Chapter 4: Love and Disbelief

Hey guys! Here's the next chapter. It's really mushy sorry! By the way I have written a bunch of tratie one-shots would any of you have any interest in me publishing those as a different story? Review if you do. There are still a few chapters left and I still have to write an ending but hopefully that will happen soon!

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or any characters.

without further ado: Love and Disbelief


Travis found Katie on a rock next to the woods that you could only find if you knew where it was. She had her head in her arms and she was crying. When she saw Travis walking toward her she started to run away but he called out to her.

"Katie stop! I need to talk to you!"

"What could you possibly have to say?" She spat venomously.

"Can we sit down so I can explain?" Travis asked slowly and carefully sitting her back down on the rock.

She glared at him. "You have two minutes and that's it."

Travis started to explain"I took your diary because I knew you would know I had it if it was missing. It was just a way to get you alone. I was just gonna tease you a little and then I was gonna ask you to the fireworks." On that note Katie stood up and walked away.

"I don't need a pity party Travis." She yelled wiping her tears away. He ran after her.

"No Katie I'm not lying. I've liked you for three years. Ever since you took me down that first time we dueled in the arena, remember?... I do June 24th,2010. That's the day I fell for you Katie Gardner and it's been a very long fall and there's no going back for me. I've always liked you and I always will." She kept walking, eager to dismiss this as just more Stoll immaturity. Travis was persistent though, "Why won't you believe me?" Travis asked stopping Katie.

She whipped around glaring at him, "Seriously you're asking me why I don't believe you, Travis Stoll? Hmm... I don't know maybe it's because of the constant spout of lies that always seems to be coming from your mouth. Your a liar Travis, for all I know this is just another scheme to embarrass me. So no, I don't believe you. Goodbye Travis"

Travis nearly gave up but he had one more trick up his sleeve. After all he was a Stoll and Stolls always have a backup plan. In an act of desperation he grabbed Katie's arm, turned her around to face him, and he kissed her. Katie was taken completely by surprise. She had dreamed of this moment for years and now that it was here it was better than she could ever have imagined. She found herself weaving her hands through his soft curly brown hair as he was ensnaring her in his arms. To Katie it they stayed like that for hours. They could have stayed like that forever but they had to come up for air.

Breathing heavily Katie whispered, "Are you sure?" into his ear.

"Absolutely Katie-Kat" She lightly swatted his arm.

"Don't call me Katie-Kat" Travis grinned sitting down on a patch of grass. He patted the ground next too him.

"Sit down Katie I want to ask you something" Katie knew where this was going and she wanted to have a little fun with him. So she sat down and batted her eyelashes at him.

"What is it Travis?" she asked innocently. "Well...uh...umm...ok what I wanted to ask you is...uh...umm" he stammered "Well I want to know if...you would...I mean I was just wondering-"

"Yes Travis?" Katie implored. Travis took a deep breath.

"Here goes. Will you go to the fireworks with me Katie Gardner?"

She waited a long time before answering. "No"

Travis was, to say the least, surprised. "What?!" he exclaimed.

"Kidding!" She cried doubling over with laughter. "But let me tell you what I have in mind" she gestured for him to come closer. "What if we tricked everyone into thinking we still hate each other and then reveal our relationship at the fireworks? No one would expect it. But you can't tell anyone about us not even Connor"

Travis looked suspicious, "Will you tell Miranda? Because if I can't tell Connor you can't tell Miranda."

Katie nodded, "Right we don't tell anyone so we have to keep this" she pointed at the two of them "a secret."

"Of course"

"Then let's do this!" Travis smiled, "If you ever ask me why I love you remember this moment. I love you because as smart and kind as you are you've got an evil side Katie Gardner and that's why I love you."

"I know" she smirked as she leaned in to kiss him.
