Frank's Pov.~
I've never had much experience with love, the only person I've ever kissed was Hazel. It's always very discerning to see people so comfortable with kissing others because I've never had times like that. Hazel and I had only kissed twice in our month of dating and were starting to go through a rough patch in our relationship. We could never agree on anything and would start a fight that would make everyone on the ship feel awkward. The others knew that we've been fighting except for Leo since he was always busy with repairing the ship or defending it. Leo probably felt the tension on the ship but never brought it up because he was always half asleep at the table during his breakfast and dinner break, he usually skipped lunch.
The others and I had been swamped with defending the ship and Percy and Annabeth had been right next to us. After Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth became restless and were forced more or less (definitely less) to sleep with another person to keep them the least bit sane. Annabeth started bunking with Hazel and Percy bunked with Nico who was very flustered since Percabeth had broken up. After Percabeth broke up it seemed as if Hazel and I were the next couple to split and it seemed as if everyone could feel it coming. I knew it was bound to happen but it didn't hurt less when it finally blew over.
"I can't take it any more! There's always something to argue about with you, isn't there?"Hazel shouted and stepped closer to me just so she could yell my ear off. A group of harpy and venti had just attacked the ship and Hazel was blaming me for accidentally knocking her gladius overboard.
"Can't you just use your powers to pull it back up!?" I yelled with an equal furiosity to my voice that the others gathered around to hear what we're fighting about this time. The only one not there was Leo because Piper sent him away to get to work on the ship.
"It's not just that, we can't get through a simple conversation without starting a fight and making fools out of ourselves." The fight continued and our cabinmates watched on in astonishment. Apparently they never knew that Hazel and I could be so nasty when we wanted. But then Hazel had to bring our fight to a whole new level that left everyone shocked for days.
"It's over! You'll never be as good as Sammy!"
"What? Is that...oh gods...that's just sick!"
"Wait...Frank I didn't mean it like that."
"Well it sure as Hades doesn't seem that way. You're right it's over," I retorted and began to walk below deck. As I descended, I could her Hazel gasp and the others go to comfort her. I don't know why she needed comforting when she's the one who said those heart breaking words. I kept walking, I didn't care anymore about stupid 'love' and Hades knows that I don't need any one else for a long time, but that maybe just denial.
