Chapter 2
(Leo's PoV)
I guess, I woke up a few hours later. Still laying on the sand, my face cracked and uncomfortable from dried tears. I had to get away, I couldn't stay here tonight. No doubt in my mind did Nico assemble a search party and he's at my cabin waiting, you know unless he hates me… You know, I shouldn't be even be here. Who needs an obnoxious, loud-mouthed, annoying, jittery 14-year-old around? Theres this club a few miles from here that I keep seeing for teens. Its called, I think something like Nightowl? Whatever it sounds cool.
Walking, took me forever. I didn't care though it gave me reason to plug in my headphones into my iPod. You could say that I'm kind of a dark person when it comes to music. My iPod is full of Skillet, Flyleaf, Fireflight, Three Days Grace, Metallica, Falling in Reverse, Of Mice and Men, and stuff like that. I do have a few bands who are more as: Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, American Authors and Matchbox Twenty.
To be perfectly, did the song World So Cold by Three Days Grace fit my life at this moment. I guess I could have a little self pity once in a while. Just the melody feels hallowing, I could listen to it all day… I lost myself in the bands music, until I got to the bridge.
I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time
Livin' in a world so cold, wasting away
Livin' in a shell with no soul since you've gone away
Livin' in a world so cold, counting the days
Since you've gone away, you've gone away
I realized that it was true. Since I kissed Nico, I hadn't felt hot at all. Strange isn't it with my body temperature being like it is, I'm always hot and sweaty. But I haven't felt anything. I guess, I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize that I had reached my destination.
Getting past the bouncer was easy, he looked at me and without a word let me inside. It was like any other teenage club, strobelights, neon paint on the walls, blacklights, the smell of booze and alcohol in the air, and dubstep playing. Might as well make the best of this night, was my last thought about anything else when I was handed a drink by a skanky looking blonde. About an hour later a song actually knew came on.
You're wide awake, your heart beats
Sister Mary in her burning dress with god at her feet
The same blonde that handed me a drink came over and started dancing with me. I couldn't think straight but I didn't care, this was my night. Fuck Nico and Percy and all of the bullshit. Although it might be the beer talking here. I don't even know.
They take and take, but no more
Cause now you're gonna show em what the night is really for
And leave your heart out on the dance floor
I didn't want to think about anything else, I wanted to leave everything behind right now, because this is my night. The blonde, who I learned is VERY touch if you know what I mean, was taking me too the center of the dancefloor.
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
I couldn't even make shapes out at this point but I didn't care, it felt good too forget isn't that why people did this?
Your life is full, of hard days
You try to hold it down but it's more than you can take
Those flashing lights, they shine down
It's hard as hell to try to keep your head in this town
So we're gonna burn the place down
I wanted to burn it down but no, not risking it. I melted into what I thought was Nico kissing me and I let it all go for at least one night.
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
No don't you ever fade away, yeah
Until the sun rise
Fuck responsibilities. I was always the one people came too for help. No one ever wanted to help me.
Saying "oh ho oh oh" (repeat)
Put your hands up, it's all right
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sunrise
And if you can't sleep, do it all night
Saying "oh ho oh oh", and don't you ever fade away
No don't you ever fade away, yeah
And don't you ever fade away (better put your hands up)
Nothing made sense anymore, there was just colors and blurs in front of me. I didn't even know where I was, much less who was with me.
Saying "oh ho oh oh", until the sun rise.
I don't own the songs or bands I've mentioned and I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians either. The song at the club he's listening too is 'Put Your Hands Up' by Matchbox Twenty next chapter should be up in 3 days cx
