Third Person POV

Tonight was the night. Jason was finally going to pop the question to his girlfriend, Piper, on the pristine beaches of California. After convincing Piper to take a midnight walk with him, butterflies flew around his stomach as they walked side by side, hand in hand.

"Hey, so, how far are we going?" Piper asked. After receiving no reply, she said, "Hello? Earth to Jason?"

"Hmm? Oh, sorry." Jason internally slapped himself. As they walked forward again, Jason could not wait any longer. "Actually…" He took a deep breath and got on one knee.

"What are you… Oh my gods!" Piper's eyes brimmed with tears and she covered her mouth.

"Piper? Will you-" His blue eyes went wide as he saw a massive wall of water coming towards them.

"Jason? What's wrong?" Piper said, her voice still shaky. When she turned around, she gasped, both at the tsunami and at Jason, who had put her in a protective embrace.

"Piper, It'll be fine," He said although he knew this was not true. Piper knew this, too. With her chin resting perfectly on the nook between the love of her life's neck and shoulder, she whispered, "Jase, I love you." Jason smiled and said, "Me too," as the water came crashing down on them.

The whole world went black and Jason slipped into unconsciousness, not sure if Piper was still in his arms or not.

The next morning, the only clue lifeguards could find about the missing couple was a black cell phone left on the sand. Its last notification read: TSUNAMI WARNING! PLEASE SEEK SHELTER. It arrived 12 hours ago.

~Piper's POV~

It was a warm night, and I was walking along the shoreline with my boyfriend, Jason. The blue waves were glittering in the moonlight. I heard him speak and turned to face him.

He was on one knee, ice-blue eyes hopeful and smiling as he looked up at me. "What are you...Oh my gods!" I whisper-screamed. He was holding the most beautiful ring I had ever seen, cushioned by black velvet in a small box.

"Piper, will you-". He was cut off. Jason's eyes went wide as he grabbed me in a tight embrace and pulled me close. I turned around to see what he was looking at. A massive, foaming wall of water was about to crash on us. We wouldn't make it. We were too close.

"Piper, it'll be fine," Jason told me, voice shaking and lips trembling. No, it wouldn't. I was going to die. He was going to die. We were going to get married. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to spend my final moments in his arms, happy.

"Jase, I love you." I tried to smile as the tsunami neared us in the corner of my eye.

"Me too." He smiled sadly back and squeezed my hand. The memories of us flashed by in my head. The day we met, on the back of the school bus, that night on the roof of Zeus' cabin-everything. I loved him so much. I couldn't live without him.

The tears pooled in my eyes as the cold, icy water crashed over us, engulfing our bodies and pulling us inwards. I was screaming; struggling to breathe. I saw Jason next to me, his eyes peacefully closed. Then, total darkness.
