Chapter 2
Percy's Pov
I woke up remembering the dream from the night before, and Jason walking in on my screaming. I hope he didn't tell the others because I didn't want a big fuss made out of it.
I got out of my bed and yawned. I walked into my ensuite and looked into the mirror that was above the sink. My hair was all over the place, but that's what it was like all the time it was pretty untameable. I took out a face cloth and washed the sleep out of my eyes. There were big, black bags under my eyes due to the lack of sleep I've been having, because of my nightmares but I couldn't do anything about them could I? I tried (emphasis on the tried) to tame my hair but it wasn't working for me so I gave up.
I walked into my room and headed towards my closet. I picked up a sea, green t-shirt and blue Bermuda shorts, as I wasn't doing anything today anyway. I then headed into our giant kitchen to get breakfast. The rest of my band mates were already there eating and talking. I walked past them and headed for the fridge, to get milk to put in to my lucky charms. I took out the bowl that I had claimed as mine since the beginning and made myself a bowl of cereal. I then walked to the table and sat down.
I began to eat my cereal, while playing on my phone. I looked up to see Jason looking at me with a look of worry and pity at the same time, something in me snapped when I saw the look he gave me and I began shouting.
"WOULD YOU STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!" I screamed.
"Percy just calm do…" Jason started before I interrupted him.
"NO I WON'T CALM DOWN!" I screamed.
"Listen Percy, what do you expect, I walk into your room to find you screaming in your sleep and you expect me not to wonder what's wrong or what you are hiding, there is no need to be an ass about it." He said.
I don't know why but this made me even angrier, I didn't want everyone knowing that I had been screaming or having a nightmare and Jason just went and blabbed.
"I DON'T WANT YOUR PITY, I AM PERFECTLY FINE, AND YOU SHOULD JUST LEARN TO KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS." I screamed at Jason again.
When Jason heard what I said a look of extreme hurt appeared onto his face.
"Fine, I will just leave you alone from now on!" he said while walking around the room.
All my other bandmates looked at me and Nico said "Look Percy he was only looking out for you cut him slack!"
"Just shut up Nico!" I said, while grabbing my jacket and slamming the door to our trailer.
Once I had walked out of the trailer, I stood outside of the door for like five minutes, until I had cooled down a bit. I then realised I had been a complete and utter dick to Jason and that it wasn't right but I needed a little time to myself before I could face the rest of them again. I pulled my hood over my head so no-one would recognise me and walked away from the trailer.
I didn't know where to go so I ended up just walking around until I found a park. I walked through the gates and saw the park from the top of a hill.
From here it looked beautiful, it was so natural, and there was grass, tree's and an array of multi-coloured flowers everywhere. I know what you're probably thinking a guy who's as much as a dick as he is, is actually thinking of something other than himself… well yea I am.
I walked down the hill and saw the park from ground level, even close up it was pretty. There were pens filled with animals. Chickens, turkeys, cockerels and then another cage filled with exotic birds, Parrots, budgies, you name it. There was also a pond filled with ducks, geese and swans. I walked around the park for a little while longer and came across a war memorial and an old canon that was used in the war. The memorial was covered from top to bottom with names of people who died serving their country. At one point when I was younger around fifteen/sixteen I wanted to join the navy because of my love for water and I hadn't realised I loved music so much and that I could've became what I am now. I had loved the Idea of joining the Navy, being on water and being able to use machinery and computers, to save the country and I probably would have joined had it not been for my discovery in music. I wouldn't change what I have achieved for anything/anyone in the world.
After a while of walking around the park, I sat on a bench that overlooked the duck pond and closed my eyes enjoying being in the environment. After a while I began to hum a new tune that had formed into my head. I took out the notebook that was in my pocket and began writing the lyrics that had come into my head as well.
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
I was suddenly in a world of my own, music did this to me. It didn't matter where I was, if I had a new song I would have to write it down, no matter what.
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I was now singing along, with the tune that had come into my head earlier and it fit perfectly.
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come.
There was no stopping me now, I wouldn't be able to stop until I had the whole song finished. I just had to keep going. I was no writing the chorus.
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
I had the whole song in my head now all I needed to do was write it down.
At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come.
I looked up, satisfied with my work, it still needed a little work though, but I knew I could finish it easily, because I always do.
I got up from the bench and began to walk back to the trailer. When I got to the top of the hill again I looked back, I knew this would be a place to remember. When I got back to the trailer, I walked into the kitchen and made myself a glass of milk. After that I headed to the games room where I knew everyone would be. I was about to open the door when I heard a few things that made me stop.
"What do you think's the matter with him?" I heard.
"I don't know but I reckon we stay no doubt it will be some lame issue of his, it always is!"
I then heard everyone agree and go back to their game. I stood at the door processing what they had just said.
What do they mean, Lame issue? I have never told them anything about my personal life, sure I over re-act a bit sometimes over stupid things but that gives them no right to talk about me like that. I decided not to make a big deal out of it and walked into the games room.
When they heard the door open, they all turned around.
"Look..!" I began but I was cut off by Jason.
"Percy, you don't have to, I'm sorry. I don't know your personal life and I shouldn't have said anything I'm sorry!" he said.
"No, Jason I'm sorry! I over re-acted, it's just there are some things I don't want shared and I didn't want them to know about last night!" I said.
"It's okay and I'm sorry!" Jason said.
I walked over to Jason and we bro-hugged.
"So where you been?" Beckendorf asked.
"I came across this park and I had the urge to write a song so I did!" I said.
"What's it like?" Nico asked.
"Well I haven't got it all worked out yet but I think it could be a hit. I am calling it Demons!" I said.
"Let's hear it then!" they all said.
I took out my notepad and began to sing. I sung the first verse and Nico picked up his bass guitar and began to play along with my song. Then Frank played some rhythm guitar to add to it and it was beginning to sound awesome all we needed was some killer drums which Beckendorf added pretty soon after Frank and then all we needed was some awesome electric guitar, and that's where Jason came in. We played the song altogether and If I do say so myself, it was going to be a hit.
"Oh my frickin word guys, that rocked!" I exclaimed.
"You bet it did!" they said.
We then played the song again and recorded it. We then sent it off to Apollo to see what he thought. After that we ordered Pizza and watched movies for the rest of the night.
For the first time in ever I went to bed with a smile on my face, well that was until the nightmares began.
