Hi Guy's Hope you enjoy
Chapter 7
Annabeth's POV
I sat at the bar, and watched Percy play. I saw that he was actually happy, he shook his head. "That song was called A match into Water, lets go for our other song now" Percy shouted over the crowd. I couldn't help but smile, he seemed so enthusiastic about his music. They readied they're instruments and started playing.

Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge?
I bet you never had a Friday night like this
Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
I take a look up at the sky and I see red
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Everything red
Please, won't you push me for the last time
Let's scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr, I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
The thing I think I love
Will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up
Pubescent drama queen
You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
Scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
We'll start a new revolution now
(Now! Alright here we go)
Hail Mary, forgive me
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Come at me, now this is war!
Fuck with this new beat
Oh!
Now terror begins inside a bloodless vein
I was just a product of the street youth rage
Born in this world without a voice or say
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
I know you well but this ain't a game
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Dying is a gift so close your eyes and rest in peace
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
We are the shadows screaming take us now
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground
Shit
The crowd cheered, and I couldn't help but cheer a little myself. Percy smiled and waved at the crowd. After several minutes, Percy said "Alright we have one more song after this, but we'll take a small break." Percy, Nico, Michael and Thalia hopped of stage and headed over to us. Percy came back and sat next to me, taking a long sip of his drink. "So" I said, Percy looked up. "Tell me about your music" I said, smiling a bit when I saw Percy's eyes light up a bit. I could tell, that he wasn't one-hundred percent ok. But for now, he seemed fine. Percy smiled "Well...where to begin" He said. " I guess, I started writing music when I was fifth teen. I had fun writing, but I didn't really get serious about it until I was sixteen. So I talked to Nico and Thalia, and we decided to make a band. We needed a drummer, so Nico got a friend he knew which was Michael. We started playing and that's really how we got started." He explained, he looked happy. Music was really important to him I could tell, He loved it. "How do you write your sings?" I asked.
"Well to be honest all I do is just sit there, with my pencil and paper. After several minutes I have a new song in front of me." I gave him a questioning look, "Are you messing with me?" I asked. He laughed, a real laugh. It was a nice sound to hear, and I was glad I was the one to make him laugh. "No, I'm serious" He said, he face got serious for a moment. "I sit there, and think about stuff. My emotions and thoughts come together" He looked a bit sheepish, and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Next I just write...I don't really pay attention to what I'm writing. But that's what makes my songs real I guess." He sighed, "I'm sorry that probably sounds stupid..."he said. "No, Its not stupid. That actually makes sense" I said.
Percy looked relieved a bit, "So uhhh, tell me about yourself" He asked. That question kind of caught me off guard, but never the less I told him about my life. About my step-brothers, and my step-mom Helen. How my Dad, didn't really notice me that much, and school. I told him why I studied so hard, I explained why I wanted to be an Architect. "I just want to build, something permanent" I said. "I don't want it to be like my family, that just broke apart. I want something that will last for thousands of years to come" Percy nodded. "That sounds cool, I'm sure you'll build something amazing soon." He said. "I'll be right back, we're gonna play our last song" He said. They walked back upstage and started to play.

1 2, 3, 4!
Yeah!
At the edge of us
I'm holding on
I've lost your trust
But I'm still trying
I've changed in many ways
I can't explain
I've lost my touch
And I'm not lying
Screaming on the inside
Yeah, on the inside
I've come undone
And I'm waiting for a time like
Yeah, for a time like this
To prove you wrong
To prove you wrong (Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong)
You've got a grip on me
I cannot take it by mistake
And you're the coward
My tongues become a gun
You've tortured me
I'm out of luck
And you're the trigger
Screaming on the inside
Yeah, on the inside
I've come undone
And I'm waiting for a time like
Yeah for a time like this
To prove you wrong
To prove you wrong
What goes on behind those eyes of yours
I'll never know but I've been told
When this all comes crashing down on us
I'll be here to sort us out
To sort us out, out
And I'm screaming on the inside
Yeah, on the inside
I've come undone
And I'm waiting for a time like
Yeah, for a time like this
To prove you wrong
To prove you wrong
Screaming on the inside
Yeah, on the inside
I've come undone
And I'm waiting for a time like
Yeah, for a time like this
to prove you wrong
to prove you wrong
to prove you wrong
to prove you wrong
I normally didn't like this type of music, but when Percy sang. I couldn't help but like it, I figured that all his songs contained a hidden message. It might be a different one for everyone, depending on how they interpret it. But Percy would be the one to actually know the real meaning, behind each song he wrote. They headed backstage, no doubt to pack up they're stuff. Piper slid into the seat next to me, "So how's it going?" She asked. I sighed "Ok, I actually don't regret coming here it was actually...nice" Piper smiled, "See I told you" I raised an eyebrow "Yeah, yeah whatever" I said. "We'll I'm going to go back to Jason, we'll be..." She tailed off, and walked back towards Jason. After several minutes Percy came and sat back down, he had a small notebook next to him. Across the cover it read 'Into Tartarus' it was no doubt his song book. "D-Do you wanna see my songs?" He asked. I nodded and scooted a bit closer, while he opened the journal. On the first Page it read the title of the song "Problematic?" I asked. He nodded "Yeah...I made it the day after Rachel cheated on me" That surprised me a bit, he looked like he didn't really want to share and I didn't really want to pry, but he continued. "She tried to apologize, so I wrote this. That's why It says 'Fake apologies'" He said it in quotations. I nodded, "Makes sense" He turned the page, and the top said, 'Get out while you can'. "What's this song for?" I asked. He hesitated, but then said "I'm not sure really, I feel like its for someone specific...but I don't know who yet." I nodded, and that's what we did for the next half hour. We talked a bit about his songs, he was becoming more open with me and I was quite glad. I knew there were still a lot of things, he wouldn't tell me, but I was hoping in time he would.
