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 кабина xP) Travis led our кабина 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, или in Anna's case, taking care of her kids.
"They're ignoring you." A горький 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 день 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. Ты 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 секунда Titan War."

".♫ He broke his own сердце 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 день he left. Can't say I blame her..

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

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

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

Is he..?

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

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

".♫ And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
или 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 Ты are the only exception.
Ты are the only exception.
Ты are the only exception.
Ты are the only exception.
Ты are the only exception..♫"

"He is the only exception." My inner voice said. "He's worth it, Ты 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 Ты wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream..♫"

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

".♫ Ты are the only exception. [x4]

Ты 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 сказал(-а) a loud. The song sang the last few notes then ended. Smiling a tad bit, I started to walk out of my кабина and into the pavilion.

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


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