Um…hi! Please don't kill me! I know, I haven't updated in ages, but I have a valid reason. I've moved countries (again) and I was really busy packing and unpacking and school…GAH! I'm reallyyyy sorry :/ but on the bright side, I write whenever I can so I have the chapters written down, so I just have to type them up. Also its my birthday on the 10th, so I felt that I should really update as a birthday present to myself. :P if that makes any sense.

Another thing, this isn't actually how I was planning to write this chapter, but Leo and Jason had a different idea, as this chapter is completely different, and leads to much more drama. *Sigh*

Also… ONE HUNDRED REVIEWS! Holy! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Congrats to my 100th reviewer kimikumexi , and thank you to everyone who has reviewed so far…I love you guys so much :), you're my inspiration and the reason I keep writing. Enough of my rambling now, on with the story

Disclaimer: Rick Riordan is not a 14, almost 15 (YAY!) year old girl, so no, I don't own PJO. Sorry if characters are a bit OOC.

"Hey Piper." Came the all too familiar voice which brought back all the good memories of their times together, her mind completely skipping over their fateful last meeting on the beach, in almost the exact same spot. But the casual tone in his voice in his voice irritated her to no end, as if nothing had happened to them and these whole past two months, they had been completely normal and at ease with each other, if not together then close friends at least. Piper was so lost in her thoughts that she almost missed him speaking to her, just almost.

"So, I saw you leaving your cabin and I followed you here, you always did come to the beach when you were upset. But I'm guessing that right now you're probably upset about me. Me, being here, coming back. But I want to…no I need to explain, if you'll listen to me." Here he paused waiting for Piper to answer his question, to which she just nodded woodenly, and gestured for him to continue.

"You're so beautiful," He muttered under his breath, before continuing, "I know that I shouldn't have done what I did. Left like I did, breaking your heart in the process." He said in answer to Piper's skeptically raised brow. He sighed heavily and continued "I shouldn't have left you for Reyna, that was wrong of me," Piper flinched slightly at her name, seeing Jason back had made her raw again, and his hand on her shoulder tightened. "When I got to the Roman Camp, got back with Reyna, I was happy, at least for a little while. I had to force myself no think of you…it was too painful. After two or so weeks, I started to realize that I wasn't happy with Reyna, and I couldn't figure out why. She gave me anything I wanted, but I still wasn't happy."

"And just the day before yesterday, I figured it out. I knew why I wasn't happy with Reyna, because I kept looking for you in her, looking but not finding you. You weren't there, and I couldn't stop thinking about you, your laugh, your smile, your eyes. So I had a huge fight with Reyna. I told her I was still in love with you, she refused to listen, and she kept trying to make me stay. She kept telling me that you were hopeless and that I had no hope with the Greeks. Surprisingly Lupa let me come. Maybe she had sensed how depressed I was and much I needed to come here, how much I needed you an-"

"Or maybe she just wanted to get rid of you, I really wouldn't blame her." An all too familiar voice said coldly from behind Piper. She nearly got whiplash from how fast she turned her head to spot the source of the voice. Leo stepped out of the shadows, and Jason removed his hand from Piper's shoulder taking a step back as Leo stepped forward. He wrapped an arm around her slim waist, pulling her closer to him, before turning to Jason with a hostile glare, who was staring at his arm with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. He looked down, straight into Piper's eyes, his own full of hurt and betrayal, and when he spoke again his voice was hard and almost hostile, with poorly concealed anger, and his blue eyes smoldered into Piper's."

"I don't know what you mean, Leo." He said his name with contempt.

"I mean that you're a good for nothing little twit who depends on others to do his dirty work for him-"This time he was cut off by a very pissed of Jason, you yelled, "Me? I do that? What about you then, oh great Leo?" He said, practically spitting out Leo's name in his rage. "Do you remember what happened after the war? I helped you get together with Reyna-"

Once again, he was cut off by Leo who yelled out and indignant "I have no idea what you're talking about." His front was good, but Piper knew him well enough to tell when he was lying, and this was one of those times, she noticed the way his scared gaze flitted to her for a brief second and the way his arm tensed and tightened around her, squashing her to his side. She frowned at him slightly as Jason's words sunk in. Leo. With Reyna. Reyna?

But Leo had assured her that he had had nothing to do with the girl, and in fact he had often joined Piper in insulting both Jason and Reyna, when she felt down. Piper's head was swimming with thoughts about Leo and Reyna. Leyna? Reo? When Jason spoke again, with barely concealed anger in his voice.

"Of course you do! You were with her for most of the summer. She told me about all your secret meetings and messages. In fact she showed me the letter you sent her, what? Two weeks ago? About how you were sorry and how betrayed you felt that she chose me over you and how much you still loved her. Did you forget about that so quickly…or did you just not tell Piper about this uh…relationship?"

Catching the shifty, guilty look on Leo's face and the narrow eyed suspicion on Piper's, his mouth twitched into a knowing almost scarily evil smirk. "Oh, so you didn't tell her. This is good." He let out a laugh "And you call me a good for nothing twit, what about you? Wait till Piper hears about what happened over the summer, why you lied to her. I'm sure her opinion of you will change drastically." His voice was now soft and amused, which had a strange almost cruel smirk on his face. Also, Jason's accusation and Leo's guilt made her even more suspicious.

Her anger and confusion filled her and she wiggled her way out of Leo's grasp. She then turned to face the two boys, with her hands on her hips, her multi-coloured eyes blazing angrily at them. Maybe Lady Artimis was right, boys were a complete waste of time. Taking a deep breath of the cool evening air to calm herself down, she fixed the two boys with a glare, which caused them both to look away from where they had been staring at her curiously.

"Okay," She said with suppressed anger in her voice. "What is going on here?" The two looked up at her guiltily, and surprisingly they were both blushing lightly. "Leo, what is he talking about? You and Reyna? What the hell is he going on about?" Jason opened his mouth about to answer her question, but he was quickly silenced by a hostile glare sent his way by Piper.

Truth be told, both boys were slightly scared of her. Neither of them had actually ever seen her this angry before, and clearly when she got really angry, she became really scary. When Jason had broken up with her, she had just been sad and frustrated, not all that angry. They had heard one or two stories during the war against Gaia, how Piper got so angry that she killed any monster in her way, she was like a destructive weapon. But experiencing an angry Piper firsthand was not a fun experience, it also didn't help that she happened to be an angry Daughter of Aphrodite. It didn't help, as both boys had seen Aphrodite kids having fits, and they were just plain freaky.

Piper shut her eyes, pinched the bridge of her nose and let out an extremely frustrated sigh. When she opened her eyes, the two quickly looked away as if they hadn't just been watching her. Jason slowly raised his hand like a kindergartener, with an expression equivalent to that of a five year old who had just been yelled at. Piper sighed again, "Yes, Jason." Her voice sounding very tired and strained as she spoke.

It was strange that now that he was here, in front of her, speaking to her, saying and hearing his name didn't hurt as much as she had thought it would have. Right now her only feelings were annoyance at the pair. Weren't they supposed to be like…best friends? They used to be practically inseparable, always sticking up for each other, always joking around with Piper. What happened to them? Oh, right. Jason had practically dumped Leo and Piper for all his Roman friends. But did they really hate each other so much that they were trying to hurt the other? Apparently so.

"Piper, you have to believe me. What I said- about Leo and Reyna- it's the truth, you know I never lie. Not even if I want to pull somebody down, like-" He was cut off by Pier's raised hand, her steady gaze fixed on Leo, who refused to meet her eyes, staring hard at his shoes, instead.

"Leo," She began her voice soft and almost pleading, so different from what it had previously been that Leo lifted his eyes, locking them with hers. "Please, just tell me he's lying. Tell me it isn't the truth. Please." And before had a chance to say anything, she saw the answer clearly in his eyes, and the realization made her break eye contact with him and look towards the sea. Taking a deep breath and hoping her voice didn't wobble as much as she thought it did. Not looking at either of them she spoke again,

"Oka, so I'm glad that the two of you care enough about me to actually lie and keep stuff from me, important stuff." The sarcasm and hurt evident in her voice. "Bu..but Piper, I honestly do care about you. I just didn't tell you because you were so…broken because of her and I didn't want you to tell you because, I thought that you would…um…" Leo trailed off as he caught the blazing look directed towards him by Piper.

"I would what exactly? Cry? Faint? Break down? Well guess what Valdez," Leo flinched at the bitterness in her voice as she spoke his last name. "I found out! And I honestly DON'T CARE why you did it anymore. I don't care. About you. Or Reyna…and YOU!," She rounded on Jason, where he had been watching the interaction part pleased and amused and part scared out of his wits.

"You just always have to ruin my life when its good, don't you? I'm having a good time and you just waltz in and spoil everything, not even bothering to clean up the mess that you made. You broke my heart and left him," Here she pointed a finger at a scared looking Leo " and then you come back when I'm finally happy and fricking spoil everything!"

Now she was going hysterical, tears cascading down her face, yelling at the two idiots on front of her. Suddenly she felt a strong pair of arms around her waist holding her back, and she heard Nico say "Piper! Calm down! Stop struggling, you're going to hurt yourself." The urgency in his soft voice made her thrash around even more. Vaguely she heard Percy, Annabeth, Thalia and Katie, trying to calm her down, but their soothing words didn't make sense to her.

She opened her eyes to see Drew and Travis holding back Leo and Jason respectively. They looked as if they were trying to launch themselves at each other. "I HATE YOU BOTH!" Piper yelled as loudly as she could, effectively causing both boys to stop struggling against the pair of arms holding them back and look at her with wide, scare eyes.

She herself stopped struggling, and let herself be dragged away by Nico, followed by Thalia, Annabeth, and Katie, leaving the two boys on the beach staring after her in shock, each left with nothing but a shattered heart.

THE END!
