Annabeth wasn't looking for love. Percy wasn't looking for attention. Leo wasn't looking to stay. Piper wasn't looking for friends. Jason wasn't looking for a fight. Nico wasn't looking to be a hero. Thalia wasn't looking to be heartbroken. Frank wasn't looking to move on. Hazel wasn't looking to die, again. Now there's only one thing they're looking for. Surviving. Inspired by the amazing and awesome @Paradise_Loves_Books! Cover by @Always_Loves_Books!! I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON. THOSE RIGHT BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN. I ONLY OWN THE PLOT.

Being a demigod isn't easy. "Family Luke, you promised." It isn't fair. "If anything happens, give that to Nico." It gets dangerous. "There is no throne to Nemesis." Sometimes you have to make tough decisions. Most of the time, it gets you killed. But everyone deserves a second chance. Even if it comes with a twist. They might've been heroes. They might've been Villains. Now they're all just Ordinary. I DON'T OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS. THE ALL BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN, AS CHARACTERS OF PERCY JACKSON. I ONLY OWN THE PLOT LINE.

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
