{Piper's Story}

It wasn't supposed to end up this way. But when it did, she was so conflicted within herself that it physically made her sick.

And, she supposes, that this mess she's gotten herself into is just one big ball of confusion, conflicted feelings, hurt, abuse and... love.

She started off just loving Jason. Everyday after lessons at camp they'd all hang out. Annabeth was really never there, off with her friend and Percy's older sister Mae.

Piper had lots of fun, they'd go on car rides and they'd laugh and joke around. Winter was the best because everyone got to play around in the snow. Percy and Piper would have snowball fights, while Jason and Nico talked about random stuff. Most of the time, Jason was real quiet, unless he was getting any of his friends out of trouble, or when he was defending Piper.

To Piper, the quietness bothered her, almost too much. She liked being around Percy a lot because she could tell him anything. The only problem was that she needed someone to be there for her as not just a friend, but a boyfriend or lover.

Jason was that to her, though he wasn't that for her fully.

Sometimes, when he wasn't enough, she cried to Percy. It was a selfish cry, though she loved Jason so much she'd never leave him.

Then Annabeth and Percy got married. She was happy for him, but something inside her ached, to her ultimate surprise. Pushing it aside, though, she continued to love Jason with all of her heart.

She got pregnant; then lost the baby at birth. Everyone was devastated, Piper the most.

That was when her and Percy met on the beach again.

This time, when he kissed her, it was different. There was so much passion in the kiss, but hurt and anger mixed in with it. Piper was going to leave; just for a little while.

Then Percy told her he loved her. Gone in a flash, she didn't even have time to reply. This broke her far more than ever before.

She came back to Jason and her other friends, around a week later. Annabeth blamed Piper, calling her a home-wrecker. And Piper barely defended herself, but Nico and Jason did their hardest to make her go away.

Then Nico screwed up his relationship with Thalia; cheating on her, then breaking up with her for some floozy that went off and on with him for several years. It had gotten Thalia angry, angry at everyone, and when Piper confessed the kisses with Percy, it was the last straw.

She went berserk, but promised not to tell Jason. She from then on avoided Piper, and that led the daughter of Aphrodite into deep depression.

She absolutely hated herself.

When had everything gone wrong?

Then, a little over a year later, Piper and Jason broke up.

They admitted they had both fallen out of love; and when Piper came out with the truth of Percy and the kisses, Jason forgave her. But Nico didn't, and never would, he called her a slut behind her back. She knew about it, but didn't care anymore. She gave up on all of them, going back to her own self and sulking.

But then, Percy came back.
