AN. This story is from Hazel's POV, she is on my top five favorite characters in PJO, hope you like my story. SPOILER! SPOILER! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ MARK OF ATHENA!

Coffee.

The ship took off. On the deck, my hair flew behind me as I thought about our time on the rock. The way he looked at me, the way we talked. We were so close; I almost let my lips touch his when I remembered that I am with Frank. Frank, he'll never forgive me. I just feel so different ever since I saw Leo's face appear on that piece of paper. He looked so much like Sammy. Ever since that moment on the rock, I realized that he is not Sammy, and yet...I feel something deep in my heart. And even though I now know that he is actually Sammy's great great grandson, I think I still care about him - Leo. I put my head in my hands and sighed. My emotions got the better of me when I found myself walking up to where Leo was steering the ship and sat down beside him. I put my head on his leg and just sat there. Frank was in his cabin, and I hoped that he will never learn of this moment.

I look into his eyes from where I'm sitting and lose myself in a mix between sobbing, mumbling, and sighing.

"Are you okay?" Leo asks, looking down at me concernedly. I like that he actually listens to me, it seems like he keeps more of an eye on me than any of the others.

"I don't know what to do, I feel so stupid, and no one will actually listen to me. Piper is too caught up trying to get somewhere in her relationship with Jason, Annabeth and Percy are too stressed, Jason doesn't even know me very well, and this would be a big step out of Frank's comfort zone" I say.

"Ah...you wanna talk?" asks Leo.

"If you don't want to, I guess I'm fine" I say wiping my nose.

"I'm fine, spit it out gold girl" says Leo.

A tiny grin appears on my face.

"Okay flame guy; I miss Sammy. I really like Frank but he isn't like Sammy or like..." I cut myself off before I can actually say you. I put my head in my hands and silently let tears flow from my eyes onto the floor.

"Or like who?" Leo smiles.

I look up at him, and think for a moment. "I think you already know the answer."

"Hazel, I don't know who Sammy is, but if you want, I can be him for you" Leo says and I feel the tears spilling from my eyes again.

It reminded me of when Sammy and I were sitting outside of school, and he took my hands in his and said "you know, I can be anyone you want me to be, I would do anything for you Hazel."

All I said was 'ditto" and we walked off because the school bell rang.

But before we had to leave for our different classes he said "I don't want you to be anyone but you, I like you exactly the way you are."

"Oh please don't cry, I don't know how to deal with that" says Leo.

I wipe the tears from my face and shut my eyes tight until all the tears have left my eyes.

"Sorry Leo, I'm just remembering something" I say.

"Don't be sorry, you are going through a tough time" Leo says.

He lets go of the wheel and sits down beside me, taking one of my hands. He pulls me to my feet.

"I didn't want you to miss the sun going down; it's almost as beautiful as..." I see that he cuts himself off and coughs awkwardly.

I grin, "almost as beautiful as what?"

He looks at me in the eye. "I think you already know the answer."

I laugh, "thank you Leo, you really are a good guy."

"Well, I don't know about that" Leo says smiling lightly.

"Then you're the only one" I whisper.

I look at the sky and gasp.

A reddish-brownish color makes an arc around a mix of purple and pink and orange. At the bottom of most of the clouds a dark purple color was making its way to the bottom of the sky, separated by a light orange. The beautiful range of colors makes me feel somewhat happy, in spite of all the feelings I'm having.

At the end of both sides of the sunset, there are blue colors that seem to be moving like the northern lights. I have seen the northern lights before, I moved to Alaska for crying out loud, but I had never seen them like this.

It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen in my entire life, and Leo said I was prettier.

The only thing I can say is one word.

"Oh."

Leo puts his arm around me, and only then I realize I'm shivering.

"I don't want you to get sick" he says.

"Thank you Leo" I say.

"You're welcome, gold girl."

We stand there with his arm around me until the sunset is gone. He looks into my eyes again and says, "I know one goat who I don't want to get into trouble with."

"Okay...I guess I'll see you later flame boy" I say as I walk down to the stairs and down to my cabin.

My heart pounds as I hear someone knock on my door.

I hear Leo's voice.

I feel relieved that it isn't Coach Hedge or Frank. I let Leo in.

"I almost forgot something" Leo says as he plaints a kiss right on my lips and wraps his arms around me. We just stand there, until I can barely keep my eyes open and Leo leaves me.

"I love you, gold girl" he whispers in my ear just before he leaves.

"I love you too" I say. He grins and walks up the stairs

I sink onto my bed and think about my feelings.

My heart pounds so fast, do I like Frank or do I like Leo?

I don't think about it long because in spite of all the confusion I'm feeling, I drift off to sleep. I don't wake myself up to change; I don't wake up to use the bathroom. I just let sleep overtake me so I can have a clear head tomorrow to know who I like, and who I should be with.

Leo or Frank? Leo or Frank? Leo or Frank?

Leo...Sammy...Frank...Leo...Sammy...Frank...Leo. Yes, Leo, I love Leo...

The end!

AN. Okay, I really ship Lezel and I deeply believe that they'll get together. I am writing this because I have been thinking about it ever since I read the first page of Mark of Athena! Please review. I am going to put up another chapter, and this time its the same seen but from Leo's POV!

Coffee.
