I love, I fall for, I want, I need, I wish for, I die for, I see, you

Zeus's palace on the island

Percy was amazed by the change of the guys and girls coming to this formal party. Percy and all the other demigod boys were wearing suits. The girls, in the boy's eyes, were as if they were stars that have just fallen down for them to see. Lindsay wore a bright pink dress that touched the floor. Her hair was down and the boys were drawn back by how much she looked like her mother, at least in beauty. Annabeth was in a deep blue dress that went to her ankles. She had put her hair up into a ponytail, but still looked beautiful as well. Thalia was in a yellow dress that made her stand out and she had curled her hair. Rachel was kind of the odd one out wearing a white and black dress. Rachel had her hair down and straitened. The gods were already in the ballroom dancing. The demigods walked boy and girl side by side. As the group entered the ballroom they were met by stares from the gods. Apollo got off his seat and went towards Lindsay.

" Thalia would you like to dance?" asked Nico as the gods went backing to dancing with their partners.

" Sure," replied Thalia.

" Rachel?" asked Steve.

" Um okay." said Rachel.

" Percy?" asked Annabeth.

"Huh?" Percy responded. He really didn't hear her because he had been watching Lindsay go sit down at one of the tables on the right side of the room. He also noticed Athena and Artemis were also sitting down.

" Percy would like to dance?" questioned Annabth in a shy voice.

" Um, oh sorry sure." said Percy leading Annabeth to the dance floor. The music playing was Lovely by Michelle Tumes. As they were swaying to the music Annabth laid her head on Percy's shoulder.

" I love you still Percy I really do, but I know my heart wants to give Kyle a chance. I just don't know why," said Annabeth, who was close to tears. Percy turned the little dancing embrace into a hug.

" It's okay Annabeth," said Percy so softly so that she could only hear it. Lindsay watched everyone like a hawk. Then all of a sudden, Apollo popped up behind her.

" Would you care to dance?" asked Apollo.

" No I don't dance." said Lindsay.

" I thought you did ever since you were little." said Apollo.

" Now have you been doing PI work or did you have someone else do it?" asked Lindsay.

" Neither, Zeus did a background check on everyone of you demigods." responded Apollo.

" Stalker." was all Lindsay replied and went for the door.

" And were are you going?" asked Aphrodite blocking Lindsay's way out.

" Sleep or bed, take your pick." said Lindsay. Her mother just frowned.

" Why aren't you going to dance?" asked Aphrodite.

" There's no one here I like and all my friends are busy." said Lindsay, covering almost all bases.

" What about poor Apollo?" asked her mother.

" No, I don't like him and I need to go do something else before I go to sleep." admitted Lindsay.

" Let him go Lindsay." said Aphrodite.

" I can't he did something for me that you can't forget mother." said Lindsay getting past her mother and leaving. Annabeth had gone to the bathroom and Artemis was dancing with Percy, which amazingly went unnoticed by everyone except Rachel and Athena. Percy had seen Lindsay walk out of the room and knew she wasn't coming back.

" What's wrong Percy?" asked Artemis with worried eyes.

" It's just that I don't understand Lindsay as much as I'd like to," said percy truthfully.

" I told all I know about her, she's a tough and smart girl she can overcome anything." said Artemis trying to comfort Percy.

" I'm going to ask what's wrong with her," said Percy leaving Artemis. Athena came over to Artemis.

" Not interested in guys, eh." whispered Athena into Artemis's ear.

" Oh and you didn't think I saw you trying to think of a way to make Percy's yours?" Artemis whispered back.

Lindsay's room.

" Why? Why?" Lindsay screamed with tears coming down her cheeks.

" Because I love you..." Said a voice trailing off. That was a recording on Lindsay's Mp3 that she was listening to ever since she realized she accidentally recorded it. She played it over again. She heard a knock on the door. She just sat there waiting for that person to leave. Instead, she had forgotten to lock the door so when the person twisted the door knob he opened the door. Lindsay covered her face as the door swung open. Percy saw a different version of the strong and intelligent girl. She had changed into pink shorts and a green t-shirt.

" Lindsay you okay?" Asked Percy. Lindsay didn't even stirred as she heard the recording go again, " Hey talk to me I can help you."

Lindsay laughed at that comment.

" You think you can help me?" Lindsay said raising her head showing the tears that were falling.

" Come on what's wrong?" asked Percy.

" Tell me why do you want help me other then your cliché answer." Lindsay said in a demanding voice.

" Percy leave her alone she needs her own time alone," said Aphrodite behind Percy. Percy left as he was told and Aphrodite came in and went over to her daughter.

Apollo's palace

Apollo sat on his bed wondering why Lindsay didn't want to dance and why she had left.
