A/N: I think I had too much caffeine. Updating twice in one day is not normal for me. Anyway, to your second review, OrangeFace99, if you're talking about the book, that's actually ChocolateIsMyDoom's One-sided, so if you want to review about it, review on the actual story, not this. Thank you.
Percy groaned as Nico begged for the umpteenth time. "PLEAAAAASSSSE." "Ugh, fine." "Yay! Wait...what's the book about?" He face palmed. "It's about girls who liked me." Nico raised an eyebrow. "Really? Who was the guy who sent you this." He asked. "Some guy name Tony, okay? Whatever! Just start from chapter three."
Nico grabbed the book and sat down. He cleared his throat and began to read.
Bianca
Nico immediately widened his eyes and stared at Percy. Percy gaped. Nico dropped the book and immediately ran to the bathroom. Puking sounds were heard. When he came out, his face was green. "You...read..." Percy hesitantly grabbed the book as Nico sat down.
You are just a mere demigod.
Of course, you don't know this yet, you only know that the guy who is saving you from the big, bad, monster is plain hot –and crazy.
Percy tried to protest, but Nico silenced him.
You feel free around him, like he's the pure image of rest. You want that, you want that feeling of being care-free. Having a little brother to care for… well, it makes it difficult.
"And gross." He murmurs.
But, when you see him staring at that other girl, the one who he likes just so much, you feel like you've got no chance with him.
Then she falls to her death.
"Hey! She didn't die!" Percy protested. "That was her POV, man."
You wish that you could be sad, that you could be troubled by not being sad, but you are quickly captured by that determination in his eyes, the way he'd never doubt a second to sacrifice himself for others. The way he seemed to understand you.
When you see the hunters, you quickly change your mind.
Nico scowled and looked away. Percy sighed sadly.
They are immortal. They are the best. They are care-free. He is looking for her.
It hurts you so much to disappoint him, hurts you so much to accept it, when you know you are already in love. Twelve and in love, you stupid girl. But the heart doesn't care about that, and you feel like you are going to say no. And then you are going to kiss him, his beautiful lips that look so kissable.
Nico turned green again.
But then you see the desperation in his eyes, and you slowly realize he is never gonna love you, not when she is still alive.
You accept, and it almost kills you to see how he looks at you, as if thinking 'You are lost to me'
Nevertheless, you find a home with the hunters, and you quickly forget about him, or so you think.
You live at Camp Half-Blood for a while, and you're happy, but then the quest comes along.
You are beyond honored when you are asked to go, but also sad, because you have to try rescue her.
You pull yourself together, prepare yourself for this quest. Then, the night you're supposed to go, Phoebe can't.
You have a sneaking suspicion someone else will accompany you.
Your suspicion proves to be right, when he comes along.
When you first see his black hair, his beautiful green eyes… you quickly felt the blessing of Artemis leaving you, so you convinced yourself you didn't love him, though it wasn't true.
Nico widened his eyes.
He saved you all, and you can't help think 'That's my hero'.
You mentally scold yourself for even thinking about him a bit, and you kill with rage that strange skeleton warrior. He looks at you, fascinated, and you can feel yourself giving in so quickly. But no, you are a hunter, you will not let him get to you this easily.
So, when he smiles at you, you feel that he is so far away, that you can't reach him.
It scares you.
You were never really serious, he knew that, right? He knew you were just a hunter to play hard-to-get. He knew…
But as you watch him look out the window, eyes desperately searching for her, you know he didn't.
Finally, you discover the truth: he doesn't love you. He only smiles at you for Nico, he never even thought of you romantically.
You suppress a sob.
So yes, when you actually turn on a machine that is giant and can kill people, you think , How can I fix things with him, someday?.
That's when you realize.
Oh.
" If anything happens, give that to Nico. Tell him…tell him I'm sorry."
"Bianca, no!"
Even as you run quickly to save all of them, you wonder if he got it. Tell him I'm sorry. That was meant for him too, for making the wrong choices. Already, you could feel you love taking Artemi's blessing away, so fast it was incredible.
When you go into the metal machine, you are fully mortal and not a hunter.
Your last thought was: Lucky Annabeth.
Silence.
…
In Hades, they ask you again: "Do you really, really wish to be reborn?"
Doubt takes hold of you. You want to wait for him here, so that you won't change, but the memory of his respect and possible friendship in his eyes is so strong… you want to live to see it again. And maybe, just maybe, you will find him one day, and remember your love for him.
So you say "Of course. To a better life."
Percy shut the book and stared at Nico. A sudden flash appeared in the cabin.
Tony was there in all his glory and Nico jumped up. "Woah!" Percy snarled at him. "What are you doing here?" He grinned. "Since Nico is here, I wanted to come here to see your reactions too!" Nico stared at him. "Perce, you know this guy?" Percy nodded. "The guy who gave me the book."
Nico lunged at him but he sidestepped. "I could have gone through my life easier without knowing that my sister loves my best friend!" He scowls. "I know you two are mad at me, but somebody is eavesdropping." He waved his hand and the door opened.
Jason was standing there, staring wide eyed at the three.
-A few minutes later-
"And that's how we got this book." Percy finished explaining. "That's cool and all, but...can I read with you guys?" Percy groaned but Nico and Tony grinned. "Of course!" They said in sync.
"Fine, you read the next chapter." Percy threw the book at him. He caught it and cleared his throat.
Drew
Percy raised an eyebrow and Nico snickered
You're the bad guy.
Of course, that's not true. You're not a guy, but still, the meaning is the same. You are the one people roll their eyes when talking about, "Drew? Yeah, she's an annoying freak."
Even so, you have a reason to be an annoying freak. You're a daughter of Aphrodite that everyone considered weak. You remember…
"Who are you?" you asked, scared and beautiful in the moonlight, just after being with Daniel the satyr.
The boy with the black hair answered "Percy Jackson, and you?"
He was your age, probably, 13 or 14, and had such beautiful sea-green eyes… they were incredible. And you were known for appreciating beauty.
"Kiss me"you said, because everybody had the tendency to do what you said.
Percy looked confused for a moment, as in every time you enchanted someone, and leaned to kiss you.
But he didn't, he instead takes your bat that you carry to defend yourself and laughs "Yeah right. Sorry, but I didn't catch your name, kiss girl"
You blushed a deep shade of red and answered "Drew"
Percy nodded, "Daughter of Aphrodite" he said.
You grabbed his arm "Is it all true? Do the gods really exist?"
He looked at you for one moment too long, and you pressed your lips to his.
Fire exploded all round you. This was kissing. How had you lived without this.
But Percy Jackson pulled away as soon as you made contact "What the hell? You're a daughter of Aphrodite, all right."
He smiled weakly. "I remember that."
And he leaved, leaving you standing in front of a pine tree, your satyr running towards a house.
If the gods exist, you thought, then I'm part god. If I'm part god, I have powers. Could it be that that ability to bend to your will was a power? You would practice. Get him. Make him fall in love with you. Yes, that was it. Love was power.
You became a different person with power. You easily ordered everyone in your cabin around. You had more close attempts at building a relationship between you and Percy, but he was by far too stubborn to crumble at your feet.
So, you start being even more mean, frustrated by his rejection in a way impossible to describe.
Then, the war starts.
First, you're as scared as hell, and you don't think you're going to survive this. But then you see him , proud and fearless, with his plans and his innocent mind.
"Exquisite" you murmur and you long for his lips on yours.
Then the war comes.
It's not unexpected, but it still takes you by surprise. And it takes you completely off guard when he goes to war, to fight for you.
Jason and Nico started to burst out laughing and Tony made a small smile and a chuckle. Percy pouted.
Of course, that's not true, but you chose to ignore that last detail.
It feels like heaven when you survive, and when you know he does too.
You approach him at the campfire, and you surprise both him and yourself by kissing him.
He's so startled, so surprised, that he pulls away two seconds after you know you've got him. Which is, two seconds after the kiss is started.
But, somehow, you know this time is different. His lips taste different. They are still fire and explosions and they still make your heart race, but they are like…used.
"What do you think you're doing, Drew?" he asks, wiping his mouth quickly
"Who did you kiss?" you ask, eagerly
He frowns "You have absolutely no right –"
"Who did you kiss?"
"Annabeth" he gives in, like enchanted by your voice
Slowly and painfully, your heart brakes. Pieces slowly disintegrating and leaving you heart-less.
They all became silent.
"Well" you say "I bet you liked my kiss better."
"I have no idea why you're like this, Drew, but I like Annabeth"
"Helllo?" the blonde demigod says, "Percy?"
His name on her lips sounds wrong to you, so full of love and longing. You should be the one that gets to kiss him and love him and hug him and…
"I'm coming Wise Girl, Drew here, was just telling me to tell Will that he's a great archer" he jokes and kisses her cheek. They both go to their cabins, and you're alone.
His lie takes you by surprise. You had thought he would have turned you in to his powerful girlfriend. But no, it's as if… he actually likes you.
The possibility, as false as the love you think you see in his eyes, starts sounding better and better to you, and you slowly think you've got him. Finally.
You spend weeks plotting your final step on the plan that is now called, 'How to get Percy Jackson'. Slowly, even your siblings hate you, and soon you are all alone, only one bright burning thought on your mind. Get him. GET HIM!
Then, he goes missing.
It's horrible, to say in the least, but you're not even disturbed.
Surely, this is a trick, so that he can run away with you. Surely, this is so that you can be together without Annabeth bothering you.
One month passes, and he still hasn't come to you.
It's alright, he'll be here soon enough, you tell yourself, and, just to prove that you're right, you try to make him jealous by being more and more seductive to Piper's boyfriend.
Jason grimaced.
Two months and he still hasn't kissed you.
You still feel the ghost of his lips on yours, but it's slowly fading. You can't have that. He loves you, you tell yourself. He'll come.
He doesn't. Not in three months.
Or four.
Or five.
Or six.
Or seven.
Or eight.
On month nine, Camp Half-Blood receives a call. He is fine. He is with Annabeth.
You cry out in despair, and your cabin mates come to you, to help you. But they don't know. In two sentences, your whole life and dreams, are ruined.
Of course, you enter a coma.
"She's not well" you once hear say Chiron "but, why?"
You hear a girls voice. Oh, yes, the oracle who has no sense of fashion "Perseus." But her voice doesn't sound right.
You wake up two months later.
You are alive, and your siblings cry and hug you, even though you know you don't deserve it.
You talk to Percy all the time, and that makes you happy. You ignore it when you're answering him , and somebody says softly "Drew, who are you talking to?"
"Honey, it's Percy" you say once you're tired
"There's nobody there"
This first bothers you, but you feel him with you.
And you fall, slowly but without a cure, into insanity.
Jason closed the book and they all went into a deep silence.
A/N: I might post later, I don't know. Anyway, au revoir.
