I love writing cliffhangers so much! I know, I'm sounding like a horrible person but there so much fun to write. To my fellow writers, you probably know! Thank you to anyone who followed, favorited, or reviewed on my story! It means so much to me! And 43 followers?! That's insane! Thanks you so much! Now I'm going to let you read my chapter because you Demigodz have been probably waiting for this.
I don't own anything, except for the plot. If you want to know the songs I use, then just go to my profile! (I don't own those either)
Go on and read!
Frank
I was at my house doing my left over homework when I heard my door bell ring. I walked down stairs and looked through the peep hole in the door. I saw Khione; I took a deep breath and opened the door. She looked at me and walked into my house, "Yes, please come in," I said under my breath.
"What's going on with you and…..Hayley" Khione said with spite.
I was taken back, there wasn't anything going on with me and Hayley. We were close friends and all, but I would cheat on anyone. At least I think that's why she's here, he probably thinks that I'm cheating on her with Hayley; great.
"Nothing, we are just friends," I told her. Khione looked at me with a cold, hard glared.
"Nothing, it's not 'nothing'. Then why are you spending all of your time with her and not your actual girlfriend?" she spat at me.
"I don't spend all of my time with her!" I told her; half trying to convince her and half trying to convince me.
Khione looked at me like I lost my head, "I've only seen you twice this week and that was only you saying 'hi' to me in the hallway at school. That's not normal for people like me! The last boyfriend I had spent every last moment with me!"
"I'm not that type of boyfriend. I have my own life you know," I told her harshly. It came out harsher then I thought it would.
"You were when we first started dating!" She yelled at me.
"People change. Everyone changes at some point in they lives, you just have to accept it and move on," I told her.
"Yes, but everyone changes for a reason. What's yours?" She said to me.
I changed when I met Hayley, and I changed again when I saw Hazel at the concert. It's not my fault. Everyone changes at some point; it might be someone or something, but everyone changes.
"You, you changed me into someone I never wanted to be; someone who puts themselves in front of other people, and doesn't care about other people. I think that we should break up," I told her.
She glared at me, "Fine, you want to break up? Then consider us done! I didn't even want to date you anyways!"
Khione stomped her foot on the ground, turned around and walked through the door. "You will regret this!" she told me before slamming the door.
Great; I really hope that she doesn't retaliate that badly. Who knows, she's kind of unpredictable. I went back upstairs, unlocked my phone and sent a text to Nico.
Dude, I just broke up with Khione. I'm a free man!
After a few seconds, I got a text back.
Great; I have news too. Reyna just broke up with me, we are free men!
Wait; Reyna broke up with you? Don't you think that's kind of weird?
Eh, I'm going to take what I can get.
Cool, I'll see you later.
I finished my homework and started listening to music; the next song that was on my playlist was, and don't judge me or anything, but it was Boom Clap by the Demigodz. I chose it because a) I actually really like this song and b) reminds me that Hazel, Piper, Thalia, and Annabeth are always going to be in my (well our) life.
Then I got a text from Jason.
Met Percy and I at Star Space Records. We have a surprise for you.
Sure
I drove to Star Space Records and parked in the closest spot to the door. I opened the door to see Hazel setting up stuff in the according area. At first I thought it was Hayley, but then I saw her eyes; her unmistakable gold eyes. I didn't realize that I was staring until Hazel jumped; realizing that I was staring at her.
"Frank?" Hazel said. "What are you doing here?"
"Ummmm," I said. "Jason texted me to come here for a surprise; I'm guessing that you're the surprise."
"Well, I've never been described as a surprise before," Hazel laughed. The room fell into a comfortable and awkward silence.
"So, are you enjoying your life with Khione?" she asked me.
"I kind of broke up with her; earlier today actually," I told her.
I saw Hazel give a little smile, "That's good, to be honest she….."
"…she's what? The most horrible girlfriend in the world? Yeah, sure is or was," I laughed, and she laughed too.
I smiled. I'd never thought that I would hear here laugh again. At least for a long time; at this moment I so happy that I broke up with Khione, the one people I need in my life are my family and friends.
"Hey Frank, do you know why Jason texted us to meet him here? He said that there would be a surprise-" I heard Nico say from the entrance. "Hazel?"
"Nico?" Hazel said as she stepped closer to Nico.
Nico gave her a smile and opened his arms accepting a hug that he probably knew would come sooner or later with Hazel. I don't think I've ever seen Nico hug someone that wasn't Hazel; he has never really been the touchy feely kind of person. I don't blame him through, most people are kind of weird (the bad kind of weird; the type of weird, like, keeps people in his or her basement weird).
"Are you the surprise?" Nico asked half smiling.
"Just so you know, I'm still mad at both of you for what you guys did to my friends and I. And, that's the second time that I've been called a surprise; am I really that special to the both of you?" Hazel laughed.
Nico glared at me and I raised me hands in surrender.
"So, Nico, are you still dating that horrid girlfriend of yours?" Hazel asked Nico as she put an arm around him.
"Nope, she broke up with me earlier today. Truth be told, I've never been happier," Nico said.
"Good, that's good," Hazel said, "and here comes the rest of the band."
I turned around and saw Annabeth, Thalia, and Piper walk in with Percy and Jason behind them.
"We need to tell to you something," Piper said.
"Pipes, are you sure?" Annabeth asked her.
Piper looked at Hazel and Thalia, who both smiled and nodded. It looked like they were saying that something was going to be okay, or that Piper could tell us something. Piper looked back at Annabeth; she went over to Annabeth and whispered something in her ear.
"Do you know a Thea, Hayley, Alice, or a Paige by a chance?" Annabeth asked cringing a little bit with each word.
"Yes, how do you know that?" Percy said.
"Well, it's because…it's because," Annabeth stuttered.
"You know, this would be much easier if we just show you; because saying it is going to be difficult and I don't like difficult," Piper said.
"Okay, sure," Jason said.
Annabeth went in Thalia's car; Piper went in Hazel's car, Jason went in Percy's, I went in my car and Nico went in his car. We followed them back to a very familiar house; we all parked in their driveway and got out.
"You're them; aren't you? Your Alice, Hayley, Thea, and Paige," Percy asked, looking down at his shoes.
"Who knew Seaweed Brain was going to be the one who figured it out," Annabeth said.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Jason asked, breaking the kind of awkward silence. Okay, it was really awkward silence; on a scale of red to green it was a solid purple.
"Because, we didn't want to come here; my dad kind of made us. We didn't tell you because when we were being bullied you guys didn't do anything. You let your girlfriends bully us till the point where we wanted to leave. I'm sorry if the first people who didn't get a notice that we were back was you," Piper said with spite.
"We put on contacts, dyed our hair; we did everything to make sure we didn't get recognized," Annabeth continued.
"We broke up with them by the way," Nico mumbled under his breath, but everyone heard him.
"Actually you guys broke up with them; unfrontunetly, Jason and I are very much in relationships," Percy said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"It doesn't matter Percy; you still didn't do anything, nothing at all," Annabeth told him.
"Can we please not fight?" Hazel asked us.
"Fine, but you guys can't tell anyone," Thalia said.
We nodded our heads. I don't know if the others understand, but I do. If that happened to us then I would be pretty mad as well.
"Come on Jason," Piper said dragging him in the house.
"Why?" Jason asked, gentle pulling away his arm and rubbing it. Piper must have a strong grip.
"We still have school you know, the duet. Remember?" Piper said. Jason nodded his head and followed her back into the house.
"You guys can go in to the house if you want, you know, if your not mad at us," Hazel told them, heading into the house.
"Annabeth, can I talk to you?" I heard Percy say, as I walked into the house.
Percy
"Annabeth, can I talk to you?" I asked her.
"I guess."
Annabeth carefully grabbed my hand; like she was afraid that I was going to take it away. I gave her a smile and squeezed her hand, she smiled back at me and walked be to the back of her house. We walked through a gate that led to a swimming pool with an umbrella and tables; there were also some trees that created shade on the green grass.
"What did you want to talk about?" Annabeth asked me. She let go of my hand, which kind of disappointed me, took off her shoes and dipped her feet into the pool while sitting on the edge. I did the same thing, sitting down beside her.
"I wanted to talk about us, actually," I told her.
Annabeth scrunched her eyes in confusion, which I found was really cute…don't tell Rachel. "What is there to talk about?" she asked kicking the water creating little waves in the pool.
"I know we didn't really leave on the best of terms," I told her.
"We didn't really leave on any terms. We just kind of left; I'm still surprised that you guys aren't mad at us. I would probably be a little mad at you," Annabeth said.
I was mad at first, actually I was furious. I don't know why they did what they did or if I would ever forgive them. I just knew that I was angry. I finally stopped being mad, when my mom told me what I did to make them leave. At first I was angry that her for telling me that I did something to contribute to what they did. Be when I let her finish, I understood why.
She told me that Jason, Frank, Nico, and I didn't do anything to help them; and it hurt Annabeth more because we've known each other much longer before we knew everyone else. When she told me, I accepted it; and I stopped being mad and started feeling guilty.
"I was mad, and then I wasn't anymore," I told her. "After I stopped being mad, I just felt really guilty for ever doing anything to you, Piper, Thalia, or Hazel. And I don't blame you if you're mad at me."
Annabeth closed her eyes, and grabbed my hand. I saw a single tear coming from her eye and I put my hand on her cheek and whipped the tear away with my thumb. "I'm that I made you felt that way Percy," she said.
"It's okay," I told her.
We started to lean in; I was a centimeter away from her lips, when I felt an empty space.
"I'm sorry Percy, but I can't not when you're with Rachel. Even if I don't like her I can't do this," Annabeth said. She took her feet out of the pool and was about to get up. I pushed her in the pool; crap.
"What the Hades is your problem Seaweed Brain?!" Annabeth screamed at me. Then I felt a pull at my foot and I was underwater, I surfaced and came face to face with Annabeth.
"What if I wasn't dating Rachel?" I asked her, treading water to keep me from not drowning.
"What?" Annabeth asked, treading water as well.
We were face to face.
"What if, I wasn't dating Rachel? Would you go out with me?" I asked.
"So, what you're asking me is, if you broke up with Rachel and you asked me out; what would I say?" Annabeth asked.
I nodded my head.
"Yes," she said, getting out of the pool and walking inside.
I guess that I have to break things off with Rachel, to be with the one that I actually like or maybe love.
Jason
"So, I was thinking the song could have a guitar in it," Piper said; walking over to the guitars.
"I still don't know why you didn't tell me," I whispered. I didn't mean for her to hear it, be she did.
"Do you really want to talk about this now?" Piper asked me taking the guitar off of the stand.
"Yeah, I think I do," I told her.
"What do you want to know?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving?"
Piper sighed, "You might want to sit down."
Piper sat down on the piano bench and I sat down beside her. When I sat down, our legs touch and I felt a shock. I'm guessing that Piper felt it too because she jumped from her seat and landed on the floor.
"Keeping your reputation as Sparky?" Piper smiled at me, and I smiled back.
I offered her my hand and she grabbed it, I pulled her up from the ground and back onto the piano bench. I didn't let go of her hand, but she didn't seem to mind. So I left my hand in her hand; it felt right.
"I-we didn't tell you that we were going to leave because we didn't think you cared. We believed that you cared more about you girlfriends than us; later through the year we knew that it was true. We knew that you guys were going to be with them for who knows how long and we couldn't take it; so we left," Piper said in a soft voice.
"I'm sorry, I had no idea," I told her.
"I don't blame you if you hate us or me," she said.
"I could never hate you Pipes," I told her.
I could only imagine what they were going through when we told them we were dating the people they hate the most. Drew, Reyna, Rachel, and Khione, all knew that they didn't like them. I don't know what drove them into being so heartless.
"My turn to ask you something," Piper said too me with a smile.
"Shoot."
"Why are you dating them?"
I looked into Piper's ever changing eyes and sighed, "I don't know why, I remember waking up one day with her as my girlfriend. Right before you left, I was thinking about breaking up with her; then you left and, I know this sounds wrong, I kept her around to keep my mind off of you."
"So you're using her," Piper smirked.
"Well, kind of yeah. I know that I shouldn't use people, it's so wrong to use people. That's why I'm breaking up with her," I told her.
"Okay, let's get working on our song shall we?" Piper asked.
"We shall," I told her.
She didn't take her hand out of mine. (Well, only when she was playing the guitar; but she slipped her hand right into mine after.)
Hazel
"Are you ready?" I asked Frank.
"Yeah, although I haven't sang at all in my life in front of anyone but you. I'm doing great," Frank said.
Today is the day that we are performing our song for music class. I got to say that I'm kind of nervous because this song is kind of personal. Frank and I wrote it when I was still Hayley, and I was writing as Hazel. No matter what name I have, I'm always going to write like Hazel.
"Okay, class, today is the start of presentations. Hayley and Frank your up," Mr. Apollo said.
We both nodded and made our way up to the front of the class. Earlier, I asked Piper if she can play the piano and Annabeth if she can play the guitar; and being the awesome friends they are they said yes.
"Whenever your ready," Mr. Apollo said, and sat down on a near by chair with a clipboard.
"Are you okay?" I asked Frank. He looked a little bit green.
"Yeah, just give me a minute," Frank told me. He took a few deep breathes and looked a little less green.
"Frank," I said, I put a hand on his shoulder; "Just pretend that we are singing in the studio; just you, me, the piano, and guitar."
He gave me a nod, and I gave a thumbs up to Piper and Annabeth. I started to sing.
(Hazel: Bold, Frank: Italics, Hazel and Frank: Bold Italics)
Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece
Little do you know
I need a little more time
Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight
Little do you know
I need a little more time
I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Little do you know
I know you're hurting while I'm sound asleep
Little do you know
All my mistakes are slowly drowning me
Little do you know
I'm trying to make it better piece by piece
Little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies
Oh wait, just wait
I love you like I've never felt the pain,
Just wait
I love you like I've never been afraid,
Just wait
Our love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
I'll wait (I'll wait), I'll wait (I'll wait)
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait (I'll wait)
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
So lay your head on me
'Cause little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies
The whole class room was clapping. Frank and I smiled at each other and took our seats; I dew more people went and the bell rang.
"That song was so good, Hazel," Thalia whispered to me.
"Thanks," I told her.
"Maybe we can put it on our next album. I can just see it; Little Do You Know by Hazel Levesque featuring Frank Zhang," Piper said, still in a whisper so people didn't hear our actually names.
"I don't mind, how about you Frank?" I smiled up at him.
"Whatever makes you happy," Frank said.
Annabeth, Piper, and Thalia raised there eyebrows at him.
"I mean, sure, sounds great," Frank said awkwardly.
Piper rolled her eyes, "Come on, I'm hungry and food is food."
That was a pretty long chapter, if I do say so myself. I was about to post this tomorrow but my friend told me to post it today! I have no idea when I'm going to update next, but oh well. There was a little Percabeth, Jasper and Frazel in this chapter; until next time.
