"Leo, it's been a week, what's wrong?" Piper asked outside Leo's door.
The group was staying with Percy for the few weeks they would be up, this normally would have been a joyful occasion 'if Leo hadn't started to get moody' so to say. He started getting a short fuse with everyone, then after a while he stopped coming outside to be with everyone. 'What did Nico and Leo talk about?' Piper wondered. 'That conversation was the last one Leo had before he started to have these little eruptions.'
"Piper, lets just leave him alone, it's for the best..." Jason said, coming up from behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"But, Jason, what if..." Piper bit her lip then continued in a whisper, "what if he leaves again?"
Jason's face turned into a frown, "don't say that Pipes... he won't do that to us again..."
"how do you know Jason? I'm sure we wouldn't have thought that before when he did it the first time! He just up and left us for a crush only to have her dump him for some stupid-"
Leo took that moment to pop out of the room, "If you two wouldn't mind, can you discuss my mistakes somewhere else, I don't feel like meeting the ghosts of Christmas Past right now!" and with that, Leo slammed the door.
Jason and Piper met up with the others, besides Nico, in the park. When they arrived, they were greeted by Percy running up and bro-whatevertheheckit'scalled, with Jason, resulting in them both crashing to the ground.
"Really Seaweed brain?" Annabeth rolled her eyes at the two jumbled up demigods on the ground in front of her.
Hazel and Frank came out from behind them, hand in hand, 'man, they are really cute together' Piper thoght as she approached them.
"Leo's still not with you?" Hazel asked cautiously.
"No, he's really worrying me." Piper sighed.
"Is there anything we can do to cheer him up? Like a new wrench or something?" Annabeth inquired.
"I've never seen him like this. He's always smiles, always laughs, always bad jokes, but I expect that from him, that's how he deals with problems, he makes them into jokes." Piper said silently, almost like a whisper, "he must have found a problem he can't laugh at."
