Yup, I'm back with another chapter. I promise I'm going to update more often now that finals are over and I'm on summer vacation! Also, I somehow managed to do well on my finals, so that's good. Anyway, thanks for all the support so far. I love getting reviews and seeing that people love my fanfiction! If you like, please review. If you have any suggestions, feel free to PM me, I'll probably respond on the same day.

Enjoy!

Piper Pov

Leo's surprised look quickly turned into one of pure joy as he jumped from his beanbag and rushed forward, tackling me a bone-crushing hug. "Piper!"

I hugged him back just as tightly, all my dreams answered. My best friend was back. "Leo!"

Leo pulled away from me, a crazy grin on his face. "I'm so happy you're not dead!" He exclaimed, holding my arms.

I grinned back. His black hair was as messy as usual, his brown eyes carrying crazy flames dancing around in joy. "I'm so happy we found you!" I exclaimed, hugging him again. He was warm and felt like home and I could've hugged him all day, but then I remembered Jason and Hazel, who stood awkwardly by the doorway.

I pulled away from him and gestured to them. "Oh, meet Jason and Hazel. They've been on the run with me, along with Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase." I said, looking back at Leo, who grinned even wider.

"Annabeth Chase? My dreams have come true." Leo said, winking at me.

Jason coughed. "Well, Percy beat you to her."

Leo winked at me, flexing his biceps. "Well, once she gets a look at this hot stuff, she'll change her mind." He joked, winking at me.

The joy of having my best friend back was indescribable. Imagine winning the mega millions jackpot, acing all your finals, and earning a lifetime supply of free ice cream in every flavour.

Finding Leo again was a thousand times better than that.

Leo looked at Hazel. "Hey, I remember you. You were in my art class, right?"

Hazel nodded, smiling wide. "You used to make funny drawings of Mr Manalo."

Leo grinned. "Ah, good times."

"So, you wanna join us on our crazy run?" I asked, looking hopefully at Leo.

"Is that even a question? Duh! I got so bored here. The only thing keeping me sane is the tv, which only has one channel running besides the Netflix I got hooked up." Leo said, gesturing to the TV, which currently played "FRIENDS".

Jason raises an eyebrow. "So a zombie apocalypse happens and the first thing you do is hook up Netflix and watch friends."

Leo nodded. "You got that right. Joey, Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Ross, Phoebe...they got me through this so far."

I patted his shoulder. "Well, we're grabbing stuff to stock up. Wanna join us?"

Leo looked at the tv with sadness. "Goodbye, Joey, Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Monica, and Phoebe. I'll miss you guys." He grabbed the remote and switched the TV off. Then he turned to us. "Lead the way."

We finally found Percy and Annabeth over by the food section. Percy had opened a bag of chips and was currently stuffing his face while Annabeth slowly walked down the aisle, looking for actual food.

Percy turned to look at us. "Oh look, we've recruited a new member." He said, somehow swallowing a huge amount of Cheetos.

Annabeth turned around, her eyebrows raising when she saw Leo. "Where did he come from?" She asked, looking at me, incredulous.

"Inside the employees only room. He somehow managed to drag a whole TV and beanbag in there." I said, glancing at Leo, who grinned. "You bet I did."

Annabeth just turned back to the food section. "Percy, if you're planning on surviving the whole apocalypse on Cheetos then you've got another thing coming to you."

"Hey, don't disrespect the Cheetos."

Annabeth just rolled her eyes, but a small smile crept its way up her lips. She grabbed a large pack of water bottles and lifted it, placing it into a cart. That girl was definitely stronger than she looked.

She took a few steps, looking at the cart, which was full of packaged food and water. "I think that's enough food." She said, turning to look at us.

"How about we explore the other sections? Maybe we could find some weapons?" Hazel asked, looking around at all of us.

Annabeth nodded. "Good point. Come on, gang." She said, turning towards the other aisles.

Percy snorted as he pushed the cart. "Come on gang? Who even says that?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "What would you say? Come on, assholes?"

Percy glared at her. "I would not say "come on assholes"."

Leo shook his head at the bickering couple as he and Hazel followed them.

I turned to follow suit, but saw Jason staring into the distance, in deep thought. "Are you coming, Jason?" I asked, taking a step towards him.

Jason smiled at me. "You're a size two, right?" He asked, his hands behind his back.

I stared at him before nodding. "Yes...what's going on?"

Jason pulled a nice white tee shirt from his back. "It seemed like it would be your size and Percy ruined your sweater, so I just grabbed this when I saw it." He said, looking at the floor and then looking back up at me.

I stared at the sweater for a few seconds. "Jason…" I couldn't believe he actually thought of me. It was so sweet of him, but predictable. That boy seemed observing.

Jason's face fell and he looked crestfallen. "You don't like it. Oh god, I'm sorry, I-"

"No, I love it! Thanks for thinking of me." I said, taking the tee shirt from him with a smile. "Oh, could you just turn away for a few seconds?" I asked, blushing at the thought of Jason seeing me with my top off.

Jason's neck grew red, his ears as red as tomatoes. "Oh, of course." He turned away, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

I turned away from him and quickly took my top off, letting the stained sweater fall to the floor. I felt my face grow hot as I quickly pulled the tee shirt on. Then I turned around to see Jason still turned around, looking straight forward.

"Ta-da." I said, raising my arms as I smiled, feeling my face grow even hotter at that stupid statement.

Jason turned and immediately smiled. "It looks nice on you." He said, stepping forward.

We were only about three inches apart.

I quickly looked away, feeling my face flush again. "They're going to wonder where we are." I said, turning away from him.

A hand gently grabbed my arm. I turned around to see Jason, giving me a kind smile that made my heart melt. "Let them wonder."

I couldn't help but let my mouth hang slightly open in surprise as Jason slipped his hand into mine, squeezing it once. "It's okay. If you don't want to-"

This time I surprised him by kissing him and closing the small gap between us. His eyes widened at first, but closed as he kissed back.

We kissed for a few moments before I heard the click of a gun behind me.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?"
