I've decided to do a bunch of songfics while I write The Missing Gods. Since it is summer break, I have plenty of free time. I'll be stuck at home for the next three weeks, so I should be writing more and more.
This is a slight songfic for Tear Drops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift. Characters are Piper, Jason, and Reyna. They might seem a bit OOC, but that's kind of the point. Enjoy!
Piper P.O.V

I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want
And I'm needing
Everything that we could be
I watched as Jason talked to Reyna. They seemed so happy together, so in love. They were everything I wanted Jason and I could be. Too bad he was in love with her and not me.
Jason walked over to me and talked. He smiled and told me about everything that was going on. I listened and listened, even though I had no desire to hear about Reyna.
"I swear, Pipes, I think I'm in love," Jason said, looking down at me and smiling happily. I faked a smile back and nodded. I wanted to laugh. I knew he was in love. Anyone could see it by how he almost skips when he walks and smiles more. I could tell Reyna was in love too. She laughs more and smiles whenever he's around. I felt bad for being jealous and wishing it was me.
He doesn't know how much I love him. He doesn't realize that every night, I cry myself to sleep, clenching his picture in my hand. He doesn't realize that every day I see them together, I want to go curl up and cry. It isn't his fault. He's in love; just not with me.
Later, Annabeth saw me walking by myself on the beach. She walked over to me and walked with me.
"Are you alright, Piper?" she asked softly. For the first time, I actually wanted to break down and tell her everything. So I shook my head and looked at her with tearful eyes. She hugged me tightly. It dawned on me that she had felt something similar with Percy and Rachel. She had told me that for awhile, she thought that Percy loved Rachel. But, it wasn't true. Jason really did love Reyna. It wasn't just jealousy; it was the real thing.
I burst into tears. "Shh." She didn't say it'll be alright. She didn't say that it was alright, because it really wasn't. I was in love with a boy who was in love with someone else. I sobbed into her shoulder. It was the first time I had ever thought of Annabeth being more than just someone who needed comfort. Now she seemed like an older sister, a true leader who comforts others.
"Piper, come on." Rachel and Thalia came up to us and the three took my arms and led me away to the Artemis cabin. Hazel joined us and they tried to cheer me up. We had a girl's night in the Artemis cabin. But, after they fell asleep, I took out a picture of Jason, Leo, and I. Tears fell down my face and I looked up at the ceiling. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I wanted so badly to just stop. I put his picture down and hoped to sleep tonight.

Send me suggestions and songs that I should do for couples, whether romantic, sad, angry, etc. I'm thinking about even bringing OCs in, so send me your OCs. Review!
