A/n: Haha traveling sucks! :D God I hate riding in the car but its the perfect time to write. Oh yeah and since schools starting again soon I'm going to be updating, but not regularly... It'll probably be as scattered at it has been... Just a warning. ;) Shall we continue...
Annabeth POV
After Piper changed I into a blue sports bra and a pair of spandex, she gave Jason a quick kiss on the cheek and we headed to the door. We were almost out until I heard Percy call, "What? I don't get one?" I turned around and came up close like I was gonna kiss his cheek but then bit his ear. A bit hard I might add.
"Owwww," Percy cried, holding his ear and glaring at me. I just gave him an innocent smile and a wink and sauntered out the door, making sure to swing my hips as I walked.
Piper and I began running down the beach in silence until she broke it saying, "So I wanted to wait until we were alone to ask about it, but last night I got up from bed to get a drink of water and your door was open. I went in to see if you were still awake but you weren't in your bed, it was still perfectly made like it was when we got here. Care to explain?"
I blushed and sped up a bit, increasing our pace. "Well yesterday apparently Percy modeled his balcony with twinkling lights and a picnic to make up for being jerkish to me." I smiled at the memory, "It was gorgeous. We were eating and talking but then it started to get cold so we sort of snuggled together for warmth." I blushed again. "We were stargazing and not only was I pointing out constellations, he was too. It was like one of those perfect moments in a romance movie. We talked about our hopes and dreams and I sat comfortably in his arms," I said relishing in the memory. "I don't remember much after that so I must have fallen asleep on the balcony and I guess he didn't feel like moving me because I woke up leaning against the wall."
I purposely left out the kissing part because I knew Piper would start fangirling and telling me that we'd be a 'super cute couple'. She just laughed, "Looks like you hate him less now, but I mean you did bite his ear so..." We laughed again. We completed our run just talking about random stuff and old memories.
We walked up the porch and into the kitchen where Percy and Jason scuffled around with pots and pans set up, cooking multiple things at once. They didn't even have to talk, one would rotate this pan or put salt on that pan or flip a pancake and they would just rotate in their own little world. I looked to Piper to see that she was just as impressed as I was. These boys really knew their way around a kitchen.
Jason POV
After Pipes and Annabeth left to go on their run, Percy and I decided that being the nice guests we were, we should make the girls breakfast. We ran around grabbing ingredients for pancakes, scrambled eggs, French toast, sausages, and bacon. Percy's mom taught him and I to cook at a young age.
My dad walked out on my mom, sister, and I when I was two and as soon as he left my mom became a raging alcoholic. She beat my sister and the only reason I didn't get hurt was because Thalia locked me in my bedroom when my mom was awake. She slipped me meals and talked to me and played with me. She was my world. Thalia was only a year older then me but somehow thought it was her responsibility to protect me from the danger in the world. I loved her with all my heart but as soon as she went to school her first day, people had questions about her gashes and bruises. They soon took us away from our so called mother and put her in rehabilitation.
I found out later that she had died in a car crash not to long after we were put in the foster system. Thalia was soon separated from me and we sent letters back and forth for a while until she sent one saying she was running away and was gonna live on her own. She told me that she loved me and to always have hope. I never heard from her again.
I hated being a foster kid. Everyone looked down on me, I was always an outcast, and the select people I befriended I eventually had to leave behind. I even had a girlfriend once, Reyna. We dated for a year before I had to leave again and we broke up. I had lived in 17 different houses with 17 different families. Some tried to make me feel loved and at home, while some abused me and treated me as their slave. In my freshman year of highschool the family I had been living with for a year adopted me and I was happy. I stayed at one school and made friends. In tenth grade I met Percy. My new family was still working with the foster program and Percy came to our house.
We hadn't trusted each other at first because as both of us came from tough backgrounds and we had tough shells to crack. But after we shared our stories we became fast friends and my new family became his too. We eventually met the other guys and started our band. At battle of the bands during our senior year we got picked up by a record company and now here we are. Famous all over the world. I loved preforming and meeting fans but it was great to be away from it all.
Anyway, Percy and I had cooked for our band so many times we basically knew the routine like the backs of our hands. We worked best around each other because we could basically read each others minds. It might be creepy to some people, and at one point one of our band mates thought we were secretly soulmates (which would be extremely strange, the guy is like my brother) *a/n: not to hack on gay people cause I love y'all, but I really don't understand the fetish with putting Percy and Jason together, like even Perico has a basis to go off...* but that's just it. We're best friends, brothers, not a couple. It would be to weird. And I'm into girls, specifically Piper... She's really pretty...
Speaking of Piper, she and Annabeth had just returned from their run as the food was finishing cooking. I smiled at their amazed expressions and started plating food for them. I secretly loved coking and even considered being a chef if the music thing didn't work out. They smiled up at me as I passed them their plates and we all walked to the dining room table. We all immediately dug in.
"Wow guys, this is delicious!" Annabeth exclaimed. Percy smirked.
"While I'd love to take all the credit and here you beg me to cook for you, I have to admit that its all Jason's genius," Percy said nodding at me. I blushed and smiled at them all.
"Jason, that's amazing!" Piper said, "guess I don't have to cook then. I'm glad you can make more then macaroni and cheese," she said with a smirk and we all laughed.
'What a great morning', I thought.
