Make Believe? Chapter 8: TALENT SHOW!, a percy jackson and the olympians fanfic

Sorry I know it's horrible I'm just going to get it over with. Look up song Bliss by hinder.

P.S its Erin's POV

Erin POV:

We were still up on Olympus waiting for Michaela to wake up. When Aphrodite popped in I was really surprised. I sat there and looked dumb until she decided to put me out of my misery.

"Child you can stop staring its getting a little annoying." she stated. "you will host a talent show and you will make Travis have an act in it" she glared at me. I stood my ground and said

"What's in it for me huh," she shyed and looked at me.

"I will stop meddling with your friend Tana's love life but I cannot do much more than that I have rules to you know." She said.

I just nodded and we shook hands she poofed us in to the throne room. I was desperately trying not to hack up a lung because of all the perfume. My 'dad' rushed over to me and yelled at Aphrodite.

"Don't you know she has asthma you could have seriously hurt her,"

I just pushed out of his arms and into my friends waiting arms. They held me and asked Posiden to poof us back down to earth. My father had a wounded look on his face as he saw me leave in a cloud of blue green smoke.

When we were back at camp I asked do "do you want to help me create a talent show I kind of haft to and I also have to have Travis do an act." They nodded their affirmation. I went to the Hermes cabin rite as I was about to open the door a very angry looking Katie stormed out and yelled over her shoulder "I don't want to ever talk to you again do you hear me NEVER". I was shocked to say the least. I walked into the cabin to see that everyone else had already left and the only person in there was Travis. He had his head in his hand and was shaking saying "why, why, why did I haft to do it why,"

I went and sat next to him. He said "Go away Connor I'm not in the mood."

I said "well then I'm pretty Shure I'm not a guy and I don't look like you" he looked up at me shocked.

"Erin what are you doing in here." I smiled "I'm here to cheer you up and to convince you to have an act in the talent show"

"He smiled at me and said Shure as long as I get to steal Percy Nico and my brother away from you girls" I smiled that was easier than I thought it was going to be. "That might be hard but I will help with whatever I can. He smiled and hugged me I said bye and went to go find Percy, Nico, and Connor. Percy was making out with Anabeth on the shore I burned him with my power he yelped and started to look around for me I just smiled and stepped out of my hiding spot.

"Sorry Anabeth but I need to steal Percy it's for the talent show" she laughed and said go ahead and laughed even more at the look on Percy's face.

"Now to go find Nico." Percy looked at me weirdly and said "why am I here again?" I smacked his arm and said "shhhh it's top secret we also need to get Connor which will be really hard" he nodded. I looked in Nico's cabin and found him and tana laying down and talking to each other. I smiled to myself. I coughed really loud to get their attention they jumped three feet in the air. "I need to barrow Nico for a while is that ok Tana" she just nodded and smirked. She knew were this was going I just don't know how. " I hand cuffed them together then took out another pair and handcuffed it to my belt that way they couldn't run when they figured out where we were going. " to the Dionysus cabin." They looked confused until they figured out who was in there at the moment. Their eyes got huge and they tried to run. I just kept walking not at all affected by it. When we finally reached it they gave up and Nico said "dang that chick is strong." I said thank you. I walked in to see Michaela and Connor making out on her bed. I walked up to them and yelled hey rely loud in Michaela's ear. She screamed and bolted up rite in her moment of shock I handcuffed Connor to my growing entourage of boys. I wisped the plan in her ear and she nodded. She said "have fun" then I walked out the door with the boy's trailing behind me. When I got to the Hermes cabin I knocked on the door Travis opened it and said let me get my camera. I stepped back and onto the pathway he came out and started taking pictures I laughed when all the others campers started to crowd around Chiron even came over to see what it was about. He out rite laughed when he saw three buff guys handcuffed to a petite little girl some of the campers even videotaped me dragging them around camp and Percy and Nico's failed escape plan.

It was the night of the talent show and Travis hadn't even told me what song he was doing. I was rely nervous Travis was the first act he came up to me and gave me his I pod and said play track five I put it on everyone looked at him Percy, Nico, and Connor. I cued the music and Connor and Nico started.

(Chorus Nico and Connor) bold is Travis. Percy plays drums, Connor guitar, Nico Bass, Travis sings.

"Bliss (I Don't Wanna Know)"

(I don't wanna know)

I'll go ahead and pour myself a drink

I really couldn't care less what you think

Well I don't have to listen now

Live this day down

If I can't feel a thing

You might as well save your goodbyes

We can give this train wreck one last ride

I'm gonna have to listen now

Live this day down

If I don't make things right

I'll tell you one last time

I don't wanna know it's over

So save your goodbye kiss

I don't wanna know it's over

Cause ignorance is bliss

I can hardly see

What's in front of me

Cause the vodka's running on empty

I can't stay sober

If it's over

(I don't wanna know)

So save your goodbye kiss

(I don't wanna know)

I woke up with my heartbeat in my head

I reached for the bottle by the bed

I saw your side was not slept in

Cold sheets again

Remind me of what you said

We need to take a break for a while

It's been so long since I smiled

I don't wanna listen now

Live this day down

With you so drunk and high

So I'll say goodbye

I don't wanna know it's over

So save your goodbye kiss

I don't want to know it's over

Cause ignorance is bliss

I can hardly see

What's in front of me

Cause the vodka's running on empty

I can't stay sober

If it's over

I don't wanna know it's over

So save your goodbye kiss

I don't wanna know it's over

Cause ignorance is bliss

Now I know I can't stay sober

Cause you left me here like this

I don't wanna know

(I don't wanna know)

So save your goodbye kiss

(I don't wanna know)

Cause ignorance is bliss

I can hardly see

What's in front of me

Cause the vodka's running on empty

I can't stay sober

If it's over

I don't wanna know

If it's over

I don't wanna know.

When I looked out at the crowd all I saw was shock. Shock and sadness. Katie had tears in her eyes and was sobbing soundlessly while her cabin mates looked on in concern. He looked at me and I could literally feel his sadness. I was in shock. I never knew he felt that way. I went to go get Michaela and Tana so we could sing an improvised song. We stepped on stage we'd all be singing.

Tana was the first to talk "ok were going to be singing a song called scars by papa roach."

The music italic is Tana bold underlined is Michaela bold is Erinall three combined.

"Scars"

I tear my heart open, I see myself shut

My weakness is that I care too much

And my scars remind me that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down

And I just wanna be alone

I'm pissed because you came around

Why don't you just go home?

Cause you channel all your pain

And I can't help you fix yourself

You're making me insane

All I can say is

[Chorus:]

I tear my heart open, I see myself shut

My weakness is that I care too much

And our scars remind us that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once

Against my own advice

I saw you going down

But you never realized

That you're drowning in the water

So I offered you my hand

Compassions in my nature

Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down

And I just wanna be alone

You shouldn't ever come around

Why don't you just go home?

Cause you're drowning in the water

And I tried to grab your hand

And I left my heart open

But you didn't understand

Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

"Thank you" we all said. We ran off stage and I told the girls to put my I pod on track fifteen. They nodded and while they were doing that I grabbed my stool and guitar and went onstage. Everyone looked at me I smiled and sat down.

"Hey I'm going to sing a song by the late great Johnny Cash." They all clapped politely I gave the que to Tana and she put it on.

"Hurt"

(Originally by Nine Inch Nails)

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything

[Chorus:]

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns

Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here

[Chorus:]

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way.

I smiled into the mic by the time I was done I was crying a long with half of the camps population. I could have sworn I saw my father but he disappeared before I could get to him. Tana and Michaela both mobbed me with hugs sobbing into my shoulder. When I was finally able to get them off me I went in search for Travis. I found infrount of his cabin sitting on the steps.

"Hey" I smiled at him.

"Hey I didn't know you could sing like that it was amazing."

"It's a talent I don't use too much it reminds me a lot of my mom. You're probably going to get mad at me for saying this but I think you should go see Katie. I know you want to me also know that she wants you back she really misses you." I smiled "hell I know I would" I muttered under my breath. Travis looked up at the sky then back to me he picked me up and swung me around. When he set me down he said

"Thank you so much I'm going to go talk to her I love you Erin. Thanks man." I smiled as I watched his retreating figure "yah just not the way I want you too." I felt a presence behind me.

"That was a really nice thing you did I know you like the boy." He said.

For once I smiled at him "yah dad I know." I leaned against him.

"You know you're just like her, your mother I mean" he said

"Really" I said

"Yah" he said we stayed like that for the rest of the night for once I actually got to know my dad.
