I Love a Broken Singer Chapter 12, a percy jackson and the olympians fanfic

Chapter 11

Percy's POV

It was the day, of the Talent Show. The entire school was buzzing with excitement, It wouldn't start until after second period. It was the begging of second period now, and as each minute ticked by I kept getting nervous. "I am so pumped for this" Michael said, tapping his drumsticks on the table. "Do you think we should change our songs?" I asked, Michael gave me a questioning look. "What? No this is a message for that...For Rachel man, stick with it. Don't back out now" I nodded. "Okay"

Second period went by faster, then it ever had before. The next thing I knew, we we're heading towards the auditorium. Michael and I passed by Rachel, I couldn't help myself. "Hey Rachel" I said, she looked over at me. "The song I'm going to sing is for you, and the second one too" I said, giving her a wink. Rachel smiled back, and continued walking with her friends. "Dude that was devious" Michael said, he had a straight face. I assumed he didn't approve of what I did, but he broke into a grin. "I love it, she'll think it's a song on how you want her back or something. Then Bang! It's a song about how your over her. I love it" I couldn't help but smile a little.

Once Michael and I got to the auditorium, we headed backstage and started to set-up our instruments. Shortly after Thalia and Nico showed up, we we're ready to go. Now we just had to wait our turn, and I was pumped.

Annabeth's POV

Jason, Piper, Leo and I sat down in the auditorium. We we're excited to see Percy and the band play, as we we're waiting I couldn't help but over hear someone's conversation. I looked behind me, to see Rachel with a small group of her minions. "Percy was like, Rachel the songs I'm going to sing are for you. Then he winked at me" Rachel said, her minions squealed. For reasons I couldn't explain, that troubled me. I finally settled on the Idea that, I just assumed Percy was over her. It seemed to be the only logical explanation at the moment. It didn't take long for the lights to dim, and People to start performing.

There were actually some pretty good acts, one kid an amazing break dance battle with his friend. It wasn't long after Until the Principal came out and said "Next up is the band 'Into Tartarus'" He shouted. Not many people cheered, but that was fine. We cheered quite loud, and I could hear the rest of our group nearby cheering also. Percy, Thalia, Nico and Michael came out with their instruments, Michael wheeled in his drum set. Percy grabbed the microphone and said "This song is called 'Badly Broken' " Someone threw a piece of paper at him, but he didn't seem to mind. They started playing.

I'm so badly broken

I blamed myself, you're so pathetic
You've moved along but you won't forget me
If there's a million different reasons why,
You left it all behind,
Then try me (you'll say anything)

When love has lost all its meaning,

You know,
You know I'm not alright,
This is where I draw the line,
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide
But I'm so badly broken
You know you swept me off my feet,
And now I'm stuck beneath
The bridge you burned on top of me
And I'm so badly broken.

I'm sure you got the best excuses
To keep me at your feet
It's all you got to clear your conscience,
Take a good long look at me!
You see a shell of what I used to be,
And can't get close to anyone or anything
Like how I thought it should be

When love has lost all its meaning,

You know,
You know I'm not alright,
This is where I draw the line,
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide
But I'm so badly broken
You know you swept me off my feet, (my feet)
And now I'm stuck beneath
The bridge you burned on top of me
And I'm so badly broken.

You've lost your chance (your chance)
And you will never get to love me again
The sky has opened up (opened up)
And I can finally see the sun
And what it was, it was!

You, you know I'm not alright,
This is where I draw the line,
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide,
But I'm so badly broken
You know you swept me off my feet,
And now I'm stuck beneath
The bridge you burned on top of me
And I'm so badly broken.

You know,
You know I'm not alright, (alright)
This is where I draw the line,
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide,
But I'm so badly broken
You know you swept me off my feet, (my feet)
And now I'm stuck beneath
The bridge you burned on top of me
And I'm so badly broken.

And you will never get to love me again (never get to love me again, again)

People stood up and cheered, there weren't that many. Maybe twenty of us total, but It was enough for Percy and them. I looked over at Rachel, and her face was Red with rage. I couldn't help but smile, Percy was over her. He just told her it was for her, to mess with her. The talent show continued from there, It wasn't long until, It was time to determine the winner. The principal came up onstage. "Alright so In first place we have 'The Dunks' " The crowd cheered, I was completely unsure how those guy's got first place. They were just a bunch of basketball guy's that flexed and passed the ball back and forth. No doubt they only won, because half the girls in this school enjoyed watching them flex. "And In second place we have the band 'Into Tartarus' " I cheered as loud as I could. "Since this band seemed to have some lovely talent, let's let them come back out and play us another song." On cue, Percy, Nico, Thalia, and Michael walked back out. They started to play, and the principal walked off stage.

Ah shit

As my sky turns from autumn to ash
I hate you more and more each day
As my mind grows angry by the hour
My circumstances look so gray

Please don't forgive me
I can't forgive myself
The knife is planted in my back

I'm the deepest cut
I'm the deepest wound
I'm the deepest lie you ever told
I'm the hardest part
I'm the blackest heart
I'm the darkest night that's way too cold
I'm leaving
I'm leaving now
I'm leaving
I'm the one that's always leaving you
(always leaving you)

Like drilling holes deeper in my teeth
I fake the smile on my face (I'm leaving)
Constantly shoving your fingers down my throat
You know the best ways to bring the worst outta me

Please don't forgive me
I can't forgive myself
The knife is planted in my back

You
Leaving
Leaving
Leaving
Leaving you

It took exactly thirty minutes, for everyone to get back into our regular schedule. Half way through Greek Mythology the bell rang for lunch, I got up and looked over at Percy. He was asleep, I tried my best to not laugh. I walked over to him, he was drooling a bit. I couldn't help but think, he looked cute when he was asleep. He stirred, so I shook his shoulder. "Percy, come on It's time for lunch" He lifted his head groggily, and rubbed his eyes. "You drool when you sleep" I told him, he looked at me standing up. "I do not" he said. I smirked "Tell that to the bit of drool on your chin" He quickly wiped it away. We headed towards the cafeteria, talking about ourselves as we went. It amazed me, how we've been friends for four weeks now, and yet we knew very little about each other.

After lunch, the rest of the day went by in a breeze, Percy and I were heading to the courtyard, when he received a text message. He frowned, "Everything okay?" I asked, he looked up at me. His eyes flashed changed mood, they looked...scared for a moment. But they quickly changed back to their usual selves'. "Yeah, everything's fine. Just a change of plans...I can't hang out today. Maybe tomorrow, see 'ya then" Percy said, then walked off before I could respond. That made me a bit worried, but It was probably nothing serious.

Hello guy's, so tomorrow I'll have either two chapters out for you. Or one chapter, but It'll be longer then usual. IDK yet, we'll see. But uhhhI have two more day's till summer for me, I don't think I'm ready. I mean next year, I'll be a sophomore. It makes me a bit scared. ehhh *Whines*

But anyway, I hope you guy's enjoyed this chapter, let me know what you think.

AliceTonksHPJ- What kind of flare does it need, I'm open for any ideas you might have. Also the name of the songs are in some of the chapters. If you want I can list them all off, in the next chapter. But the two songs in this chapter are called 'Badly Broken' and 'Deepest Cut' and there both by the band 'Get Scared'
