Chapter 1

Don't You

Annabeth's POV

I groaned loudly as my phone rang, already suspecting who it was. I rolled over to grab the phone and rolled my eyes, I hated being right at the moment.

"Yes Piper?"

"Also a good morning and a hello Annabeth." Piper answered over the phone. I just rolled my eyes again, really not in the mood for this. "Yeah, yeah hello, good morning. You just woke me up."

I thought that she was going to apologise or some sort of remorse to ruin my only free day of the week, well I was free on Sunday, but I mostly worked then anyways. But she only replied with, "Well okay, too bad for you. I have a great plan for us for tonight. And I really want to go with you since we're best friends and all."

"I've rolled my eyes a hundred times already and we are not even talking too long." I remarked.

"Okay, so you know this band that I really like?"

"You like more bands-" I began, but Piper already interrupted me. "Yes, I know. But I am talking about that band that I showed you lately 'Demigods' are they called. With those cousins and the mythology."

"Oh yeah. Not really my style though."

"Whatever that was just one album. And I found something out about them that not many people know. They play at little bars most of the time when they have not tours. And a friend told me that they are playing at a bar here tonight. So if you haven't already guessed it-"

"We're going." I finished for her. "But you can better change it to you're going since I am not going. I can't tonight I have to work."

"Annabeth come on! Architecture can wait! I can't! And I really wanted to go with you so you can't ditch me. We can grab some dinner first. I don't take no for an answer, so is it good if I'm at your house at 7?"

"Piper-" I started, but it was hopeless since Piper had already hung up. I sighed deeply, maybe this would be good for me. I hadn't gone out since Luke and I broke up which was over a month ago. I hadn't really been in the mood to go out after that and focused on work.

Luke was a good for nothing guy anyways. I'd had the biggest crush on him while I was in college as he worked in a coffee shop. I was 21 at the time and he 26. Maybe a 26 year old working in a coffee shop that wasn't his own was a bad sign, since I was mostly attracted to people who were passionate about his job.

But Luke was an exception. He even quit after we started dating. He wasn't really that nice either. He became very possessive and after two months of only fights and trouble I broke up with him which surprise surprise he didn't take very well either.

I counted to three for motivation and stood up shaking the thoughts about my stupid ex-boyfriend away.

After a shower and breakfast I sat down at her desk and opened her laptop, planning to work. But as I was doing some research for a new building I couldn't help but side track and started stalking that band that I was apparently going to see tonight.

"The Demigods" I muttered okay that was kind of a cool name as they named their albums after Greek myths. So it fitted together, nice. I was a sucker for Greek mythology. It was a band that consisted of three cousins, Nico di Angelo, Jason Grace and Percy Jackson.

"Percy?" The name reminded me of her childhood best friend. A guy from a while back that I knew since I was nine from a summer camp they used to go to together. But when we turned 14 I moved away to San Francisco and we lost touch quickly. But maybe it wasn't even him. There could be multiple Percy Jacksons.

So I looked him up with the search "Percy Jackson the Demigods". And yep, it was him. And wow he had gotten handsome. He looked still the same though, the same smile, the same way his hair was messed up and his eyes. Oh God his eyes. How could I have forgotten about him?

Sure it wasn't only about the looks, Percy had had a great personality and I doubted that that would change.

Shit I can't go now tonight. Wouldn't it be creepy or something? Though I really wanted to see him again. He had been my best friend and we'd had the best time when we were younger. Okay they fought a lot back then as we both had a competitive streak, but that was something I loved about us.

Yet I had just kinda pushed him out of my mind after a while.

I shook my head a bit confused about all this new information. Had he ever thought about me again? I had the biggest crush on him a long time ago. But I was over that as it was nine years ago.

I watched a few interviews of him an hour long until I stopped myself. What was I doing? This was really creepy. If I was going to see him again after nine years tonight it would be kind of creepy to know everything about him.

"Just focus on work." I told myself. And so I did.

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

Piper banged on my door as I rushed to her. "Coming! Coming!"

But as soon as I opened the door Piper Piper rushed me back in. "You can't wear that!"

"It's fine!" I yelled back. I had just put on some jeans and a sweater but this was not good enough apparently.

Piper threw me a blouse as she walked back into the room. "Here I found this in your closet that's much better."

"Good thing that I'm approved." I told her sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.

"Hey what would you do if I told you that I know the lead singer of the band?" I told her as we walked into the bar after a cab ride.

"No way!"

I explained the story fastly as we sat down at a table. They were already sitting there, we could see them well, but weren't in sight either.

They just finished playing a song and muttered something to each other before beginning to play an intro of another one.

"Hey! Hi for everyone who just came in nice that you joined us tonight." Annabeth melted at the sound of his voice.

"Okay so about the song. So I wrote it a while back when I was 15. It was for this girl that I was madly in love with though she didn't know I think. She was actually my best friend before she moved away when I was 14."

"Oh my God." I muttered as they started the song.

Say, wasn't that a funny day?

Gee you had a funny way, a way about you

A kind of glow of something new

Sure, I'll admit that I'm the same

Another sucker for a game kids like to play

And the rules they like to use

Don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel for you?

The sun telling me the night is done

Well I refuse to let it stop our fun

Close your eyes, we'll make it dark again

And kiss, there's a thought so how 'bout this?

Let's pretend that both our lips are made of candy

After all we need sweets every now and then

Don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel for you?

Percy's eyes found mine and his breath hitched for a second. He didn't tear his eyes away from me nor did he.

Well here we are two strangers in a very different place

Who knows what will happen to us next?

Here we are with nothing but this little spark

It's too cold outside to lay this fire to rest

Go, how so very apropos

A goodbye just as soon as I said hello

Well, alright, I'll see you later

It's true, it's just a fantasy for two

But what's the difference if it all could have been true?

I guess this is better

Don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel for you?

Oh, don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel?

Don't you want the way I feel for you?

Don't you want the way that I feel for you?

Percy had stared at me the whole time. And didn't keep his eyes away as they started another song and another and another until it was the end of the night.

Percy rushed to me as he enveloped her into a hug without saying anything. I was kind of surprised but hugged him back anyways.

"You're Annabeth right?" He muttered making her laugh out. "Yes it's me."

"God I haven't seen you in ages." He detangled himself from me. "Okay I need to get back for a bit but if you stay maybe we can catch up? If you want though. Oh hi by the way." He focused on Piper and shook her hand.

Piper was speechless for once and only mumbled a hi back.

"Yeah sounds great Percy. See you in a bit."

I sighed and sat down excited to catch up with him.

A/N
So... this is a rewrite so I'm in the middle of rewriting and the story doesn't really add up right now. Personally I think this is a better version but let me know please!
And the song is "Don't You" from Darren Criss it's in the video above. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
