"Sparky, maybe I would've if you'd asked me earlier, but I'm going out with Will now."

I winced when I saw his face fall.

I liked Jason back; there was no doubt in my mind. Yet I liked Will too; he was extremely nice to me. So when he asked me out, I didn't hesitate to say yes.

What I didn't expect was for Jason to ask me out twenty minutes later.

"Oh, um…I'll go now." He said, sulking as he walked away.

I stood there for a while, trying to process what just happened. Before I knew what was happening I was crying. Once I finally stopped, I walked to the bathroom to try to dry the redness out of my eyes. When I finally looked as if I hadn't been crying, I walked to the backstage room.

People were packing up their things and getting ready to leave. Jason was nowhere to be seen, as I expected. Strangely, Percy and Leo weren't there either.

"Where are the idiots?" I asked Annabeth as we started to walk to the limo.

Annabeth smirked. "They ate too many chicken wings and had to go back sick half an hour ago."

I snorted and laughed, but stopped when Annabeth's smile fell. "Jason went with them too, he looked pretty upset."

I nodded. "Yeah, I'm having some…boy trouble right now."

She gave me a knowing smile. "Yeah, I feel you. When I was younger I liked this guy named Luke. Four years ago he joined a gang in New York and betrayed all of his friends. Percy and I had been best friends prior to that, and I fell for him. Being the clueless idiot he is, he didn't get the hint until two years ago, when he finally asked me out. We tried Demigod Idol just for fun. I don't think either of us expected to make it this far."

"So everything worked out for you two." I said.

She nodded. "After a lot of trouble and confusion, yeah, it did. You'll eventually find out who you're meant to be with, whether it's Jason or Will or somebody else, I promise."

I smiled. "Thanks Annabeth, it really helps. At least I know that all boys are clueless now."

She laughed, and I joined in. We got to the limo and climbed in. A minute or two after I sat down, Will came and sat next to me.

"Hey Piper!" he said brightly.

Despite all of the confusion, I couldn't help but smile. He was always so sweet and cheerful all the time. He always brightens up the room just by walking in. I guess that's what he gets for being a son of Apollo.

"Hey Will." I responded enthusiastically.

He was a lot like Jason, that's for sure. The blonde hair, though Jason's was golden blonde while will's was more sandy, and the blue eyes, Jason's being a stunning electric blue and Will's being sky blue.

I mentally cursed myself. Stunning? I had to stop that, I was with Will now.

We didn't talk for the rest of the ride home. When we were almost there I looked over at Will and saw that he was fidgeting.

"Are you okay?" I asked him sincerely.

He bit his lip. "Well, I'm just nervous about the competition. We're all such good friends here, and we're going to be separated eventually."

I patted his shoulder. "Well right now, let's just focus on doing our best."

"Alright, I'll try." he said as the limo pulled to a stop at our hotel.

"Do you want to hang out tonight?" Will asked when we got into the lobby.

I mentally panicked. Should I?

"You know, Will, I'm really tired tonight, I think I'm going to hit the sack." I lied. I was actually wide awake, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

His smile fell for a second, but he regained it just as quickly. "Alright, that's fine. Don't want to be too tired for the judging night, do you?" We walked together to the elevator, and we held it open for the other contestants. Well, half of them. Twelve teenagers don't fit very comfortably in a small elevator.

When it was our floor, we all piled out of the elevator. Annabeth was in our group so we walked together to our room.

When I caught sight of my comfy bed, I immediately felt more tired. I proceeded to get ready for bed.

Before I went to bed I sent a silent prayer to every god and goddess I could think of to help me figure out this mess. Lastly I prayed to my mom.

"Mom, um…hi. Well, I just wanted to ask if you could make my love life a bit easier. I've had enough boy trouble, with Dylan and everything…just help me make a decision. Thanks."

I laid back on my bed and dreamed of Will and Jason, anxious and scared for tomorrow night.

Uhhh…this was such a crappy chapter. I just really wanted to update really badly and give a bit on Piper and Will. I think I'll continue Piper's POV for next chappie, because this was short and meaningless. More chapters will come soon!

Peace, Love, and Jasper, ~Dezi, watching a moping Will spending his night alone.~
