Annabeth's POV
November 15th, Thursday, 2018
Two Days before Break

I haven't been talking as much these past few weeks. I just put on a mask and worked on my music. Instead of spending Thanksgiving with my family, my label was having me prepare for a concert.

Piper had sent the video of Luke and me to the police and we were waiting for a trial. With each passing day, I buried myself in lyrics and musical notes. Everyone, except for Percy, had tried to get me to talk about what happened that night. Piper and Rachel kept bringing it up and told me to talk to a counselor. They didn't understand that I needed time. Percy didn't bring it up but helped by making me laugh and lifting my spirits by just being there.

I found myself placing my fingers on the keyboard of the music room one day during lunch. Messing around a bit with the beat of the tempo. Finding it, I played out my cue.

(Annabeth)

Found you when your heart was broke

I filled your cup until it overflowed

Took it so far to keep you close (Keep you close)

I was afraid to leave you on your own

I said I'd catch you if you fall

And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (All)

And then I got you off your knees

Put you right back on your feet

Just so you can take advantage of me

Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there

Feeling so high but too far away to hold me

You know I'm the one who put you up there

Name in the sky

Does it ever get lonely?

Thinking you could live without me

Thinking you could live without me

Baby, I'm the one who put you up there

I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)

Thinking you could live without me

Live without me

Baby, I'm the one who put you up there

I don't know why (I don't know why, yeah
yeah)

Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)

Just running from the demons in your mind

Then I took yours and made 'em mine (made 'em mine)
