I Love a Broken Singer Chapter 6, a percy jackson and the olympians fanfic

Hi guy's, sorry about not updating yesterday. I went and played some soccer with my neighborhood friends. But yeah anyway, I'm going to try and get two chapters out today...can't make any promises but I will try. Also I wanted to thank anyone and everyone who has Followed & Favorite this story. It means a lot.

Chapter 6

Annabeth's POV

"So are you going to The Hangout tonight?" Piper asked me, while she sat on the opposite couch from me. I looked up from my book, "Why would I go there, you know I don't like that place" Piper gave me a questioning look, "Did Jason not tell you yet?" she asked. "Tell me what?" I said. "Thalia told Jason that her band's playing there tonight, and we're all invited if we want to go" Piper told me. Just then my phone vibrated, I picked it up to see a text from Jason.

"Hey, Thalia's band is playing at The Hangout, so If you wanna go meet us there. The rest of the group is going, so see ya later"

"He just now texted me, about it" I said. Piper looked at me, "So will you go?" She asked. I sighed "I don't know, that place isn't really for me" Piper pouted, "Percy will be there" she told me. "What does that have to do with anything?" I asked. Piper gave me a look, I recognized that look Immediately. It was the same look Silena gave people too, but that was only when...she wanted to play match maker. Which meant, since they're both step sisters...Piper planned on matching me and Percy. "No" I said, Piper got up and sat next to me. "Come on Annie, you guy's looked so cute together the other day" Piper said. My eyes narrowed at the mention of my nickname, but she didn't seemed fazed at all. "First off, I don't like Percy like that. I just met the guy. Also he just got out of a break-up" Piper sighed, "Fine, but can you at least come...everyone else is going" I mulled over the thought of me being over there, with all the loud music and dancing and whatever else it was that teens did over there. "Come on Annabeth, you always said you wish you were a bit more social" I bit my lip softly, "Fine, I guess I'll go" Piper cheered, "Yaay, its going to be a blast" Whatever I thought, I went back to reading.

Percy's POV

"Hey Percy, you ready?" Michael asked. I looked up from, the song I was currently writing backstage. I had sat down at a small bench, that Max the owner of 'The Hangout' kept for any performers to just sit and relax for a bit. Michael stood next to me now, drumsticks in hand. "Max say's we're on in five, k?" I nodded, "Yeah, be right there" Michael walked off, I folded the paper and shoved it into my pocket. I'll finish it later, I thought. I grabbed a bottle of water, and quickly chugged it down. I walked out towards the stage, as soon as I emerged from the curtains I was greeted with a small crowd. Ok, crowd might be a bit of an understatement, there were at least forty people her tonight. Almost every single booth and table was filled. The small bar area, had a few teens here and there. Some people were eating, others were talking and laughing with friends.

I looked over the crowd, and my eyes landed on the small fish tank. A small smile tugged at my mouth, I couldn't help it. That fish tank was a gift from Max, he gave it to me for my sixteenth Birthday. Since I always seemed to hangout here everyday, after school he felt that it needed something I would like. The fish inside the tank swam around, my favorite was the small clownfish. I named him Nemo, it was one of my favorite Disney Movie. I felt a tap on my shoulder, It was Nico "Hey you ready?" I couldn't help but have a small grin, even though nowadays I didn't really smile. Performing here, always brought good memories and It just felt right to smile. "Yeah, lets get this show started" We started up our song, and the crowd started cheering a bit.

Percy (Italics) Nico (Italics and Bold)

Self medicate while they sleep,
We let the night chase evil things away
And we're like animals homesick from shows
We gotta kill everything before the night gets wasted

Maybe it seems so strange
But we don't even stress at all
'Cause we've got poisons in our well... (poison in our well)

Come at me with everything you've got.

Burst into flames, (flames)
Scream in the dark
I'm gonna light up this place
And die in beautiful stars
Tonight

Does it even make a difference?
When I'm sober, I feel pain
As we run under the stars
Through cemetery backyards (backyards)
Celebrate the way the night hides scars.

So dance if it moves you
And jump in the fire, if it burns you
I'll throw my arms around you darling
And we'll turn to ashes
Drown me in the flames

Scream in the dark!
I'm gonna light up this place
And die in beautiful stars!

But if these demons keep falling from the sky
It's alright
'Cause sometimes I love the way
You swing the blade
At everything in sight!

Separate me from my own two hands, I've killed so many times (killed so many times)
But I can't save the world from the creatures that don't die.

I kinda like the way you tell me, "Baby, please come home,
I need you here right now,
I'm crying underwater so you don't hear the sound."

Burst into flames (what do you do when you're out of time?)
Scream in the dark (where do you go when they're right outside?)
I'm gonna light up this place (and how do you scream when there's no one left around?)
(No one left around?)

And I will be the only light
I'll be the only light

The crowd cheered and clapped, and I smiled. Performing, this is my medicine. This makes me happy, up here on stage I'm someone else. "Thank you, that song was called 'Props and Mayhem' Hope you enjoyed it" I said. I was met with a couple more cheers. We started up our next song. (A/N I know I already used this song but, its for the performance so Yeah also guy's I suggest searching the song on Youtube, and listen to it while you read the lyrics. So you can hear how Percy sounds, for the story. Just a suggestion though)

Percy (Italics) Nico (Italics & Bold)

I gots a lot to learn,
But I learn a lot, I'm not concerned.
You've got a lot of burns
From all this pessimisy you said
Miscommunication.
Miss, you've got me waiting.
And I'm shaaa sh-sh-shaking
Emotions, dislocated.

Fake apologies (Fake apologies)
Can I just call it quits,
I can't take all of this.
Fighting all of me (Fighting all of me)
I want a second chance,
But I'm so broken.

(Hahahaha)

I'm growing madder by the day,
It doesn't matter anyway.
Over dramatic and insane
But you look at me so differently,
Oh, me specifically.
'Cause I've got all these little things
Laugh at me, tragedy.

Fake apologies (Fake apologies)
Can I just call it quits
I can't take all of this.
Fighting all of me (Fighting all of me)
I want a second chance,
But I'm so broken.

Yeah, I would give up everything to know,
Just for a fact it won't come back.
And I would give up everything to know,
Just for a fact it won't come back.

So much more.
So much more.
So much mooore!

Fake apologies (Fake apologies)
Can I just call it quits,
I can't take all of this
Fighting all of me (Fighting all of me)
I want a second chance,
But I'm so broken
[X2]

And I've got a lot to learn,
But it's okay I'm not concerned,
Nooo.
Okay, I'm concerned!

The crowd cheered, "We're gonna take a small break, but we'll be back up here in a bit" Nico said. People clapped and cheered. We walked off stage, I followed Michael. All around us people chatted and danced. We walked up to the bar and Michael walked over to Reyna. I swear it was like he had a Reyna detector, that' when I noticed that Annabeth and all her friends were here. I sat down and Max walked over, from behind the counter. "What can I get ya' Percy/" He asked, Max had a Pearly white teeth and sand cropped hair. He wore a simple green T-shirt with a pair of baggy jeans. "Can I get PowerAde" I said. Max grinned "What color do ya' want/" he asked already knowing the answer. "Blue" we said in unison, I couldn't help but have a small smile. Max walked off, to go get my drink. I looked over at Reyna, her and Michael were chatting away. He seemed to ask a question, and Reyna looked a bit surprised but nodded with a small smile. Michael leaned into Reyna and gave her a small kiss on the lips. I sighed, I was happy for Michael. He seemed to finally find a girl, just right for him. But seeing him and Reyna, made me Think of Rachel. I was getting over her, I knew that for a fact. But I wasn't completely over her yet, that was going to take some time.

"You know, that's a bit creepy staring at other people kissing right?" I was startled out of my thoughts, by her voice. I looked over to see, Annabeth sitting next to me. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" She said. "It's cool" I said. Annabeth hesitated, I could tell she had a question. But she wasn't sure if she should ask it, at least that's what I thought from the look she had. "w-Were you thinking about Rachel?" She asked. I looked down at the counter, and played with my fingers. After several seconds, I nodded. "Here ya' go, Percy" Max said, placing a cup of Blue Powerade in front of me. He looked between me and Annabeth, smiled at her and walked away. "You know, It's not bad to still care about her" I nodded. "I know...I just don't want to still care about her, Im getting over her though" I looked up at Annabeth, she smiled "That's good, you did great performing. How many more songs are you guys going to perform?" she asked. "We have three more, and thanks." Annabeth beamed. I took a sip of my Powerade, and stood up. "Save my spot for me?" I asked. She nodded. I walked over to Thalia, Nico and Michael. "Guy's lets head to the stage" They nodded. So we walked up to the stage, as soon as we grabbed our instruments the crowd started clapping and whooping.

Percy (Italics) Nico (Italics & Bold)

Let's go!

I kissed the scars on her skin
I still think you're beautiful
And I don't ever wanna lose my best friend.
I screamed out, "God, you vulture (you vulture),
Bring her back or take me with her."

Tear it down, break the barricade
I want to see what sound it makes
I hate this flavor with a passion and I fucking hate the aftertaste

How does it feel? (How does it feel?)
How does it feel? Well it feels like I'm on fire!
Wake up, I know you can hear me.

Make me a promise here tonight, love like a tidal wave
Dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that,
When it's sudden death we fight back
(Oh, yeah)

Pretend like I don't entice you
I've seen you circling the sky above my head
You traitor

I will never be taken for granted again
Keep digging holes in the desert
Say a prayer for you

I know that you're in pain
But if we die at the same time does it still scare you?

Make me a promise here tonight. Let's go!
Dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that,
Oh my God we're not gonna make it

We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave!

We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
And nothing will remain

She's mine
You stay away from her
It's not her time.
'Cause, baby, I'm the one
Who haunts her dreams at night,
Until she's satisfied.

Go!

Fuck it!

The crowd cheered, I looked at Nico. He was smiling, so was Thalia and Michael. We all were pumped, just by this small crowd. Performing in front of these people, it was amazing to us. It was what we enjoyed, we might of not liked the way our lives' were but this made up for it. I loved it, the adrenaline that pumped in my veins, the way I could feel the excitement of the crowd. I wondered what it would be like, to actually perform on an actual stage in front of millions of people. I shook my head and smiled a little, that would come in the future.

Ok so this is part 1, part 2 will come out later today. But if I'm not able to get it out, then it'll be out early tomorrow. Let me know what you guys think. Hope you enjoyed. BTW the last song is called 'A match into Water' by Peirce the veil

TheBambooBook- That's the plan so far, just have to figure out when and where

.Girl- I think Gabe deserves more than yelling, but I guess that's ok for now. Thanks punching your keyboard though, Im pretty sure I felt your rage through that.

Guest- Thank you, glad you liked it

Bye guys until later today, or tomorrow
