HAPPY FEAST OF FOUTUNA! I am planning on saying that to everyone I see today. I only did it to my dad so far, but it was funny. I wonder if I can get my 3 year old sister to say it... I taught her how to high-five people and how to knuckle punch someone, but not really punch them. But Chapter 21! I f only it was Chapter 24...that would be ironic. Oh, and one more thing. There is a part where I underlined some stuff. Those are Tristan's thoughts. If they are confusing, just don't say it in a review. I was having a hard time working on it. Kapheesh? BYE!

Tristan is upset. Piper had not been found for nearly three days, and he could not talk to the police directly.

"The press would find out." Mellie said when he asked for the search.

"They don't even know that you have a daughter." Gleeson agreed indirectly.

"The police say it is a run-away case anyway, so she will be found within the week."

"So, you are saying that they won't help find her and her friend?" He asked.

"They are saying that she will either be somewhere safe, or she will come back." Mellie clarified.

"Great, just great." Tristan muttered as her stormed out of the office. He needed something normal.

He started down to the kitchen, but it was 3:30 in the afternoon. No one wold be home then. Now, something you could do at 3:30 in the afternoon anywhere.

Check your voicemail.

That is a normal thing to do.

He went upstairs and got his iPhone from the charger. Tristan went and tapped Phone then Voicemail.

3 new Voicemails

Tristan had the time, so, why not?

The first voicemail was from a friend from filming The King of Sparta. He wanted to meet him for dinner.

The second voicemail was from Scarlett Johansson, who was potentlly his next co-star, if he signed on to one of the moviews he was offered.

The third was from a blocked number.

At first he was suspicious, he never had voicemails from unknown numbers. But if someone got his number, then they must of gotten it from someone who DID have his personal number. So he listened to the voice mail.

"Hey, you probaby know who this is. You probably are hating my guts now. But I want to talk to you, or now, say something, since I am in a voicemail."

Tristan knew who it was, and he did not like it.

"But the reason I called is that...is that...Well, I have to get the courage to tell you first, but I got your number from Piper's cell phone, and she is alive, not that she is dead, that would be ridiculous...and that she does not know that I am doing this. She would have my head if she found out."

At least she is alive, but if Piper did not know about the call, than why is he even calling?

But, I am scared. Of you.

Wait, you are afraid of me?

"Re-phrase that. I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of what I have to tell you."

What does he have to tell me that is so frighting?

"Ok, Leo, take a deep breath. I...Iaminlovewithyourdaughter."

What did he say?

"I probably should of slowed down, now I have to say it again. Here it is. I...am in love with your daughter."

What. The. Hell.

"So, you are probably freaking out right now, and that's fine by me. I would probably react the same way. But let me explain. I love her for many reasons."

Yeah, then you'll dump her. Teenage love does not last.

"She's beautiful, she's smart, she a good friend. Those are the obvious reasons that everyone says about her.

Everyone does say that.

"Then the things I hate about her, that make me want her more.

She is a goody-two-shoes.

She does not have a vivid sense of humor.

She yells too much, she criticizes my cooking skills.

She tries to kill me on a daily basis.

She dated my ex-best friend.

She is also tougher than iron.

Hides her feelings too much.

But I do that too. She had made as many mistakes as I did. She steals stuff. I ran away six times, lasting for months at a time. We are the same really. Branded.

He... loves her for her mistakes.

But is deeper, a lot deeper. It's in our past."

In the past...

"We both went to Wilderness School. But we thought it was Piper, I and our friend Jason. But we learned that it was really Piper and I at Wilderness, our memories had been modified. I probably should not of told you. that.

Why?

Then we came to camp. Piper took over the counselor spot for cabin by force, mine was given to me, given the duty to lead the building of one of the greatest feats in history. The Argo 2. There was a picture in that photo book.

He built that?

We were happy for a while. We finally had friends. But we learned what we had to do. We had to leave again, this time, for a more dangerous task. And the memories will haunt us for life, and things went downwards, even when we won."

Won? What does he mean?

"But Jason had no memory when we met him, but when he got it back, he learned he had a past to go back to. He left us. Scared of hurting his old friends more than us. Then Piper left, and I was alone. No one talked to me, and I felt the pain of losing her. She felt it too.

The place is not safe. I never wanted her to be there, she just got there, but I never felt this much loss as he was decribing.

"That's when I started to feel it. Stirrings. I had let her cry with me. I had fought against her, and with her. I had laughed with her, and we have faced many troubles together. I realized, she was the only person I had, and the only one I can trust. I have no family, and you are her only family, and you don't know the terrible truth.

Terrible truth?

I did love her. I just didn't know how long."

He does care about her. But how can a teenager feel that?

"I am not sure if she loves me back, but I think she has feelings for me too. But there is a lot more to our relationship. The secret. We have to keep the secret from the world, and keep the secret from affecting what happens on a day to day basis. Including you. It is the reason you can't remember the week of the solstice."

Didn't Mellie mention that before?

"It hurt you, and it drove you to near insanity. I was there. I was near tears, so I can see how hard it was for Piper, as your daughter. But I want to be with her, for the rest of my life. Big words for a crazy 16 year old teenager, but it is true. I bet you can relate to that, with Piper's mom."

Yes.

But I swear, I will keep her safe with all the power I got. Because she is the only one I have."

The voicemail ended right after that. Tristan wanted to forget that it ever happened. But he could not bring himself to delete it. It was too true. He just dropped the phone and left. But you can't just walk away from a problem like that.

Long chappie. Hopefully not too long. I hate long chapters. I get bored after a while, an I never finish the story and lose intrest. But please review. I would like 152 reviews please. And please tell evryone you meet Happy Feast of Fortuna, just to confuse them. Adios.
