Hey guys!
Well, here we are! The second chapter! So my aim is to be uploading once every week, but since I just started high school *gasps and flails around on the floor* I might not be able to upload as frequently, but I'm going to try and pre edit a ton of chapters, so all I have to do is post it! Sorry if the pov's are a bit messed up, I didn't write it very cunningly, so there will be occasions where some of Calypso's pov will be in Leo's, but you lot are smart, so I bet you will eventually figure it out! Now the shout outs. Since there was only one review (THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!) I'll also shout out the favorites! I am grateful for every single person that even so much as reads my fan fic, so don't feel pressured to write a great big review, but it would be great if you could tell how I can improve my writing! *Mentally slaps self* stop rambling!

Connor's POV
On the fourth day Calypso was walking to work, when her ex Connor Stoll appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her waist from behind. She yelped and turned around to face him. He gave her a menacing smile and said "Well well well Calypso. Haven't seen you for ages". Calypso struggled against him, as he dragged her into an alley two shops down from the shop. He fished through her pockets and grabbed a silver chain, with two keys threaded onto it. He grinned, and slipped it over his head, the keys clanking against each other as they swayed back and forth. He pulled a piece of cloth out of his backpack, and grabbed her neck as she proceeded to force her mouth open and shove the piece of cloth in her mouth, and tied it around the back of her head. He also tied her feet up, then picked her up and hauled her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. She pummeled his chest but that didn't achieve anything. He simply grabbed both her hands with his hand and pushed them down. Tears were streaming down her face as he stopped outside the shop, and removed the chain from around his neck. He tried to stick the first key in the lock, but it wouldn't go. He grinned to himself and said "Well, this must be the key to your house then. Very useful".
Calypso's POV
Calypso gulped. He was right. It was the key to her house. Oh, how she wished Leo was with her. Connor turned the key in the lock and pushed. He pulled it out again and slid the chain back around his neck. He found the storage room and put Calypso down and pushed her onto a pile of empty boxes. She hit her head on a shelf on the way down, followed by a groan. Connor knelt by Calypso and pulled her towards him, and started kissing her neck, then her lips. Calypso kept on saying in between sobs "Please Connor, we are through, I'm with Leo". Connor slapped her. Calypso stared at him, stunned. "If you say that again Calypso I will make you regret you ever broke up with me". He slowly stood up, and walked out the door. She heard the key turn in the lock *click*. "I'll be back for you later Calypso". Tears spilled down her already wet cheeks as she pulled out her phone, put the password in and tapped the phone icon. She scrolled down until she found Repair Boy. She tapped on his picture and held the phone up to her ear and heard the dialing tone.
Leo's POV
Leo heard his phone vibrating from one of his countless workbenches. "Gods where have I put it this time?!" He eventually found it and held it up to his ear. "Hey Sunshine, what's up? I'm kinda busy, so it has to be quick" When these words hit her ears her heart sunk. She didn't know what to say. "Sunshine?" Calypso took a deep breath. "Leo?" she whispered. He heard her whisper his name and he dropped his tool, and nearly dropped the phone. "Calypso, what's wrong? Why are you whispering?" She heard Connor walking around the workshop. In between sobs she managed to get out "Connor *sob* kidnapped me *sob* while I was walking to *sob* work, and locked me in the *sob* storage room *sob* and kissed me *sob*" Leo's knees gave way. His girlfriend was being held captive in their own shop, by his least favorite person in the whole wide world. He hated him nearly as much as Calypso's dad, Atlas. "Hang on Sunshine, I'll be there soon". He hung up.
Calypso's POV
Calypso managed a weak smile. Leo, her Leo was coming. However, she did feel bad that she dragged him away from the mechanics course that he had been waiting for ages to go to. But she knew what Connor was like, he would most likely pull either a gun or knife on her later. When Calypso called Leo, it was 9:39am. When Connor came to see her, it was around 2:40pm. Leo's plane had landed half an hour earlier. Since the shop was a 10 minute walk away he decided to skip getting a taxi. He left his bag in the hotel room, because he planned to go back.
Calypso heard the key turn in the lock and stiffened when he walked into the room. He locked the door from the inside, then he tripped over Calypso's foot and landed next to her. After he tied up her hands, he grabbed her neck with one hand and her waist with the other. He felt her shaking under his touch. She started to whimper quietly when he started to kiss her. She tried to squirm away from him, but he tightened his grip, and pulled her closer to his body. She lay there with her body strait as a board, and her eyes wide open, she made no move to kiss back. She heard someone's footsteps, followed by a key slowly turning in the lock. Leo's eyes widen when he sees Connor kissing Calypso. His face turns red with anger. "CONNOR FRICKING STOLL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY GIRLFRIEND?!". "Leo?" she whispers.
Connor's POV
Connor pulled away from Calypso, and retied Calypso's gag. Connor pulled out a small pistol. Calypso let out a muffled scream. Connor pointed the gun at Leo and said with a smile "Well well well Leo Valdez, we meet again. YOU made me look like a fool, YOU took away the girl I loved. You RUINED my life. Now I'm going do the same to you".
Calypso's POV
Calypso felt her face getting damp with tears, as she watched Connor slowly walk closer to Leo. She had to buy Leo some time. She started thrashing around, and screamed as loud as she could through the gag. She met Leo's eye, silently telling him she was alright. Connor turned around to face Calypso, still pointing the gun at Leo.
Connor's POV
"Hey Callie, Sunshine", she winced when he called her Sunshine that was a nickname, that only Leo ever called her. "You will be fine. I'll get rid of this peasant" He motioned to Leo with his gun. "Then we can go back to my place and… hang out". He winked at Calypso, making her cringe, then turned his attention back to Leo, who had a crackling fire in his hands. "Show off" muttered Connor, taking another step towards him. Leo had his eyes glued on the finger that was wrapped around the trigger of the gun. When Connor pulled the trigger, Leo dived to the floor, as the bullet whizzed past his ear. Unfortunately, Connor's gun had 2 bullets left. Connor pointed his gun at Leo again and smiled. "Leo, Leo, Leo, unaware innocent little Leo. You, my friend, are not aware that my gun still has 2 bullets left"
Leo's POV
Calypso's eyes widened again, if that was even possible. She had dragged her boyfriend into a trap. The only person that cared for her was going to be hurt in front of her very eyes. Leo's eyes widened. He opened his mouth to say something. "Caly…". A gunshot rang around the shop. Leo curled into a ball, wincing in pain, his thigh had a deep gash, slowly turning the area around the wound a deep red, from where the bullet impaled his leg. Leo heard Calypso screamed his name, followed by a slap. Then silence. Leo managed to open one eye, to see Connor towering over a shaking Calypso. Her gag had fallen so it was sitting around her neck. She was leaning her head on the wall, with a red hand mark on her cheek. "Connor, please! Do anything to me! Just don't hurt Leo" She pleaded with him. Connor walked over to Leo. He kicked him in the stomach, causing Leo to groan in pain.
Connor's POV
"Don't EVER speak to Calypso again. She is too good to be with a peasant like you. Consider this a warning Leo Valdez" he snarled through gritted teeth. He kicked him again and turned his attention back to Calypso. "Come on Calypso, lets ditch this loser and go to my house". Leo caught Calypso's eye, and he could tell that she was begging him to go along with it. Leo shifted to face Connor, wincing as he put pressure on his leg. "You win". Connor spun around on his heels. "What did you say to me Valdez". "I said you win. Take her." A smirk appeared on Connor's smug looking face. "Well, Valdez, it seems like you have come to your senses". He picked Calypso up bridal style. She glanced at Leo, and he gave her a small nod and a wink, telling her to go along with it. She looked at Connor and forced a smile, but to him it looked genuine. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He leaned into kiss her, and this time she had to respond.
Leo's POV
Leo turned away, causing pain to flare up in his thigh again. It was to protect her, but it still made him mad to watch another guy touch Calypso, especially her ex, the guy he hated. Connor pulled away and smiled. Not as nice as Leo's smile she thought. "That's my girl". Leo clenched his fists, but he knew that he was helpless. Connor set her down and grabbed her hand, lacing his fingers through hers. Connor hadn't noticed that Calypso had pulled the key out of the door, and slipped it into her pocket. Leo felt a wave of hope rush over him. At least Calypso could lock Connor in the office until the police came. She sent Leo an apologetic look, feeling so so sooo guilty. She knew that Leo HATED Connor. Hated with a capital H. Calypso made sure that when they walked past Leo, she was closest to him, so he wouldn't get hurt again. They walked into the office. Leo heard more kissing, followed by a jaw rattling crack and Calypso yelling "AS IF I WOULD BE DRAWN IN THAT EASILY CONNOR STOLL. LEO IS A WAY BETTER BOYFRIEND THAN YOU COULD EVER BE". Leo smiled to himself. Calypso appeared sweet and innocent on the outside, but she also had a fierce side to her. He heard the key in the lock, followed by Calypso running over to him kneeling by his side.
Calypso's POV
She gripped his hand, a single tear running down her cheek. He reached up and wiped the tear from her cheek. "Gods Leo, I feel so so so so soon guilty that you had to see that. I just couldn't bear the thought of him shooting you again". Calypso lay down by Leo's side and stared into his eyes and sighed. She lay on her back and pulled out her phone. "Whatcha doing Sunshine?" asked Leo. Calypso shot him a playful glare and replied with "I'm calling the ambulance for you" she tapped him on the nose, "and I'll call the cops on Mr Stoll over there". She waved her hand in the direction of the office, where Connor lay unconscious on the floor. Once she had called the ambulance and the police, she gave Leo a massive hug. She felt her eyes tearing up again. "I'm so glad you're not really badly hurt" she mumbled into his chest. She could feel his arms tightening around her. "Hey, I'm not going to die on you" he said as he looked into her eyes, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She kissed him and smiled. "That was much better". They were about to kiss again, when they heard banging from the office. Leo and Calypso exchanged glances, and Calypso sighed as she got up. "CALYPSO GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW". She walked up to the door and said sweetly "What's wrong Connor?" she fluttered her eyelashes, making Leo explode into a fit of giggles, because he was watching. Silence followed by "SHUT YOUR FACE VALDEZ". That didn't achieve anything, it just made Leo's face turn even redder, if that was possible and made his giggles shorter higher. Calypso stole a glance at Leo, and had to stuff her fist in her mouth to stop herself from having the same reaction as her boyfriend. She heard something bang at the door and whisper loudly "Calypso, you will regret this". She looked at Leo, his face wasn't as red as it was before, but there were tears running down his face as he tried to stop the uncontrollable laughter that kept escaping his mouth. He was still rolling around on the floor, wiping the tears off his race when they heard police sirens. Calypso ran over to her boyfriend and started fanning him, muttering "the cops will think you're on drugs, cause you seem in pretty high spirits for someone who just shot".
Leo's POV
Leo snorted at this remark. Calypso gave him her ultimate glare. That made him shut up. She heard voices outside, and 2 armed police men walked in, and immediately came over to Leo and Calypso. "Ma'am, could you please explain what happened here?" asked police #1, meanwhile police #2 was inspecting Leo's wound. Calypso explained her side of the story to police #1, while Leo explained the other half to police #2. When the ambulance arrived, both the policemen went to put Connor in hand cuffs. Leo had to be admitted to hospital, because the bullet hit a major artery in his leg. Both of their eyes widened when they heard this. One of the medics turned to Calypso and said "Does he have any family that can come and speak to the doctors at the hospital?"
Calypso's POV
Calypso nodded and replied with "Does girlfriend count?" The medic nodded, and went to join the other medic in getting a stretcher for Leo. They heard Connor screaming abusive things directed to them from outside. Leo looked at her and grinned. "What?" Leo's grin grew even wider. "I get to ride in ambulance! Wee woo wee woo!" he lisped in a childish voice, he took ages to pronounce ambulance. Calypso giggled. Leo could make even the most serious of situations funny. Calypso had very good hearing, and heard the medics shutting the ambulance doors, they had all the stuff they needed to treat Leo's wound. Calypso sat down next to him and gave him a kiss. "Might not get to do that for a while" they both smiled at each other. Moments later the medics came in with a stretcher. They rolled Leo onto the stretcher, the medics rolled him out, the police car was still there.
Calypso's POV
Connor's face was pressed up against the glass watching. The cops weren't paying attention, so Calypso lifted her middle finger at him. His face quickly disappeared from the window. She grinned. Leo would die when she told him what she just did. She hopped up into the ambulance, sat down by the stretcher, and grabbed Leo's hand, intertwining her fingers in his. She looked to where the medics were, and noticed that there was glass between them and the drivers. She broke out in a mischievous smile. Good! She could tell him. "So… the police car was still there when you were being put into the ambulance…"
Leo's POV
Leo looked at her, with a confused look on his face. "and?" he prompted. "Well, Connor had his face pressed up against the glass, gods it was funny". Leo's face was blank for a few seconds, then his face broke into a smile. "That's Connor for you though". Calypso's smile widened. "Yeah, but that's not even the funniest part. The cops weren't looking, so I pulled the finger at him!" Leo looked at her for a split second, and when into a fit of snorts and giggles. "Didn't know you had that in you Sunshine!".
Calypso's POV
She punched his shoulder lightly and smiled at him. He was nothing like Connor. He was goofy, smart and funny. He understood her jokes, when Connor didn't. His smile was enough to make her forget anything bad that had happened. And his eyes! Gods they were amazing They were like endless whirlpools of knowledge, kindness and humor. Sure, Connor had amazing ice blue eyes, like Jason's, but they were like an empty fish tank. No emotion at all. When they got to the hospital Leo was immediately rushed into be seen by a doctor. Calypso was told to wait outside. She took a seat outside the room, and waited for nearly an hour, before one of the nurses came out to ask about Leo. After she gave the nurse Leo's details, she was told that he would have to get his leg stitched up, before it got infected, meaning that he had to have a general anesthetic. She stared at the nurse for about 3 seconds, letting the information sink in. She was utterly speechless. Another nurse, and the doctor came out. The doctor looked at her and said "You must be Calypso, correct?". Calypso was still speechless, so she just nodded. "Well, Leo has been asking where you were, so you can go and see him". Calypso's face lit up. She jumped up and hugged the surprised doctor. He awkwardly hugged her back. She opened the door to Leo's room.
Leo's POV
Leo turned to face the door. His face was very pale, which was unusual since he had such tanned skin. His eyes lit up when he saw her. She gave him a massive hug. He hugged her back with his left arm. She looked at his right arm and saw that there was a drip going into it. "What's that for?" She asked, pointing to the tube leading into his arm. "Don't know" he replied. "Apparently, I passed out, and that was the 'perfect' time to stab it in". She sat down on his bed and locked her eyes with his. "Leo". "Yeah Sunshine?". Calypso took a deep breath. "This is all my fault". Leo grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "None of this is your fault Callie".
Calypso's POV
She noticed the concern in his eyes. "Yes, it is. I dragged you away from your mechanics course, that I know you have wanted to go to for ages, only to be shot, and watch Connor touch me". As she said that she felt her eyes tearing up. She was the reason Leo got hurt in the first place. If only she had called the police straight away. None of this would have happened. Tears started spilling down her cheeks.
Leo's POV
"I would do anything for you Calypso. I wouldn't forgive myself if you got shot". He reached up his good arm and wiped away the tears that were running down her cheekbones. He smiled at her, through the pain. No matter what they would be there for each other. At that moment, the doctor walked back in. "Calypso, we need to put Leo in the operating theatre now. We are concerned about the amount of blood he lost. We will do some blood tests, and when we have the results back we will decide if a blood transplant is necessary".
Calypso's POV
Calypso's face turned white. She felt dizzy, so she grabbed the chair to steady herself. She felt the world spinning, and heard Leo yelling her name, and the doctor was barking orders to the nurse. Her vision went black.
