Starting Over

Jason

Okay maybe I was a bit ahead of myself thinking that being able to fix my friendship with Piper would be easy, I knew that she wanted to rip my head off but I didn't think it would be that bad, I was use to her cold shoulders but after all the time she's been spending with Annabeth her glares have been getting pretty scary too, for example what happened next.

"Hey Piper" I tried the casual approach instead of replying she just glared at me then went back to her conversation with Annabeth. I was about to try again when and opened my mouth to talk but instead a different voice came out.

"Hey Pipes" the other who, which happened to be Leo called out.

"Hey Leo, what's up" Piper smiled and greeted him, but when she made eye contact with me the sweet smile turned into a bitter smile. Ouch.

Before Leo could reply I cut him off this time, sure it was mean of me to do that to my best friend, but when you're trying to make amends with someone like Piper let's just say all's fair in love and war. "Hey Pipes" I repeated what Leo said and threw in my signature smile which makes girls go weak in the knees.

She turned to me and gave me a smile, I let out a silent sigh of relief. "Jason, don't call me Pipes, my name is Piper"

Okay now I was feeling jealous, it might have been a childish reason but seeing as how my best friend got along better with Piper made something inside of me hurt. "Why not, Leo just did."

"Because Leo's been my friend since high school" she stressed the word friend. I was thinking how was that possible? I've been with Leo since high school and he'd never mention anyone named Piper plus Leo would usually hang with me seeing as how we had every class together and had the same after school activities, when did he ever hang out with Piper? It's been hard trying to remember what happened that year, I had tried everything I could to block out that year but now I'm trying to remember it again.

I shook Piper's comment off and faked a smile "Come on guys let's head into the studio already"

"Welcome, welcome my name is Phoebus Apollo but you can call me Apollo, and I shall be in charge of your soundtrack" Apollo introduced himself "Anyways let's get to work for today we will be working on duets/ group collaborations so I will be calling your partner/ partners, Percy and Annabeth" Shocking, big surprise there, I zoned out but I had a pretty good idea on who I was working with and maybe my plan would work. "Finally Jason and Piper" Apollo called out, 'perfect' I thought to myself.

"Percy and Annabeth you will be singing 'Wish U were here' as Jason and Leo had sang at his last concert, Percy you will be rapping while Annabeth you will be singing, after you guys are done you will be heading to work on the music video" Apollo explained, he explained the others but once again I zoned out until he announced what I would be doing. "Jason and Piper you will be singing 'It's the start of something new', this song will be taking place when your characters first find each other and realize that there is something between the two of you" I snorted at Apollo's comment.

I got the lyrics and headed into the recording room with Piper, I took a deep breath and started singing

"Living in my own world

Didn't understand

That anything can happen

When you take a chance"

I looked over to Piper since it was her line but she just stood there frozen and she looked nervous, I just stood there waiting for her to start singing, when she finally did start singing I was mesmerized by her voice

"I never believed in

What I couldn't see

I never opened my heart

To all the possibilities"

Before I could start singing Piper ran out of the room and left the building, I looked over to Apollo wondering what to do but he just looked back at me with are-you-stupid face before he yelled "What are you doing, chase after her!" Without any more hesitation I ran after her only to find her crossing the street to catch a taxi.

"Piper!" I cried out hoping that my voice would have reached her. Either it didn't or she just ignored me.

"WATCH OUT!" I screamed and ran after her hoping I could get her out of the way in time. A thud was all I heard before I blacked out

I woke up to find myself not on the streets of Manahan anymore but instead in a hospital room with a huge headache.

"JASON!" a female voice cried and tackled me into a hug.

"H-hey Thals" I managed to croak out. "What happened?"

"I'll tell you later but you need to talk to the doctor first, I'll be back baby bro" Thalia gave me a sympathetic look before getting the doctor.

"Jason Grace, my name is Will Solace your doctor and I must say you are a pretty lucky and heroic man" the doctor introduced himself but I ended up cutting him off

"How's Piper?" I asked suddenly remembering her

He gave me a smile and continued "As I was saying, your girlfriend is alright thanks to you she just left with a few scrapes and cuts, you on the other hand was lucky but you did sprain your ankle but that will heal on its own, you should keep using it but avoid dancing, anyways you can leave soon but there is someone who wants to see you first" Dr. Solace headed out the room and in came Piper.

"Hey Piper" I tried the causal approach again.

"Idiot" she wasn't mad and was more relieved.

"Look I remember you from high school, I know this won't make it up but please just give me another chance."

"Jason in high school you hurt me bad, how can I give you another chance?" Piper look very worried at this point.

"Simple like this" I stuck my hand out for her to shake "Hi, my name is Jason Grace, a huge jerk hoping for another chance."

Cautiously she took my hand and gave me a small smile "Hello Jason, I'm Piper nice you to meet you."

[A/N] Apollo had an Effie moment LOL, no flashback for this chapter, I'll put two in for the next one.

Also I don't own any of the song's I mentioned, they belong to their rightful owners
