"Whats wrong?" Asks Leo, concerned.

" J-Jason." Was all Piper managed.

"I'll be right over. Don't move. " Leo says, hanging up.

That's what Piper loved about Leo. No matter what happened, he was always there for her through the toughest times. He knew her inside out. He knew that she needs him by the tone of her voice.

Five minutes later, Leo found her sitting on the ground with her back against the small kitchen's cabinets. After he got her to stop crying, she told him the story. He smiled and brought out a few movies and chocolate from his toolbelt. Piper sniffles and laughed.

"I'll call him, you stay here." Leo demanded. He set up her movie, handed her chocolate and walked into the guest bedroom, shutting the door. Things might get ugly.

Ring ring, ring ring.

"Hello?" Jason's voice croaks. He's been crying too. And judging by the sounds around him, he's walking through the recent rain.

"Jase, dude. Where are you? " Leo asks, concern lacing his voice.

"I think I'm lost. " Jason pauses, "Wait, I'm at Central Park. Why?"

"I'm here with Piper. That's why. She knew you'd react like this if you saw the guy. She was just studying, Jay!" Leo says tiredly.

"It didn't look like it." Jason protested.

"She was being polite. That's all. Piper has a thing about being polite to others when out." Leo says. Jason sighs on the other end.

How much did it have to take for this guy to just friggin COME BACK already? Leo mentally screamed.

Meanwhile Piper had calmed down a bit. She looked at the charm bracelet Jason had given her. One of the charms was a locket and inside the locket was the words 'I love you'. Piper could never forget that. She remembered all the times that they walked Hand in hand on the beach at camp. Where was Jason? Was he Ok? Will he ever come back to her? If he had a certain place in mind to go, where was it?

Piper walked back into the room, Which she and Jason shared, even though the guest bedroom was technically hers. It looked empty. Jason had emptied the cupboard where his clothes were, his nightstand and a picture. Piper rummaged through the empty drawers, only coming up with a pair of superman boxers and an old sweatshirt.

In desperation, Piper slipped on the shirt and took in the smell of rain and the memories accompanied by it.

Flashback

"Piper! It's raining in the camp borders!" Leo cheered from outside.

Piper flung open the door to her cabin and ran outside, not caring if the world saw her in the plaid flannel pajama pants and an old baggy shirt.

It was indeed raining. Leo was spinning around and laughing. Piper not far behind. When she was younger, she did ballet, so she started pirouetting.

"Nice, Pipes!" a deep familiar voice said from behind her. She whipped around. Jason!

"Thanks. I'm a bit rusty though." She admits.

"Better than me, that's for sure!" Jason says, standing next to her. He stops her spinning and looks her in the eye.

Wasn't it just yesterday that he said there was a girl for him?

Wasn't it just yesterday that they'd started ignoring each other?

Wasn't it just yesterday that Piper realised that she might love Jason?

His captivating blue eyes bored into her ever changing ones.

"I like your eyes." He blurts, "They keep changing and I can never figure out what colour they are."

Piper looks at him oddly.

"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings yesterday. I wasn't thinking. "

And Piper wasn't thinking when he kissed her. Her arms went around his neck, and his were around her slim waist.

Piper loved the rain, she decides, and and the son of its God.

Flashback ends

And here Piper is, crying her eyes out for the exact same person. How could he make her feel this way? Why did Jason jump to conclusions?

Worry filled the daughter of love. Where was he?

"Pipes." Leo says from the door. Piper wasn't aware of how much time had passed. Ten minutes. "Someone's here to see you."

Leo stood aside, and let Jason in the door. He saaw the red under Pipers sunken eyes. He knew he was the one who caused it. He knew it really wasn't what it looked like. Jason worried if she would ever forgive him.

And he knew he instantly was when she catapoulted herself into his arms. Her hair smelled of flowers, as always. When she pulled back she slapped him.

"Do you know how worried I was? Do you have any idea what I just went through?" She said shakily.

Her slap didn't really hurt all that much. She wrapped her arms around his waist and he, her. She was shaking. Not crying, just trembling.

"I'm here now." Jason said, kissing the top of her head, admiring how soft her hair was. Leo must've gone back home to Calypso. They were making that shop they had talked about, and Jason was happy Leo found love.

They must've stood there for hours because Jason's leg felt like jelly. His hair was now dry.

"Pipes," he mumbled into her hair, "I think I need to sit down."

Piper giggled a bit, her eyes rimmed with red and pulled away. Her heart had mended.

-_- ^~^ ^_^ :)

That night, Piper slept in her own was a big girl now. She shouldn't need to go crying to Jason because of a nightmare.

Jason's bed felt oddly empty. Piper was missing from the picture, and Jason was worried he had made her back away a bit.

The gods payed rent for them, in favour of them saving the world (Jason doing so twice) so Jason didn't really need a job.

Every night, even though Jason could kinda hear her crying, he stayed where he was, knowing she didn't want to come across as weak. She always had thought that she was the weak link in the seven, much to everyone's dismay. She under estimated herself.

She had had enough. Piper, during the winter, walked through central park alone every day after school without Jason. He eventually grew worried, because she was particularly late one day.

Jason didn't know she took her time thinking, her dark scarf wrapped around her neck, keeping her warm. She sat under a tree, and looked at the white snow by her feet. It floated down softly, sitting on top of her beanie and getting tangled in her long hair. Piper reached out a hand to catch a flake. She barely felt the soft frozen particle touch her hand.

"Piper?" Piper snapped up her head to the sound of her name. Hazel was swinging her and Frank's joined hands in between them. "Is everything Ok?"

Piper was glad Hazel always helped. She helped her get used to the fact that she was actually not dead anymore being a second timer herself. She and Piper often talked at school about camp, homework etc. Basically anything a normal teenage girl never would.

"Yeah." Piper muttered absent mindedly, "Why?"

"You just seeem a little lost." Hazel replies softly like she was handling glass. Piper sighs. "If anything is wrong, you know you can talk to me. You know where I am."

"Ok, thanks Haze." Piper says, still feeling like she was floating away. "You can go back to your date."

Hazel smiles and keeps walking with Frank. Piper's phone vibrates in her pocket.

"Hey Jason." Piper says cheerfully, "Whats up?"

Jason sighs, glad she was Ok. "Nothing. Where are you?"

An idea forms in his and her head slowly.

"Central Park under our tree." Piper says, curious as to what he's up to.

"Ok. I'll come and get you." Jason says, walking out the door, wit his wallet and keys stuffed hastily in his back pocket. "Don't go anywhere."

Jason later arrived at the tree that they had called 'theirs'. Piper wasn't sitting by it. Suddenly, a large clump of snow is shoved down his jacket. The culprit runs away. Before she ducks under another tree, Jason catches sight of the bottom of a combat boot attached to long legs covered in jeans.

Jason chased after Piper, successfully tripping her up and landing on top of her. He could feel her heart beating fast through her sweater and his, knowing that his was faster.

"Gotcha." Jason whispered in her ear, making her laugh loudly. Jason took a fistful of snow and shoved it down her sweater. Piper shrieked.

Jason ran, keeping in her sight. After she chased him down, it turned into a full on snow fight. Jason thought it was over and he won, after Piper fell out of her tree. He rushed over to the fallen Daughter of Aphrodite. Her eyes were shut and she was barely breathing.

Jason only just realised how late it was. Barely anyone was around.

"Help!" he shouted, looking around, "Help!"

Piper reached up and hit him in the face with a snow ball when he wasn't looking. Seeing his expression change, she laughed.

"Think that's funny, don't you?" Jason pokes her cheek, smiling too, "What about this?"

Jason mercilessly tickles her. After she's laughing so hard, pipers crying, they start walking back home with Jason's arm around Pipers shoulders and hers around his waist.

"That was fun." Piper remarked, still grinninh madly while hanging her jacket up.

"It was." Jason agreed, putting on his pajamas and falling into bed. Five minutes later, the bed dips next to him and Pipers there, tucking herself into him. Jason rested his chin on her head.

"Goodnight Pipes. I love you." Jason says to her, even though her eyes are once again shut.

"Love you too." She replies, pecking his cheek and falling asleep with a grin.
