PercaBethPotter: I didn't even realize you updated this! This is great but a little cliche, don't you think? But OH MY GODS Lion King, I''m going to die, you brought back tragic memories, "dad? Dad, come on. You got to get up. We got to go home", I'm crying, but I still like this story.
Sorry, not sorry.
Now on with the story.
Percy's POV:
Ω8.18.17Ω
I woke up with a grunt as I checked the time, 11:18 am. I groaned and dug my face into my pillow.
Not even two minutes later, my phone rang.
I groaned as I picked up the phone, "Who are you and what do you want?"
"Grumpy much?"
I could hear the smirk in her voice as I answered, "What do you want, Thalia?"
"Nico and I are going somewhere, you wanna come?" she asked.
I sighed and asked, "Where?"
"Laser Tag, you wanna come?"
"Sure, why not? What time?" I asked as I got out of my bed.
"Be ready by 1, we'll pick you up." she ordered.
I nodded and then remembered she couldn't see me, "Yeah, okay."
I hung up and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
"Annabeth?" I called out after I finished and stepped out of the bathroom.
When no one answered, I decided to knock on her door. Once again, no one answered. I was going to open her door but decided against it since the last time I did that, she was changing and got mad…
I headed down the stairs, going straight for the kitchen. I took out the packaged mixture of pancakes, almost about to rip it open, but decided not to. I got out the supplies for homemade pancakes and brought out the food coloring. After stirring the mixture into the pan and making a stack for Annabeth as well as me, I sat down and deluged my delicious blue breakfast. I grabbed a post-it and wrote a note to Annabeth telling her to eat and leaving it next to her plate.
I took a quick shower and got dressed. I put on my blue shorts and grabbed the shirt I found on the floor. Still good, I thought, putting it over my head. I wore my black converse and then went to sit on the couch, waiting for Thalia and Nico.
I turned on the TV, surfing through the channels, until one caught my eye. It was TMZ, the celebrity gossip show. It was showcasing Annabeth and me heading inside my house after buying some groceries. Underneath it, it was entitled "Percy's New Girlfriend?"
You're fucking kidding, I thought.
The doorbell rang so I got up, turned off my TV, checked my pocket for my keys, wallet, and phone, and then went to the door.
"Kelp Head, open up!" Thalia yelled as she banged on the door.
"Hey Thals" I said as I opened the door to see Thalia's hands formed into a fist, ready to knock on the door once again, more like punch it until it breaks, I thought amusedly.
"Allons-y, Nico's in the car!" she exclaimed.
"Allons-what?" I asked, confused.
"I watch too much Doctor Who, don't ask…" she said as she pulled on my arm.
"Okay…" I said, locking my door.
Thalia led me to her car and I saw Nico riding shotgun.
"Sup dude?" Nico said.
"Hey, I wanted to ride shotgun." I whined.
"Sorry Justin Bieber, not today."
I wrinkled my nose, "What?"
He rolled his eyes, "How long is it gonna take to get there?"
"An hour and a half if we're lucky" Thalia answered.
"Well in that case, Percy, you can sit here, I'm gonna take a nap in the back." Nico said as he got out of the car and went to the back.
"Yay!" I exclaimed, practically jumping into the seat.
"You look like a baby on steroids." Thalia commented with an eyebrow raised.
I crossed my arms, "I'm telling my mom you called me a baby!"
Thalia cracked a smile as she said, "Idjit"
"Once again, what's up with the weird made up words?" I asked.
"Allons-y is not made up, it's French. Idjit is from Supernatural, now shut up before I punch you." Thalia answered nonchalantly yet murderously.
I swear I saw Nico muffling his laughter from the mirror as I raised my hands up in surrender.
Thalia turned on the radio and the song The Light Behind Your Eyes by My Chemical Romance.
"Change the song" I said as I reached for the radio.
Thalia slapped away my hand and said, "'House rules,' Percy. 'Driver picks the music; shotgun shuts his cakehole.'"
"You always wanted to use that quote, didn't you?" Nico asked, rolling his eyes trying hard to not smile.
"Shut up before 'I blast you so full of rock salt, you crap margaritas.'" Thalia threatened. (C-AN: I'm sorry for the endless TV show quotes. These few days had been rough on me, Supernatural isn't coming back until Jan. 20th. I have so many questions and I need answers! Ugh, asdfghjkl) (AN: Sorry, Cas went insane and is drunk on Netflix) (C-AN: "I found a liquor store and I drank it.")
So long to all my friends
Every one of them met tragic ends
With every passing day
I'd be lying if I didn't say
That I miss them all tonight
And if they only knew what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
One day I'll lose this fight
As we fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
Be strong and hold my hand
Time—it comes for us, you'll understand
We'll say goodbye today
And I'm sorry how it ends this way
If you promise not to cry
Then I'll tell you just what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I'll fail and lose this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your
Sometimes we must grow stronger and
You can be stronger when I'm gone
When I'm here, no longer
You must be stronger and
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
As the song finished, I tried not to think about Annabeth's eyes. I had noticed that the light in her eyes was gone the day she showed up on my doorsteps crying on Thanksgiving. I also saw it during the days we hung out with the rest of the gang after we forgave her, her light was gone.
Before I could think further into it, another song came on.
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving
There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound
There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win
And fear will lose
There's faith and there's sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
(Oooh) [x4]
(Oooh) [x6 & repeats in background]
And now I just sit in silence [x2]
And now I just sit
And now I just sit in silence [x3]
And now I just sit
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
I pursed my lips. A few songs later, we got to the arcade.
Ω
Long story short, Thalia won, no surprise - she tricked us… Again. Anyways, we were on our way home.
"Can we get food?" I asked as we passed SPN cafe.
"Later" she answered.
"Bitch" I muttered.
"Jerk" Thalia replied back smirking.
Nico face palmed, "Thalia, stop" (C-AN: More like me, stop. I should really stop...)
"Nico, make me" Thalia mimicked.
"I'm taking away your Netflix privileges." Nico replied.
"Son of a bitch"
Nico smirked, "I made it for you so I could take it away too."
"Son of a fucking whore" Thalia cursed as she parked in my driveway.
"Let's go" Nico said, nodding to my door.
I nodded and got out of the car.
I took out my keys and opened my door. All the lights were closed and the curtains were down making the room pitch black. I felt around for the light switch. When I found it, I flipped the lights on.
"Surprise!" the shouts made me jump.
I saw the entire living room filled with people. There was Hazel, Frank, Reyna, Piper, Jason, Leo, Paul, dad, and a bunch of other people. In the center of it all stood my mom and Annabeth.
My mom is bald now because of her cancer but she still looked beautiful. Annabeth looked just as beautiful.
"What?" I asked.
"Idiot, did you forget to check the date?" Annabeth asked with an amused eyebrow raised.
"Umm…" I took out my phone and saw the date; August 18.
I blushed as everyone started singing Happy Birthday.
"Thanks guys…" I said.
"You're welcome!" Thalia, Nico, and Annabeth exclaimed together.
I laughed as I looked over at the table full of gifts.
"You guys seriously didn't have to." I said while looking at everyone.
"But we wanted to." Hazel exclaimed.
"You seriously didn't know it was your birthday? Or are you just really good at acting, Logan?" Piper asked, bringing up the movie I starred in, Logan Lerman and the Olympians. They had also wanted me to do a sequel to it, which I am still working on.
"I forgot to check the date…" I said abashedly.
Mom smiled at me but all of a sudden, she paled.
"Mom?" I asked, my smile melting off my face.
Mom fainted and Paul gasped, "Someone, call an ambulance!"
Love us? Hate us? Sue us or fight us.
The songs were The Light Behind Your Eyes by My Chemical Romance and Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots.
Check out my other stories, the details are on my profile. Same thing for Castie-with-a-Shotgun.
Sorry about Cas and all of the references by the way, she's obsessed...
If you have any suggestions, PM me. Guys, if you have any music suggestions, PM me!
Review, spread the word, do whatever, flames will be laughed at.
Ω Yours in demigodishness and all that, peace out Ω
