Wow 18 reviews and I'm only on the 3rd chapter. Thanks so much for the support, guys. Anyway, here's another long chapter in Piper's POV. Oh and if anyone knows/is a willing beta reader feel free to PM me! I'd be awesome if the beta reader read both the HOO series and the Perfect Chemistry series.

Disclaimer: Riordan owns the characters while Elkeles owns the plot, or most of it. The song isn't mine; it's Big Bang's.

Piper

Now what can I do at a party since I just broke up with my boyfriend who is now moving across the country? I make no attempt to grab a beer because I'd really rather not get drunk and get a painful hangover just because of a breakup. I didn't stop to talk to anyone since I don't even know most of these people and those who are trying to get my attention are probably acting this way only because of the way I look. I guess all it takes is a new dress, new hair, some makeup and suddenly everyone acts likes your best friend. The attention makes me so uncomfortable that I can't wait to find Leo and ask him if we could leave now.

Somehow, I find myself on the dance floor and got myself pulled in by the crowd. Too tired to resist, I just start dancing. A random K-pop song is playing and I dance along to catchy beat even though I have no clue what they're saying. I only know from the intro that the band is Big Bang and I'm assuming that the title is "Tonight" because that's all they're saying during the chorus.

"Hey, baby, you look stunning tonight," a creepy masculine voice whispers into my ear. "Why don't you come with me and I'll give you the time of your life."

I turn around, about to tell him that I wouldn't even ask him for the time of day when I see a familiar face with curly black hair, pointed ears and the smile of a troublemaker.

"Ew, Leo, you're such a creep," I smack him hard on his arm and he winces and rub his arm, but the smirk on his face tells me that he's only pretending. "And seriously? 'The time of my life'? Who the heck says that anymore?"

"Shut up, beauty queen, I was just kidding. Why are you out here anyway? Why aren't you making out with Jason in a corner or something?"

I almost completely forgot about the breakup until now. The moment resurfaced in my mind like a slap in the face. My throat tightens up at Jason being mentioned.

"You mean you haven't heard?" I somehow manage to say. He shakes his head. "Jason's moving."

"Noo, our saving Grace is leaving? What's Jupiter High going to do without their star basketball player? We're doomed!" Leo drops a hand dramatically on his forehead and pretends to faint. I don't even bother to try catching him when he falls to the ground.

"God, Leo, I wonder why I put up with you," I try to tease him, but my heart isn't in it. He must have sensed my half-hearted tone because he frowns, looking completely serious.

"But really? Where's he going?"

Back home, away from us. Away from me. Abandoning me. "Back to New York."

"And you two aren't..."

I sigh and shake my head. "Long distance never works out anyway."

"That's true, but don't worry about it. It's not like your life is going to fall apart completely if a piece is missing."

I nod in agreement and try to just focus on dancing. A pretty girl goes up to Leo and his eyes perk up. He's such a sucker when it comes to girls especially ones that are pretty and out of his league. She whispers in his ear and leaves just as quickly as she came. The fire in his eyes dies out in disappointment.

"Drew wants me to check up on the fireworks with some other guys," he explains. Oh, so she wasn't trying to hit on him.

"You didn't even try to get her number?"

"Shut up, Mclean," he says but he smiles at me apologetically anyway. "You'll survive without me, right?"

I nod and try to give him an encouraging smile but honestly, I'm not too sure. This party is bound to be filled with horny, drunk boys that will try to get in my pants. Jason must have already told people that he's moving. Now that I'm single, Jason can't protect me and now neither can Leo. Fine, I'll just have to fend for myself if I have to like I always do.

Having nothing better to do, I wander around the house while avoiding almost every guy that comes in my direction especially drunk ones. I grab a bottle of sparkling water and I drink it casually as I step over schoolmates passed out on the floor. Drew has so many rooms in her house and it's only the first floor. It's not much compared to my house, but I'm still a little impressed. Then again, Aunt Venus expects nothing but the best and as they say "the bigger, the better!"

Most of the rooms are closed and I make no attempt into checking if they're locked or not. One of the few empty rooms appears to be the drawing room. From a distance, all I can see is a couch, some flowers, and satin curtains. My curiosity gets the better of me and I enter the room to look around, thinking that it's empty.

Boy was I wrong. On a couch against the wall is Drew and Jason making out. One of his hands is in her hair and the other is on her back, pressing her closer to him. I was tempted to storm across the room, pry Drew away from Jason and slap her senseless, but then I remember that Jason and I are no longer dating. Instead, I scowl and walk away, but it does hurt seeing them together, knowing that we just broke up a few minutes, maybe an hour, ago and he already hooked up with someone. While some part of me felt disgusted at the fact that he hooked up with my obnoxious cousin, I felt my stomach knotting in pain either from my discovery or my possible baby. I hope it's the former.

I don't know how long I was wandering around, but eventually I bump into Leo again. He gives me a lopsided grin, but it quickly fades when he sees the distraught expression on my face.

"What happened? Are you not feeling well?"

I don't even want to bother him with the details so I say three simple words. "Jason. Drew. Kissing."

He frowns. "Wow, he's either drunk or she forced herself on him because no one in their right mind would kiss Drew willingly."

The image of Jason pressing Drew against him pops in my mind and I feel my throat drying up. "It sure didn't look like he minded kissing her."

"Aw, Piper, don't worry about it. The fireworks are coming on soon and you should enjoy them. You need to forget about Jason since what you just saw only proves that he's a douche that doesn't deserve you."

"But you're his best friend."

"But you're my sister." He grins at me. I smile back at him even though I felt like I was going to cry at any moment. "Besides, you've got nothing to hold him back. It's not like you're pregnant or something."

My smile immediately drops and my throat starts closing up. Leo sees my blanched face and widens his face.

"Wait. You're not...right?" He squeaks out the last word and I'm too scared to talk so I just nod. His face also starts to pale.

"Oh my god. Don't tell me it was during Tristan's photo shoot?"

"Well..."

"You know when I told you guys to get kinky before I left I didn't mean it literally."

"Leo, shh!" My face turns red and I quickly scan the area to see if anyone is watching us. No one is giving us any weird stares so I turn back to face him. "You shouldn't say it so loudly. Someone might hear us."

"Fine, fine. But do you know if you are?"

"I was only thinking about it..."

"We need to leave," he says. I don't argue because leaving is what I wanted to do in the first place.

As we're walking through the crowd, I'm bumping into a lot of people. I only hope that I don't bump into-

"Crap, I'm sorry."

"Oh, hey, Piper."

Jason. God I have the worst luck.

"Are you okay?" he asks. I scoff at him. That must be the dumbest question he could ever ask me after he broke up with me and made out with my worst enemy!

"Why do you care? And why aren't you with Drew since the last time I saw you, you were busy sucking her face?"

He gave me a bewildered look. "You saw that?"

"Oh, don't ask so surprised. I bet I'm not the only one."

"Look, Piper, it's not what it looks like-"

"Save it," I cut him off. Some might say I'm overdoing it but I really don't care. I thought he was different from everyone, but he only proved me wrong. "Just forget this conversation. in fact, forget this whole night ever happened."

I stalk off without turning back when he calls my name. I head straight to the car despite Leo's protests. We pick up Lacey and drive away. While Leo tells Lacey about everything, I stay quiet.

Leo stops by a pharmacy store even though I complain to him and tell him to just go straight home. Unfortunately, both Leo and Lacey agree that I should at least find out if I'm truly pregnant or not. Lacey comes with me while Leo stays in the car since it'd be awkward to buy a pregnancy test with Leo around. People might assume he's the father.

Once we're done and we get home, Lacey practically shoves me into the bathroom and takes the pregnancy test out, reading me the instructions. I pray that I'm not really pregnant. I'll have to stay hidden to avoid paparazzi. I really don't want to see the next headline in magazines as "Tristan Mclean's Teenage Daughter Pregnant!". It wouldn't be as horrible if only Jason were with me, but since he's not, I don't know if I can handle it if I'm pregnant.

I think the reason I told Jason to forget about it is because that's exactly what I want to do. But I know that I'll never be able to forget it at all. I won't ever forget how Jason let me down when I needed him the most.
