A/N
I highly recommend playing the song while you read.
Say you're there when I feel helpless
"Annbeth?" Percy gazes into Annbeth's silver eyes, her gaze is soft with love as she smiles back.
"Yes, love?"
"You'll... you'll always be there for me, right?" Percy's voice is full of unsaid securities, his past slowly crawls back to haunt him.
Annabeth understands immediately and affectionately pats his cheek. "Of course I will."
If that's true why don't you help me
Percy shivers in the cold, tears running down his cheeks. "I miss you." He says softly, almost tenderly—as if afraid to be heard.
He takes a deep, shuddering breath. "Annie..." his voice cracks, "Annie, why'd you have to go?"
It's my fault
It is. I know it is. And no matter how hard they try to convince me otherwise, I know I'm right.
Percy stares at the wall, lost in his thoughts.
The night does its magic. It makes his emotions seem that much more tangled in his soul—strangling him in such a way he doesn't know if he'll ever be free of them.
I know I'm selfish
I could never let you go. I could never stay true to my promise. I'm selfish, I want to hold onto every bit of you.
even if it kills me in the process
You're far too important to ever give up, even the parts of you that hurt me so much I can barely breathe.
The memories that we never knew would be our last.
Laughing in the warm sun,
swimming in the ocean,
the ring—oh gods the ring—
Stand alone, my soul is jealous
I want nothing more than to hold your hand,
my soul is jealous for your love.
I stand alone against the tides,
my soul will forever hold your brand.
It wants love, but I reject it
There is and always will be a place in my heart for you.
I am and will forever be yours.
Trade my joy for my protection
I've gotten to used to your love,
now I find myself unable to be happy again lest I have you back.
Never again will I love another like I did you,
never again will I rely so heavily on another person.
Grab my hand, I'm drowning
How can the son of the sea god drown?
In his own thoughts,
In his own head,
In his lies.
I feel my heart pounding
