AN: BACK TO THE STORY! I think we have ADHD)

I decided that I should get out of bed. I walked downstairs and sat on the sofa. I grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels with the radio on in the background.

He was a boy.

She was a girl.

Can I make it any more obvious?

He was a punk.

She did ballet.

What more can I say?

He wanted her.

She'd never tell.

Secretly she wanted him as well.

And all of her friends stuck up their nose.

They had a problem with his baggy clothes.

I kept changing the channel, there was nothing good on.

He was a skater boy.

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her.

She had a pretty face but her head was up in space.

She needed to come back down to earth.

Cooking? Nah. Talk shows? No way. Fashion channels? Never.

Five years from now, she sits at home feeding the baby.

She's all alone.

She turns on TV and guess who she sees?

Skater boy rockin' up MTV.

She calls up her friends.

They already know.

And they've all got tickets to see his show.

She tags along,

Stands in the crowd,

Looks up at the man that she turned down.

I settled on a music channel, showing the newest upcoming singers.

He was a skater boy.

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her.

Now he's a superstar

Slammin' on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

My jaw pretty much dropped once I saw him on the screen.

He was a skater boy.

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her.

Now he's a superstar

Slammin' on his guitar

Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The song suddenly seemed a lot louder.

Sorry, girl, but you missed out.

Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now.

We are more than just good friends.

This is how the story ends.

Too bad that you couldn't see...

See that man that boy could be.

There is more than meets the eye,

I see the soul that is inside.

No! He's mine! I thought as the song went on.

He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl.

Can I make it any more obvious?

We are in love.

Haven't you heard how we rock each other's world?

I felt a tear slide down my cheek as I saw Percy talking to the host- Jade Adams.

I'm with the skater boy.

I said, "See ya later, boy."

I'll be backstage after the show.

I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote

About a girl you used to know.

Jade was obviously flirting with Percy. Percy looked a bit uncomfortable. At that point, I wanted to murder Jade. I have no right to be jealous. I thought, I cheated on him.

I'm with the skater boy.

I said, "See ya later, boy."

I'll be backstage after the show.

I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote

About a girl you used to know.

I turned off the radio as the song finished. I turned up the volume of my TV.

"And now we have Percy Jackson's newest single, Numbers" exclaimed Jade.

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.

Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.

So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.

Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

I've been too many places. I've seen too many faces.

I wrote too many pages; never found a love like you. (Love like you)

I don't know how to say it. It's been more than amazing.

My whole life, I've been waiting; never found a love like you. (Love like you)

Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Live, die next to me.

Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Sleep, dream.

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.

Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.

So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.

Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

You were unexpected, when our lips connected.

I was resurrected; never found a love like you. (love like you)

Don't care where I'm headed when the world is ending.

'cause you are my heaven; never found a love like you. (Love like you)

Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Live, die next to me.

Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Sleep, dream.

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.

Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.

So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.

Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

Surrounded by numbers.

(Numbers, numbers, numbers)

You're the only one.

(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)

You brought me back to life.

You did the unthinkable.

Yeah, you are my miracle.

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.

Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.

So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.

Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

Surrounded by numbers.

(Numbers, numbers, numbers)

You're the only one.

(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)

You're the only one.

Surrounded by numbers.

(Numbers, numbers, numbers)

You're the only one.

(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)

You're the only one.

His voice is so sexy, I thought. That song was beautiful. I wish it was about me… I hope it was.

"Damn, no wonder you got popular so fast. You are a god Percy!" exclaimed Jade as the audience roared with applause and cheering.

As the audience quieted down, Jade asked, "so is there a certain somebody that song was for?"

Percy blushed. "M-maybe" he stuttered.

Jade asked again, "Come on, tell us who the special person is."

"I'm good" Percy squeaked out.

"Is it me?" Jade asked teasingly.

"Yes" replied Percy seriously. People who don't know him won't know he's joking. I did know him; there was this mischievous glint in his eye whenever he jokes around. I miss him, I thought.

"Really?" Jade asked, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Nah," Percy chuckled. "I just met you…"

"Oh…" Jade looked disappointed. How could someone write a song for you without knowing you exist? I wondered.

"So are you ever going to tell us who the mystery girl is?" asked Jade.

Percy shook his head, "probably not."

Jade sighed, "Alright, I guess. So you got popular pretty fast. You're already #1 on many charts, how's it feel?"

Percy looked around at the crowd, "Really? #1 already?" he asked in disbelief.

"You didn't know?"

Percy shook his head, "I don't really pay attention to that stuff; I only focus on my music."

"Well, you're #1, right in front of Taylor Swift, who had #1 throughout the month. You stole the spot in less than a week, wow!"

Percy was shocked, his eyes wide. "No way! I guess I'm feeling surprised and shocked.

"Is she gonna write a song about me now that I have her spot? Or is that only for ex's?" Percy asked jokingly.

"Maybe" replied Jade.

Percy chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck, "I do like Taylor Swift's music, it's really an honor to beat her…"

"As much as I hate to say this, but we have to wrap this up. I do hope to see you again, Percy." said Jade- what looked- genuinely.

I turned off the TV, grabbed a couch pillow, and pressed it to my face. I let out a muffled scream.

I took a deep breath, and then got up to throw out the trash. I haven't left my house at all since I last went to school. I saw some of Percy's fan girls from school walking past my house. I heard snippets of their conversation.

"Wow, did you see Jade flirting with Percy?" asked idiot #1.

"Yeah, like, I can't believe he, like, became #1 so, like, fast!" exclaimed idiot #2. Stating the obvious much? I thought.

"Oh mah gawd, I swear, that song was totally about me!" said idiot #3, obnoxiously chewing her gum.

I rolled my eyes at the last one as their voices faded into an echo. I looked around, I was alone again.

I sighed, I went back inside. I'm still not going back to school for a while, I thought.


Just Annabeth for today! I really need some inspiration.

The songs were Miss Missing You by Fall Out Boy, On My Own by Ashes Remain, Skater Boy by Avril Lavigne, and Numbers by The Cab.

PaP is a huge fan of FOB which is why there will be a lot of those songs like Miss Missing You. The Cab has many relatable songs, especially for this story, so expect more from them. If you can guess which song "why does misery love me" is from, you get a cookie. (::)

PaP is also a huge T Swift fan so...

GET READY FOR MANY TERRIBLE PUNS AND A LOT OF STUPID RANDOMNESS!

Also, if you think these AN's are bad, you should see the stories before I edit them, since we use Google Drive share and work on them together. Compared to that, this is nothing!

If you have any suggestions, PM me. Guys, if you have any music suggestions, plzzz PM me! Also, if you like a song and think it's pretty good, can you send me the title? I need some more good songs for my playlist, THANKS!

Review, spread the word, do whatever, flames will be laughed at.
