Speak Now (part one and two)

Me:  Hello demigods!!!!  this is another AU story inspired by Taylor Swifts 'Speak Now'. I just remembered I still haven't written a part 2 to New Campers, do you still wanna see that? Also, am I a bad writer? Anyway, Here's the story.

(annabeth's POV)

"No Piper! I'm not going to Percy's wedding!"

"It's been four years!" my cousin yelled "You need to get over him!''

"Who says I'm not?'' I retorted

"Me, I've seen you stalk his instagram multiple times."

"But he's getting married to Drew Tanaka! My mortal enemy!"

"Don't care, your going."

I rolled my eyes "Fine, but you have to come too."

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

"Why did I agree to do this again?" I grumbled, playing with the hem of my gray dress outside the church

"Because you need to get over him." Piper responded "plus I'm very convincing."

As we were walking in the church, I heard the she-demon yelling at a bridesmaid spilling some water on her dress.

"I can't believe Percy's marrying that brat." I whispered as we walked by

"I know it's almost as if she charmspeaked him into marrying him" Piper joked

I laughed " I mean it's Drew so I wouldn't be surprised."

We sneaked into the altar and my eyes were overwhelmed with bright pastels.  "My eyes." I groaned.

''That'd be Drew's family."

Just then drew's mom, Aphrodite, look over and spotted me.

I whispered a curse.  "I've been spotted"

"Go hide in the curtains" Piper whispered "I'll go talk to her, I'm good with words"

"Your da best"

"I know" Piper said as she was walking away

After a few minutes of hiding I decided to peek outside of the curtains.  My gray eyes ended up meeting his sea green ones and it felt like I was seventeen again, except they weren't filled with joy like they used to be,  they were filled with pain.  I know he, like myself, was thinking about what could have been.  I quickly dart my head back into the curtains before anyone else see's me. I start to think about how it all started.

(flashbacks)

We met In sixth grade. He was a transfer student, who my teacher had warned us that he was being transferred for blowing up a school bus.  So I guess I expected I really buff, angry looking kid but instead I got a shy, scrawny kid (who all admit I had a little bit of a crush on at the time) who didn't seem capable of hurting a fly.  The teacher had him take a sit next to me,  so when I looked over a few minutes later, I saw him fast asleep on his desk with a bit of drool dribbling down on the desk.  I silently smirk to myself  and went back to reading the textbook. When he woke up, I decided to make a good impression.

"You drool when your sleep."

The summer of eighth grade we ended up going to a summer camp together.   Me, Percy, and Tyson were on the same team for canoe races.  The camp director, Mr.D, didn't pay attention much so there was a lot of splashing and hitting people in the heads with paddles (especially from cabin 5).  We ended up winning (thanks to Tyson's excellent rowing skills).  The crowd started cheering when are medals were handed to us and even more when I planted a kiss on Percy's cheek.   I think we both turned a deep shade of crimson after that.

When Percy was fifteen, he flooded the girls bathroom at the boarding school we went to.  I don't know how, but he did.  I thought he was going to get expelled... or worse. When we were at the door of the headmasters office, I was about to punching him but I thought this maybe the last time I'll  ever see him again so I kissed him

''Be careful, Seaweed brain."

Finally on Percy's 16th birthday at camp, I kissed him on the dock.  But we weren't alone,  Clarisse (A/N; I Googled what Clarisse means and are you ready for it....gentle) and the Stoll brothers came out with all the other campers close behind.

"Well it's about time!"  Clarisse yelled "I had a bet with travis that this would happen last year!  Now I owe him twenty bucks!  For that I think we should throw you two in the lake!

So in the lake we went. There we had a quick underwater kiss before coming back up for air. 

''Happy birthday, Seaweed Brain.'' 

Then I remember how it ended.

  We were up late at night watching a meteor shower.  We'd only been dating for about a month.

"I love you."  Percy said.  It caught me by surprise.

"What did you just say?"

"I love you."

There was uncomfortable silence for a moment.  Those words scared me more then spiders and I really hate spiders.  I mean my mom had said those words to my dad the night she left and then the next morning, we find out she fell in love with another guy.  What if percy did the same thing?  Or worse, what if I did that to him?   I saw my father cry himself to sleep like a baby every night for months.  I couldn't bare even thinking of putting percy through that pain.

"Percy,"

"Hm?"

"I think we should break up."

"Wait what?!"

"I mean your going to Manhattan Community College and I'm going to Harvard and long distance relation ships don't usually work out."   Then I just got up and walked away, tear staining my cheeks.

(end of flashbacks)

 I wipe a few stray tears from my eyes. I must remember, past is past. Percy's going to marry Drew Tanaka and I'm going to graduate from Harvard with a masters in architecture.   There's nothing I can do about it.  Or is there?

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Ok I've got a plan.  It's not a great one but it's better then nothing.  The organ starts to play the death march and I peek out of the curtains to see Drew floating down the aisle like it's another one of her miss New York pageants.  

After a whole lot of words that go in one ear out the other, I hear the preacher say "Speak now or forever hold your peace."

Theres my cue.  I come out of the curtains and raise my shaking hand.  I see all horrified looks from everyone but are old friends and Sally Jackson, who has a relived and hopeful smile on her face.

"Percy,"  I said, my voice shaking a little. "remember how when I first met you my first words to you weren't "Hi." or "Welcome to mt. Olympus elementary school." they were, if I remember correctly "You drool in you sleep."?  Or when we won the canoe races at camp? Or our first kiss?  And the underwater kiss?  Do you remember those moments? Cause I do.  I want you to be happy Percy and if you marrying drew... fine.  But I want you to know that I love you and I have beat myself up everyday for not saying those words to you that night.  Now, I'll be at the back door and if you don't come out in five minutes I'll assume you decided to marry your lovely bride to be."  Then I walked out with piper at my heels.  

When we were outside she wouldn't stop taking about how awesome Drew's reaction was.  Just when I was about to give up on waiting for Percy, he came out in blue jeans and a read t-shirt.

"Sorry I'm late I wanted to change. so.. wanna hang out tonight?"

And that was the beginning.  Well the beginning take two.

  

A/N: have a great day!!!
Love,
