Stygian. Wolf: Thank you! Sorry I didn't upload sooner. I hope you like this chapter, though!

SummerSpirit18: Thanks. I've never actually been through any of the things that Thalia's been through in Amaranth, so saying that it's full of truth means that I'm doing a good job getting into my character's head.

PJO is the best: This is going to sound very mean, but I'm glad I made you cry. That means I'm doing a good job! I promise I won't stop writing, sorry I haven't uploaded. By the way I love your pen name.

Eva3131: My stories are sad because that's how I write. I know some people don't like sad stuff, but I think if you've read nine of my song fictions you probably don't care all that much. Sorry if that sounds harsh. I hope the sadness of my writing doesn't turn you off of my stories. Thanks for reviewing.

Le tueur silencieux: I'm glad you like depressing stuff. This chapter is dedicated to you.

I don't own The Avengers.

Now I will tell you what I've done for you -
50 thousand tears I've cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won't hear me.
That son of a bitch. I tried, all right? I tried. I tried to help him. I've done so much for him. I've cried for his pain, I've screamed, I've taken the blame for him, I've bled for him. And he doesn't care. He still won't notice that I'm there.

Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I don't need him anymore. I don't need any of them. I don't need Nico to pick me up off the floor, I don't need Luke to protect me (not that he ever really did). I can save myself this time. I won't let them hurt me anymore. I thought I'd reached the bottom. But now I know I can go further.

I'm dying again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Maybe I should have expected this. Luke found me when I ran away from my mother, and I thought I would be safe with him. Then he started hitting me, and Nico found me, and I thought I would be safe again. And now he's leaving me. I'm going under, I'm drowning in my broken spirit. I won't let myself be crushed this time. I've been suffocating under the people who have hurt me, and now I have to break through the surface and soar with newly formed wings. But I'm still going under.

Blurring and stirring - the truth and the lies.
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
The reality is mixing itself up in my head. I don't know what's real anymore. I'm always getting confused now. Do I hate Nico? Or do I need him?

I'm dying again
I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
No. I know now. I don't need him anymore. I'm drowning, I'm falling, and I won't wait for Nico to catch me this time. I'll save myself. I'm leaving. For good this time.

So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away)
I don't care. He can scream at me, he can call me foul names, he can hit me. But I'm leaving. I'm too far away for him to hurt me now. I don't care anymore.

I won't be broken again (again)
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under
I'm not going to be broken this time. I was broken when Jason died, I was broken when my mother turned to drugs and alcohol, I won't break again. I can breathe on my own, I don't need someone to support me anymore. I can't keep going under.

I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
I'm going under
I'm going under
I'm leaving now. I don't know where I'll go. But I can't stay here anymore. I'm drowning in Luke, I keep falling, waiting for someone to catch me. But no one's going to this time. I'm breaking through, and I'm leaving. I am Thalia Grace. I am my own person.

This was a request from Le tueur silencieux. I feel like this isn't as good as my other ones, actually I think this might have been one of my worst. But I hope you like it, and I'm really trying to upload more often. But school is taking up a huge part of my life, and I swim and I'm part of the Latin Club (we've only got two members) as well. So I'm really sorry for not uploading for so long.

I started Health class this semester - thank God we only have to take the class once to graduate - and we read an article on nutrition last class. And I'm almost positive we used the exact same article in sixth grade. Has anyone else noticed that they teach us the exact same stuff every year? I mean I know they're trying to promote healthy eating and living, but I think if they teach us the same stuff for four years and we haven't learned it, then we probably aren't going to learn it.

Anyway, sorry again for not uploading in so long, and if anyone has any requests I'd love to hear from you.

Review!
