Masquerade Ball AU

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was in the back with a white Fox max on, my dress colors of silver grey and white, yet none was stained. He spotted me before I had spotted him.

"You're looking as radiant as the moon malady" He said giving me a raidiant smile.

"Oh please, I pale in comparison to the moon, let alone your sparkling sea green eyes." I said giving him a flirty smile.

"Ah, I doubt my eyes are as lovely as yours Malady. After all the (e/c)s that are blended within your eyes are absolutely stunning." He held my hand to his lips before he kissed it.

"Why you're quite the gentleman Mr?" I asked looking down into his sea green eyes.

"Percy Jackson." He said. "And what would your name be?" He asked. I opened my mouth to speak when a girl ran over.

"Dude, Percy. You gotta see this." The girl said before he was dragged off much to his dismay. I sighed and walked up the stairs hidden behind the food table that led to the balconies. I leaned across the railing as I looked up at the stars, humming a song my mother used to sing. The song I was supposed to sing in a few minutes.

"Hey (Y/N)! It's time!" My host yelled as he ran up.

"Ah yes, thank you, you know what I'll be singing yes?"

"Naturally the Someone Like You." He said with a smile. I nodded and walked past my friend Leo. I walked down the stair, him close by before he grabbed a microphone and led me to the stage.

"Hey guys so my close friend (Y/N) here will be playing a song for me!" he said giving me a wink as he noticed that my gaze had shifted to a certain man with sea green eyes. I walked over to the piano and sat down. I took a deep breath as my fingers silently moved over the keys until I started playing the actual song.

"

I heard that you're settled down

That you found a girl and you're married now.

I heard that your dreams came true.

Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.

I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg

I'll remember you said,

'Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead'

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives

We were born and raised

In a summer haze

Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.

I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg

I'll remember you said,

'Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.'6

Nothing compares

No worries or cares

Regrets and mistakes

They are memories made.

Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you

Don't forget me, I beg

I'll remember you said,

'Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead'.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me, I beg

I'll remember you said,

'Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.'"

I sighed as I stood up with a smile and walked off stage and back up to the balconies.

"You know you're a little harder to follow than someone would think." I heard him say. I turned around to see Percy smirking at me. I gave a small smile.

"Girls who dream big come crashing down. Girls with little dreams soar. My mother used to tell me that." I said with a sigh.

"Tell me about her." He said which surprised me a little but I shrugged.

"When I was younger she was my inspiration to do anything. Especially art and music. She was a kind and gentle woman, despite some of her hard teachings." I said before I looked down sadly. "Then she met my step father, he wasn't a kind man he was a rude hateful man who was often drunk. He often hit her but she never hit back, until he went to hit me. She died that day. He had stabbed her in the back when she was trying to put me to sleep." I stopped there. I noticed Percy was looking down at me with worry. "It's sad I know. But I've come to live with the truth. She's gone and he's in prison for life." I said looking down at the railing. He wrapped his arms around me as I looked at him in confusion.

"What are you-"

"Oh hush." He said, so I did. I sighed and looked up at the stars silently. "You know, You're quite beautiful. Both on the inside and the outside." He said. I smiled softly and turned to face him.

"Then maybe you'd like to see me without the mask on." I said as I gently lifted up the mask. I kept my eyes closed for a second until he took my chin and brought it closer to my face. When I opened my eyes I saw that his mask was off and he kept glancing from my lips to my eyes. I smiled softly and leaned in, kissing him gently. He kissed back as he moved his hands to my waist,but eventually we had to pull away due to lack of air. Then I got a text. When I unlocked my phone He took it from me and started typing things in, so I assumed he was putting in his contact info until he handed it back.

"Your Aunts out front. So I'll text you and we can meet up sometime." He said. I smiled and nodded. I leaned up and kissed his cheek gently before I ran down the stairs to my aunt's waiting car.
