Advice

Jason

I got the limo to drop me off at the intersection 5th and 42nd so that I could pick up my baby.

"I expect you to take care of her this time."

"Yes sir," I saluted him then stuck my hand out. He grumbled a bit before handing her over.

"Jason, I mean it, take care of her."

"I know, I know," this time I bolted. "I've missed you," I tackled her into a hug.

I opened the door to the driver's seat and turned the car into ignition. The sound of the engine starting just made me more excited. I might have damaged my car a while ago and when I bought it to Hephaestus' he wasn't exactly happy with the condition. In my defense the paparazzi were way too persistent. The very first thing I did with my paycheck from my very first album was to buy this car. My supernova silver McLaren MP4-12C Spider is the best thing I've ever spend a paycheck on.

I kept driving until I noticed a familiar SSC Ultimate Aero XT parked outside of a tiny café. I hoped that they wouldn't mind me interrupting them but right now I really needed some advice and for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to talk to BeautyQueen10.

"Hello welcome to Riptide, how many?" the worker asked me.

"Oh, no I'm here with somebody and there she is," I found who I was looking for and headed that way. "Hey is this seat free?"

"Oh hey Jason, yeah it is," she sat her cup down and gave me a hug.

"So where is he?" I asked.

"Working, last minute change to the schedule. So what can I do for you?"

"I need advice and well I saw the car parked and I yeah," I trailed off.

"Does this have anything to do with you confessing your love to Piper on your new album?"

"H-how did you know?" I asked.

"It wasn't that hard I mean if you're just going to spell it out on national television someone other than the girl that you're trying to get the message too will notice."

"Fine, what should I do? I do like her but I can't since she's 'going out' with Leo now."

"Here's an idea," she said cheerfully before she deadpanned the next bit. "Just tell her."

"It's not easy," I tried to reason with her.

"Yes it is, just go I Jason Grace really like you." At the mention of my name people started to look around and I ducked my face down.

"Is it clear yet?" I asked.

"Yup," she smirked at my discomfort.

"Whatever thanks anyways," we bid our goodbyes and I headed to my car.

"Oof," I made a weird as I bumped into someone.

"Jason?"

"Hey Perce, Annabeth is waiting for you, you know," I told him and before I could say anything else he ran off shouting a 'thanks'.

Once I reached my car, I just sat there for a bit. I didn't really do much I just thought. Was it true of what Annabeth said? Was it that obvious? I mean she did find out. What about Piper? What if she notices? What if she doesn't accept my feelings? What if this breaks up our friendship? Maybe I should talk to her, it has been two weeks.

"Speak of the devil," I muttered as my phone rang. "Hey."

"Hey Jason," her voice was cheery, more than usual with a hint of surprise, as if she was expecting me to ignore her call.

"What's up?"

"Oh nothing, you haven't talked to me in two weeks, are you mad at me?"

"What? No I'm not," I was mad at myself. "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Well," I could pretty much see her twirling a strand of her hair. "It's just that since I agreed with Chiron's deal you seemed different. Then all of a sudden the next day no one had seen you let alone somehow contact you. I came to your house a few times but there was no answer."

Oh, oops. "Haha, sorry about that Pipes, it's just that I locked myself in my studio writing the songs for my album. Today was my first day outside and that was only because Lupa dragged me out of the studio for an interview with Calypso."

"Oh I saw that, I really liked the new song that you performed. You changed," her voice was a bit softer.

"Thanks and how so?"

"You went back to being the Jason I first met. You know the flirt," okay having human interaction must really be getting to me because she sounded jealous, I decided to tease her a bit.

"Piper McLean, if you were jealous you could of just told me so. Now, now you better not let Leo know. Fake boyfriend or not, he will get overprotective," I winked until I realized that she couldn't see me.

"Very funny, very funny. So who's the girl?"

"What?" I was taken back from her comment.

"The song that you performed on Calypso, who's it about?" 'You,' I thought.

"It's for nobody, so from what I hear somebody has a new sound coming out," I easily changed the subject.

"Shush, it was going to be a surprise. I was going to perform it during my interview tomorrow on Calypso, you're going to watch it right?" it seemed to be more of a demand.

"Of course."

"Can you believe that the Grammys is only in a month? And from what I've heard a certain blonde is a shoo in."

"And I heard that someone is performing, look Pipes I got another call and it's from Lupa so as much as I love talking to you I love having my head attached to my neck so I'll talk to you later."

"Sure as long as it's before two weeks."

"Bye," I hung up and talked to Lupa.

"You are in so much trouble Grace."

[A/N] To guest, you were soooooooooo close, but you're missing part of it.

So the reason why I want to use the Camp Rock scene is because it's the easiest. I can't think of a valid reason for the two to video chat. I like the idea of them meeting for coffee but if you think about it, would you really give out information to a person you've never meet even if they are your best friend? The skype idea is okay but not my favourite. Finally with the whole them seeing the account name is possible but with the whole press jumping to conclusion and Jason is quite careful with this stuff.
