Okay guys two things.

They will answer any and all questions you may have so go nuts. Ask away and enjoy this chapter!
In the morning I wake up to the sound of movement. My eyes take a second to open, and when they do I see Piper, walking around in a tank top and shorts.
"What are you doing up?" I ask tiredly.
She turns to me, smiling ever so slightly. She takes quick, light steps back to the bed. Leaning across the bed she plants a kiss on my forehead.
"Come back to bed." I chuckle.
"Sorry, dear, I have to go."
"Go?" I ask.
"Yeah. Hair appointment, makeup, dress fitting. All that gross stuff that I don't want to do."
"Then come snuggle." I tell her.
"I wish I could." She promises, leaning foreword to give me a proper kiss, "See you tonight, Jason." She promises as she walks out of the bedroom.
I groan as I lay back down. I don't want to do anything, but I know I'm gonna have to get up anyway.
Slowly I get out of bed and make myself get dressed, so I can go and eat breakfast.
The guys come by, and the five of us spend the morning and afternoon together, before getting ready for the premier.
The guys and I got stalked by the tabloids pretty badly. But as always, me managed to make light of it.
"So, dude." Percy speaks up as we all get ready in his room, "How was your night?" He winks.
"Yeah, buddy, was it as awesome as you'd dreamed?" Leo teases.
I laugh, "What kind of boyfriend would I be if I divulged that information?"
"Um, a good one. Dude. Fiancé trumps girlfriend." Percy points out.
I sigh, "True. Honestly? I was scared I was going to break her." They cat call, "Seriously." I chuckle.
"Your fault for doing a virgin that hard." Frank fold his arms.
"You're one to talk." I scoff.
"What do you mean?" He asks before immediately smacking a hand over his mouth.
"Frank... Did you do things to my sister?" Nico asks.
"Uh... I plead the fifth!" He proclaims.
"We're in Italy." Nico says.
"I still have my rights."
"No. You don't." Leo says, "You and I don't have American citizenship bro."
"Uh..."
"You can tell us." I say, "Sexual exploits are a bro thing."
"Yeah, what's said in this room, stays in this room." Leo promises.
"Fine... Maybe we did some sex stuff at prom." He says shyly.
"Whoa, man. Whoa." Percy says teasingly, "Slow down."
"Why?" He blushes embarrassedly.
"I'm kidding man. That's great." He says.
"Really?"
"Well, if you were ready for it, I don't see why not."
"Yeah, man we're sure not gonna judge you." Leo chuckles, "Hell, I'm not a virgin and I don't even have a girlfriend. You've already got me beat!"
"Thanks. But I'm still curious. How'd you almost break her?" Frank asks.
I chuckle nervously, "Let's just say, she was a virgin and I hadn't had sex in almost a year. In other words I was eager and she was fragile."
"Oh...Okay then." Nico chuckles, "Suits?"
"Yeah, let's put on suits." I nod.
"Why? Piper's gonna just rip it off of you anyway." Percy teases.
"And Annabeth's gonna do the same. But, I still like looking fine for my smoking hot girlfriend. You dig?"
"Well duh, I love it when you're looking fine." Percy clicks his tongue.
"Only a month until the big day boo." I remind him.
"I know, the stress is really starting to get to me! I mean, the caterer the other day!? Who gave him the right!?"
"Shh, baby you know we'll fix it." I take his hand.
He sighs, "What would I do without you?"
"Get a whole lot less action." I wink walking back to the closet where Nico tosses a tux at my face.
"Man whore." Nico rolls his eyes.
I give him an obnoxious wink, "Love it."
"Yuck." Nico says grabbing a tux of his own.
The five of us change in a haste, egger for the premier. The movie is a whole load of uncomfortable for me. I kind of sit there thinking, why does my voice sound like that? Does my voice really sound like that or is that the microphone's fault?
I'm excited for the fans to see the film. I'm excited for the interviews when I get to sound like an intelligent bastard and not an obnoxious one. I'm really looking forward to the tour, where I get to meet everyone. I mean, a bunch of people screaming about how they love your face and voice and whatever else. Some of them are creepy, duh, but most of them are rock stars. Plus they make the coolest shit! Like how are fangirls so crafty!?
Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Premier! Yay!
The cast all hops into the limo together. Which means everyone, minus Piper. I haven't seen her since this morning, but I can't tell you how excited I am to tell the world about us.
When we get out of the limo, screams engulf my surroundings. I may be deaf, and blind in a moment for adjustment, but I can feel the smile on my face.
I hear my name mixed with Reyna's. I walk out on my own, so each of us 'stars' can have our alone photo time.
I get called over by an interviewer.
"Jason." They smile, hugging me as if we know each other, "It's great to see you. You look amazing tonight."
Over the screams and camera flashes I say, "Thank you."
"So, tell us, are you excited for this premier?"
"Uh, well... Yes and no. It's kind of bittersweet, knowing this is the last opening, and all."
"Are you ready to watch yourself play Augustus one last time?"
"Oh never." The interviewer laughs, "It's weird watching myself. I kind of sit there like, 'is that really what I look and sound like?'"
"Well, good luck to you."
"Thank you."
I get pulled over again, asked similar questions, until this one pops in there, "Now, your father is not present."
"Correct." I nod.
"How does it feel being here alone?"
I say how I feel. Something I've never done before, "It feels good. I feel good about it."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Really." And I walk away. Sometimes it's best to leave people hanging. I hope you understand what I mean someday.
The gang and I are gathered for group pictures. People calling our attention for their chance to take a picture.
The group of us keep making jokes, so the smiles are genuine. So we don't get tired of the ridiculous smiling we'd otherwise have plastered onto our faces.
The guys and I take some photo's together. Ridiculous poses and whatnot.
Eventually Reyna and I come together for photo's. Being that we were romantic interests in the movie, the fangirls nearly die over the fact that I'm holding her waist. We see posters held up high with the names of our characters encircled by a heart. Signs that also read Jeyna is my OTP.
We walk over to an interview who's managed to flag us over. My arms have dropped from her waist to my sides.
"Hi you two!" The interviewer bubbles excitedly.
"Hi." Reyna smiles.
"You look beautiful tonight."
"Oh thank you." Reyna smiles, "You too."
"Who are you wearing?" She answers the name of some designer I've never heard of, "So, tonight's the big night, are you two excited?"
"Yeah." I nod.
"Extremely."
"We're in for a treat with you two. Your chemistry is just so spot."
"Thank you." Reyna laughs.
"Do you think the fans will be satisfied?"
I answer, "Definitely. We do it for them and they're really the only ones we care about."
"Thank you so much." The interviewer let's us get back to our photos. I slip my arm around Reyna's waist, smiling for the cameras as we head back to a standard position for photo taking.
"Jason! Reyna! How about a kiss!?"
Reyna smiles a little bit more as she answers, "I would, but I love his girlfriend too much."
Her answer sends the photographers into a tailspin. They demand to know who this girlfriend of mine is. I just keep smiling. I genuinely beam at each camera. Thinking about my Piper, how the world gets to know about us.
I see the author of Legionaries climb out of a limo. She gets a few minutes of her own photos before she, Reyna, and I take pictures. Then it's just her and I, before Piper shows up.
I'm taking another group shot when I see her climb out of the limo. She steals the very breath out of my chest.
She's wearing a nude gem coated dress. The crystallized top fits tightly, shoving it in your face how amazing her body is. The bottom flows out to kiss the ground she walks on. Her skin tone contrasts with it beautifully. The neckline plunges down, revealing quite a bit of cleavage, despite that it still has a strap, a think one in fact, I just know she had to fight to get one in all likelihood. I know, looking at her, she'd have never worn that damn thing on her own accord. She was either wrestled into it, or in her mind she laid a curse on everyone dressing her.
I don't care. She looks beautiful.
I leave in the middle of our photo session, as she poses with her father. I walk over and shake his hand.
"Good to see you." He smiles broadly before allowing me to see his daughter.
"Hey there." I greet nonchalantly.
"Hey stranger." She grins, quickly winking at the camera.
I lean down, not too far because her heels push her height up another six inches, to kiss her sweet, red lipstick covered lips. Her face cupped in my hands, she slowly lifts her own hand to my cheek. The world around me falls away into a silence I could get used to.
When we pull back she smirks, "I got myself a cutie."
I wrap her up in my arms for another silent kiss. And once we pull back from this one I look at the camera's.
"Everyone, my girlfriend. Later!" I take her hand and run with her behind me. We sprint into the theatre, not bothering to hear the response to our love.
Once inside the building we may or may not make out for the next ten minutes that we're supposed to be taking photos.
Percy runs into the theatre, before anyone else, catches us making out and simply says, "Guys... Can I join?"
We break apart breathless but smiling. I look at him, "Movie time?"
"You mean, more make out time? Yeah, her dad's coming in with us."
"Like he'd care." Piper scoffs.
"Darling, just... For the little ones."
"What, little ones?" She asks.
"He's referring to-"
"Hey guys." Hazel and Frank walk in and avert their gaze from us.
"Them." I chuckle.
"Oh." Piper laughs slightly.
"Come on hoe bags, let's watch this film!" Percy holds out his hand for me to take as the others.
"So, I have to share you?" Piper asks.
"Yes," Percy says, "But you can have him for like... Maybe three dances?"
"Oh wow, three whole dances." Piper rolls her eyes.
"Use them wisely." Annabeth runs up behind Piper.
"It's okay, I'll just make out with your hot girlfriend in the meantime." Piper promises him.
"You do that." Percy says, "Girls."
"I. Know." I joke as Piper smacks my chest.
"Hey!" I laugh.
"You have lipstick on your teeth." Piper says.
"My, teeth?"
"Well, your whole face." Annabeth chuckles.
"Why didn't you say anything!?" I star frantically wiping my mouth.
"Because... Why would we?" Percy asks.
"You suck."
"Only you." He promises as we take our seats.
You don't really care about the movie. You don't. So let's skip to the after party!
When we get to the party, taking place in a historic theatre in Rome, all of us are quickly ushered to our table.
The whole cast and special guests are seated at the large tables, waiting for the director to give a speech. Lupa told both Reyna and I to expect giving a speech as well. I find that unlikely, but whatever.
I'm proven wrong. Not only does the director speak, but the author does too. She then presents Reyna, who presents me. Crap.
I walk up to the microphone, applauds comes from the crowd as cameras flash noisily.
What to say? What to say, "Hi everyone." Smooth moves brought to you by me, "Here we are. The end of a road. But Reyna already talked about that. How we're going to miss everyone and that's so true.
"But what I want to say, is that I'm so proud of everyone here. Not only as the distinguished producers, directors, actors, and actresses you are. As people as well. You all are some of the greatest friends I have ever and will ever make. I've learned so much from each of you. I've grown with you, and while today is sad. I mean, I've already seen like twelve of you in tears... Not including me because I totally didn't cry durring that death scene." The crowd laughs at my joke.
"I'm excited to see all the places you'll go. Good luck, god bless, let's eat." As everyone applauds The director quickly mutters something to me, "Oh, apparently we don't get a sit down meal." I give him a look that causes a rumble of laughter, "Okay, then enjoy then let's party. Is that what we do here?" I ask him. He simply laughs as we all get our butts off the stage.
The party begins, and it actually goes very much like Prom. Piper and I dance as everyone else does until we get sick of it and run away. Where to you ask? Well, stupidly, to the top.
Have you ever seen those Roman Theatres? If not look it up. Now, you see that roof? Yeah that's where we, illegally mind you, run off to.
Once we're there, high above the rest of the world it seems, we laugh. Together, without cause, completely in sync, we just laugh.
Piper throws her arms out and twirls all around. I grab her waist, spinning her into me.
"I love you." I kiss her smiling against her lips.
"Hey, Jason." She smiles up at me.
"Hmm?" The wind picks up as she smiles even wider.
"Fly with me?" She asks.
"Certainly, my dear." We begin to waltz, the awkward waltz we learned for the music video. We dance in most incorrect way ever. If any dance teacher saw us, they'd probably die right where they stood. But it's the best dance of my life.
We sing together. We sing about the moon being our spot light, as we dance with the stars.
When we've finished singing, we meander to the edge of the roof. We watch the crowd below, so small in comparison to us, dancing to not so distant music, oblivious to our omnipresence.
"I think I took more than my fair share of your dances, Jason." She teases.
"Yeah, little rebel you are." She turns around and kisses me slowly, when she chuckles I can't help but ask, "What is it?"
"It's just... I will never get tired of kissing you." So I kiss her over and over again, "Still not tired of it." She laughs.
"Me neither." I agree. We turn our heads to the sky. To me the reason is unknown, but it gives me the opportunity to rest my head on hers.
"Look." She whispers in awe as shooting star flies above us.
"I see." I smile.
"Make a wish." She says.
"Why?" I ask, "The only wishing star I'll ever need is right here." She looks up at me, "In my arms, right now. With that cute look of confusion. My wishing star fell to earth and into my life."
Piper looks up and kisses me, so earnestly, so sincerely. I can't help but return each and every bit of her emotion. How on Earth did she ever become mine?
"Do you want to know my wish?" She asks.
"But, won't it not come true?"
"It has to do with you."
"What is it?" I ask softly, kissing her neck as gently as possible.
"I wished that we'd really mean it."
"Mean what?"
"That we'll be together forever." She answers honestly.
"I can help with that."
"I know you can." She smiles kissing me again.
We don't get in trouble for our running away, mostly because we return to the party shortly after that. No one even knew we were gone... Yeah, right. But they don't ask.
Maybe it's because they know. They know we've just shared a moment that will impact us for the rest of our lives. Maybe they know that we've promised each other forever.
Remember to leave your questions for me and or the characters for the true final chapter! And I have a question for you.
... Y'all ready for Percy and Jason's wedding?
