Fire, flames and Judy

by LadyHazellyn

In autumn, Leo Valdez meets the overwhelming, joyful Judy Morstan, who has the incredible power to sneak into his heart faster than he can say something. With her personality, her looks, and the fact that she speaks Spanish, it s like she is made for Leo. But a girl from another time is waiting in the shadows, waiting for Leo to come back for her...but will he?

He watches her as she looks down at her tea.

The café is quiet, and there is only another couple here. But, they are not dating, him and Judy are not dating.

She stopped crying, buts he still refuses to talk about it, and he doesn´t feel like he should ask again, or she will run away.

" So..." He says, smiling at her. " Tell me about you, Judy Morstan. Who are you?"

She smiles back. " My name is Judy Morstan. I´m 15, and my birthday is on 7. November. What else...?" She asks, and he smiles again, taking notes inside his head. " I like music, of course. My special power...no, I´m not gonna tell you." She breaks off, and he can´t help but smile a little bit.

It´s not his fault that this girl is so cute.

Loving can hurt

" That´s all you need to know about me, I think" She says, and he nodds again. " Oh, and..." She stops. " The reason why I was crying before...It´s complicated" She says.

" Tell, I´m gonna listen." He says " And maybe I can cheer you up. I´m both, hot and funny." He says, and it flatters him how Judy starts laughing, like he really is funny. Calypso never laughed about his jokes like that, did she?

" You´re in love with yourself very much, aren´t you, Valdez?" She asks, and smiles at him.

One side of her face looks very happy right now, and he thinks that maybe he should just concentrate on the pretty, not burned half.

Loving can hurt sometimes

He nodds. " You could say that, I think so. I love myself, mainly because I´m perfect" He answers, and, thank the lord, she laughs again, and it´s high and pretty and it feels good inside his head.

" Sure you are" She says, with noticable sarcasm, it´s so cute he laughs again.

" You sarcastic little..." He says, and she rolls her eyes. " Shut up, Valdez"

He wants to respond, but a smell, a familiar smell comes up to his nose in this second. Cinnamon.

The smell of cinnamon, so familiar. It reminds him of hot summer days in Camp Half Blood, kissing a girl in the strawberry fields; reminds him of jumping into a lake with the girl and laughing with her; it reminds him of watching fireworks at night, talking about stars and staring at each others eyes. There is only one girl with a smell like that.

He turns around, and completely forgets about Judy for a second, because there are these eyes again, like hot chocolate. These eyes that speak of watching the snow melt after the winter; of holding hands as it rains while standing under a tree; those eyes remind him of the first dandelion in the grass in front of the Hephaistos Cabin.

This girl is Calypso.

But it´s the only thing

She looks at him as well, and for one second, he forgets why he broke up with her, because Calypso is everything he ever wanted and she looks so beautiful in these clothes, with her hair in a bun, a scarf around her neck and her beautiful violet coat.

" Leo?" She asks him, and he´s back in reality, turns to Judy.

" Oh, um...Judy...um...this is..." He stutters.

" I´m Calypso, his ex-girlfriend. And you are?" Calypso asks, and now he knows why he broke up with her, the evil in her voice creeping up into his ears.

" I´m Judy Morstan, one of his friends" Judy says, and he smiles at her, glad she said something. Calypso throws him off, even after those two months, but he does not miss her in this way, even if she is so, so pretty. Gods, he hates it so much sometimes.

" Oh, I guessed that. You could in no way be Leo´s girlfriend, I know this, because he only dates pretty girls. And that´s not your case, is it?" Calypso asks, and Leo decides that it is agood time to leave now. A very good time, good time.

" Um..Calypso, I think me and Judy should leave now, shouldn´t we, Judy?" He asks, and sees that Calypso smiles her typical mean smile.

She might be pretty to him, but he still hates her. Like, he really does.

" Oh, okay. Goodbye, Leo" Calypso says, and kisses him on the cheek quickly, " Goodbye Judy Morstan, I think we will see each other more often than we both desire from now on" She says, then Leo pulls Judy out of the Café with him.

She stares at him.

that I know

" Gods, Judy, I am so sorry. But, yes, that´s my ex. Calypso" He says, and frowns when she looks at him, her eyes looking tired all of sudden.

" It´s okay. She´s not very nice, is she?" Judy asks, and Leo does not know why, but he starts laughing, and thankfully, Judy laughs along.

And when she laughs like this, she is pretty without a doubt.

Fully pretty.

And when it gets hard

You know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive.

We keep this love in a photograph

We make these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still.

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket

Of your ripped jeans

Holdin' me closer

Till our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone

Wait for me to come home.

Loving can heal

Loving can mend your soul

And is the only thing

That I know (know)

I swear it will get easier

Remember that with every piece of ya

And it's the only thing we take with us when we die.

We keep this love in a photograph

We make these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Our hearts were never broken

And times forever frozen still.

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket

Of your ripped jeans

Holdin' me closer

Till our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone.

And if you hurt me

Well that's okay baby only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won't ever let you go.

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home.

Oh you can fit me

Inside the necklace you got when you were 16

Next to your heartbeat

Where I should be

Keep it deep within your soul.

And if you hurt me

Well that's okay baby only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won't ever let you go.

When I'm away

I will remember how you kissed me

Under the lamppost

Back on 6th street

Hearing you whisper through the phone

Wait for me to come home.

Lol stay tuned

bye
