Ch. 13

Calypso's POV

To be honest, I was actually glad that my friends new my secret. Call me crazy, but I like knowing that I don't have to hide this horrible truth from them. Even though they found out through something posted online, for everyone to see, they know and it kind of comforts me. I was always scared that they would judge me and I would be back to square one with no friends and a boyfriend that I don't actually love. But they stayed, and I love knowing that there was someone that stayed.

Even though I am happy about this being revealed to everyone, my agent wasn't to hot about it. She started screaming over the phone looking at the newest tabloids and newspapers pitying my history. She started to say that this was bad news for me, and that my label might drop me for not knowing this and even though I actually didn't care, they did.

I actually think it would be for the best if they dropped me. I could stop pretending to date Percy. He isn't really the type of guy that I like,(in the reviews say HOW AM I NOT YOUR TYPE if you've seen those text posts of Percy asking Nico how he's not his type:)) I mean he's amazing but I think there is someone else that could make him feel even more special.

I'm in Annabeth's room with her and her two little brothers. We're watching The Avengers, one of my favorites, and we're at the part where Captain America and Coulson have a really awkward conversation in a helicarrier. It reminds me of the first time I met Percy. He was skateboarding in Venice Beach while I was talking with Jason. We were talking about our favorite books and he suddenly ran into me. We both fell down, with him being on top of me. Which resulted our first words to be very awkward and the rest was history.

But even then, I knew we weren't right. I always knew that his heart always belonged to someone else and I never really tried to make an effort and change his mind. After my long and insightful thought, I turn my attention back to the flat screen TV mounted on Annabeth's wall. I look back just in time to see Thor steal Loki and the face off between Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America began.

Piper's POV

It was about 10 pm at night on a Sunday night. I was talking with Leo, our weekly ritual of three hour phone conversations. He talks about some girl he hit on yesterday when he was with Jason. As soon as Leo mentioned Jason's name, Piper zoned out of the conversation. There always seemed a moment every day when her thoughts lead back to the blond boy. Ever since he came back, feelings and memories have been flooding back in her mind. Not all of them good, but they were still about him.

Jason was always way to good for her. He was this perfect guy, and she had such a horrible history with everything and everyone. Her dad, stealing, being bullied, everything. But still, even when he was her friend it was always still enough. At least he was still in her life, a part of her. Now, it was like he was avoiding her and her friends as well. The only person he is hanging out with nowadays are Leo and Reyna. Not even Percy or Nico.

Reyna. She was probably the definition of perfection. She was famous, smart, regal, and beautiful. I knew I didn't stand a chance against her. I was average, normal, awkward, and sort-of pretty. How could Jason want me, when he could have Reyna? It was like comparing a mansion to a shack. There wasn't even a question on who he was going to choose.

But why should I be dwelling on my problems, when there were other things going on? One of them including Calypso. She was so chill with everything going on, with the secret coming out, it was like she was glad that everyone knew. I know that if anyone else found out about my dad, being famous and all, I would be furious because I would be afraid if people were just talking to me because they wanted an autograph. It's happened before, whose to say it will stop? But, I kind of admire Calypso with still being okay and happy, after everything she's gone through. She's one tough chick.

"Helllooooo? Earth to Piper? Beauty Queen? Supreme Overlord?" I heard Leo pause, waiting for a reply and I snapped out of my thoughts. I answered back with a smile on my face, "No, keep on going. I like knowing that you think that I'm your supreme overlord. It's got a better ring to it than Beauty Queen." He chuckled over the phone and said, "You okay? You've been zoning out a lot recently. Something on your mind that you need to confess? You need a girlfriend to talk to? Cause I could play a girl for a few minutes. It clears my head."

I laughed and said back over excitedly, "So you're telling me you sometimes pretend that your a girl? Oh em gee, who's your crush?" Leo guffawed and answered, "Okay, don't tell anyone, but, Jason." I playfully gasp, and go along with it saying, "NU UH. OH EM GEE SAME. I think we have to thumb wrestle for his hand. Whadaya think?" I can tell he's smiling as he says, "Sure, but I just got a manicure so if you come even close to breaking my nail, consider our friendship over."

I laugh a hearty laugh and answer, "Then in that case, never mind. I don't even want a chance of you and me getting into a cat fight." We laugh again, and then both sigh. Ever since the three boys came back, it's been really hard to laugh and banter around like this. I miss this. I miss being able to joke around so easily with Leo and not being afraid on bringing up the touchy subject of Jason.

But, we just did. So, it's giving me hope that maybe me and Jason's friendship isn't doomed. Maybe there was still hope. And I know, hope is for chumps, but what can I say? I'm a helpless chump when it comes to Jason.

Jason's POV

I'm with Reyna in my room right now. As I sit on an arm chair she's on my bed, lying on her stomach reading a book. I stare at her for a few seconds, trying to work up the nerve to ask her about the article that was posted on the school website about Calypso. I know she may have been the cause of this. She's been acting really weirdly ever since she's moved here.

"So," I start, and she looks up from her book and gives me her full attention, "did you see that article about Calypso on the school website?" She looks down to her book with a guilty face, then looks up back up to me and confesses, "Yeah, I did. I know what it looks like. That I am the only one who could have done this. And to be honest, I might have started the article myself."

A shocked expression appears on my face, and she looks into my eyes and continues, "I mean, I didn't physically start this story, I would never do that. But I did mention something to Drew Tanaka." I wince, knowing that if she told the information to Drew, she was probably being blackmailed. I ask, "What did she say?" Reyna sighed, now looking everywhere in the room but me.

"She threatened me that she would tell everyone about my family and me." My expression softened, Reyna had a rough family history. Her dad walked out when she was three years old, which resulted her mom working 24/7, giving Reyna and her sister no mother/daughter time. Reyna and her sister Hylla have been competing for everything, because they knew that who ever won, would get their mom's attention for at least a second, Hylla won most of the time, which resulted the two sisters growing apart and as they grew up, Hylla found her way to the spotlight and Reyna was in the background. With her broken family, Reyna tried to commit suicide multiple times.

I found Reyna in a really depressed state the first time we met. I helped her out of it, and we just clicked. But no matter how bad her history was, it still didn't give her the right to give personal information about Calypso to save her own ass. I knew this, and I knew that I had to tell Reyna what I thought.

"Reyna, I understand why you told Drew. But if I was put in your situation, Calypso or me, I would have chosen my secret to be revealed, not some one else's." She looks at her hands and says to me without looking up, "I know it was a stupid thing to do. She threatened me, and I panicked. I didn't think about it because I didn't WANT to. The past was buried down so deep in my head, that I never really thought about it anymore. She would have brought all of my pain back by releasing that information to the world."

"Listen Reyna," I start, "I understand where you're coming from. But, I just can't get over the fact that you may have brought pain to Calypso. You chose yourself over Calypso and revealed something really deep. I just can't see you the same way I used to before right now. I'm sorry" She looked up from her hands and got up from my bed, walking towards me. "Jason, I'm still the same girl. I just panicked, she put a really big ultimatum towards me. You got to believe me!"

I nod as my eyes start to well up with tears. I really loved her, I believed in her. I just couldn't stop thinking how she didn't even think of how Calypso was part of this equation and also an easier way to handle the situation, it didn't seem like Reyna. I started and my voice broke, "I just think that, we, um," I couldn't bring myself to say the words and Reyna's expression didn't help me either. She looked as is she was going to break. I felt the same way.

"I feel like, we, um, I, just," the tears are so close to falling, and I wipe them with my sweater sleeve. "We both need to think things over. And, um," she's crying now and all I want to do is hug her and tell her it will be alright, but I can't tell her it will be, because it isn't. "I think it was time, that, we, should. Damn, I can't believe this is happening," I say wiping some more tears welling up. Reyna chuckles, despite their situation, and finishes what I can't bear to say. "I understand Jase. We need a break, and the fact that you can't say it gives me hope that we can still care for each other. As friends at least."

She smiles a sad smile and kisses me on the cheek, leaving me speechless. I just want to turn around and run to her, so badly, but I know that I need to let her go. A tear goes down my cheek, and then I realize something. I'm saying good bye to a chapter in my life. This amazing chapter that was filled with love, hope, and so many dreams that came true. This chapter is ending and a new one is beginning. I can take more chances and make more mistakes and find another person that I love and love them, until it's the end of that chapter and there's a new one beginning.

Because that's what life is, to begin again, and yes that is a name for a Taylor Swift song, but who cares. Because I sure don't give a crap, and I just want to learn from Reyna. An amazing girl that has been so strong and been through so much, and we will still be friends because she's amazing and she will always be. And I want more amazing people in my life, to make my life better.

So I go and sit on my bed and look at all my photos and land on a photo of some one I've been thinking about a lot lately. And her name was Piper McLean.

A/N: OKAY. Well that took a turn, but to be honest while I wrote it I was re watching Red Band Society on that episode where Kara was with Hunter and they were talking about life, and I love life, and apparently so does Jason. I feel like he was a bit OOC so I apologize X)

Plus, this chapter was really centered around feelings so I hope none of the characters were too OOC
