Jason would rather face another giant than face the situation he currently found himself in. He went from having one girlfriend to apparently being involved with another girl somehow. He knew his father was a well known womanizer but Jason never planned to follow in his footsteps, now it looked like the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

"Um I know you must be really confused about everything." Jason was interrupted from his dive into self loathing by Lucine's melodic voice. "I wish I could explain it better but I'm not really sure how to do that." She started fiddling with a strand of her hair. "I'm really hoping that your memories return if we spend some time together." Lucine looked at him, her blue eyes filled with hope.

"Look I don't know if we really did know each other, but I already have a girlfriend and I really do like her so I would really appreciate it if you could keep that in mind." What Jason was saying was true yet somehow, he felt like the worst of scum when he saw Lucine's starry blue eyes begin to brim with tears. He wanted to punch himself in the gut for making a girl cry. "I'm s-"

"No," Lucine held out her hand and wiped her eyes, "I understand, you're a great guy, it's no surprise someone else compromised your affection." Lucine sniffled. "I searched for you every day, out of my mind with worry for you, no one would tell me anything and when I did manage to find out what happened I was locked away because the gods thought I would interfere with their plans. It's not fair that you were stolen from me!"

Again Jason felt a pang of guilt and something else he couldn't identify. Hadn't he wondered if there was someone looking for him when he was still a recovering amnesiac? Then Lucine turns up and he has a new life and still no recollection of her. Jason couldn't restrain himself any longer so he wrapped his arms around Lucine. "I'm really sorry I don't remember you. I do feel something for you but I am a healthy teenage boy so I wouldn't rely on that if I were you."

Lucine let out a chuckle, making Jason feel pleased at himself for having lightened the mood. "At least it's a start. But I really can't hold myself back from showing affection towards you. I love you, every single part of your being. Just being near you fills me with immense joy." She looked at him with total devotion, her sincerity palpable.

Jason blushed profusely at her words, this was too much for him. It took him a while to regain his composure enough to speak. "I'm not sure what I could have done to make a girl like you declare something like that."

"You-" A loud growl emanating from Jason's stomach interrupted whatever Lucine was about to say, and Jason's blush got deeper for a different reason. He stepped away from Lucine. "Oh, that's right you haven't eaten yet."

"Y-yeah, a lot of things happened, it kind of slipped my mind. If we hurry we should still be able to get breakfast." Jason offered his hand to Lucine who was sitting on his cot, he still hadn't gotten around to getting any furniture in his cabin, but at least he had discovered the bathroom in it.

Lucine reached for his hand only to push it away, "I think you should go, I will stay here. As much as it pains me to be away from you, there are some things I need to do."

"O-ok," for some reason Jason suddenly felt dejected, "well you know where I'll be if you can join me later."

"I'll try to catch up as soon as possible." Lucine gave him a bright smile and Jason's feelings of unease were put at ease. He smiled back before exiting his cabin.

Jason was biting into a juicy mouthwatering hamburger when he was interrupted by a slap on his back.

"Hey there lover boy, you weren't satisfied with having one hot girlfriend so you got yourself two?" Leo chuckled beside him.

Jason's stomach churned. "What have you heard?"

"Not much, just that Piper caught you naked with some girl, you know those Aphrodite kids they love spreading rumors." Jason's face twisted in horror. "Wait… You're not telling me it's real, right?"

Jason sighed, "Not completely, I mean I wasn't naked but there is a new girl who's claiming to know me."

Leo groaned. "Man you need to send some of these chicks my way! You're a terrible wing-man, I'm revoking your position!"

Jason threw a fry at his friend. "Since when have I held that post? I never applied for it."

Leo dodged the fry easily, "Don't start a fight you'll regret later." Leo reached for the ketchup.

"I'm glad you're having fun," Piper scoffed, "where's your slut?"

Leo dropped the ketchup, he was probably as surprised as Jason at Piper's words, she had never been this harsh. "Pipes... I know you're not happy about the current situation but do you really need to speak like that?"

"Shut up! And don't call me that! You need to decide right now, me or that skank? You can't have both!"

Jason was sure his mouth was hanging open, he saw Leo slowly start to back away and he really wished he could do the same. "Look, I know things might seem a little weird right now but I think we should calm down and-" Oops, he really shouldn't have said that, everyone knows not to tell a girl, especially one that's mad to calm down.

"I am calm! You're the one who needs to calm his hormones down, first Reyna and now this Lucine chick? Just how many girls do you have in your life? I can't take this! We're done! I hate you!" Without letting Jason get a word in edgewise Piper stormed away full of righteous girl fury.

She really didn't want to break up with him after all they'd been through and she knew she wasn't acting like herself at all. Usually she was calm and collected but how could she remain that way after what happened this morning? She could tell Jason had feelings for this new girl and what kind of girlfriend doesn't get jealous seeing her boyfriend act like that? Maybe they just needed some time apart to figure out what they really wanted, especially if it wasn't each other.
