Jason

A FUNNY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE.

Hours turned into days, minutes into hours and seconds into minutes, we were a day's travel from Rome and tensions on the Argo II had reached a new high.

I'd just woken up, everyone else was asleep. Leo sat half asleep in front of the wheel, Percy was curled up on the sofa. I sighed this was the second time I've found them here asleep.

I sat down on the sofa seat, it was actually really comfy. My head ached for thinking, me and Annabeth had been examining a map of Rome again, debating battle plans and strategies. But it was still a mystery what lied in Rome.

I almost jumped out of my skin when Percy spoke "What are you doing up this early?"

"Don't do that!" I laughed.

He chuckled at my face.

"Couldn't sleep. You?"

He shrugged "Light sleeper."

Saying this was awkward would of been an understatement.

We sat in silence, it was easier. This way I couldn't say anything to upset or make him made, and vise-versa.

My eyes caught sight of Piper's bracelet on the floor, I bent down and picked it up studying it.

It was a small silver chain, Leo had made it for her for her birthday.

"Ain't that the bracelet she's been looking for?" asked Percy, I don't think he was that interested but it was the polite thing to ask.

"Yep" I sat quietly. "Can I ask you something?"

He sat up and stretched intrigued, "go on..." he said.

"I heard before you and Annabeth were together, there was some, complications?"

He grinned, "Yeah a certain red-head."

"Rachel? The green smoke out of the mouth Rachel?"

"Before she was the Oracle she was my friend."

"And Annabeth was jealous?"

He nodded. "She'd never admit it, but she was."

"I'll tell her you said that." I joked.

"She'd murder me." he grinned goofy. "It was complicated, I liked Rachel and I like Annabeth." He paused. "Rachel was there for me when I needed time to breath, she lifted the wait off my shoulders."

"How did you know who to choose?"

Percy eyebrows scrunched together, "What do you mean?"

"You liked two girls, they both liked you, why Annabeth?"

Percy grinned to himself, "Well at first I had no idea either of them liked me, but when I did, I didn't choose. I liked Rachel, but I loved Annabeth. I'd always loved her, there wasn't really any choice to make."

I nodded, "I don't know who to choose..."

"Can I tell you what I think?" I looked up at him, his green eyes were s intense, it made me uncomfortable. "There isn't a choice to be made, you know who you love...you're just afraid to say, afraid you're gonna lose the other one."

"You really are smarter than you look." I laughed.

"I'll take that as a compliment." He smiled, "I'm gonna go check on my girlfriend, see you later?"

I passed Piper's bracelet between my fingers "Sure."

I knew who I loved and who I liked, the hard part now was saying it.

(~LINE BREAK~)

I stood at the bow of the ship, I'd never really been a fan of the sea, being Jupiter's son it didn't really appeal to me. But today with the sun high, the clouds fluffy it was calm, peaceful.

"Morning Sparky" before I even turned around I knew it was Piper. She gave me a timid smile, fiddling with a strand of her hair.

"Not long now..." I said, it could of meant anything, not long till breakfast, till the others woke up, but she knew what I was talking about.

"We're ready, we're gonna shut the Doors and save Nico" she paused thinking, "and you and Percy are gonna lead us."

I smiled, she always knew the right thing to say. "What are you smiling at?" she asked nudging me with her elbow.

"It's not important." I nudged her playfully.

She wasn't happy with my answer but she didn't ask again.

"What are you doing up this early?" I asked trying to change the conversation.

She leaned on the railing "Oh, I heard footsteps thought I'd come out and investigate."

I pulled her bracelet I found this morning out my pocket and showed it to her "Look what I found?"

"Oh my gods Jason, thank you!" she crushed herself to me, in a small hug. "Can you put it on me?" she asked pulling away with rosy cheeks. I fiddled with the clasp and clicked it onto the third loop. "Where did you find it?"

"Control room..."

"Thanks, I was so scared I lost it."

Before I could even stop myself, the words reached my lips "I'm sorry Piper."

i wonder what jase is gonna say...hmm. sorry it's not that long ugh.

im writing the next chapter now, could be up today who knows?

thank you guys, seriously
