Hey guys. New oneshot! I think I'll be sticking to my oneshots for a while, but feel free to read my chapter stories and shoot a few ideas my way. This one is a little on the Jeyna side, but I don't really ship Reyna with Jason... But anyway, enjoy.

Reyna POV

Beep...Beep...beep

The monotonous sound of my alarm clock wakes me from my slumber. I groan and curse in Latin and Spanish. I trudge out of bed an start to get ready for the day. As I was braiding my hair and strapping on armor my mind slips into nostalgic thoughts about Jason.

Today would be yet another day of doing this job on my own. Yet another day of long senate meetings and Octavian yelling at me. Yet another day of doing a job meant for two...

Dammit Jason, why'd you leave me when I needed you most? I can't do this alone. We were supposed to be doing this together! As these thoughts course through my mind, anger and frustration builds up in me. I get so mad that I punch the mirror in my bathroom. I cry out in pain and break down, sobbing while holding my injured hand.

My eyes catch my reflection in a shard of broken mirror. I take in my vulnerable appearance. My eyes are red from crying and my face is tear streaked. I look like some Venus kid who just broke up with her boyfriend... Pathetic.

I, Reyna Avilla Ramirez-Arellano, don't cry. Especially not about a boy! I am the Praetor of New Rome and a daughter of Bellona. But then the rational part of my mind decides to speak up and says 'You're still a girl, y'know. And girls cry from time to time'

I get up and wash my face with my uninjured hand and bandage the injured one. I straighten my armor and cleaned up the mirror shards. Then, I step out of my villa to face the day. I need to be strong and not give up hope that Jason will return to New Rome. To me...

There you have it. Kinda short, but its something. Leave a review and make my day?

Till next time
