Hey guys, this chapter I would appreciate more reviews (just saying, you know). My tests have finished so I might be able to update more…yay! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, anyways. Sorry but this chapter might be a bit short, as I'm super tired and experiencing writer's block at the moment.

Disclaimer: Nope, not yet, but my 200 elephants reached here yesterday. Now does anyone know where I can find a big, big box *goes to ebay and types in big, big box* in the mean time here's the second chapter

Piper was woken by soft voices, which she could tell were trying hard not to wake her up. As she became more conscious she managed to recognize Drew and Leo's voices. She also became aware of the warm, strong arms that held her while she slept and a heart beating underneath her head.

"…and he's leaving her for that other Roman chick…Rory…Ray…something like that," she recognized Leo's voice mid sentence.

"Reyna, that blond Apollo girl?" Drew's voice came questioningly

"Yeah her. Jason's just going back to the Roman camp, apparently that's what he told her," came the reply

"She's sooooo annoying. Thinking she's better than us because she's a Roman. Even Will can't stand her, and he tries to with everyone. I can't figure out why Jason chose her over Piper."

Piper tried to figure out why her heart hurt so much at each and every mention of Jason, but then the events of the previous day came rushing back to her.

She should have figured it out herself though. The way he barely spoke to her, and was reluctant to do things so minor such as hold her hand and hug her. He had a faraway look in his eyes, which darkened ever so slightly when she came.

As her mind processed the ways in which her heartbreak could have been prevented she became aware of the fact that Drew and Leo's voices had stopped. She felt someone's hand brush away the tears that had leaked from her eyes.

"Piper, honey, are you okay?" she heard Drew asking her.

Instead of making a sarcastic remark like she wanted to about her state, she kept her mouth shut but opened her eyes and locked them with her sisters'. Drew could clearly see Piper's broken heart in her eyes, and Piper saw understanding cross the older girls' face.

But Drew's face was blocked from view as another came into her line of vision. Leo. The one who had stayed with her the whole night, and even let her use him as his pillow, as opposed to his best guy friend who had broken her heart and left her to rot.

"Mornin' Beauty Queen! How are you feeling this depressing, rainy day?" he questioned her injecting an extra amount of brightness and clueless ness in his voice.

Piper wanted to glare at him and tell him off, but as soon as she looked in his eyes, she forgot everything, her name, where she was, and the fact that drew was still in the room. The only thing she was aware of was him. His mesmerizing eyes, his dark hair, and the fact that is strong, warm arms were around him and the way her body was pressed up to his.

Leo in much the same way was speechless when his eyes met hers. Her beautiful multicoloured eyes were shining with tears, which still streamed her face. Her head was still on his chest and in a way she was hugging him back. He forgot that Drew was still in the room, but even though it was there in the back of his head, he didn't care.

In truth, he had been jealous of Jason when he got both Piper and Reyna. Annabeth got Percy back and Nico had gotten Thalia (much to the disapproval of their fathers and Lady Artemis) and Grover still had Juniper. He had always felt like the third wheel in their relationship when he hung out with both his best friends, together.

Yet, here lay the beautiful girl he had first envied one of his best friends for…his other best friend, Piper, in his arms, not Jason's. As he looked down at her, he wanted to tell her what he was thinking. The way he felt about her and everything, when she spoke to him.

"Leo, you're not gonna leave me like…he has are you? You're my friend, I need you here, with me," she said, her gorgeous eyes looking at him like she was about to burst into tears any second. He heard her reluctance to say Jason's name and felt glad. He could feel her warm breath on his face.

Letting out a small, but satisfied sigh at her question he replyed,

"No, Piper, I'm never gonna leave you alone, until you tell me to go,"

And with a satisfied look on her face, Piper left the sanctuary of his arms to give him a big hug…maybe being second wasn't so bad after all.

So please review and tell me what you think. I know this chapter isn't very good, but I tried as hard as I could so…I want your opinion on it. Tell me what you like, don't like, the works. Bye for now

Peace
