Reasons Why

Disclaimer- The Fates have it so that I don't own PJO or HOO. It belongs to a man named Rick Riordan. Last I checked, I'm teenaged and not a man.


Dear Jason Grace, son of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, fellow legionnaire, ex-praetor,

I know I'll never be able to tell you this face to face. Telling you on a piece of paper sounded like the better idea.

You would never let me finish if I just told you. You would have me running away when I feel the first hint of tears.

So, here are reasons why I think you left.

If you're brave enough to do it... Circle the ones that you think might be true. Send them back to me.

Are you choosing her (the following are things I'll never be able to tell you) -

"Because I'm too broken?

"Because I went through more?

"Because everything we ever had held more meaning?

"Because everything about her is lighter?

"Because I'm Roman?

"Because I'm a fighter?

"Because she's pure and always smiling?

"Because it's only you makes me smile most of time?

"Because it's you that I break down for?

"Because of those many promises that we made?

"Because I've learned to hide my mistakes, fears, and feelings?

"Because I don't want to be hurt this badly?

"Because I'm a daughter of war?

"Because I'm not a daughter of love?

"Because I was a praetor with you?

"Because I went to fight those battles by your side?

"Because I knew the old you was a child of Rome?

"Because I was raised a warrior?

"Because I could kick your podex?

"Because I knew that you would have my back?

"Because you balanced me out?

"Because I knew you longer?

"Because I sparred with you?

"Because she will never be a part of the legion?

"Because praetors falling in love was too mainstream for you?

"Because Romeo and Juliet is more of your style?

"Because I have tears in my eyes while I'm writing this to you?

"Because I would never be saying this to you if you were the old Jason Grace? (He would be right next to me now.)

"Because I'm a girl with scars?

"Because I don't cry in front of everyone?

"Because I've been taught that men were pigs at Circe's Island?

"Because I looked forward to seeing you when the Argo II hovered over our city?

"Because everything that I've done never really mattered to you?

"Because I don't like to let my hair down in front of everyone?

"Because I didn't meet you for the first time when you lost all of your memories?

"Because I'm not a girl who thinks the Mist is real?

"Because almost dying when we were younger isn't enough for you?

"Because I like horror movies?

"Because I'm not pretty enough for you?

"Because sons of Jupiter won't accept daughters of Bellona?

"Because you're not loyal to the home Lupa sent you?

"Because I've had my sister the whole time?

"Because she's an Amazon that doesn't approve of you?

"Because I don't know who my father is?

"Because my father probably isn't a famous actor?

"Because Camp is on the West coast and I don't know how to surf?

"Because I'd rather fight you than kiss you most of the time?

"Because I'm a realist?

"Because I had to run Camp all by myself?

"Because I didn't melt into your eyes the first time I saw you?

"Because I grew up too fast?

"Because you remember how long it took to earn my trust?

"Because we were best friends?

"Because you knew that I had started to like you more than that?

"Because I'm a queen who refuses to be dethroned?

"Because I'm nothing more than a friend to you?

"Because my eyes are just plain brown?

"Because Juno chose you as her champion?

"Because the saying goes 'the apple doesn't roll far from the tree'?

"Because the fame is only starting to get to you now?

"Because everything breaks too easily?

"Because I always knew you would end up with a Venus girl?

"Because my hair is too neat?

"Because I'm not playful enough?

"Because we worked most of the time together?

"Because everything with me was just a game, a challenge?

"Because saving me was a lost cause, saving grace?

"Because I might've started to love you?

You would think something happened between us.

Something did. Us being broken down, bit by bit. This was all until you felt nothing about me anymore.

But I'm the one still left with ties.

It took me a while to update this. I had it on my computer, but as you can see it doesn't seem so great.

I've been hooked up on 'Attack on Titan', anyone else?

Expect a chapter maybe in 2 weeks. ;D

Hey, I just wrote this, so review maybe! (okay, that was bad. Ignore my weird self.)
