(Just think Reyna and Tara had a hard time during the procedure and panicked here and there. I ran out of ideas for the procedure so :/)
IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE!
A/N ~ Well hello there all my Jeyna readers (and Jasper readers if ur reading this :/) and maybe regular readers! It's Sweet PRESENTING...THE SUPER EPIC AWESHUM STORY FINALE CHAPTER! I'm rlly so so so so so so (include 1 million more SO's here) sorrrrrrrrrrrry for lateeee updates! It's still summer vacay for me (sadly ending soon) so, me and my family made a last minute road trip plan. It was like 4 days ago, but during the trip I was listening to A LOT of songs by Taylor Swift from her RED album, and the songs just reminded me soo much of Jeyna! So, pretty much I started writing more :p
Now tht I look back of wht I written up there ^^^ I noticed I have put "so" a lot xDDD
Anyways, after this chap, there will be an epilogue (duh!) and then sadly, it'll be the end of "A Reckless Affection" :(. Although, I am putting a NEW STORY OF JEYNA! This time, it'll be a high-school AU! And, since school is starting soon (and I am a freshman) More inspiration will overflow!
The High-school AU will probs be up soon cuz I already have the cover done and the 1st chap! (I've had these done for about a week xDD)
Enough of my rant now and enjoy the chap!
EDIT:
GAWD DANGIT I HATE MYSELF! Im so sorry for updates like OMG I'm a freshmen in school, and like my locker wouldn't open! Turns out it was broken! Then they got it fixed and gave it to some other girl. The I got a new locker but tht was broken too! Thankfully my 3rd one was alright! I wasn't able to finish this but 4000 words is pretty damn much. So this is part 1 hopefully if I have time I can complete part 2.
Jason
I was waiting patiently outside the infirmary. Bellona had to knock both Tara and Reyna into a coma again, and gods was that brutal. Bellona is the war goddess, she can basically knock you out with a flick of her wrist, but anyways I am getting out of topic. The reason Tara and Reyna had to be in a coma again, is so they're minds can be back to their actual body. It's basically the same thing with the fear procedure Reyna went through, but instead they are in each other's bodies and will have to think what will be other person do in situations good and bad.
Bellona explained all this to me because of course I will be curious about what monstrosity they have to go through to switch minds back. Now that I replayed all these thoughts in my mind, I started having a headache.
"I still think if Piper put them in a coma, it would've been less painful." Bobby said matter-of-factly. Gwen, Dakota, and me all look at him with a look that meant are you seriously that stupid? Earlier, we were thinking of ways how to get Tara and Reyna back to their coma. Our ideas were definitely painful. Like, being pushed and their head colliding with cement, banging their head to a metal pole, and of course Bellona doing it herself. But then, out of blue Bobby suggested Piper. Even though I have forgiven her, I know her, she has changed so I don't think Piper will be back to her normal-self anytime soon.
"Yeah, less painful because Reyna would probably be in Elysium." Gwen retorted. Bobby shrugged.
As a few hours past, Bellona came out with a disappointing face. With that kind of look, I was worried that Reyna didn't make it...and Tara...but mostly Reyna.
"Th-They're..." Bellona started sounding like she was about to cry. But then, her face went up with a smile, "They're ok!" she says happily. All our faces lit up, and I heard the doors opening. Both Reyna and Tara came out, and just by how they walked towards us I could already tell it worked. Tara was walking casually with her arms swinging at her sides, and Reyna was walking with pure posture and her chin up.
Yup definitely Reyna.
"C'mon, let's go celebrate." I say.
"What's the occasion?" Reyna asked. I thought for a bit, but then answered.
"Well, other than you and Tara being back to normal. The legionaries and campers finally learned to get along, so both of the camps are officially allying to defeat the giants. I say one last good time before we all head to war. Right?" I explained. It took a couple of minutes for everyone to engulf all the information, but in time, they all agreed. Then of course out-of-nowhere, Chiron came in.
"Then it is settled. One last party before we battle those giants." He said with a chuckle and smile. All of us cheered, and Reyna actually clapped her hands and had short smile. Hey, you take what you can get.
Reyna
"I still don't think this is necessary." I said while helping Jason set the tables in the dining pavilion.
"You really need to get out more Reyna." Jason says with a smirk. I let that comment slide for now because I have been saying that this is not even necessary for the past hour.
Jason was placing all the plates down carefully, as I lay all the utensils. Although he might think this, but I can see him looking up at me from time to time. Jason was done with his work, and I just needed to place a few more forks and spoons down. Just when I finished I see Dakota and Bobby walking up to Jason at the other side of the table.
"Jason!" They both say in unison.
"Me!" Jason replied jokingly. I smirk, of course he'd say that.
When the two finally reached to Jason, they were out of breath. "We...need...your help!" Dakota said while catching his breath in between his sentence.
"I'm all ears."
Bobby was able to breath evenly now, so he starts, "It's about Gwen." When I heard my best friend's name my eyes widen. Uh-oh, usually when they need help and it's about Gwen, it usually ends with the two stooges seeing her wrath.
"This can't be good..." Jason says.
Bobby and Dakota look at each other, then to Jason, then back at each other and nodded. "Webothlikegwenbutwedontknowwhoshouldbewithher!" They said really fast.
Jason raised an eyebrow and so did I.
"I don't speak gibberish."
Dakota sighed. "We both like Gwen, but we don't know who should be with her."
Wow. That's a shocker. Did I even hear right?
Jason was speechless. It was so silent that you can practically hear everyone blink just like in cartoons that Bobby forces me to watch.
"Um. Erm...I think you should...well-" Before I could hear what Jason was about to say to this, I felt a hand griping my arm, and I was pulled away in the bushes.
Deja vu. Didn't Piper do this to me before? I wonder what she has to say now.
When I look at the person who pulled me into the bushes, to my surprise it was the one and only, Gwendolyn. She kept checking if anyone was spying on us, and judging by her nodding, I predict that no one is. And, I was right!
"Gwen, do you mind telling me why you have dragged me here?" I ask.
Gwen didn't speak for a moment, then sighed and criss-crossed her legs. "Well, I over-heard what the boys were talking about." No surprise there.
"And, as much as I hate those idiotic-gods-forsaken-romans, I have liked them...for a looooooong time." She admitted.
I knew it.
I smirk at her confession. "Finally you have admitted that! You may have not noticed, but you and those 2 dimwits' admiration has been very obvious from the start." In all of the years I have seen Gwen, she has never and I mean NEVER blushed before, until this very day.
"Well, they both like you and you like both of them. Although, you can only pick one. Who will it be Gwen?" Gwen thought for a moment, stroking her imaginary beard, and then shrugged.
"That's my problem! I like both of them, but I can only choose one, I don't want any of them to get hurt, and I don't want the one who I don't pick's friendship to be ruined. Gah, Reyna, what do I do? I'm in cross-roads!" Gwen said, with a frustrated tone.
She buried her face in her hands. I placed my hand on her shoulder and had a sympathetic look on my face.
"I think, you should give it time. See they're actions, how they treat you, and remember memories you had with each of them separately. Then, you choose." I reply. Gwen looked at me, and then nodded.
We both exit from the bushes, and the minute we were in open view, Gwen was almost tackled by none-other than Dakota and Bobby."
Piper
I was filling up a punch bowls with different kinds of sodas, and then spiked them with a little bit of nectar. Chiron told me to do so, because boy, nectar is really good.
When I was done, I spotted Jason talking to Dakota and Bobby who had frantic expressions on their faces. I swoon at how the sunlight hits Jason's face and it makes it seem like his skin is shining and his blue eyes are sparkling.
My eyes then wandered a bit and landed on Reyna who was listening to the three boys' conversation.
Ugh, can't believe she is back. Though, it was the only way for me to get back to friends with Jason. That night at the Argo, when Jason made it official that we were done, I was totally fine. He said we could be friends still, and that is better than him hating every piece of me. Although, when I went out to the deck where I saw two figures standing together, it broke my heart and shattered it to pieces basically. If you didn't catch on who the two figures were, it was Jason and Reyna. Gods, all the roman girls have been on full non-stop with "Jeyna" feels. It makes me sick every time when I hear that ship name. Blech!
I was glaring at Reyna, until I saw her being pulled into the bushes. I couldn't help but want to know who did that, and why. I slowly tiptoe over to the bushes, and stood behind a cabin wall from the outside, which was near from where I heard voices from. When I leaned my eyes closer to the bushes, I heard two voices, Reyna's and Gwen's I think.
"And, as much as I hate those idiotic-gods-forsaken-romans, I have liked them...for a looooooong time." Gwen said.
Hmm, I bet she is talking about Dakota and Bobby. Those 3 are stuck like glue!
"Finally you have admitted that! You may have not noticed, but you and those 2 dimwits' admiration has been very obvious from the start." Reyna says.
"That's my problem! I like both of them, but I can only choose one, I don't want any of them to get hurt, and I don't want the one who I don't pick's friendship to be ruined. Gah, Reyna, what do I do? I'm in cross-roads!" Gwen said, with a frustrated tone.
"I think, you should give it time. See they're actions, how they treat you, and remember memories you had with each of them separately. Then, you choose."
Gwen is choosing one of them...well, Reyna is always respectful and cares about others more than herself. And obviously Gwen would be one of the most she cares about. That gives me an idea...
Gwen (In this chap, im making POVs of A BUNCH OF PPL! :D)
Just as I get out of the bushes, I felt a hard force knock me down to the ground. Luckily, the soft grass broke my fall.
Whoever pushed me I swear would be darned to freaking tartarus after I get up!
I stood up and brushed all the dirt from my clothes. When I looked down, Dakota and Bobby were both face-planted in the dirt. I should've known better that it was these two. For gods' sake, what if they're gonna ask me about who I want to be with? What will I say? Gods, the last time I was this worried was when some furies almost captured me just as I was about to cross the Little Tiber.
"Gwen!" They both say while standing up not giving a care about how dirty they-looked.
"Uhm, yeah?" I ask trying to sound casual. I failed miserably.
"We both like you. But there is only one of you, so we want to know who would you want to be with, or you actually don't like us at all." Dakota said.
They both looked at me with big eyes.
Geez, since when did these two get serious.
I looked down on the ground. What am I supposed to say? I mean, I love those two to death, but I don't know who to choose.
Just as I was about to answer, a hand covered my mouth, and I found out, it was Reyna's. Thank the gods that she has a solutions to this. I was afraid to almost faint! I know, I sound really unlike me at the moment, but with all this worry, pressure and frustration, it can change you.
"Look you two. I have some work to do, and I need Gwen's help, so she'll be back to answer your question after I am done with her." Reyna said strictly.
Both of the two boys sigh, nod, and walk away almost as if nothing just happened. You know they're home could just end up in flames, turning to ashes, and they'd still find a way to be positive the next day.
Oh wait, that did happen.
Anyways.
Reyna took her hand off my mouth and I sighed in relief. "Thanks for making up that story to help me escape from that mess Reyna."
"Oh, you think I made it up? Well, no, I was serious. Annabeth already made a bunch of designs for the new Camp Jupiter, and I was supposed to check on them today, but I still have to help Jason with the rest of the party decors, so meet Annabeth at her cabin which is Athena's." Reyna told me.
I rolled my eyes. "Fine, fine."
*New Setting :D*
I entered the Athena cabin which looked fairly clean. As I go deeper inside, I spot Annabeth looking at something on a table. "Hello?" I say.
Annabeth jumped. "Oh, it's only you. Hey, come see what I have planned for your camp. I've always wanted to be an architect, and now Reyna has given me the chance to actually do my dream. I came up with ideas non-stop! Come, I want to know your opinion."
I nod slowly, then walk towards her. On the table where dozens of papers that were sketches of different structures, and variety in each. I've gotta say that I'm impressed, although I can't appreciate the drawings at all at the time because the only thing buzzing in my head is whether I choose Dakota or Bobby.
"Gwen. Gwen? Gwen!?" Annabeth said.
"Huh, what?" I ask.
"You haven't answered my questions. Is there something on your mind?"
I was about to say no, but then stopped. Maybe Annabeth can help with my problem. "Yes actually there is. You see, Dakota, Bobby and I are very close friends, and now we all have feelings for each other. Like, they both like me and I both like them, but I don't know who to choose." I explain.
Annabeth nodded and was looking around the room as if the answer was just somewhere. "I don't exactly know how it must be to be you at this moment, but I think I have a solution. Before I tell you what it is though, I'm pretty thirsty." I raised an eyebrow at that last part. She was rummaging through a box of what must be where some drinks are.
"Coke, no. Fanta, no. Kool-Aid...no." She threw the Kool-Aid pouch over her shoulder, and I caught it. Maybe I can give this to Dakota later. I thought.
As I was thinking when I should give the kool aid to Dakota, Annabeth said, "Aha!"
"Aha what?"
"You should choose Dakota." She replies simply.
I raised my eyebrow even higher than before. "Excuse me?"
"You obviously care about Dakota if you caught the Kool-Aid than letting it hit the floor. And I bet you were thinking about giving this to him."
Does Minerva's Greek children have like the power of mind-reading?
"I guess your right. Either that or it's just my reflexes. Though, I did catch it then any other drink. Yeah, I think i'll choose Dakota. I like Bobby, but now that I think about it, I like Dakota more. Thanks Annabeth!" I say. With that, I run out the Athena cabin, and I could see Annabeth smirking at the corner of my eye.
I spot Dakota going to the Mess Hall. I followed him, and just as I was about to surprise him, I heard another voice. A girl's voice. A greek voice. I came up with the solution of who this greek is. Piper.
"I've been expecting you." I hear her say.
"Why did you ask me to come here?" Dakota asked.
"Oh nothing. Just...yeah nothing." Piper said seductively. There was a long silence, and I got curious so I open the door just a crack, and peeked inside. What I saw was horrifying. Piper and Dakota was in a full-on lip-lock! All I felt was anger in me, but then, tears filled my eyes. My vision blurred, and I was happy about that just so I couldn't see what was happening. I dropped the Kool-Aid on the floor and ran away wiping the tears from my eyes. This isn't like me. I've never cried. Never.
I am not gonna be weakened by some greek, and a back-stabbing best friend.
Dakota
"Why did you ask me to come here?" I asked. I was with Bobby, and then all of a sudden a whisper told me to come to the mess hall at this time. At first I didn't want to go, but I had nothing better to do so I came. And now that I see Piper just standing in front of me, my theory of a Kool-Aid filled hall was proven wrong :/
"Oh nothing. Just...yeah nothing." She said seductively
I raised an eyebrow, and sooner or later, she cupped my face and placed her lips against mine.
What the heck? I thought she liked Jason. Has her feelings changed? Will Reyna and Jason finally be together with no problems! Yay! Wait a second, I still like Gwen. Then, why am I still kissing Piper. Yuck!
I was so lost in thought, that a minute or 2 passed, and finally I shoved Piper away. I heard a door close, but figured it was just the wind. I turned around Justin case to see a cherry Kool-Aid on the floor. Obviously, I pick up, and then take a couple of sips before I start ranting to Piper.
"What do you think you're doing!? Are you totally mad!? I thought you liked Jason! And besides, I like Gwen. What the tartarus did you think will happen if you did this!?" I shout before sipping more of some Kool-Aid.
"I thought a lot of things will happen if I did this." She said with a innocent yet sinister smile.
"Well Pluto's Pauldrons!" I curse. With that, I went out of the Mess Hall, and so did Piper. I tried walking away but she just followed me.
When Jason said Piper was too clingy, he meant it.
Reyna
"You are such a tease, Grace." I say trying to reach for the cups Jason held up so high. Gods, why does he have to be so tall.
"C'mon Reyna, I thought you were more smarter than this. Maybe I'm just better now." Jason arrogantly said.
I sigh. "Fine. You win."
Jason had a surprised look. "Really?" He said while lowering the cups. I knew he would do that.
In a flash, I grab the cups from his hands and start placing them on the table. "Nope!" Jason narrowed his eyes, and gave me the "Really?" face. While I simply nod in reply. As I still place more cups on the table, Jason went to the kitchen to get the food out, and I was surprise attacked by Gwen. I jumped at her instant appearance, but the only thing she did was grab half of the cups I had and muttered uncensored words to herself.
"You ok there Gwen?" I ask.
"No, not really." she replies bluntly.
"May I ask why?" I say trying to be careful with my words. You see, Gwen is like a time-bomb when she is angry. Pretend your words are wires you have to cut. If you say the wrong words, she'll basically explode in a full-on rage.
She took heavy deep breaths, and it seems that she has calmed down. "PiperandDakotakissedwhenIjustwasabouttosayIpickDa kotaandnowIamextremelyangryatthebothofthemexspecia llythatgreek."
My eyes widen. I tried to decipher what she just said and I think I got it.
"Piper and Dakota kissed when you just were about to say you pick Dakota and now you are extremely angry at the both of them especially that greek?"
She nodded.
Piper? For gods' sake I thought that girl was done with trouble! She just never knows when to stop can she? Oh that little greek will soon learn her lesson. Mess with me fine. Mess with who I care about, not fine! I have enough with Piper and her idiotic-self. Oh, I want revenge.
When I was done with the last cup, I turn around to see none-other than the evil greek princess herself. I looked beside me to tell Gwen, but when I looked she was already stomping her way to Piper.
"You coniving, evil, little, GREEK!" Gwen yelled. She tackled Piper to the ground, and they were both struggling to have dominance. A bunch of demi-gods already crowded the two yelling "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" over and over again. Ugh, how immature.
Piper was kicking and pulling hair, while Gwen was punching and biting.
I ran in between the two trying to break them up, but they were like cats fighting over some toy. When I see Jason come out of the kitchen, I yelled, "Jason! A little help over here!" He immediately placed all the food he had on the table, and grabbed Piper's arms, while I grab Gwen's. Thankfully, we pulled them apart, although, Gwen got loose and so did Piper and they started fighting all over again. I had enough of this foolish fighting, so I took matters into my own hands. I punched Gwen in the stomach, while elbowing hard Piper's also. They both were lying on the ground groaning.
"What is up with you two!? Piper! You just never learn how to stop will you!? I am done, and everybody else is done with your stupid schemes." I hear Gwen smirk behind. Oh, she thinks I'm only blaming Piper? Well I'm not.
"And you!" I turn to Gwen.
"We are romans! You are a roman! Today you have shown weakness! I am very disappointed in you Gwen. I thought you would act better." I say bluntly.
"Also all of you demi-gods. You see two people fighting and you do nothing except watch? That is just some foolish madness! If this is how we act against the Giants we won't stand a chance because of your idiotic behavior! If I see anyone doing something so stupid once again, you'll hear from me."
Everyone had scared faces, and started backing away to their normal doings.
That settles that...hopefully
A/n ~ don't worry if there isn't much Jeyna and Jasper drama there will be tons in next part ;)
