Leo's POV
When I got to the deck, she was already there.
"Early much?" I said, jokingly
"I couldn't sleep, so I decided to relieve Nico and Hazel."
"Ah. You couldn't sleep either."
"Not at all." She still hadn't looked at me. She probably knows. Oh gods. I should have just kept to myself.
"Uh, Pipes, something wrong?" Play it off cool. Good job.
"Yeah actually."
"Alright. Hit me."
"Uh, ok. Well Lacy has a boyfriend."
"I am aware." I say, nodding.
"And she likes him a lot."
"Alright."
"But her best friend, from the same place, by the way, because they go to her school, is, as she said, handsome, funny, sweet, smart, caring, and all of these things."
"Ok. "
"And she thinks her best friend is in love with her, but she's not completely sure, and she also really likes her boyfriend. She's torn. It's worse than a Twilight love triangle."
"Ain't that the truth. It's giving me a headache." All I was thinking was "Ah, the tables have turned". I wanted to say it too but I decided against it.
"Me too." She said. It was silent for a couple minutes when she finally spoke up.
"So where are we right now?"
"Let's find out," I say as I walk over to the control panel."Ok, let's see. Looks like we've traveled about 47 miles since Hazel gave the report."
"Alright." She said, tapping her fingers on the control panel.
"You alright Pipes?"
"Yeah. I'm just nervous."
"About Percy and Annabeth or the Doors of Death?"
"Both. And more. I'm mostly just worried about how everything is going to turn out." I chuckled.
"What was that for?" She said, angrily.
"It's just that I normally have this weir feeling that everything is wrong."
"And?"
"And it's gone."
