Annabeth POV
The girls and I were at home now. I was actually sitting on the little platform, on the roof, that I could get to from my window.
I had my acoustic on my lap, and I had just finished another one of my 'solo' songs.
"Finally!"
I started to strum, and sing the lyrics to the song, Sparks Fly (By Taylor Swift)
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me,
it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show
Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
And the sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
And the sparks fly...
As I finished singing, I felt something cold and wet on my cheek. I wiped the small tear away.
This song, it was everything I wanted. It was everything I wanted with Percy. I sighed, knowing that if we told the guys, there was a good chance that they would be mad and not talk to us anymore.
I heard a small whistle coming from behind me, and I nearly fell off the roof.
"Gods, Thalia! Next time you wanna kill me, give me a little heads up." I said weakly. I was still sad, at the thought of Percy.
"So, another song about Percy?" She said while ignoring my last comment.
I tried to argue, but I knew she wasn't going to leave until I answered. "How'd you know?" I asked.
"'Get me with those green eyes'? Really?" I rolled my eyes, but nodded.
"It's not like you've never written about Nico." She smiled sadly while nodding.
"I just wish that we could tell them…" She trailed off. I knew exactly how she felt.
I just nodded and jumped down from the roof, through the window and put my guitar back on the stand.
"Wanna watch a movie?" She suggested. I nodded, smiling slightly, knowing what movie we were going to watch.
I ran to Piper's room, where she was doing science homework. She looked up when I told her that we were going to watch a movie, because she too knew what movie we were going to watch.
When we reached the indoor movie theatre, I saw that Thalia was already sprawled across the couch, with a tub of popcorn in her hand.
I just chuckled as I grabbed my respective tub of popcorn, and basically dumped a bunch of butter on it. Piper snickered behind me.
As I turned around, I bumped her with my hip, and went to sit on the floor, on the fluffy carpet at the foot of the soft, dark couch.
As Piper and I settled in, Thalia pressed the play button on the title menu of our favorite movie. It was a movie that we had all started watching (including the boys) since we were 8. The last movie came out just about 5 months before we had to move…
As I snuggled up with my extremely fuzzy, gray blanket, I saw the name of the first movie flash on the screen.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
(In this story, the trilogy came out way before 2001… I guess that this story doesn't really have a date. It's probably past 2012, but there are no drastic changes like floating cars or anything like that…)
As the first scenes rolled by, I couldn't help but think of the times that I watched this movie, snuggled up beside my best friend, Percy Jackson.
