F.Y.I. I'm changing the title but not the cover. It's going to become "Just Happen, Tratie".

----Travis----

Well, let's review the last couple of days. Shall we? I ruined my chances with Katie. We're faking being in a relationship. I think she's ignoring all the clues about me liking her. She hates me more now that we're faking. You know what, hate is a strong word. I bet she just really, really, really doesn't like me.

When I was so completely absorbed in my thoughts, Jason snuck up on me and said, "Hey. Me and the guys are having a karaoke night. Wanna come?"

"Sure."

"It's at 7:00."

++++Time Skip++++

I got to Zeus Cabin at 7:03. Something was up. No one was their usual crazy, annoying self. Percy, Jason, Leo, Frank, and Nico were all trying to act casual. Trying being the key word.

"Hi, Travis," said Percy. He sounded innocent, but anyone who knew him knew that that was the cover for his scared self. He was really cheery for a guy who went through Tartarus.

"Hi?" I replied.

"Okay. Let's pick names out of a hat for who goes first," said Leo.

"Why? I'll go," I question.

"Okay. What song?" asks Jason. Youtube search bar ready.

"Um. How about Breakeven by The Script?"

"Nice," noted Nico. 

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

"Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

"Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first not (I added that. You'll find out why.)
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no

"What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

"They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even, no

"What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
One still in love while the other ones leaving
I'm falling to pieces
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven

"Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break
No it don't break
No it don't breakeven no

"What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK
Oh glad your okay now
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces
One still in love while the other ones leaving
I'm falling to pieces yeah
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven

"Oh it don't breakeven no
Oh it don't breakeven no
Oh it don't breakeven no"

Then I saw Leo with a camera smiling. "Travis, Travis, Travis. We thought we were going to embarass you infront of Katie, it was live, but we just made you look better. Well, that plan backfired."

My eyes went wide, my face got red, and my mouth dropped. Who knows what she was thinking.
