Jason POV:

I was jealous. I know, that sounds pathetic, and how in the world can I, the mighty Jason Grace, the Praetor of the First Legion, greatest hero in the Roman Camp, and the defeater of Krios. I'm, like, invincible to most people. I was always kinda cocky about it, and took it for granted. I thought that no person could ever be greater than me other than the Gods.

Then I came to Camp Half-Blood.

And heard of Percy Jackson.

Percy Jackson was the humble hero. Not just any hero. A hero of Olympus. He has defeated too many monsters to fight, and I mean, not just like tons of dracaena or empousai, (well, he has defeated countless of them too) I mean like the Minotaur, and Medusa, and several others. He bested Ares in a sword fight, and has been in and out of the underworld with out dying. He bathed in the River Styx without combusting, and defeated Kronos. The Kronos. The actual lord of the titans, Kronos. He's also done so many other things, but I really don't feel like repeating about how cool Perseus Jackson is. Sorry. Not really.

But that just isn't right. Humble and all those accomplishments just don't fit. He cannot be as humble as people at the Greek camp describe him.

I personally think people are just missing their hero and are taking it easy on him.

I know I shouldn't think that, but I can't help it! People had to be lying about this guy.

I sighed and walked out of my cabin. As I walked through the wooden hallway to the stairwell that led to the main deck.

I pushed aside the Percy thoughts and thought of Piper and Reyna. I really didn't know what to do. Piper's my girlfriend, there is nothing I'm gonna change about that. But I don't want to hurt Reyna's feelings, cause if I remember correctly, we could've easily been a couple but then I disappeared. I still want to be her friend, but just her friend. I love Piper, and don't even think about changing her with someone else.

I reached the main deck and spotted Annabeth leaning on the railing.

Annabeth, I could easily tell, did not sleep very well at night. She almost never ate, and I don't think I have seen her smile. Of course, I have seen her smiled, but I mean, it's always a forced and fake smile. Never a genuine one. Now that I think about it, I don't think I have ever heard her laugh. She's almost never happy. Always somber and sad. But that doesn't make her any less fierce. She still could have a temper that could match Ares' if you told him his tunic looked girlish.

And all of this was because of the disappearance of Percy Jackson. I guess she must really miss him, and love him. How could she love such an arrogant and stuck up person? Woah there Jason, I told myself. You have never met him, and you are saying that he is arrogant and prideful just cause you want to think that so you can be right? Was that it? Did I want to be right? To prove everyone else that they were wrong about Percy cause I was jealous that he might be a better hero than me?

I took a deep breath and walked over to the railing.

"Hey," I said simply to the blonde.

She responded with a nod. We just sat like that for a while, staring at the sunset.

Then she said, "Are you worried?"

"What?"

"Are you worried?"

"About what?"

She looked at me. "Jason, you are going back to your home, the Roman Camp, and apparently they are pretty strict, so you don't know if they will welcome you back, especially because you are coming home with Greeks, the opposite of the Romans, you need to be the first one out to convince them to not kill us, and then you will probably have to be the bond that binds the two camps together. And to top it all off, you're girlfriend is Piper, and it seems like you and this Reyna girl were pretty close, so she is probably gonna be really mad. What are you gonna do about that? Do you think you can handle this all? Do you need my help?"

I know she was trying to help, but she basically had just named off everything that I had been stressing with and trying to hide, and now she doesn't think I can handle it all.

I got mad, "I think you have enough of your own problems. What about Percy? What if he doesn't remember you? Or has a different girlfriend. I think you should stick to your own problems, Annabeth." I said coldly.

I instantly felt bad as I saw a tear slide down her cheek and she looked away. I tried to imagine how she felt, and I just couldn't imagine it. I felt horrible that I had brought all that up, cause she has probably been worrying about that for the past 8 months.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean... I... He will remember... sorry." I mumble pathetically.

She sighed. She gazed at a flock of geese for a few minutes, then turned to me, and in her eyes, I saw glass. The glass, you could tell, used to be really strong. Now it was narrowed down, and had many cracks. If something happened, they would shatter.

"It's fine Jason. I'm going to bed." She then walked away. I doubt she would get any sleep though.

"Hey Jason! Where's Annabeth going?" I heard a cheerful voice behind me. Piper.

"Hey Pipes." I said. She frowned.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," I said, trying to impersonate her cheerfulness, but she knew me better. She pursed her lips, then grabbed my hand and led me over to a bench. We sat down and she looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Jason, you can tell me, you know."

"I... I know."

She looked at me expectantly.

I took a deep breath. Here goes nothing, I thought. "Piper, you know about Reyna, right?"

She nodded, "Your fellow praetor at the roman camp?"

"Yeah. Well, she and I... that is... us..."

Piper interrupted, "Jason. I know. You two were really close to being a couple. And you are scared of telling her. Don't worry, I know you would let me go. At least, I hope you won't. You wouldn't right?" She added as if a side thought.

I stared at her. "How did you know?"

She rolled her eyes. "I am, kinda unfortunately, a daughter of Aphrodite. I can kinda sense that stuff. But you didn't answer my question. You wouldn't give me up for... for Reyna, right?" She said kinda fearfully.

I looked at her, then leaned down and kissed her softly. It lasted for a couple seconds, then I pulled back and rested my forehead on hers.

"Don't you ever think that I would trade you for any other girl, Pipes," I said.

She smiled and kissed me again. I love this girl, I thought.
