Yay! Chapter 26!

Hazel's POV

Hazel needed to talk to Thalia about Bianca. She made up her mind, she need to know more about her sister, and not from Nico it kills him to just think about her, she can't bring up something like that, no. Thalia is the only one Hazel can talk too about Bianca. But how do she do that without telling Leo? Hazel didn't understand why but she felt that telling Leo that she wanted to know more about Bianca would hurt him, make him feel bad. No, he wasn't going to know.

After about an hour later after they we're l settled in Rachel stood up

"I'll be right back, I'm just going for a little walk. I want a better view of the stars." She calls over her shoulder. A few seconds later Octavian stood up to follow was silent for a moment before Thalia stood up as well.

"I don't know about you guys but I've had enough of this day and am going to eagerly wait for tomorrow." She states before heading for her tent. this was it. the moment Hazel was waiting for. she stood up to follow her. but before she could Leo grab her arm. Hazel glades down at him. HE grins up at her.

"Where are you going?" he asked light heartily. He pulled her back into his arms. Hazel giggled and looked up at him.

"I'm just going to go talk to Thalia for a pit." she told him hoping he wouldn't suspect a thing. but unfortunately Leo simply stiffened and look down at her

"Why?" he demanded not so nicely, but sternly and flatly. hazel was taken back by this.

"because I just want to ask her something. Why do you care?" hazel stammered nervously.

"I just want to know, why is it a big secret?" Leo retorted.

"It's not, I'm just asking her a question." hazel told him

" Well what's the question?" Leo asked to be more harshly hazel taken back by his time. she glared up at him.

" it's a personal question" she replied.

" a question so personal that you can't tell your boyfriend?" H e asked. hazel nodded

" yes it is" she told him

" okay then go ahead and tell a person you just met yesterday!" He snapped

" why do you care so much?" Hazel snapped back.

" because I am tired of all of these damn secrets!" He snarls

" and you don't think that I am NOT?" Hazel wished she could have screamed it at him but she was forced to reduce it to a whisper.

" you know what, I am starting do you think that you like all of the secrets." He tells her with a glare that could cut through her. she a bit past her tears and continued to glare up at him.

" what do you think I'm going to say to her? what secrets do you think I'm keeping?" Hazel asked him , completely outraged at him.

" obviously something you're not willing to tell me!" he glares at me.

" and what would that be Leo?" Hazel asked as Octavian entered the camp. Leo shakes his head.

" you know what, do whatever the hell you want to because I don't give a fuck." Leo snarled at her with hate in his voice. so much that's it brought tears to hazel eyes.

Octavian came and say down with them.

Octavian arched an eyebrow.

"What's doing on?" He asked.

"Nothing." Hazel snapped before storming off to the tent that Thalia went into. she draped open the curtain covering the doorway. she poke your head in unfound Thalia staring at her.

"Hey Hazel. Come in." she greeted. hazel slipped into the tent.

"hi Thalia. Um, could I talk to you?" hazel ask nervously. Thalia arched an eyebrow.

" sure what about?" Thalia asked. Hazel sat down in front of her. she wet her lips.

"I- I want tho know about Bianca." She muttered. Thalia looked a little taken aback butt nodded.

"okay, what about her?" Thalia asked. Hazel took a deep breathe.

"What was she like?" Hazel asked. Thalia thought for a moment before answering.

"she was very bold, very the way to her death." Thalia told her.

"how did she die?" Hazel than asked. Thalia tensed.

"She died paying for her mistake. She took something out of Hephaestus junk yard for Nico and a robot came after us,we were all on a quest, her, Percy, Grover, another hunter named Zeo and I." Hazels heart clenched. She new how it felt to lose everything because of your own mistakes, maybe her and her sister had more in common than just their father. Hazel bit her lip and nodded.

"How did you meet her?" Hazel asked. Thalia told her how she met Bianca and Nico with Percy and Annabeth trying to sneak them away to camp halfblood.

"How did she become a hunter?" Hazel asked. Thalia told her that Percy was the only one that really saw it happen, She just went into a tent a normal halfblood, came out a hunter. They talk some more about what happened and about bianca.

"So how did you get away without your boyfriend following you? Did you tell him why your here now?" Thalia asked causally crossing her arms and leaning back into her sleeping bag staring up at the lent roof. Hazel looks down at her crossed legs.

"No, He doesn't know why I'm here." She whispered. Thalia's head shot up.

"And how did he take that?" She asked with an arched eyebrow. Hazel pursed her lips.

"Not so good." she whispered. Thalia threw her head back and groaned.

"Gods Hazel! Why didn't you just tell him? He probably thinks your joining the hunt." Thalia told her tiredly.

"No he doesn't, I told him I wouldn't leaving him." Hazel defended even though she knew it was true. Thalia sighed.

"Look, I'm tired and we have a big day tomorrow so we should both get some sleep." Thalia told her. Hazel nodded and stood up. When she left the tent she looked around for Leo, He wasn't where they had left their stuff. Soon she spotted him one the other side of the fire. Hazel tried to hold back as sob when she saw that he had moved all of his stuff away from her.

Her heart bounded in her chest, she wanted to crumple and cry. She felt like Leo had just punched her in the heart, because within this small action, he had clarified that things between them where not okay.

Hazel glanced over and saw that Octavian was on watch.

Octavian, I can take the rest of the watch, I don't think I can sleep right now." Her voice quivers and shakes. Octavian stared up at her.

"Hazel, are you okay?" He asked. She nodded but after a moment she began to shake her head no and tears sprang from her eyes. Octavian stood up and opened his arms up to her. Hazel walked into him and he hugged her, rubbing her back as small tears wetted his shirt as she cried. "Its okay." he told her. But Hazel felt only worse that is wasn't Leo who was telling her this, that it wasn't Leo with his arms around her. No, he was asleep, not caring if she was well or not.

"Leo hates me." She cried.

"No he doesn't he loves you, he's just worried that you're going to leave him, he just needs to blow off some steam. Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I'm in shit with Rachel." He told her. Hazel looked up at him. Her problem with Leo fading away. What did that idiot say to her best friend

"What did you do?" She asks.

"I was kind of an ass tonight." Hazel pulls away.

"Really today of all days you deiced to be a bad boyfriend?" She asks. Boys are idiots. Octavian picks today of all days to be an ass to Rachel and Leo can't understand that Hazel isn't leaving him for the stupid hunt

"Shut up, if I can get into bed with my girlfriend without getting a black eye I'm calling it a successful night."He told her. Octavian made his way over to Rachel. Hazel sighed and sat down and watched the fire. Her gaze flicking to Leo. She could hear Octavian and Rachel muttering to one another quietly, unable to make out their words. But she didn't care much and ignored them. She watched the dying fie as she thought over her conversation with Thalia. She thought of Bianca wishing she could have met her. This and worried thoughts of Leo kept her mind occupied through out the night.

Sometime past midnight as Hazel continued to gaze into the dying flames endlessly, the fire suddenly flickered to life and she saw Leo stir from the corner of her eye. Hazel bit down on her lip.

"Leo?" She called quietly. She watched as his body stiffened but didn't respond. She called for him again but he still didn't respond. "Please Leo." She whispered. In response the fire suddenly blazed before dying flat. Hazel chocked at the sign that clearly read "Leave me alone."

She looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry." She whispered

The night went on quiet after that. around dawn Rachel and Octavian got up. Hazel was watching the fire with tried eyes.

"Hey Haze." Rachel yawned. Hazel looked up.

"Morning." she muttered.

"We have about an hour before breakfast, go ahead and take a cat nap." Rachel told her. Hazel nodded. She walked over to her sleeping bag and slipped in. It only took minutes for sleep to clutch her.

She was woken by Piper at breakfast.

"Morning!" She chirped. Hazel nodded groggily. She slugged out of her sleeping bag and rolling it up, putting her things away. Everyone else were just waking up. Suddenly, as she was just finishing her packing a strong hand gripped her elbow as she was leaning down and yanked her up. Hazel let out a yelp, she whipped around only to see Leo's stony gaze.

"We need to talk." He muttered. Hazel gulped and nodded. They walked away from the group. when they were far enough Leo looked at her.

"Are you willing to tell me why you wanted to talk to Thalia?" He asked in a monotone voice. Hazel had to hold back from glaring at him.

"I thought you didn't give a fuck." She replied sourly. Leo's eyes hardened.

"Really? you want to go there?"

"Its what you said Leo. And what you said made me feel like crap!" Hazel replied as she felt a familiar stinging in her throat.

"And how do you think I feel with you hiding secrets from me?" Leo retorts.

"Its nothing important!" Hazel lied.

"Than fucking tell me!" Leo demanded. Hazel shock her head.

"I can't, I don't want to, you'll hate me, I know you will." Hazel looked down. Leo stares down at me.

"Hazel," His voice was quivering with the rage he was holding back. "I don't fucking want a girlfriend that lies to me." He snarls with hated.

"You think I'm lying to you? Fine! you shouldn't ever have to put up with that, I'm so sorry." Hazel's voice drips with vemon even though she filled with pain in her heart. She turns away from him as tears run down her face.

"I'm sorry Leo, but I'm done." She whimpers and runs away.

Leo's POV.

I stand there, paralyzed in shock. His girlfriend just broke up with him. His Hazel broke up with him. He feels his heart splinter into pieces. tears flowed from his eyes and he hiccuped sons as he feel to his knees.

He hated himself. Why did he have to fuck up the one good thing in his life. I want my Hazel back. He begged silently.

But I couldn't have her. Because she broke his heart and he broke hers.
