Hey! Well, this is my new story, Terrible Things. I hope all of you guys will enjoy reading this chapter, and of course the story. I'll stop talking now, so you guys can actually read this chapter...haha...

Disclaimer: I'm a fangirl who owns nothing, not the author of PJO and HoO. :P

Percy's P.O.V

Hey, this is Percy Jackson, and I'm here to teach all of you guys a lesson in life...you probably already know who I am. A senior, captain of the swim team, and the most popular kid in school who has all the girls in Goode High wrapped around his finger...

Seems like a pretty good life so far, huh? Well, life isn't always like that. It doesn't work that way. Things-or people-that matter the most to you, can leave you forever.

Life isn't a fairytale, where you fall in love and live happily ever. Life is when you recieve something that you cherise, and if you cherish it more than you should, it gets taken away.

Now, all of you guys are probably wondering, What is this guy talking about?, or maybe, Why is he feeling or acting this way?

I have two words for you.

Annabeth Chase.

The "nerd" of Goode High. The one who got straight A's since kindergarten, and has never gotten below an A in her report card her whole life. The one with curly blond hair that reaches down her back, and intimidating gray eyes that always use to light up whenever she talked about Architecture.

And, also the outcast of Goode High.

No one ever would've thought me and her would even been seen together, let alone be together...but, we were.

It was the best times of my life. I've never felt so free or alive. We were polar opposites that found a way to be together, despite whoever said something about us...despite the "status quo", as everybody says.

But nothing good lasts forever, as I learned, the hard way...

Everywhere I go, she's there. She's everyone I see. 2 months already passed, and I still can't sleep.

People say I'll feel fine eventually, but I know that this wound will never heal...

Because I remember everything.

From our first kiss, to the first time we fought, up until the last time we saw eachother.

I can't escape the memories. I once promised myself I'll remember them up until the day I die...and now I'm paying for it

I had too much time to think about the memories, and it's killing me.

It's endless.

I keep asking and asking, beggind, for someone help me.

Please.

Somehow, someway, the memories convinced itself to tear me apart. And I'm sure that it's going to succeed before long.

And maybe it already did.

All I'm trying to say is...

Just don't fall in love.

There's too much to lose.

And if you're ever in a situation or moment where you're given the choice to be in love with someone, walk away.

As quickly as you can.

I can't bear the same thing to happen to you.

And I'm only here telling you this because life...

Can do terrible things.

And it all started when Mr. Brunner, my English teacher, asked me to stay after-class.

So...how was this chapter? Good? Bad? Fine? This story is all going to be in Percy's P.O.V, but sometimes there'll be Annabeth's...I decided that every chapter I write is going to be based on a song. This chapter was based on two songs; The Memory and Terrible Things by Mayday Parade. I know that this chapter was short, but I needed the start to be like this. I promise you that the other chapters will be longer. Anyways, I hope you loved this chapter and...Please Review? Haha...bye! PLEASE REVIEW! :)
