Author's note: this is a one shot that I had to write. May write a reunion scene in the near feature.

Reyna's POV
As the Argo II landed, the air seemed to shift.
First, I was joyous and excited to see Jason, my almost boyfriend. Then, I realized: it'd been eight months, and he'd lost his memory.
But Percy remembered Annabeth, so there was a smidgen of hope in me. But Jason and I hadn't been like that.
Maybe, just maybe though,
But maybe he'd found another pretty girl.
A group of tough-looking kids wearing full battle armor and bearing swords and daggers walked off first.
Then a curly-haired kid walked out, not wearing armor, but looking like he'd been in a couple of battles.
Then, a pretty blond girl wearing an orange shirt and jeans walked out. She walked like a leader. I thought she would have been a child of Venus/Aphrodite, but I must've been wrong.
Percy practically flew from my side to greet this girl, who immediately started crying.
Huh, beauty and brains. That didn't happen often.
Then, Jason. Jason, Jason, Jason. We'd maybe been something.
I almost cried out off happiness. But I straightened myself out and reminded myself that I was a warrior, here on business.
He walked off slowly, followed closely by a pretty girl, who I hoped had just gotten off late.
"Jason!" everyone from our camp shout-chanted.
He stopped walking in front of the crowd, said something to the girl who walked behind him, and he continued walking, and the girl remained.
He stopped in front of me at an awkward distance
"Reyna, right? Well, this is an awkward thing to ask, but were we dating?" he asked, sounding very uncomfortable.
"Well, sort of, but…" I replied.
"Well, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but… I'm with someone else."
My heart sunk to earth's core.
I thought I could handle it, and control my emotions and tears.
I was wrong.
When I looked up, he was gone, disappeared in to the crowd. I felt a tear running down my face.
No one could help me now.
This was one battle I could only fight alone.
