AN. Okay, this chapter is non beta'd so sorry if there are spelling mistakes. You've been warned!

Leo POV

Everyone gone but her, everyone...Beauty Queen, Bolts Boy, Shape Shift, and the really scary one...Reyna I think.

But there is still Hazel. But seeing her like this...she is always crying and she can't even talk anymore! She is so sad, and I can't help her...Gods of Olympus, I love her!

I'm sitting outside the Athena/Minerva cabin (we turned our camps into one after the war) with Percy and Annabeth. They had survived, happily.

Annabeth can't talk anymore. She screams and sometimes cries randomly. Percy doesn't want to believe it, but he knows it's true, Annabeth is going insane. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it either, I feel like she's my sister, but I guess I can take it a little more easily than Percy.

"Books" Annabeth mutters.

Percy runs too her side.

"Annabeth! You spoke!" Percy says.

Annabeth's eyes light up and she grins and repeats the word.

I run forward, grinning.

Percy gives her a huge hug.

"High five" I say. Annabeth rolls her eyes but smacks my hand.

Percy kisses her.

He gives her another hug.

I give her a hug, too.

"Can I get a hug for Hazel?" I ask.

Annabeth nods.

I hug her again and make my way for the Hades/Pluto cabin.

It's always just one kid in that cabin, isn't it? Hazel was looking forward too spending more time with Nico. Oh, there's another to add to my list, Death Kid.

I wish I could help her, that's why I wrote something for her that I hope might help.

Nope, not actually reading from it. Dude, come on, dyslexia and ADHD, I wouldn't ever survive. That's why I have an invisible earpiece, hahaHA!

Wait a second, why am I going to her cabin in the first place? She is just going to be even sadder; I don't want to hurt her.

I guess I need to tell her sometime...

I get to Hazel's cabin and I knock on the door.

A few seconds later she answers.

Hazel still has tears running down her face.

"Can you talk today?" I ask.

She shakes her head and the tears speed up.

I give her a hug and say, "You'll be able to talk someday."

She shakes her head again.

"Can I come in?" I ask

Hazel nods and I walk in causally and sit on the edge of her bed.

"I wish you weren't mute, you were so much fun to talk to" I say, as brightly as possible.

An even more depressed look takes place on Hazel's face.

I mentally slap myself in the face.

"Annabeth has started talking again, she said something about books. Percy was the first one there. I was happy too, but you should have seen Percy's face. He cried he was so happy. After that it was all kissing and stuff, but I thought that'd make you happy" I say.

The tears slow down on her face and a smile appears.

"Good, Annabeth was happy we were all happy. She smiled a lot. She even said the word 'books' for all of us. I gave her a hug and another one for you" I say.

Hazel opens her arms, I give her a hug.

"Oh Hazel, I wish that you could be happy again" I say, holding her as tight as I can. I really need her to feel happy again, for her to raise an eyebrow at one of my jokes, for her to smile again. I need the real Hazel more than anything. The hyper Hazel, the spastic Hazel, the smart Hazel, the funny Hazel...that's the real Hazel. Right now, she is the sad Hazel, the depressed Hazel, the mute Hazel, the non-hyper Hazel, she isn't the right Hazel, but I love her no matter what.

I need my Hazel!

She holds me tight too. Her tears start too run down my shoulder as she cries.

I sit down on the bed.

"Okay, I've been working on this for a few days...It's kind of like a speech, but not quite. I just want you too know that we all still care." I say, trying to find a piece of paper I wrote everything down on, that I put in my tool belt. I can't believe that when I want to find something like the note thingy, it's no where to be found.

Instead, I just take a random piece of paper from my tool belt and pretend to read from it.

I turn on the ear piece and the voice runs throw it and I start to talk:

'How long has it been since we first met? I know it's only been a month or two, but it feels like I've known you forever' It's true; she has become my best friend in less than three months. 'The first time I saw you, it brought a smile to my face 'cause I knew we were going to be friends' I was glad I was right about that, Hazel smiles. 'After all of this, you are my best friend, and I know you always have been. I know everyone died, but we still have each other. During the war, with that one giant...Hazel, I thought I had lost you' if I had lost her at that moment, I would have just died, my heart would stop and I'd die. Just like that. 'I couldn't let that happen, I needed you to stay safe. I would have gone completely insane if you were killed, almost everyone else I love had already died. If you died, I would never forgive myself, I would die on the inside, I would blame myself' I would, I know Hazel would do the same if anyone else died. She already blames herself for the deaths, which just kills me. 'The more I get to know you, the more I care about you. I could never have imagined a better friend. You are so headstrong, tough...beautiful. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, because this is probably the longest thing I've ever said in my life, but I really care about you. You're my diamond, and you aren't any kind of curse. I'd be happy to be under your spell, but I think I already am.'

I stand, and smile at her. Her tears run faster down her face as she drops too her knees. Good job Leo; you're such a genius, not!

I bend down beside her, and put my hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"Oh gosh, was that wrong? I shouldn't have done that, should I?" I say, again, mentally slapping myself in the face again.

Hazel chokes.

"Hazel, I'm sorry" I say. The tears grow heavy in my eyes, and they start to fall.

Hazel looks up at me, and wipes the tears away.

"Are you mad at me?" I ask.

Hazel shakes her head. Oh thank the gods!

She leans her head on my shoulder.

"It wasn't your fault you know; you couldn't have stopped any of them from dying. But at least they died as heroes; most people suffer a worse death. They were happy, all of 'em" I say. I rub her back, hoping it might calm her down a bit.

She puts her head on my shoulder, than looks up at me and shakes her head.

"You are going to make it through this, you are the strongest person I know" I say, making direct eye contact.

Hazel opens her mouth. I expect she might cry harder or scream, but she speaks!

"I love you."

"I love you too" I say, I start to cry, I put my head on her shoulder and let the tears slowly fall, and I speak shakily, "We can make it through this you know, we can still win."

Hazel nods. Life is not over, so I'm glad I get to spend it with Hazel Levesque, whose life is also NOT OVER! Thank the gods.

The end!

AN. Okay, what do you think? Comment please, but if you flame, I will flame you :D.
