Rumour Has It, By Adele (I don't own lyrics.)
She, she ain't real,
She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will,
Reyna stared at Jason's hand with Piper's hand wrapped affectionately around it. She looked like a typical daughter of Venus-Aphrodite, whatever. Perfect long brown hair, tall, tan and those trademark sun catcher eyes. The way she held herself practically screamed: "look at me". That graecuswould never know (and love) Jason like Reyna does.
She is a stranger,
You and I have history,
Or don't you remember?
Reyna kept looking enviously at Percy and Annabeth who were both practically in tears and still embracing.
Didn't Jason remember her like Percy remembered Annabeth? They had known each other for years but a couple of months of memory-missing bliss had erased her and put Piper right next to Jason where she used to be.
-Reyna lost herself in the duels they had that seemed to never end. One yelling at the other.
"You know you can't beat me."
"We'll see about that,"
Dagger on sword. Be would throw his weapon, spinning, up into the air and it would come down as a lance that ended up at her throat. She smiled, sidestepped and forced him to drop it.-
-There were days when it would rain, and while everyone else kept to the shelter and warmth of the barracks and villas, she and Jason would be alone in the thunderstorms. He would finger his coin like a fight was coming. The lightning would flash in a dangerously beautiful display, only safe when she was by the side of the son of Jupiter.-
"Don't you remember?" She searched for her Jason in the eyes of the Greek leader.
Sure, she's got it all,
But, baby, is that really what you want?
Reyna's mind had started picking out details like the fact that Piper was somehow managing to make jeans and an orange t-shirt look hot, and Reyna was wearing a rather undignified purple bed-sheet.
Piper was holding Jason's hand after a few months (it may have not even taken that long), while after years of close work Jason had never taken Reyna's hand.
When her mind ran out of things to compare it started wandering.
-if Jason is holding her hand in front of you then they probably didn't just get together. He probably kissed her, Reyna. He neverkissed you. You were his co-worker, and now you're a desperate part of his old life. An unwanted side affect of the move.-
Piper might have been better than Reyna, but was she what Jason needed.
Aurum growled at Jason, and followed Reyna as she stormed off.
Bless your soul, you've got your head in the clouds,
She made a fool out of you,
And, boy, she's bringing you down,
Reyna shook her head. Jason didn't seem to notice that with Piper doing all of the talking, he looked weak. Jason Grace: who fought Titans, led armies, rode winds, and called down lightning looked like a weak graecusleaning on pretty girl.
She made your heart melt,
But you're cold to the core,
Reyna finally managed to get Jason alone. They stood together on Temple Hill. After a few moments of awkward silence, Reyna spoke.
"Percy said he was willing to give you back the praetorship."
"You were in good hands while I was gone." His expression was blank, his eyes fixed on the horizon and his tone was cold.
"How was... Camp Half-blood?"
He started to speak, but his gaze was caught by Piper who was walking across the field of Mars with Annabeth. She smiled and waved up at him.
He brought his gaze back to Reyna and seemed to realise that he was really here for the first time.
"When did your memory come back?"
"Mostly in December when I got back from the quest and it gets clearer everyday."
"When did you remember... Me?"
He met her gaze and lightning seemed to flash in his eyes. He took her in his arms and whispered "When do you think?"
Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore,

Yay! A song fic, it's only been what, a month? Psh.
Kinda bad, I know, hope you liked it anyway! I'm starting to really like Adele so some more of her songs might show up! ;)
I've found that song fiction is getting harder and harder for me to write. But I'm not going to stop! :) I'm hammering out one for My Immortal, by
Evanescence (awesome song. You should go listen to it. but, don't. steal. my. idea. You have been warned.)
(as a side note: those of you who requested songs: I have been brainstorming them! I've not forgotten you.)
The thing is I'm really involved in The Masquerade, (insert shameless self-advertising bit. *pst* go read it! [and review])
Oh and just to let you know: In doing Script Frenzy in April. (*poke* you should do it too!) {if you are, message me!} :) so long story short: I'm going on hiatus... But fret not, I have what? 35 other stories for you can read! ;D
Please review!
PEACE
LOVE
