JASON

"I'll show you where they are Pipes," Jason said, about to lend her a hand when he remembered that he could get itchy from just touching her. "I don't want to be itchy..." Piper laughed at his expression as she gestured for him to walk ahead of her.

As they left for the baths, Jason couldn't help but notice Reyna's closed-off expression and feel slightly guilty. Whoever he chose in the end, he would hurt one of the two wonderful and amazing girls. Piper always saw the good side of him, saying that it outshined the bad side of him, while Reyna...oh gods. He didn't even understand how she viewed him. She was always seeing the bad side of him, and rarely ever said anything good to him, unless she either thought he truly deserved it or she hit her head on a rock. Both ways made him feel amazing though. Piper's constant positive attitude boosted his self-esteem, and as much as he was ashamed to admit it, his ego. When Reyna praises him though, he knows she must mean it when she says it, so it brings on a whole different level of pride and happiness for him.

Gods damn it, why couldn't he choose? Why couldn't he remember Reyna so he wouldn't start anything new with Piper? Or why couldn't he just have been friends with Reyna and be with Piper, no feelings of remorse or regret, or what ifs?

The old saying, everything's fair in love in war rang in his head, and Jason couldn't help but disagree with it. Nothing's fair in love and war, especially when the two girls of his life were the living proof of love and war.

"Uh, are we even going the right way?" Piper's voice cut through his thoughts and he guiltily looked up. She was looking at him with concern and he forced a smile.

"Yeah, it's just through these doors," he replied, pushing the golden doors open.

"Woah," was Piper's first reaction when she the Roman baths. Jason grinned at her amazement. He was pretty surprised when he first saw the baths too. The walls were decorated with paintings of heroes and gods, Roman words written in perfect cursive, golden doors opened to reveal porcelain tubs. There was also a huge hot tub, bubbles floating on top.

"Cool, huh?" Jason asked her, waving a hand in front of her face. She snapped out of her trance and nodded flying to the hot tub and playing with the bubbles, giggling.

"I thought you needed a bath...?" Jason said, smirking at her. "Romans aren't all that bad, now are they?"

She laughed, throwing bubbles at him. "This is amazing! I'm gonna grab my stuff and then relax! This is so much better than the short showers at Camp Half-Blood!" Piper exclaimed, waving her hand at Jason. "See you later!"

As soon as she left, Jason turned back to the room, his mind trying to grasp onto a memory he had long forgotten (and Juno stole from him). He felt his cheeks heat up when he recalled the memory...

Flashback

"Guys, have you seen Reyna?" Jason asked the Fifth Cohort. "Octavian demands to see her, but he won't get up from his at dinner."

Gwen shrugged. "Dunno. Have you checked the Second Cohort?"

Jason nodded. "Yeah, but they said she just left."

Then, Bobby walked in, grinning. "What's up?" He noticed Jason's annoyed posture. "What's wrong?"

"Have you seen Reyna? Octavian wants to see her," he explained yet again, his patience running out. Thanks Jupiter.

"Yeah, I saw her," Bobby replied. "She was just going to the baths."

Gwen sniggered while Jason stuttered out his response. "Oh. Uh m-maybe l-later?"

Bobby laughed at his nervous expression. "I don't think you should make Octavian wait. Just knock before you enter," he advised, laughing at Jason's red cheeks. "Good luck."

"I'll need that," he muttered before dragging his feet out the door. Gods, how did he get himself in so much trouble? He did not want to walk in on Reyna...indecent. That would be awkward.

He sighed when he arrived at the entrance. With a mental prayer to his father, Jason pushed the doors open, and peeked inside. There was no one inside because they were all at dinner, but Reyna wanted to have some time alone, and now Jason was going to ruin it. Just his day.

"Uh, Reyna? You in here?" Jason said, darting his eyes around and noticed the last door on the left was closed. He smiled. Reyna always like that one the best because it was the furthest away from the usually loud hot tub where everyone relaxed in.

He slowly tip-toed to the end of the corridor, and took a deep breath. Jason knocked, holding onto his breath. "Reyna, you there?"

When no one answered, he was stumped. What was he going to tell Octavian now? He wasn't scared of him, but he was the only other competition Jason had for the male praetor spot, and Octavian will somehow twist this to make him seem unreliable or something.

He was about to leave and make up some story when he heard someone singing. His eyes darted back at the door. It sounded like Reyna, and he didn't hear any water running; maybe she just got in...

Jason knocked again, but when no one answered, he slowly opened the door. He just opened it a peek when he heard someone gasp. `Who's there?" The voice said, surprised.

"R-reyna?" Jason stumbled out, his cheeks flushing when he saw bubbles. Well, this was awkward.

"W-what are you doing here?" Reyna stammered, and Jason heard her grabbing for a towel.

"Octavian wants to see you," he explained. "He said it was really important."

She opened the door and Jason fell flat on his face. "Arrggg," he moaned, rubbing his nose. "I probably shouldn't have leaned on that."

She giggled and one hand holding the towel tight around her body, she extended one hand to help him up. "You okay Lightning McQueen?"

He looked up at her, a bit dizzy. He observed her, and thought she looked better with her hair down. It made her seem more...human, not all perfect and mighty. He liked how her dark hair brought out her dark hazel eyes, and he mentally slapped himself for thinking about her like that. If Reyna knew what he was thinking, oh gods, he would be a dead man. Not even Jupiter could save him.

Apparently, he didn't hide his thoughts well. "Why are you staring at me like that?" Reyna demanded, crossing her hands as best she could, trying to keep the towel in place. "Get out so I can change and see stupid Octavian!" Reyna shouted, slamming the door in his face.

As the back of his head made contact with the floor, he couldn't help but be angry at Octavian. The kid was just out to get him, wasn't he?

End flashback

Groaning, Jason snapped out of his memories and pulled the golden doors open, cold air rushing over him. He gritted as goose bumps formed. He really shouldn't have stayed in there so long.

He was about to find some of his clothes so he could take a bath as well when he bumped into Annabeth. She grinned at him knowingly. "Where's Piper? Is she still in there? Where you two..." she let the question unfinished and he reddened at her assumption.

"Oh gods, no," he said, shaking his head quickly. "She went to get her clothes. I was just...thinking."

All of Annabeth's joking disappeared as she stared seriously at Jason. "Look, I know you and Reyna had a history, but you have to remember Piper. If you don't like her, then don't lead her on, or if you don't like Reyna, then don't lead her on." She sighed. "I'll admit, I was a bit harsh on Reyna before, but that was only because I didn't know her. Now that I do..." she grimaced. "I don't even know whose side I'm on anymore. But Piper's a really nice girl, and deserves someone like you in her life. Not that Reyna doesn't," she added hurriedly. "But Piper doesn't deserve this. She really thought you two had something," she finished, making him feel a lot more guiltier.

"I know," he started, silently cursing Juno in his head, "but that was the way Juno had intended it to be. I had no memories of Reyna whatsoever, so I thought I had a chance, but when I remembered, I felt really bad, so I wanted to cut it off, but I had some feelings for her. And now," he looked at the ground, "I don't even know what I want anymore."

Annabeth was thinking, her head tilted to the side slightly. "Maybe there's a reason you didn't remember her. I mean, Percy remembered me, and since you didn't remember Reyna..." she trailed off, looking at his unreadable expression, "maybe you two weren't meant to be," she said softly.

Jason's eyes flashed darkly as he tried to control his anger. He didn't know why, but Jason knew for a fact that that wasn't the real reason why. It peeved him that he didn't know the real reason why he couldn't remember Reyna, but he didn't like how Annabeth was subtly implying that he should be with Piper.

"I'm sure that's not the reason why," he responded, controlling the anger in his voice, but Annabeth saw right through him, and took a step back. "I don't need you to make up theories why I don't remember her, because the gods will explain that soon enough. I know that Piper's a nice girl, but this is ultimately my decision, and I don't want you to give them false lies."

Annabeth cringed at the sudden change of light blue to dark blue in his eyes. "I wasn't going to tell them anything," she whispered quietly.

He let out a groan as he tried to smile. "Sorry about blowing up Annabeth, but I just don't know." he apologized, seeing the girl's discomfort.

"It's okay," she reassured him, but Jason could see the slight fear in her eyes. "I should just leave..." He nodded as she walked away, probably to find Percy or to go back to the Fifth Cohort.

Speaking of cohorts, Jason didn't know where he was staying at for the week. He was hoping to live at his praetor house, but since Percy Jackson was the new praetor, he didn't know if Percy had taken his house. If so, what happened to his stuff?

Jason didn't want to think about his friends and family throwing away his stuff, so he walked the familiar path to Reyna's house. He would ask her where he would sleep and put his stuff.

Before he could even knock on the door, he heard Argentum growling and he bit back a smile. He saw her wanting to tackle him to the ground during the meeting, but was held back by Reyna. Aurum and Argentum were technically Reyna's dogs, but when he became friends with Reyna, she had taken a liking to him, unlike Aurum, who tried to bite him every time he got near. Reyna noticed the bond between them and deemed Jason co-owner of Argentum.

Gods, he missed his dog. When Reyna opened the door, Argentum pushed him onto the ground and he laughed. "Yeah, I'm back girl!" Jason exclaimed, laughing. "I'm back."

When Argentum finally let him get up, Jason looked at Aurum, who glared at him with his ruby eyes. "You still hate me, huh?" The automaton growled and Jason nodded. "Same old Aurum."

Reyna smiled, stroking Aurum. "He won't admit it, but he misses trying to kill you," she claimed, her eyes gazing at him.

Jason snorted. "Right, he's hated me from the start."

She chuckled as she stepped aside. "Well, I know you weren't here to just see Argentum," she implied, waiting for him to speak.

He cleared his throat. "Yeah. I was just wondering about where I'm supposed to sleep..." he looked over at his old house. "Did Percy..." he let his question hang as Reyna smiled sadly and shook her head.

"I had asked him if he wanted to move in, but he didn't want to move your stuff," she replied.

"Oh," was all he said as his bit his lip. So they didn't care about...

"I mean," she interrupted his thoughts, "I tried to keep the house yours as long as I could, even after Octavian declared you dead. I always thought you would come back, but when Percy came along, he reminded me of you, so since I had to elect a praetor to take your place, I chose Percy over Octavian."

Jason couldn't keep the relieved smile off his face. After months of him wondering if anyone looked for him, he finally knew the truth. Throwing his arms around Reyna, he buried his face in her long hair. "Thanks for having faith in me," he murmured, rubbing her back.

He felt Reyna breathe sharply, her arms tightening around him as well. "You are our saving grace, after all," she responded, and he could feel one tear fall down her cheek. Reyna pulled herself out of his hug and grimaced. "Go take a bath," she said, scrunching her nose up. "You smell of faun."

Jason laughed. "I was going to." He took a few steps and stood in front of his old house. Jason looked back and saw that Reyna had gone back inside. He smiled to himself and searched the plant in front of the window. He remembered that he had kept a spare key there after he lost the original for three days in a row, and Reyna demanded he get two spares; one for her and one to hide in the plant.

Jason fished the key out and unlocked his door. He grinned when he found out everything to be exactly how he had left it. It seemed free of dust, which was probably thanks to Reyna. He grabbed a set of clothes from his drawer and strolled out the door.

It was good to be home.

I'm not happy with Reyna being this...unReyna, but I know if I keep correcting, the chapter will never come out. Trust me.
