So I was sitting in the shop at school when there was the sound of muffled footsteps, "Leo?"
I turned to find Piper standing there, she was released a week or so ago and I was the only one she was talking to at the moment. Some of her memory was beginning to come back. She was remembering some of the things Jason and I told her about but she wasn't remembering much.
"Hey Pipes I'm over here!" I called.
Piper walked around the corner to where I was in the finish room. She sat there with me, she was pretty quiet. Surprsingly her car only needed a little work. She was happy about that because she did remember that she loved her car. She did after all get it as a present from her father. He was trying to offer her a nice BMW convertible but she wanted the used Torrent.
"Hey can you give me a ride tonight?" she asked.
I nodded, "Of course I can just give me a few minutes and we'll be out of here."
"Thanks Leo, she what are you doing right now?" she asked.
"I just finished making a little boat and I feel that it needs finish." I said.
She nodded, "You did all of that?"
"Yup with my own two hands." I joked.
Piper laughed, "Repair Boy."
"You remembered that?" I asked her.
She nodded, "I've always called you that."
"Ok Beauty Queen." I grinned.
She rolled her eyes and watched me as I finished the boat. Piper and I were out of the shop by dinner time and I decided that I was in the mood for some tacos.
"Are you hungry?" I asked her.
She nodded, "Starving."
"Mexican food ok?" I asked her.
She nodded, "Sounds good."
"Good I'm taking you to the best Mexican place there is." I grinned.
We pulled into my apartment complex and parked. Piper and I walked up to my apartment where my mom was cooking. The first smell that hit me when I walked through the door was the sizzling spices.
"Mom I'm home and Piper's with me!" I called.
My mom came out of the kitchen, "You're just in time for dinner."
"What's on the menu tonight?" I asked.
"Well I didn't think Piper would be here….but there's tacos, rice, beans, and for dessert I made flan." My mom smiled.
"Mom Piper's not vegetarian any more…she had a wake up call last year remember?" I asked.
"Oh yeah I remember mijo." She smiled.
"Hi Esperanza." Piper smiled.
"Well come on dinner is going to get cold." My mom said.
We followed her through the kitchen and she dished out our food. We all sat in the dining room and my mom drilled us about what was going on in our lives.
"How is your memory mija?" my mom asked Piper.
"Um it's sort of coming back." Piper admitted, "I'm starting to remember things from that night and all of the other things that I'm not remembering."
"You'll get that memory back." My mom smiled.
"I finished the boat I was designing." I said.
"Muy bien mijo, how does it look?" she asked.
"It looks pretty awesome considering the fact that it's only two feet tall." I said.
"You still took the time to make it so I'm sure it looks magnificent." She smiled.
Then out of nowhere Piper dropped her fork, "I remember now."
I looked at her, "Remember what Pipes?"
"Everything…" she trailed off.
"So you know who all your friends are?" I asked.
Piper nodded, "I know who they are, and I know who Jason is."
"Jason is our best friend."
"Jason is the reason I got into that stupid accident in the first place and missed three months of school because I was sitting in the hospital." Piper said.
My mom looked at Piper, "Mija what happened that night?"
"I…we were doing some things that we shouldn't be doing and I left. I was driving when out of nowhere this woman slammed into me." Piper said.
"Piper you remember everything?" I asked her.
"Yes Leo I remember everything." She said.
After dinner Piper and I were on dish duty. She smiled at me and continued to dry the dishes.
After that I looked at the clock, "I should probably get you home shouldn't I?"
She shrugged, "If you want to, I can take a cab."
"There is no way I'm letting you take a cab." I shook my head.
"Leo seriously I'm fine." She insisted.
"Piper it's either I take you to your house or you stay here tonight, it is a Friday." I said.
"Fine I'll stay here tonight." She huffed.
I rolled my eyes, "Do you want something to sleep in?"
She looked at me, "Yes."
"Follow me." I gestured for her to follow me to my room.
"Where are you two going?" my mom called from the living room I could hear her favorite Spanish Soap operas.
"We're going to my room!" I called.
"Ok."
I opened the door and Piper walked in and plopped down on my bed. She patted the spot next to her, "Come here."
I sat down and she scooted closer to me, "Thanks Leo."
"For what?" I asked.
"Being completely honest with me when I didn't remember a thing." She whispered.
I looked at her and realized how close our faces were, "Piper there has to be a reason Jason wasn't telling you everything."
She didn't say anything but she just nodded and before I knew it her lips softly brushed against mine. I honestly didn't know how to respond to this. Piper and I don't have a friendship like that. I figured she was always more into Jason than anything.
"You're back in time for prom." I said.
She looked at me and smiled, "Yeah prom that's what every girl needs in her life."
"Well I figured that you'd want to like plan prom or something." I shrugged.
"Uhuh, that's Thalia's job she's class president." Piper shook her head, "That would be too much of a headache. I'll help with the decorations."
Neither of us brought up the kiss the rest of the night. Piper and I watched her favorite movie and then we went to sleep. I slept on the futon in my room and I let Piper have my bed. In the morning Piper and I made plans to meet up with the gang for a day at the mall. That was going to be interesting considering that there was so much drama in the group that it was ridiculous.
I swung Piper by her place so she could shower and what not and then we were off to the mall. We found our friends lazing around by the food court. Thalia and Annabeth were sipping on smoothies, Percy and Luke were just kind of standing there, Hazel was sharing a Cinnabon with Frank, Jason and Reyna looked like they wanted to die….that's usually how they looked this early in the morning, Nico was distancing himself, Riley was talking with Hazel, Rachel and Apollo were just returning from Starbuck's, and then there were Piper and I who just arrived.
"Hey guys!" Thalia greeted us.
"Hey Thalia." Piper smiled.
"How are you doing?" Thalia asked.
"I remember everything for the most part, some things are still kinda fuzzy." Piper said shooting Jason a hard glare.
"Well that's good that you can remember things." Annabeth smiled.
Piper nodded, "I know."
"So what are we up to now?" Percy asked.
"Well why don't we just kind of split into groups then meet up later at Build-A-Bear or something." Hazel suggested.
We all agreed, "Sounds like a plan."
We split into our groups, mine happened to be Reyna, Jason, Piper, Frank, and Hazel. That was going to be fun considering that Frank hates my guts for Hazel liking me but that is so not my fault. I can't help that she finds the Super Sized McShizzle attractive.
"So where should we go first?" Hazel asked.
"I think we should go goof around at the music store." Reyna and Piper suggested at the same time.
"Well then music store it is." Jason smiled.
I was flipping through some of the old records they had and Hazel walked over to me, "Hey Leo."
"Oh hi Hazel." I smiled but didn't look up.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing I'm glad Piper remembered everything though." I shrugged, "What's up with you?"
"About the same." She shrugged.
I could sense Frank watching us from a distance. For some reason I always knew when he was glaring at me whenever I talked to Hazel.
"So you going to prom?" I asked her.
"Only if someone asks me." She shrugged.
"Why don't you go with Frank?" I asked her nonchalantly.
"That's kinda who I was hoping would ask me." She admitted.
"Well then hint at it around him. Look he thinks that you're into me, crazy right? If dropping hints won't work then just flat out tell him that you want to go to prom with him." I said.
"Oh he thinks I like you?" Hazel asked.
I nodded, "Yes, yes he does."
"Well no offense but I like Frank." She said sheepishly.
"I know that but he doesn't." I muttered as I continued to flip through the records.
"Thanks for the advice Leo." Hazel smiled.
"Anytime Hazel, anytime." I said as she walked away.
Jason walked over to me and picked up a record, "So Piper remembers everything?"
"Yup and she is not happy with you for not telling her the full truth." Leo said.
"I didn't want her to hate me." Jason muttered.
"Well look at what you've done now and maybe if you told her this mess wouldn't have been made." I shrugged.
"You're totally right. I made this whole mess." He admitted, "Reyna and I broke up last night."
"For what reason?" I asked. Reyna was very attractive and she and Jason had been dating for five months.
"We both decided that we liked other people." Jason said I noticed he was looking over at Piper when he said that.
"Well I hope things work out for the two of you but I don't think Piper really wants to talk to you at the moment." I stated bluntly. I didn't want Piper back in the condition that she had been in for the past three months.
"I will get her to listen even if that means blasting a boombox with some cheesy love song while I sing my heart out for three hours." Jason muttered.
"I dare you to do that, and I want to videotape it." I chuckled.
"You're on, but this is because I want to talk to Piper not because you dared me to." Jason chuckled.
"How embarrassing would that be if you were standing at the wrong window? You better make sure that you have her window so you're not serenading her dad." I added quickly.
"That's true but I know which window is Piper's." Jason chuckled.
I noticed that Piper and Reyna were talking over by the CDs. That was something that you normally didn't see. They didn't exactly get along with one another.
"So we're so doing this tonight I'll supply the boombox you just need to supply the song or songs." I grinned.
"Got it…hey do you think Piper would want to go to prom with me?" he asked.
"Depending on how this goes it's worth asking her." I shrugged.
I noticed that Reyna kinda looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back wondering what was into her lately. She's been stopping by the shop and talking to me for months now. I didn't mind it and I really did get to know her pretty well. There was no way that she was into me.
"Hey I think Reyna wants to talk to you." Jason nodded toward her.
She was walking over and Piper was standing there smiling slightly. Jason walked away leaving Reyna and I to talk amongst ourselves.
"Hey Leo." Reyna smiled.
"What's up Rey?" I asked her.
She smiled, "Nothing really."
I noticed that Jason was talking to Piper who smiled and nodded as if she was agreeing to something.
"So are you ready to go to Build-A-Bear?" I asked.
She nodded, "Will you help me make my bear?"
"Sure thing, we'll make you're bear look awesome." I nodded.
Build-A-Bear was pretty fun. Reyna ended up going with a simple curly teddy bear, that we put in carpenter's clothes. She named him Leo after the fact that I paid for it. It was a fun day and then I had to drop Reyna off at home, Jason made sure that Piper had a ride.
"Thanks for today and thanks for the bear, it was a lot of fun." Reyna smiled.
"No problem I had a lot of fun myself." I smiled.
Reyna kissed my cheek and then she said goodnight. This was going to be pretty ok.
