Spotlight - A Percabeth Fanfiction

Percy's POV:

"Hey, Ace! Does Percy here have anything else to do?" Jason asked.

"No...not that I know of.", my manager answered the whining Jason. "Then let's go to your mom's. Wait. Gifts! LEO!!! Give me the popcorn!" Jason demanded. I grabbed the bag of popcorn from Leo's hands. "Hey! Ace got this for me! I was good today, so I earned this. Not you. You made us late." I bragged.

Jason huffed angrily and told the driver to make a stop at the mall first. "I was good too! Give it! Hey!" Leo screamed, trying to reach the bag of popcorn in my hands. Jason was eying my popcorn, so I got one and threw it at his face. "Stop staring, you creep." I teased.

Ace glared at us three. "The last time you threw a popcorn, it took me weeks to clean up. Leo, sit down. Percy, share. Jason, you're 21, not 3.", he scolded. I reluctantly gave them MY popcorn. Leo sat down on his seat. Jason angrily munched on the popcorn I threw at him. "OH. MY. GODS. MR. DRIVER GUY, RAISE THE VOLUME OF THE RADIO, PLEASE.", Jason exclaimed. 

I heard a beautiful song playing. A familiar voice was singing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If By Chance (by Ruth B.) really good song btw go and listen to it

I can't believe it's been all these years
I can't believe I've cried all these tears
My friends tell me I should've moved on
A long, long time ago
But what do they know?
Mm, what do they know?

And I don't mean to be selfish
But my heart breaks every time
That I see you smile
'Cause I know that it's not me
Who brings it out of you anymore

You found somebody new
You put me in the past
I don't even know if our memories will last
But If By Chance it doesn't work out with her
You'll always have a chance with me in my world

I wonder what happens when you hear our song
Do you brush it away or do you sing along?
Do you talk about the future the way we did?
Is there room for me in it?
Oh, is there room for me in it?

And I don't mean to be selfish
But my heart breaks every time
That I see you smile
'Cause I know that it's not me
Who brings it out of you anymore

You found somebody new
You put me in the past
I don't even know if our memories will last
But If By Chance it doesn't work out with her
You'll always have a chance with me in my world

Is it so wrong of me to hope she breaks your heart?
Is it so wrong of me to pray she tears you apart?
And I know that in the darkest part of you
You pray and hope and wish for it too

'Cause you don't mean to be selfish
But your heart breaks every time
That you see me smile
'Cause you know that it's not you
Who brings it out of me anymore

You found somebody new
You put me in the past
I don't even know if our memories will last
But If By Chance it doesn't work out with her
You'll always have a chance with me in my world

Luckily the speaker was right next to my seat, so that I could properly listen to the voice, even as Leo and Jason was fanboying. It was really familiar. "Annabeth's good. Singer, actor, model, and there's news about her writing a book. That's what I call talent. She was like...14 when she released her first song. It exploded. And her manager REAL good. Her dad's Tristan Mclean, which means she's had long training. They're the actual goddesses of the show biz." Ace noted.

So that's why it sounded familiar. It was Annabeth. Jason and Leo agreed with Ace, pure admiration on their faces. "How do you not know them? I knew you were an idiot, but not this much of an idiot.", Leo chimed, looking offended that I didn't recognize them. I really gotta do my research.
