I just thought of this a couple of months ago, I'm not sure if I'm going to turn it into a story or not.

A small warning: This story was initially a cross over between PJO and DP. I was planning of having Percy come in the next chapter. Again I'm not sure whether you guys like it or not.

Well, enjoy.

Danny's POV:

I was walking around town somewhere in Indiana, it's been 3 months since I last saw what I used to call home, why you ask? I remember that weekend as if it was yesterday, the pain, the hurt, the betrayal, it would always leave an empty hole in my heart.

This is how it all began:

Flashback: 3 months ago

It was Friday. The day had started out as usual on a school day, I was to meet up with Sam and Tucker at the bus stop today because we didn't feel like walking.

After I got ready, I went downstairs to make my breakfast. See, my sister Jazz is at college getting her master's in physiology at Harvard, but before she left, she used to make my breakfast because she knew that I would be too tired to do it myself because I was fighting ghost all night, and my parents, well that's another case, they ignore me, never pay attention to me when I needed them the most because they were too absorbed working downstairs on a new invention to even know that I exist, that's the way it's been for many years, why I always relied on Jazz.

But now, I can't even count on her because she's away.

I got out the cereal and milk and started to serve myself a bowl, once I finished eating, I got my backpack and left the house.

On the way to the bus stop, I couldn't help but feel that something wrong is about to happen, but I shook it off and continued walking calmly, my thoughts drifting to Sam, my girlfriend of a year, today was our anniversary, we got together after the disasteriod incident and I felt like the luckiest man in the world to have such an amazing girlfriend.

As I was walking, I was happy to see my friends already there in the distance, however, as I was nearing them, they seemed to be uncomfortable and nervous with me for some unknown reason.

I shrugged that off and greeted Sam with a kiss and Tucker with a fist bump. They seemed to be uncomfortable and nervous with me.

"Okay guys what's going on? Is there something wrong?", I asked, shooting them a worried and concerned look.

"No Danny, nothing's wrong", replied Sam with a reassured smile. I narrowed my eyes to her, I could tell she was lying to me, and I let it slide but I was gonna question it later.

A few seconds later, the bus came and we got on, Sam sat with me with Tucker a seat behind. "Look Danny", Sam said looking at me in the eye, "I'll tell you later okay? It's just hard for me to say it now".

"Okay", I simply said.

It was a silent ride the rest of the way, I tried to ignore that nagging feeling that something seriously wrong was going on, but I didn't' know what.

Later in class, my ghost sense went off.

"Can I go to the bathroom?", I asked in a hurry.

As he was nodding yes, I was already out the door. I ran into a closet nearby and locked the door, I then quickly turned into ghost and phased out of the school to find the ghost.

I was about to shoot at it when the ghost yelled, "STOP! DON'T HURT ME! I COME IN PEACE!".

By that I was very confused, however, I did stop the attack to let the ghost speak.

"Okay, you have a minute to speak, what do you want?", I asked.

"You see, I come here with a warning", he said.

"What kind of warning?".

"Don't trust the one you love the most, for pain you will suffer within", he said.

Before I could ask what that meant, the ghost disappeared, leaving me thinking about that warning, but I didn't put much thought into it as I returned to class. When I got there, it seemed that I was only gone for a few minutes.

I looked over to Sam and Tucker, they shot me concerned glances that said, 'Who was it'.

I got out a piece of paper and wrote out, 'It was only the Box Ghost', and tossed it to Sam who then passed it to Tucker. I lied to them because I didn't want them to worry about the warning that ghost gave me.

Later that day after school, I was going to Sam's house to pick her up for our anniversary. I was dressed in a simple black suit with a blue tie and dress shoes.

I had made a reservation at her favorite Italian restaurant, after dinner I was going to take her to the park for a calm night walk, and finally give her a gift I worked so much for, it was a simple silver necklace chain that had a ribbon like pendant and two gems at the edges, I even had it engraved.

As I was walking, I kept thinking about the warning, it kept bothering me, like something was supposed to happen today, little did I knew, it was only a few seconds away.

I stopped abruptly, there was something at the corner of my eye across the street that I saw and I don't believe is true. I looked at that direction, at the same time I felt my heart turn.

I stared at the sight wide eyed, there was only one thought that went through me, 'Why?'.

I guess that she felt that someone was watching her, she turned to see me across the street and went wide eyed as she realized she had been caught by no other than me. I begun to let the feeling of dread, pain, anger, and betrayal sink into a newly formed wound in my heart. A few seconds later, I just started to walk back home, I saw a trash can nearby and threw the necklace away, making sure that she saw that and continued my way home as I also felt a few tears form that threatened to fall.

'So this is what that ghost meant', I thought.

That weekend I was quiet, I didn't come out of the house for the next 36 hours, I was too depressed. Whenever ghosts came looking for a fight with me, once they saw me, they just had gave me a pitying look and left without another word. I couldn't blame them, I knew how I looked like. I was in my regular white tee and jeans, but they were dirty, my messy raven hair was even a bigger mess, my face was pale, my eyes dulled and filled with sadness and hurt, I had dark circles under my eyes, and I haven't eaten anything at all.

One of those ghosts was Skulker, he saw the state I was in, and flew calmly towards me, he phased through the wall of my bedroom, where I've been locked up for 12 hours so far, and calmly walked towards me, he put a surprisingly comforting hand on my shoulder, "I know what happened, it wasn't your fault, I know I'm not the best person to be telling you this but I know what it's like, once Ember and I fought and she left me for almost a whole year, during that time, I felt incomplete, hurt, and most of all, I regretted that. The only thing I can tell you now is that it will change for the better", he said. Afterwards, he left me alone to gather my thoughts.

I went to sleep hours later thinking about what he said. 'It may change for a better outcome, but who knows what will happen'.

The next morning, I woke up with sore eyes from crying last night. You can't really blame me, can you? I stayed in my room for hours at no end, I didn't move from my spot at the edge of the bed, I suddenly realize that all my pictures with Her were still around the room, so I got up and walked towards the closet to come out with an empty box, I placed the box on my undone bed and begun collecting all the pictures with her in it, and placed them all in the box. Later after I was done, I sealed the box with a roll of duct tape I found on my dresser, I carried the box and placed at the farthest edge of my closet, I left the closet door shut, never looking back at the box.

I hadn't told Jazz about what happened yet, so I decided to call her that evening. The phone was ringing and she finally answered.

"Hello?"

"Jazz?"

"Danny are you okay?", she asked in concern.

'No', I thought. "I'm not sure".

"What happened?", she sounded anxious.

"Jazz", I could hear myself breaking, "sh-she ch-cheated on m-me", I tried my best to keep myself from bursting into tears from all the pain I've endured for the past 28 hours.

She went silent after I finally got the words out. After about what seemed like forever, she finally said something, "Danny, I don't know what to say about this, all I can tell you now is that it's just a small part of life, you need to experience what heartbreak is like and how to deal with it to move on. I have to go Danny. Love you, okay?".

"Thanks Jazz, love you too"

"Stay strong little brother", she said and hung up.

After I talked with Jazz, I felt a lot better than I've been for the past 2 days since it happened. She always knew what to say and be honest about it, I smiled for the first time in 2 days. For the rest of that evening, I stayed in my room, I took a shower and went to sleep. The only thing I dreaded now was seeing her at school the next day.

I woke up early in the morning to do my usual routine on a school day, get dressed, eat cereal, brush my teeth and leave to school.

As I walked to school, I couldn't help but feel miserable but I knew I was going to have to get over her someday. At school, I was surprised that Dash didn't bother me in the hallways or in class because I was so quiet.

During lunch I found Tucker, I was already heading to where he was seated but then I looked towards the person to his right, and I stopped on my tracks holding my lunch, there she was, she seemed even more miserable than I was. She was a total mess, her hair was a mess, her eyes were red from crying and she had dark circles under her eyes.

They were both talking silently, but I could hear them clearly with my enhanced hearing from my ghost powers, they seemed to be talking about me, so I just eavesdropped on their conversation, "Tucker, I just wish Danny never saw that, that I never did that to him", she said.

"Sam, you can't just turn back time, what's done is done, you're only going to have to learn to deal with the consequences, I told you this would happen since the beginning six months ago", said Tucker.

I couldn't believe it, Tucker had known that Sam was cheating on me, yet he never did tell me. I glared at both, they saw me, but I just walked away, more pain and anger just built up inside of me.

'How could they! After everything I gave up for them, yet this is how it all ends doesn't it', I thought furiously. I went alone outside for the rest of that lunch period, yet even feeling more miserable and angry at myself for ever believing they were my friends.

'I have nothing to live for anymore, my parents ignore me, my friend betrayed me, my ex cheated on me, yet the only person to not back stab me is away at college for another semester before I can see her again', I thought miserably.

Later that day after school, I walked home alone, I went into my house, up the stairs, and entered my room.

'I've had enough of all this chaos and pain from everyone', I thought.

I got out a duffel bag from my closet and began packing. I packed shirts and pants, some personal belongings, an army knife that I was given a long time ago, and all the money I've saved since I was 10 years old, I counted the money, it was a total of $450 dollars. I closed the bag and went downstairs to get some canned food to last me for the first month or so.

Once I was ready, I grabbed the duffel bag, quickly put on my jacket, I took one last look around the house, 'I guess this will be the last time I see this place', I thought.

I walked out of the house, closed the door behind me, and walked forward, never looking back.

That's how it happened, but I don't regret anything, at least what concerned them, the only thing I regret was leaving Jazz behind, but I know that she will be fine where she is, the last time I talked to her was two weeks ago, it was to update her on where and how I'm doing because at least I have someone who actually cares about me..

For any of you reading my other story titled 'Father', I'm working on it, I've been trying to make some changes to the recent chapter due to some of the reviewer's concern and make it longer, I should be able to update the new chapter sometime next week, if not, well, it's not that easy getting inspiration.
