Chapter 2
She sighed… Nick, the gorgeous son of Jupiter she used to love, the one who broke her heart. Leah hadn't seen him for two years since he left Camp Half Blood to return to his home Camp Jupiter after the defeat of the giants. The romans had come to the Greek camp to aid them with the battle against the giants. Leah remembered everything, the day she met him, his laugh, the way his hair was after a battle …all messed up, his soft brown eyes, the time when he saved her life, when he asked her out, their first kiss, when he broke her heart and the day he left on the Romans huge carriage pulled by the most magnificent Pegasus, his expression when he left, his small smile as he held hands with the girl he now loved.
Leah sighed she couldn't get over him no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't. The only bright side is that Piper who had experience a similar heartbreak thing with Nick's half-brother Jason Grace had spent more time with her, they 'tried' to get over the two sons of Jupiter together and told each other that no matter what they would always be there for each other. It was a weird friendship bond a daughter of Aphrodite and a daughter of Apollo but still Piper was her bestie no matter what. A tear fell down her cheek as she thought about Nick and all of a sudden she got lost in her heart breaking memory.
Flashback
Leah walked towards the tallest tree that grew in the forest. She smiled as the clearing came into view, the great oak tree that was perfect for climbing, sitting and swinging placed in the middle .The grass around it was beautiful during springtime a clear shade of green, gorgeous sweet smelling and colourful flowers grew everywhere. On the other side of the clearing was a small stream, the water was a dazzling blue and clear as a crystal. At the far end were blackberry bushes the berries were a deep shade of purple, in a couple of weeks they would be ripe and ready to pick. Leah smiled and twirled happily, she scooped up some flowers and made her way towards the oak tree. This was her special place no one knew about this lovely place tucked away deep in the woods except for Piper, Annabeth, Hazel and Nick. This place was magical and being a descendant of Hecate the goddess of magic Leah knew that it was true. The daughter of Apollo lay down on the soft green grass and gazed up at the clouds that swarmed the azure sky. She lay there for a couple of minutes, looking up at the sky and trying to decide what shape the clouds were , a giant tea cup or a pumpkin? She had no idea. Leah got bored quickly so she decided to climb the oak tree. She wasn't actually going to climb it, no way she was in her favourite jeans (A/N: Leah is a fashionista, more details in the third chapter), besides there was a much easier way to get to the top. Leah placed her hand on the flower shaped mark on the trunk of the tree, the flower glowed purple and a door camouflaged to look like the trunk opened with a loud 'click'! Leah grinned and stepped inside, there wasn't much inside just a circular room with stairs leading to the tree house concealed by thick branches. Leah started to climb until she got to the top. The tree house was very simple with loads of pretty flowers painted on the walls and even more beautiful flowers in pots on the window sill. On the outside, the tree house was hidden by thick branches so it looked like it was part of the tree. This was similar to Bunker 9, but this used to be a lookout tower for the Demeter kids, none of them remembered it, well some of them do but they don't know where it is , the tree house was lost and forgotten now. Leah looked out of the window when something caught her eye. On the far end of the clearing behind the bushes, she could see to figures pressed against each other kissing passionately. Leah would have just rolled her eyes and pretended to be sick but she stood there, her mouth open in shock a mixture of emotions swirling inside her. She recognised both figures, one was her enemy from the roman camp Stefanie and the boy was none other than Leah's boyfriend Nick. Well ex-boyfriend. Leah didn't know what to do, why would he do this to her? Leah didn't know, but she did know that she couldn't stay here and watch them. No, she needed to get back. Tears started to pour from her eyes as she ran down the stairs and slammed the bark door. Leah ran through the woods whipping her tears away but more kept coming, falling down her face like a river. Leah ran down the hill and through the camp. People stared at her as she ran towards the office blocks. She ran past her office and went straight to Pipers office. She burst in and stared at Annabeth and Piper with tear filled eyes. The two demigods stared at her in shock as she sat on the floor crying her eyes out. Annabeth and Piper were immediately at her side, pulling her up and making her sit on the couch. While Annabeth went to the small kitchen to make a cup of hot chocolate, Leah told Piper everything she saw while Piper stroked her hair gently. After she had finished Annabeth hugged her and said ''Leah I'm so sorry.'' ''THAT JERK',' screamed Piper Leah smiled slowly and said, ''Thanks guys for everything, I just can't believe I actually liked him.''
Just then , the door opened and a very cute son of Jupiter walked in. ''Hey Piper ,have u seen Leah I…..'', his voice trailed off as he saw Leah crying on the couch. '' Leah, are u ok?''He said rushing up to her. Nick put his arm around her but she pushed him away. ''Stay away from me!'' He backed away slowly ''Leah what's wrong?'' ''YOU JERK! I CANT BELIEVE I.. I .. ACTUALLY DATED YOU!'' Nick stood up and tried to grab Leah's hand. ''Leah what are you talking about?'' I SAW YOU I SAW YOU KISS STEFANIE YOU LIKE HER AND YOU CHEATED ON ME! 'Leah screamed. Nick's eyes grew wide ''You saw that? Leah I was just…'' '' SAVE IT NICK! WE ARE SO OVER! 'Yelled Leah. Tears were pouring down her cheeks as she stared into Nick's face his eyes showed nothing but pain. Leah spun around and ran out of the office with Piper running after her.
