Okay, so I saw the guy I like reading The House of Hades. I mean, I think I told you guys about the Mark of Athena thing but OMG he's on House of Hades. I was sooooooo happy. He's a PJO fan!
Well, enough about him.
I know I've been gone for a long time. but I was really busy with stuff. Remember, I have a life, too. And I'm actually starting a Wattpad story soon. And ugh, idk why but whenever I made changes to this fanfic, it would erase it.
But whatever, let's go back to Jason's and Piper's lives. Enjoy :D
Jason's POV
Tonight is Leo's and Piper's date.
And Leo couldn't be more nervous about it.
"I don't know what to do! Do I just crack jokes? Do I be nice? Do I be mean? Jason! HELP ME!" he exclaims at lunch.
I shrug. "How should I help you?" I ask.
"I don't know! You talk to Piper alot!"
Frank snorts. "But Jason's apparently just using her."
I feel a surge of anger because of his accusation but I don't know how to respond. I mean, I like hanging out with her. But...how do I tell them? Leo's just gonna think I like her. Frank...isn't gonna care. Percy will think I'm lying. Grover's just gonna want food.
"Look, Leo," I say, ignoring Frank. "She's a...really romantic person. But you have to be different. Don't be TOO cheesy. Just a little romantic. Be casual."
He nods. "Right. And what exactly do I do?"
I shrug. "I dunno. Put your arm around her and stuff. Kiss her cheek. Hug her. Stuff like that."
Leo scowls. "You're no help, Jason. Percy!"
Percy looks up, startled. "What?"
"Help me! You're a romantic person! HELP. ME."
Percy starts giving him advice, and Grover and Frank pitch in. I tune out. I wonder where Leo's taking Piper for their date. But Leo won't tell us. Eh. Whatever.
Like I care.
At home
I come home, not bothering to say hi to my mom. She's getting drunk on the couch. Whatever.
I enter my room, to find a dark haired girl with blue eyes and ripped jeans sitting on my bed. I gasp. "Thalia?"
She looks up at me and grins. "Jason!"
We hug each other. As soon as we pull apart, I ask her what she's doing here.
"I decided to come home for the weekend to visit you. It's Friday anyway. I'm going back on Sunday afternoon. Anyway, tell me about yourself. How's Katrina?" she asks.
I smirk. "We broke up long time ago. I recently just broke up with Reyna."
"Reyna?"
"This girl I was dating. But we broke up."
She whacks me on the shoulder. "Then who's the new girl?"
I laugh. "You and Piper, I swear. There is no new girl."
Thalia cocks her eyebrows. "Who's Piper?"
"Um, a friend of mine. Anyway, how's Luke?" Luke is her long time boyfriend. I met him a couple of times. He's pretty cool.
She starts droning on and on about him and I nod along. Finally she stops. "Hey, so I heard that this new movie is playing in the theaters. Wanna go tonight?"
I shrug. "I dunno. It's a romance movie."
She snorts. "Who cares? Come with me. Unless you wanna spend your Friday night with HER." I know she's referring to our mother.
I sigh. It IS better than spending time with my mother. "Fine."
Thalia grins at me. We start talking about stuff.
Little did I know that in the movies, I'd run into a special someone.
Piper's POV
I need to get to the movies, but I can't drive yet. And if anyone sees my dad dropping me off, they'll know that he's my, well, dad. And my dad doesn't want me to take a taxi. Ugh. What should I do? I can't call Leo to pick me up. Jason already knows about my dad. But, Jason can relate. But Leo...it's not that I don't trust him but I don't think he'll understand.
My dad knocks on my door and peeks in. "Piper?"
"Yeah, Dad?"
"You need a ride, right?"
"Dad, I already told you. You can't drop me off."
"I know, I know. I'm saying that my assistant can drop you off."
"Jane?"
"Yeah. She can drop you off. If you want to, okay. If you don't, it's fine."
I grin. "Okay."
"Alright then."
"Thanks, Dad!"
"No problem." He walks out of my room.
Later at the movie theater
I walk into the movie theater, and see Leo sitting on the bench, waiting for me. He smiles when he sees me. "Hey, Piper!"
"Hey!" I say.
Leo grins wider. "I'm gonna go get us our tickets and popcorn and stuff." I nod. "Okay." He walks away leaving me on the bench.
I look around and my eyes set on Jason and a goth girl talking to each other near the main entrance. "Jason?"
He turns around and locks eyes with me. He smiles and comes over to me with the girl.
"Hey, Pipes. I thought you had a date with Leo," he says.
I nod. "I do. We're here. He's just getting the tickets and stuff."
"Oh. Well, this is my sister, Thalia. And Thalia, this is Piper," Jason says, introducing us.
"Oh, hey! So you're Piper!" Thalia says, grinning.
"Yeah," I say, lamely. I'm not really sure what to say. Does she know who my dad is? Did Jason tell her? Do I care?
No, I don't care. If he told her, than I know she's not gonna tell anyone. I trust him.
"So what movie are you guys seeing?" I ask them.
"Romeo and Juliet," Thalia says. A/N I couldn't make up a movie name so I just picked a random one. I don't own Romeo and Juliet. (it's the 2013 version that they're watching by the way)
"Really? That's the one that we're seeing," I say.
"Cool," Jason says. Suddenly, Leo comes up to us. He grins. "Hey Jason! I didn't know you'd be here," he says. "Hey Thalia."
"Hi Leo," she says.
"So shall we?" he asks turning to me. I nod. "Yeah."
"Well, we have to go buy our tickets. Have fun, guys," Jason says. They walk away, leaving us alone.
Leo and I take our seats at the theater and wait for the movie to start. Jason comes in with Thalia and exchange a few hello's with us and sit a row behind us.
Soon, the movie began.
Jason's POV
During the beginning, I couldn't help but peek at Leo and Piper as the lights dimmed.
Thalia offered some popcorn to me and I took a handful and popped it all into my mouth. Leo was casually resting his arm on the same armrest that Piper had her arm on. Their elbows were touching. I didn't like it. Not one bit.
I took a swig of soda and tried to focus on the movie. But I looked back and they were sharing a soda. I wanted to look away. But I couldn't.
I watched him put the armrest up so that they can lean in closer. And then in a casual move, he put his arm around her. And she scooted in closer to him. I wanted to push them away from each other. I don't know why, but I just did.
Thalia offered more popcorn to me. I took another handful and ate it one by one, forcing myself to look at the screen and focus on the movie. But it was hard. Why the hell did Thalia bring me to this? It's Romeo and Juliet for Pete's sake. We all know what's gonna happen. They're gonna make some stupid mistakes and end up dead. The end.
I couldn't help but glance back at Leo and Piper. I quickly regretted it though. Because right when I looked, Leo had pecked her cheek.
He kissed her cheek.
I was frozen. I couldn't move. I just watched helplessly as Piper put her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I needed to go. Now.
"I'll be right back," I whisper to Thalia. I don't wait for her response. I get up and scoot past people who are sitting there and rush outside into the cold air. I find an empty bench and sit down.
I bury my head in my hands wondering what's wrong with me. Why did I feel so...heartbroken? I felt this...this new kind of irritation towards Piper.
Suddenly, someone patted me on the shoulder. I look up, startled and see a girl. She was tall, Asian, and had her dark hair in ringlets. She was wearing plenty of jewelry and had perfect makeup, and was wearing a lot of pink eyeliner. She smelled like pine and nutmeg, kind of reminding me of Christmas. She looked sort of familiar, but I don't know why.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Hi Jason! What are you doing here?" she asks.
I blink in confusion. "Do I know you?"
She knits her eyebrows. "I'm Drew? I was in your Advisory class last year? I'm in your Chemistry class?"
Then I remember her. "Oh. Right." Drew Tanaka, the bitchiest girl at our school. Even more bitchy than Reyna. She always has this girl, Lacy, at her side ALL the time. She's really mean and controlling, not to mention annoying.
"So what are you doing here?" Drew asks.
I shrug. "I'm here with my sister. I was watching Romeo and Juliet."
"So you got bored during the movie and decided to come out here?"
"Yeah," I half lie.
She grins. "You know, Lacy was supposed to come with me to watch Grown Ups 2 but she's sick with the flu. You wanna come?"
I think for a second. "Alright," I say. Anything to get my mind off of Piper and Leo.
After the movie
Drew and I come out of the theater, laughing and talking. I actually had a really good time. I guess she isn't really that bad. Hmm.
She goes as soon as she sees her ride, and I walk away. I find Thalia waiting outside, with a scowl on her face.
"Where were you?" she demands as I reach her.
"Oh, sorry. I went to another movie and lost track of time."
She rolls her eyes. "Ugh, Piper and Leo were worried. I was worried. I called you but you didn't pick up!"
"My phone was off. Sorry," I mumble. "Where are they?"
"Who?"
"Piper and Leo."
"Oh. They left."
I look down. "Oh. Okay. Well, let's just go home, I guess."
She drives home in silence. "So what movie did you go to?" Thalia asks, breaking the silence.
"Grown Ups 2."
"You were with a girl?"
I stare at her, startled. "How-how'd you-"
"So there IS a new girl," she teases.
I grin. "It's not like that."
"Uh-huh. What's her name?"
"Drew."
"Hmm. Simple name. I'm gonna have to meet her."
I laugh. "Alright."
Piper's POV
On Monday
I see Jason in the morning at the balcony playing with his phone before first period and march up to him. "Where were you?" I demand.
He looks up at me, with a bored expression on his face. "What do you mean?"
"Friday. The movies. I was worried." I cross my arms and glare at him.
He shrugs, nonchalantly. He looks back at his phone. "I went to a different movie with Drew."
"Who?"
"Drew. A girl."
"Oh," I say. I don't really know who that is but I heard some people talking about her. "So that's the new girl you're dating?" I ask. I didn't know he had plans to go to a movie with a girl. Not that I care. Do I? But he was with his sister. How'd he just go off with a girl?
He rolls his eyes. "Gods, Piper. No."
"Alright then," I mutter. Gods. Attitude much?
"What are you doing?" I ask, peeking at his phone.
He leans away from me. "None of your business," he snaps.
I blink, a little hurt. "Fine, then," I snap back. "You don't have to be so rude."
"And you don't have to be so nosy. Can you leave me alone?"
I clench my fists. "Okay! Gods, Jason." I stomp away, leaving him alone.
Wow! Wow! WOW!
Okay, I know how all of us pretty much hate Drew, but I need her for something.
I know it seems more like Liper/Peo but trust me, it's not really gonna happen.
And I know that the fight at the end was kind of disappointing, but...WHATEVSS.
I know this chapter was kinda sucky but I promise that the next one will be better
Until next time then.
Review?
