Annabeth is a famous songwriter and pop star. Although, she doesn't use her actual name. Instead she uses a stage name to get a little privacy. Percy's life is just as hectic as Annabeth's. Except, he's not famous or very popular. He hides behind a mask of joy, but on the inside? He's dealing with so much more than words can explain. What happens when Annabeth decides to take a break from her career to live out her last year at Goode, Percy's high school? -------- 30 Chapters (not including Prologue, Epilogue, or Bonus Chapters) WARNING: Contains swearing, potential triggers, and mature content.

Hazel just wanted to get out of the hospital, Percy was bound to end up there one way or another. Piper wanted real friends, Annabeth didn't have any at all. Frank wanted to go home, Leo wanted to be far away from it. Thalia was hurting too much, Jason wasn't hurting enough. And Nico? Nobody knew about Nico. Nothing at all. You know what they say, You always have what other's don't.

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.
