Chapter III

Juno

Three Ms- Mom, a Musician, and a Mystery

My mother nodded, but she refused to speak.

"Mom, you- you haven't contacted me in months! Why now?" I tried not to sound mad at my mom, but honestly- what kind of parent drops their kid off at some camp, leaving her an orphan, for thirteen years and- sorry. I'm getting off topic.

Anyway, Mom watched me sadly and started to speak. Well, actually, I heard her voice, but her lips weren't moving.

My dear, she said in my mind. I have tried, but Lord Jupiter is still angry that I have had the nerve to claim you as my child.

"But you didn't claim me!" I was screaming now. "You left me alone for thirteen years! As far as I know, I'm not even a demigod! As far I know, I'm a mortal, an orphan, and you're not my mother!" Tears running down my face, I ran blindly out of the woods, straight into a boy with a guitar. "Sorry," I muttered, helping the boy up.

"It's fine," he said. "You okay?" I wiped away my tears and nodded.

I tried to walk away, but the boy gripped my shoulder, hard, and I turned back to him, still sniffling. The boy looked at me for awhile; then eventually stuck out his hand and said, "J.T. Treble, son of Apollo."

I shook his hand. "Juno." I looked up at J.T., trying to see his family, but I must not have been concentrating enough because all I saw was a reddish glow and then I nearly fainted.

J.T. grabbed my arm before I fell. "I'm okay," I muttered, standing up again. J.T. nodded.

"Here," he said, taking my hand. "Let's get out of this cursed place." J.T. looked back as he and I left the forest, and I had a strange feeling he had witnessed my conversation with my mother. As we walked back to the Big House, I noticed that Leo was still sitting on the hill, mourning over his broken heart.

I rolled my eyes at the pathetic son of Vulcan and followed J.T. When we reached the Big House, J.T. stood there, kinda swaying back and forth; then said, "So, uhh… bye then, I guess."

I nodded, still refusing to directly talk to the guy, and entered the Big House. On my way up, hoping I wouldn't see anyone, I heard a voice that made me cringe. "Juno? You okay?"

I froze, but didn't turn around. "What do you want, Jason?" When he didn't answer, I turned around and gasped. "What happened?" I asked, running down the stairs to him.

His nose was crushed and bloody, his face pale. Jason tried to smile and winced. "You throw a hard punch."

My heart sank with guilt. I had done this. Crushed his beautiful face. I sighed. "I-I'm sorry, Jason. I don't know what happened. I just- got angry, I guess."

"About what?" Jason asked. "What did I ever do to you?"

I stared at the boy. "You don't remember?"

"I don't remember much," he admitted.

I sighed. "Come upstairs," I said.

When Jason and I were back in the bedroom, I locked the door and told him the story that he, of all people, should know. "Back at camp, "I began. "Before you magically disappeared, you…your personality kinda changed. You and Reyna had just started dating, and all of camp knew it. You were the only son of Jupiter. You were the praetor of the First Legion, for gods' sake. You were…famous. And Reyna was my best friend. I just wanted her to be happy. But…you would be on dates with her and just totally ignore her and keep looking at other girls. You hung out with Gwen and her siblings a lot more, but whenever Reyna tried to talk to you about it, you'd just look away and say, 'It's for my patron.' Then, one night, you came up to Reyna and me, frantic, saying something about an exchange, and that word again- patron. You apologized, swore on the River Styx that you hadn't known what you'd been doing. You promised Reyna a special dinner, after hours, totally secret, to make up for everything." I took a deep breath. This was the best part. "She waited for three hours. You never showed up. Next day, you had simply…vanished. Then that Percy kid came, and I swear Reyna forgot all about you. But I never did. You broke my best friend's heart. And you will fix it again."

I wiped tears from my eyes and finally looked up at Jason. "Wow," he whispered. I nodded.

Then, a thought came to me. "Jason," I said. He looked up. "You said you didn't remember anything about Castra Roma." Jason nodded. "Do you remember Reyna? Your other friends?" Jason nodded slowly.

"Sort of," he said. "I remember Reyna…just barely. And then, Bobby, Dakota, Gwendolyn, Hazel." I nodded as he listed his friends still in his memory. Then, he asked what they were like. I tried my best to explain.

"I guess it all started with Gwen. She was like your first friend. She was a daughter of Venus, though, so she always wanted you two to be 'more than friends'. But you had your eye on Reyna so Gwen got a little jealous. You two are still friends, but…let's just say Gwen and Reyna are not friends. So anyway, then Bobby and Dakota are kinda like…your posse. Or bodyguards. They're twins, children of Mars, and Kota often says that Bobby should've been the girl, but I think that Kota's more like a monster than a boy. Anyway, Hazel and Reyna. Reyna's a daughter of Minerva and Hazel's dad is Bacchus, so…well, opposites attract, I guess. Reyna's a genius and Hazel's kinda…out there, but they're still best friends." Jason nodded, but I could tell he hadn't been entirely paying attention. Something was on his mind. "What's wrong?" I asked him.

Jason stared at me, his eyes narrow. "What about you?" he asked. I looked at him, confused. "You know so much about me and my friends, yet I don't remember you. Why don't I?"

I shrugged. "You and I were never great friends. I mean, you were famous! I was an unclaimed nobody. I still hung out with you guys, you know, trying to keep the peace between Gwen and Reyna, or even Bobby and Dakota. Plus of course, I had to make sure Hazel didn't kill herself. But, you know, you pretty much ignored me…most of the time." Jason nodded sadly. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, the door set on fire.

I screamed and basically jumped into Jason's lap. "Sorry!" Leo called out as the door collapsed and he stepped through the opening. "You locked the door."

I exchanged a glance with Jason and we both burst out laughing. "Gods, you scared me!" I exclaimed.

"Is this another bad time?" Leo asked, staring at me on Jason's lap.

I quickly scrambled up and, blushing, tried to change the subject. "What do you want, Leo?" I asked.

Leo's eyes still flitted between Jason and me, but he still answered the question. "Chiron wants to talk to you." Jason stood up, but Leo held out his hand. "Just Juno."

"Come on Leo," Jason protested. Leo shrugged.

"Sorry dude," he said. "I'm just following orders. Apollo kids might want you, though." Leo grinned and pointed at Jason's face.

As Jason stomped out, he grumbled something that sounded like, "Since when does Leo follow orders?"

I turned to Leo. "If this is another excuse to flirt with me, I will personally take out my knife and stab you in the heart." Leo laughed, but instantly stopped when he realized how calm I was being.

Leo cleared his throat and wiped sweat off his forehead. "So, uhh…you coming?" he asked in a high voice, gesturing towards the hole where the door used to be. I shrugged and followed Leo out.

A/N: there you go. Hope you liked it. I feel bad for Reyna now. In the next chapter, you'll get to see what J.T.'s been doing during all of this. And…..more parent trouble. Au revoir!
