A\N: Here's the new chapter. I just want to answer a review from a guest:

I don't know why this story sounds familiar to you. Maybe it reminds you of some other story. I easily get inspired by other stories and writers so maybe there are some moments that are the same. For example, the beginning of my story is inspired by maya356556's story 'I Love How Much You Hate Me'. But I swear, this story is mine and I haven't stolen it from anyone.

Anyway, on with the chapter.

Chapter 4: Movie night

''Where are the popcorn?'' Nico asked, plopping on the enormous couch in front of the flat screen.

''Annabeth and Percy are making them.'' Leo replied while playing rock-paper-scissors with Jason and Piper to kill time.

''I think I should go check on them because if we leave those two alone for too long, we're never going to watch that movie.'' Thalia said and went towards the kitchen.

''Beauty queen, you cheat!'' Leo whined when Piper cut his paper for probably the millionth time.

''And how exactly can you cheat on rock-paper-scissors? I can't just tell you what to pick. And last time I checked, I wasn't a mind-reader either.'' She smirked at him and raised her fist, inviting him and Jason to another round.

''Maybe you should get checked again.'' The Latino boy suggested lightly while Jason's rock beat their scissors.

''Are you suggesting something Repair boy?'' the Cherokee girl said with an accusing tone that dared them to say otherwise.

Leo just shrugged innocently. Piper sent him a dirty look which he pretended not to notice. Beside them Jason was trying hard to suppress his laughter. A snort escaped his mouth and he unsuccessfully tried to cover it as a cough.

''Don't even dare laughing Sparky.'' She turned to him with a pointed finger and he raised his hands up in surrender.

''Haven't even thought of it Pipes.''

His smirk showed otherwise. She narrowed her eyes at him and he glanced at Leo. Bad move. As soon as the boys' eyes met they both burst out laughing.

''Jerks.'' Piper simply concluded and stood up from the floor where they were playing and went to sit on the empty end of the couch with her head leaning on the armrest. ''What are we going to watch again?''

''Transformers.'' Percy announced while entering the living room along with Annabeth. Thalia was trailing a few feet behind looking at both of them disapprovingly while they just smiled mischievously. They were each carrying a very big bowl of popcorn.

''Whoever eats its popcorn is going to make new.'' Annabeth instructed while passing her bowl to Piper. She was going to share with Jason and Leo who were on the floor in front of the couch. Thalia sat next to Nico while Percy and Annabeth snuggled in a loveseat. Jason went to shut of the lights and then sat next to Piper on the only left seat on the couch while the movie started.

Piper actually liked the movie. It was one of her favorites (and it was not because of Megan Fox) but after about half an hour she felt a little sleepy. She shuffled in her spot, trying to sit straighter in order to not fall asleep on the couch. She ended up leaning back with her feet on the couch cushion beneath her, her knees bent in front of her.

''Someone's restless, eh?'' Jason's breath tickled her neck when he whispered in her ear. Her face turned deep red and she tried to suppress the memories of last night that invaded her mind.

''I didn't get much sleep last night.'' She mumbled, not looking at him. Not a full lie, just not the whole truth.

''Is that so? And pray tell, what were you doing last night that kept you from sleeping and got you so tired?'' he asked teasingly, nudging slightly her ribs.

''Nothing, I just couldn't sleep okay?'' she hissed at him, catching him off guard.

Jason kept quiet for a while and she immediately regretted being so harsh towards him but she couldn't help it. The memories from last night just didn't want to get away and left her frustrated and annoyingly turned on.

Piper tensed when she felt his hand on her shoulder, reminding her of his hands stroking her skin last night. She wanted to scream.

''You know you can't be mad at me forever. I was just trying to be a nice best friend today. This Will guy raised my suspicions and I can't help it if I act a little protective of you sometimes.'' He whispered slightly to her and she recalled his strange behavior earlier today at the beach.

''You didn't even talk to him and just went with the intimidating glares and cocky behavior. You're not my dad Jason and I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself.'' She retorted to him, trying to suppress her annoyance.

''I know that Pipes.'' He said gently to her and her defenses melted at the regret in his soft voice. ''And I didn't want to anger you. I was just watching out for you.''

She didn't respond to the last one, pretending to be concentrated on the movie instead. She felt Jason sigh softly, the air brushing her neck again and sending a strange chill down her spine.

''I didn't get much sleep either. You can use me as a pillow though. I don't mind.'' He offered to her and opened his arms invitingly towards her.

''I'm good, thanks.'' She replied smiling at him slightly before turning to the screen again.

''Come on, we both know you're gonna drop in less than five minutes.''

''I said I'm fine.'' She said stubbornly and ignored him.

Truth been told, Piper was starting to get really irritated with herself and him. Well, mostly with herself but that didn't help a lot. She was tired of feeling embarrassed and nervous every time he was close. Why was she reacting towards him like that now, after all this time? The answer was obvious but she refused to believe that one night can change her so much. He was still her best friend.

Her thoughts made her head even heavier than before and she yawned. She tried to readjust herself again but then Jason groaned and pulled her so that she was lying against him, her head on his shoulder.

''You're so stubborn sometimes.'' He remarked amusedly and she huffed.

''Shut up.'' She mumbled but didn't fight him.

Stupid Jason with his stupid warmness, stupid sexy body and stupid ways of getting under her skin.

Jason looked down at Piper only to notice that she was already asleep, just as he thought. She had a funny way to sleep: she breathed in through her nose and then breathed out through her mouth in a little puff. It was cute actually; she looked like a child that way, innocent and calm. Muffled words escaped her lips, her brows scrunched a little and she snuggled closer to him, fisting his shirt slightly. His muscles tensed like on instinct and he frowned while looking at her sleeping form.

It wasn't the first time Piper was using him as a pillow but this time it felt odd. A memory of the unknown girl invaded his mind again and he closed his eyes, trying to block it. It was getting quite annoying to have some random memories from the fierce night before interrupting his train of thoughts suddenly, making him aroused and leaving him desperately wanting to know who she was…and more.

As on queue Reyna's face popped in his mind, followed by the guilt and he had to stop himself from groaning. Sure, they had broken up but his feelings towards her hadn't changed. They couldn't have changed for one night. He still loved her. But then why did he slept with that other girl, just to loosen up? He wasn't like that. He didn't like playing with girls like that, he wasn't like one of the jocks, sleeping with random girls just because he could. Then what happened last night? Because it definitely was something big and he didn't plan on letting the matter slide.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to return back to reality. It wasn't the place or the time for figuring this out. Beside him, Piper grumbled and lifted herself off of him, leaving the spot where she was lying surprisingly cold.

''Sorry, I really fell asleep, didn't I.'' she mumbled to him, trying to rub the sleep off of her eyes.

''Nah, it was nothing. Sorry for waking you up.'' He smiled at her and again noticed the blush on her cheeks when she beamed back at him.

''I think I should go to my own bed now.'' She announced to everyone and stood up, heading to her room.

Jason stretched, trying to wake up his muscles. He was determined to stay until the end of the movie; the best part hadn't started yet. He looked around to notice that Leo had already passed out, leaning his head on the coffee table on his hands.

Percy was whispering something to Annabeth while lazily kissing her neck while she tried to not look affected by his touch. Jason chuckled quietly. He had a feeling that this was soon going to end in the bedroom.

He also noticed Thalia and Nico sitting close to each other, definitely closer than before. He narrowed his eyes at them but decided to not start this now. But the dark-haired boy wasn't off the hook. Bigger or not, Thalia was still Jason's sister and he had duties as her brother.

Leo woke up at the Linkin park song that was playing in the end of the movie. He waved a hand for goodbye to everyone and climbed the stairs to his room without saying anything.

''These two sure are tired.'' Nico remarked after the Latino boy had disappeared.

''Well, I don't know for Piper but from what I remember Leo drank a lot last night. I'm surprised he managed this long actually.'' Jason snickered not wanting to get up just yet.

''Piper wasn't in her room when I checked last night.'' Thalia suddenly said like she had just remembered, making everyone, even Percy and Annabeth, look at her surprised. Well, Annabeth was more nervous than surprised but Jason didn't give it much thought.

''What?'' Percy asked which made the girls roll their eyes.

''That means her room was empty Kelp head.'' Thalia said like she was talking to a five-year-old child.

''I know that. I meant how could she be not in her room? Then where was she?'' he asked, glaring at Thalia.

''Well, while I was walking to my room I thought that I heard a crash from her room so I knocked and when no one answered I decided to peek in. Her bed was empty, like she never slept there.''

''Maybe she just found herself a new bed.'' Nico shrugged while standing up. ''What?''

He had noticed how all of them were looking at him with big eyes. For some reason Jason felt anger bubbling in him while Annabeth fiddled nervously with her fingers and the silver ring Percy had given to her yesterday.

''Piper? Yeah, right!'' Percy laughed but was the only one.

Nico realized what was happening with a little delay.

''Oh god, no! I meant that she could have simply fallen asleep in the wrong room or something. Man, you've become even more perverted than me and Leo and that is scary.'' He pointed out before going to sleep, shaking his head disapprovingly.

''O-okay…I suggest we all go to sleep. It was a long day and we need a rest.'' Thalia broke the awkward silence first and Percy didn't hesitate to pull his girlfriend after him towards the upper floor. Guess their night wasn't going to end just yet.

Thalia and Jason climbed the steps together in silence.

''Good night baby bro.'' she mumbled to him while yawning and he waved distractedly at her before they both entered their separate rooms.

Jason was deep in thought while he was preparing himself for bed. Why did it matter if Piper had been in someone else's bed? Was it normal to be so…jealous? Maybe he really was, just as Thalia said but still. Why?

'Because she's your best friend. You're just concerned about her.' the rational part of his brain answered while he plopped on his bed face first against the pillow, suddenly feeling very tired.

'Keep telling yourself that man and maybe you will believe it.' Another voice snickered in his head and he furrowed his eyebrows. What was that supposed to mean?

He sighed, deciding to leave the thinking for the morning. He tried to cover himself with the thin quilt instead without actually changing his position much which happened after around five minutes.

'Could have been easier and quicker if I had stood up.' he thought but soon shrugged it away, feeling his eyelids close. 'Eh, whatever, I'm already done with it.'

With that he fell into a deep but uneasy slumber. He tossed and turned more than usual that night only to wake up with a start in the morning, startled by his dream. His mind soon caught up with his body and he realized that the dream was actually a memory. Memory of last night, vivid and real like he was there again.

He scurried out of his bed quickly, not bothering to change before he flew out of the room.

He had to talk to her now. Because he remembered. He remembered everything that had happened the night before.

A\N: So…Jason remembers now. And things become complicated. Stay tuned for the next chapter! And thank you for the reviews, they motivate me to write and make my day every single time. Please continue!
