Leo part 2
Then I noticed something I hadn't noticed before. Hazel was stroking my hair and saying everything was going to be o.k. That it wasn't my fault. I felt like screaming at her for telling me that, but that would make her scared at me and leaving me there with nothing else in the world.
" Hey, look. I know you might be thinking that there is nothing left in the world for you right now, but you do have something Leo. You have hope and your friends. We are all here for each other. There is nothing we can't do together. Like an old friend of mine once told you, you are going to live a great and extordinary life. None like no other. I believed him, and I believe in you. You will always be my hero Leo. Always.'' Hazel said while blushing and looking away.
I had noticed she was blushing and said always. Her voice was ringing in my head like a beautiful melody sung by her. I would always be her hero and nothing would change that. Not even the gods could do that. If I died knowing that I was her hero I wouldn't mind going to the fields of punishment for the rest of my life.
I noticed that we were alone together in the engine room. In the roomed that helped me think and with the girl of my dreams. Sure I had fallen for an evil goddess but this was different. She was beautiful, not hot cute or a chick, but beautiful. Then something overwhelmed me and I said something that I would have never said in a million years.
'' I love you Hazel. I can't get you out of my head. If it weren't for you I would have thrown myself of the ship because I know this is all my fault. You are the thing that kept me going. I know Frank is your boyfriend but I can't take it anymore. I would rather live in the fields of punishments if I wasn't with you. I love you Hazel, I always have and I always will.''
Tears were stroking off both of our faces, I knew I had blown it until she took my hand and pulled me quickly into a hug. Throughout my whole speech diamonds and rubies had been appearing around her. The thing that startled me is that all of them were in the shape of a heart.
'' I was going to tell you later but I broke up with Frank a few days ago. I told him that it wasn't him, that it was me. He knew I was talking about you but he told me he was going to do the same when we arrived back at Camp Jupiter. He didn't want to admit it to himself that he liked another girl because he was in love with me. But things like this happen in life and for the better.'' Hazel said while a few more heart shaped rubies showing up.
