Promises
Annabeth
Chapter 2
It took a lot of convincing for my mom to let me move to LA with my dad. All I knew was I couldn't stand to be in that city with those people anymore.
Thalia came to visit me while I was home. She tried to talk me out of the move, but she understood why it needed to happen.
She told me that after I ran out of the school, she screamed at Rachel and slapped her. That made me a lot happier, but I still couldn't get the image of Percy laughing out of my mind. But I knew I had to get over it and get over him.
The night I started packing up my room, I found a lot of stuff from elementary school. There was a picture of me and Thalia on the swings from 2nd grade. Another picture with me and Percy and Thalia. And finally me and Percy. We were laughing and we looked like best friends should. I quickly threw the picture in the trash not wanting to be remembered of him anymore.
By the end of the week I was packed. Thalia came by to say goodbye & there were lots of tears and hugging.
My mom told me that Percy tried to come by almost once a day. That made me feel happy at first but then it just made me upset.
2 hours after saying bye to Thalia I am on the plane to LA. It's weird knowing I may never come be coming back.
My seat on the plane was favorable. I had a window seat and I was sitting next to a man who looked about 26. I put my headphones in and was singing to Taylor Swift.
I guess I was singing louder than I thought, because next thing I know, the man started tapping my shoulder. I quickly took my headphones out to see what he needed.
"Sorry, was I singing to loudly?"
"Not at all. I wanted to let you know that you have an amazing voice!"
"Oh, well thank you!" I say starting to put my headphones in, but he stopped me.
"My name is Will Thomas of Apollo Music Productions."
"Wow! That's cool!" I say not quite understanding where this was going.
"Yes, are you staying in Los Angeles for a while?" he asked me
"Yes, I'm moving in with my dad."
"Oh, that's exciting. LA is an amazing city; I know you'll love it!"
"I hope so!"
"I really do love your voice!"
"Thank you!" I said feeling my face heat up.
"My company has been looking for a young girl with a voice like yours," he said calmly
My eyes widened as I realized what he was saying. "Wait, are you saying I have a good enough voice to be signed?"
"I only heard you a little bit, but I'm certain you have a really amazing voice on you," he said reaching into his briefcase, "here, take my card and call me when you get home and we'll set up a meeting and you can show me your voice for real. You could be the next big thing."
I grabbed his card my eyes still widened with disbelief. Me, a singer? I mean sure I love singing around the house or when I'm in the shower, but in front of a bunch of people that have seen such amazing people, I don't really know if I could do that.
"Okay," I manage to say right as the pilot tells us we're getting ready to land.

Walking off the plane I felt myself get nervous. I haven't seen my dad in almost 6 years. Last time I saw him was on his wedding day when I was 8. He married my step-mom, Susan, and eventually they had twins, Matthew and Bobby. I never met them, but Dad sends me pictures of them. They're pretty cute. But I still am nervous to meet them.
I walk through security and look around, trying to spot my dad. After about a minute of looking someone puts their hands over my eyes.
"Dad!" I said quickly spinning around to give my dad a hug, "I missed you!"
"I missed you too Anna Banana!" he said spinning me around. I felt like a little kid again. I didn't realize until now, exactly how much I had missed my dad over the years.
"We have lots of catching up to do don't we?" I nodded. "We'll chat in the car!"
~0~
"Dad, you'll never believe what happened on the plane!" I said excitedly, "so on the plane I had my headphones in and I was singing."
"Annie did you piss off the guy you were sitting next to?" he said with a smirk.
"Nooo…. But he turned out to be a music producer! And he told me he thought I could be the next big thing!" I said with a huge grin on my face.
"Wow! Annie, that's amazing! And I'm guessing he gave you his card?" I nodded, "and I'm also guessing you want to give him a call?" I nodded even harder this time. "Alright, we'll talk to Susan about it."
