We decided to keep our relationship a secret first. The only ones who knew were Piper, Grover, and Silena. Silena was one of the songwriters for Campus Studio, and Grover was Percy's best friend.

Two months later we released two new songs, both solos. The studio was doing well, but Mr. Brunner didn't think they'd last more than three other months.

I used to get a lot of offers to work with different companies. Some really good ones, like Music Works NY or VEVO America. I didn't want to let Mr. Brunner down. We went on little tours around America, and once we went to Canada too.

Seeing how soon we became famous around the world from YouTube and Spotify motivated us to go high. We got nominated for Young Artist Award and won.

However, Percy was still the same baby boyfriend I had. He would show up at my house around 6 in the morning with a cup of coffee or diet coke. Usually a diet coke, that had a blue can.

We would go on walks in the park or go eat breakfast at his mom's bakery, "Bluekery". We both got in Goode High for our last year of high school. We were both 17 and living our best lives. We had supporters around the world and nothing else mattered, we still had each other.

"Hello?" I answered my phone

"Hello, is this Annabeth Chase?" said a boy's voice

"Yes, that's me," I said and closed the book I was reading: 'The Lullaby'

"I'm Luke Castellan, I come from Cas Studios. I'd like to talk about an offer our company wants to suggest to you. Would you be interested?

I didn't want to be rude and say no. Maybe Campus SS was not going to last much, so I probably needed to be prepared and Cas Studios was one of the best in the industry.

"Yeah, I might be interested," I said and sat the book on the table.

"Great. Can I call you later? I'm sorry but there's a problem I need to solve real quick" Luke said

"Of course," I said

"Thank you, and I'm sorry again," The boy said and I hang up. I sat there continuing with my book when I heard a knock on my door. Some people do really like to interrupt my reading.

I got up and opened the door. As always I said with myself when I saw Percy with a rose in his hands and a bag from his mom's.

"Hey, Wise Girl," He said smiling at me, but looked tired. He leaned down and kissed my cheek. "I haven't sleep tonight. Can I bug you and stay here a little?"

"Come in," I said, "Why haven't you slept?"

"I don't know" he sighted and we walked to the kitchen where we ate the cookies that Percy had bought.

"Another book?!" Percy yelled. I was making coffee while he sat on the couch "It's the third one this week. What is this?"

"The Lullaby, a young adult novel" I answered and sat next to him. "It's about a smart blonde and a dumb black-haired boy who's the lead singer of the band"

"I like it there," he said and placed his head on my lap, closing his eyes "read for me"

I laughed "I can't" he moaned

"Why? I want you to read for me"

"They break up," I said. He opened his eyes softly. I played with his hair while he stared at the ceiling

"Why?" he asked after a minute.

I shrugged. "Being misunderstood"

He closed his eyes again and pressed his body against mine. For the first time in forever, I felt miserable. What if the quote my mom used to tell me before she left did really mean something?

'It's only for now, like everything else~'

My phone started ringing, and Percy, without moving his body, cached it and gave it to me, his eyes still closed. Cas Studios
