Piper wasn't upset at Jason outburst.

She had dealt with worst and even more rude outbursts than that, but she found it sweet that Percy was still looking out for her. She knew that Percy's real reason to kick her out of the room was to tell their charges a few hurtful trues and he didn't want her around to calm the water. Percy was the 'direct and hurtful' approach.

Actually, they had been silently giggling when they heard the loud smack. Rushing back into the kitchen, the image of a Jason Grace holding his cheek and a crying Annabeth Chase explained more than anything. Piper could see Percy's frown and, before things escalated, he took Jason by the arm and dragged him away from the girls, leaving Piper to comfort Annabeth.

"Did he do something to you?" Piper questioned her. Annabeth shook her head, still crying. Piper realized the hurt had been emotional and not physical "Want me to beat him for you? I'm allowed since I have to protect you..." she explained, making Annabeth look up and chuckle a little "It will pass, boys will be boys..."

"Percy's not like that..." Annabeth pointed out and Piper nodded.

"Percy, unfortunately, had to grew up faster than most boys..." Piper took Annabeth back to her room and started to help her with her long wavy blonde hair, brushing it "He missed a lot of things, things I think he's grateful for, but they will come harder later in life..." Piper noticed how much attention Annabeth was putting into this. Maybe the scare what was she needed to leave this phase.

"You're not going to tell me, are you?" Piper chuckled at Annabeth's accurate guess.

"Those are tales that Percy can decide if to tell you or not..." Piper agreed with her, braiding her hair to the side "And, yes. I'm in most of them, but since those aren't my stories, I promise I'll never tell them..."

"I get you... I wouldn't tell many of Jason's most embarrassing moments, not even when he's driving me crazy..." Annabeth confessed, looking down. Piper sensed she was trying to ask something "Why he can't see what's going on...?" Piper sighed and turned her to have a face-to-face conversation.

"Annabeth, people cope differently to the same things... You- you seem to have taken the thoughtful path, analyzing possibilities and ditching old habits... Jason, well... It will take him a little longer, but he'll reach you..." she assured her, softly. Annabeth nodded and took a deep breath.

"Could we go to school apart from them? I don't feel like seeing him yet..."

"Percy and Jason had already left..." Piper informed her and Annabeth blinked in surprise. Apparently, she just figured out that the braiding was just wasting time to make her realize about it. The girls drove quietly to school, Annabeth looking out the window, which kind of worried Piper, who was behind the wheel. She could protect her from outsiders and dangers, but not from her own thoughts.

To Piper's big surprise, Leo was waiting them with sweet Hazel, both who looked kind of worried.

"I'd wait some time before getting in, if I were you" Leo warned her, but a smirk was dancing around his lips. Piper raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask. She didn't have to, as Annabeth asked for her.

"Why, what's going on?" Leo's smirk got wider and Piper feared what he'll say.

"Jason is having a row with his girlfriend-" Annabeth rushed to the building, Piper hot on her heels. She could hear the screams thanks to the intercom in her ear, but she had been ignoring them until now. When both girls reached the area, they found Percy laying on the lockers, trying not to laugh. Piper ignored if Leo or Hazel had followed them, and decided to make it up to them later.

"So, you decided to leave me there, in the dark night?!" Drew was screaming to Jason. Piper rolled her eyes and leaned next to Percy, who was chuckling. It was obvious that Drew's intention was to gather a crowd and make Jason uncomfortable. However, Jason wasn't backing away from the challenge of defending his position.

"I told you, I had an emergency call from my parents!" Jason argued, his face red. Piper ignored why it was red, but she didn't want to find out. Another slap, maybe...?

"Well, you should have ditched the call for me!" Drew's bluntly selfishness was enough for Annabeth to wanting to charge and attack her, but Piper stopped her, gently.

"Drew wasn't there waiting for him..." she surprised Annabeth, whose eyes opened wide "We had the entire school wired, we'd known if you guys were here..." she whispered at her charge, rubbing her shoulder with a smirk. Annabeth stared at her, but nodded.

"Drew, my brother-in-law had an accident!" Jason yelled, making the school whisper about it. Several were looking at them with pity in their eyes, knowing any kind of accident was hurtful, especially to a family member "He was rushed into a hospital!"

"Boo boo, cry me a river, Jason!" Jason's eyes showed his surprise upon the coldness of his girlfriend "Is time you choose, Jason! They or me!" Everyone gasped and Jason's eyes turned cold. Percy rolled his eyes and Piper knew he was about to jab Drew where it hurt her most.

"She's an idiot... Doesn't she realize that if she chooses her, he can't lavish her with parties and presents...?" Percy's comment was nonchalant, but it was loud enough for everyone to realize Drew wasn't original and was a gold-digger. Thankfully, Jason noticed that too.

"Then, we're over, Drew. Don't bother getting my attention again" Jason finished their relationship and walked away from the crowd, leaving an exposed and about to explode ex-girlfriend. Piper saw how Annabeth launched at Jason's arms to comfort him, all the fight from this morning forgotten. Both body guards shared a look.

Maybe this could be a good turn of events.

Hello and good afternoon to you all!
