Coffee

Chapter seven, The Diamonds Dream

Hazel POV,

I lie on my bed and try to fall asleep. The boat rocks back and fourth. I've cried myself out. I won't be able to cry even if I want to. I feel really bad. I know that I swear upon the river Styx that I wouldn't think about anything before I said it, but how could I be so stupid? I said I chose Leo over Frank, I said I love Leo, and everything else backfired from it and it's Piper's fault! She made me swear that I wouldn't think about stuff and now I'm in the middle of such a big mess, and I don't mind mess most of the time! I am not a neat freak or whatever Leo called it!

Okay, calm down, she said she had a plan. But come on, Frank is dead...that couldn't have been part of her plan. It couldn't, it couldn't, it couldn't!

I sit up and take a deep breath. You love Leo and Leo loves you, you don't need Frank. But Frank was my best friend! Oh, but Leo was my best friend when Frank and were dating. Did I love them both at once? No, that's impossible. Who did I love? Well, I think that there is only one person who can tell me that. But I can't leave! I can't show my face out there now!

I take deep breaths in and out. I'll ask Nico to get her when he comes up. He and I spend meals up here together now.

I need a clear head space. I need to go to sleep.

Only now I realize that I got out of bed and started pacing my room. I lie back down and close my eyes. I sit for about ten minutes until sleep overtakes me.

I'm back in New Orleans. I am sitting with Sammy...No, not Sammy, Leo. And on the other side I see Frank. But this is way before my time, I am a princess and Leo and Frank are fighting, they are both knights. Okay, since when did that actually happen in real life back then? I mean, come on!

"Choose, Hazel!" Frank yells.

"Yeah Haze, choose!" Leo yells, using my nickname.

"I don't know" I scream.

"She chooses me, I'm her boyfriend!" Frank yells.

"Well, I'm her best friend" Leo says.

"Who do you choose, Hazel?" Frank asks.

"I don't know, I like you both" I say. I don't want to ruin my friendship with Frank but I love Leo! Who can I choose?

A shimmer on the top of the hill catches my eye. It's a girl, maybe in her teens. I can only see the back of her. She has light brown hair that's in a braid, she's wearing a beautiful dress, she is very skinny, her ears are small, she is very tall, and I can tell that she is very pretty.

When she turns, it's Piper. Her face is perfect and her eyes gleam.

"Hazel Levesque?" Piper says.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Who do you really love? Just tell us" Piper says.

"I can't" I whisper.

"When will you be able to?" Frank growls.

"I don't know" I say.

"Well, it's obviously me!" Frank says.

"It could be me" Leo chimes in.

"No, it's me!" Frank screams.

"Me!" Leo yells.

"Boys, boys, let Hazel decide. You both love her, don't you? Speak truthfully" Piper says.

"I love her!" Leo yells.

"Frank?" Piper asks.

Frank looks down.

"Frank?" I ask.

I wake up to the sound of Nico's voice. "Hey, Hazel, you want any dinner or are you going to sleep, cause I'm not leaving either way, I like it in here."

"Nico, Frank doesn't love me!" I say.

"Excuse me?" Nico asks.

"Frank didn't love me in the first place, I owe him nothing" I say.

"Okay, hold on, who do you like?" Nico asks.

"I don't know" I say.

"I think it's time for me to get Piper" Nico say. He pauses for a second. "After I finish eating."

He hands me a bowl of gumbo. He knows that I love it; it reminds me of New Orleans. I miss New Orleans sometimes, that was my home. I miss Sammy. But, I have to say, I like Leo a lot more than I like Sammy.

Nico and I eat in silence for a few minutes.

"Who do you like?" I ask after a few minutes.

"Not telling" Nico says.

"Oh my gosh, who?" I ask.

"You will never get it out of me!" Nico says.

I roll my eyes. "Is it Annabeth?"

"No" Nico says with no emotion so it can't be her.

"Hmm...Piper?" I ask.

"No" Nico says the same way.

"Anyone on this ship?" I ask.

"Hazel, the only other people on this ship is you and I'm not incest and the rest are guys and I'm not gay" Nico says.

"Hmm...That oracle girl?" I ask.

"No."

"...Gwen?"

"No."

"Percy?"

"I am not gay!"

"Is it a person at any of the camps?"

"I'm not telling."

"Is it camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter?"

"Jupiter."

"Reyna?"

"Erm...no" Nico says.

"Really Nico? She'd kill you!" I say.

"What can I say? I like a girl with a temper" Nico says.

I laugh.

"Okay, I'll go get Piper" Nico says.

I nod.

Nico takes his empty plate that used to have had a salad on it and leaves with me giggling.

My dream comes back to me. Frank looked down, he didn't answer! And than he had such a fit about me liking Leo! Well, I can't really call it a fit, considering what happened...

Oh my gosh, Frank is dead.

I can already feel the tears running down my cheeks. Frank is gone. Gone. He is never coming back!

Piper walks in and sits down.

"So, what's got you down?" Piper asks.

"I don't know what to do! I don't know who I love!" I say.

"Okay, I'm going to try out a game that I saw on a TV show. So, clear your mind completely" Piper says.

I stop thinking...

"Cats or dogs?" Piper asks.

"Cats."

"Boys or girls?"

"Boys."

"Water or fire?"

"Fire."

"Purple of green?"

"Green."

"Frank or Leo?"

"Leo."
