Piper's POV
Leo's cabin is right next to mine, and I heard a bang. So naturally, I ran in.
"Leo!"
"Um, hey." He said, curiously. He was wearing his Iron Man pajamas and sitting on his bed, fiddling with some pieces of something.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"I heard a loud bang."
"Oh, um, I... I tripped and fell." I could tell he was lying.
"What's wrong with your hand?" I asked, when I saw his knuckles were red and bleeding.
"Oh, I didn't notice that." He said as he got up to grab some bandages. We all had a first aid kit in our cabin, just in case.
"I got it." I said, picking up the bandages and fancy spray that cleans wounds without it stinging. I should probably find out what that's called.
"Thanks."
"Not a problem." I say as I spray the stuff on his knuckle. "So that must have been a pretty weird fall, huh?"
"Uh, yeah. Pretty weird and stuff."
I wrapped the bandage tightly around his hand, and the got up to throw the packaging away.
"Well, um, night." He said as I was walking out the door.
"Goodnight, Leo." I shut the door and ran into my room. Then I jumped on my bed and a tear rolled down my face. But just one, because I wanted to tell him that I loved him back so bad, but I just couldn't. I just, couldn't. Jason is so good to me, and everything would be weird on the ship. They were best friends. Best friends. I can't come between them like that. There's no way.
