Alex's PoV

I looked around my cabin. Dark and empty. The way it looks when everyone was at breakfast. I just....wanted to be alone for once, I guess. Normally I never ate breakfast, anyway. The only reason I went was to see my friends. (And because I'm head of our cabina xP) Travis led our cabina instead. What freaked me out was that I didn't even care. Didn't care that Travis was doing my job. My friends...everyone was on vacation seeing someone, visiting someone, o in Anna's case, taking care of her kids.
"They're ignoring you." A amaro voice in my head said.
"No they're not," I thought back. "They would never do that."
The sad thing was...I didn't really convince myself. I jumped off my bunk, onto the wooden floor below. My lighter fell out of my hoodie pocket. I sighed and picked it back up. Taking a sparkler out from under my pillow, I lit it and waved it in the air, unenthusiastically.
"What a special giorno for me....." I sighed.
Something shiny caught my eye. My iPod was lying at the end with a note on top. I picked up the note, cautiously. Like it was some kind of explosion.

Dear Alex,
I stol-..I mean 'borrowed' your iPod. te dont mind, right? Anna made me give it back. Your welcome. Oh and the twins accidentally deleted all your songs. My bad.
-Conner

"Conner I'm gonna kill you!" I yelled out the window. Some Aphrodite girls looked at me like I was some freak. I glared at them. They scurried off towards the pavilion. I leaned against my bunk. Nothing seemed to be going right today. Upset, I picked up my iPod and put in my headphones. Expecting nothing to happen, I pressed shuffle. A song started to play. Not just anything song either. A Paramore song was the only one left. I laid down on the floor and stared at the ceiling, as the song started to play.

"♫When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.♫"

I only saw my dad cry once. During the secondo Titan War."

".♫ He broke his own cuore and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it..♫"

'I closed my eyes. Luke's death....he died a hero.

".♫ And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget..♫"

My mother was never the same after dad left us. She swore that she would never forget the giorno he left. Can't say I blame her..

".♫ And that was the giorno that I promised
I'd never sing of Amore if it does not exist..♫"

I used to think Amore didn't exist. But now....I'm not so sure.

".♫ But darling,
te are the only exception.
te are the only exception.
te are the only exception.
te are the only exception..♫"

Is he..?

".♫ Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that Amore never lasts..♫"

It usually doesn't. Unless it's in fairytales..

".♫ And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
o keep a straight face..♫"


".♫ And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness..♫"

That seemed like the answer. Running when something was bothering me. But...maybe it isnt. Maybe being alone isn't the solution.

".♫ Because none of it was ever worth the risk..♫"

What's life without risks?

".♫ Well te are the only exception.
te are the only exception.
te are the only exception.
te are the only exception.
te are the only exception..♫"

"He is the only exception." My inner voice said. "He's worth it, te know."

".♫ I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here..♫"

How do I know if it wasn't a dream?

".♫ I know you're leaving in the morning
when te wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream..♫"

When te leave..don't forget about me..

".♫ te are the only exception. [x4]

te are the only exception. [x4] "

"And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing. .♫"

"Maybe it was all in my head." I detto a loud. The song sang the last few notes then ended. Smiling a tad bit, I started to walk out of my cabina and into the pavilion.

"You are..the only exception." I whispered softly.


(I know it's cheesy. Sorry for my boredom :P)
