13, the unlucky chapter. I have a feeling this chapter will be bad.

Quick, go on youtube and search a user name birgirpall! Ah, he makes the most hilarious videos EVER.

Ignore the shortness of the chapter

Keep voting on my account for what 2nd story you want.

I just found out a quote by Winston Churchill- "If you're going through hell, keep going." I swear, it made me think of Percy and Annabeth so much when I read that.

Leo

Yeah, OK. Maybe Leo HAD lied to Frank. He was moving in on his girl. But Hazel was pretty, and didn't they break up?

Or did they?

It might've just been that Hazel did what she did impulsively after their first argument, and maybe wanted to go back to him? Leo had to admit, he was a little jealous of Frank.

Early in the morning, as the sun rose up, Leo headed to the kitchen. He set a taco (yum) in the oven and made himself 2 cups of coffee. Tacos from Camp Half Blood's magical kitchen plates were good, but nothing could match a freshly baked steaming one, the ingredients fresh. Within seconds, both mugs were empty and Leo was refilling them.

He sat there, eating his taco for a while, until Leo heard footsteps. It was Hazel. "Hi," Leo said. Start simple, right?

Hazel smiled nervously at him. "Hi, Leo." She grabbed a plate Leo had set for the rest of the demigods, poured herself some hot chocolate, and sat across from Leo. They ate in silence for a while. Leo didn't bring up the subject of you-know-what. It was clear she was waiting for the others.

Slowly, the other demigods trickled in- Jason, Nico, Piper, and finally, Frank. After a few moments of awkward silence, Leo cleared his throat. Hazel's hands tightened around her coffee mug, and a couple of diamonds sprung up around her plate. Nobody touched them.

Leo didn't know how to say it, so he just went straight out. "So, Hazel? Did you make your decision yet?"

He probably could have said something more subtle, but Leo wanted to get this over with. If she chose Frank, then she chose Frank, and that was all. If she chose Leo, all the better.

Hazel sighed dejectedly. Everyone on the table was watching her, except Nico, who was attacking a pizza. Hey, a man's gotta eat, right?

Leo strained to hear what Hazel whispered so quietly, Hazel herself probably couldn't hear it.

Frank said, "Um, that was just a tad hard to hear. Maybe raise you voice a little?" He looked unusually confident, as if Hazel had told him in secret she would chose him, and now he just wanted to show Leo up.

Hazel whispered something again, louder this time, but not enough that Leo could hear it. "Hazel, just say it and get it over with," Frank said.

"I don't want to do this anymore with you, Frank," she blurted out suddenly. Wow, Leo had thought she would think a little more. "I'm sorry, but I just don't feel as happy."

Hazel stared blankly at her plate. Leo didn't know what to do. "Um…. Uh….. ye-… yeah, ok….," he stuttered. Leo was truly a master with words.

Frank just the room, muttering something about selfishness.

"Uh, great, Hazel." Jason took Piper out of the room. Nico sighed and left as well, muttering about Mythomatic. Only Hazel and Leo were left.

She said, "Leo? Did I choose right?" She picked at her food.

Leo shrugged. "It was your choice. Whether you think it's right or not is your choice."

Then when she kissed him, Leo changed his mind.

Mostly a filler chapter. This story won't be much romance, because I don't know how to make romantic scenes. Tips on that are greatly appreaciated. The next chapter is Percy (finally), and then Annabeth. R & R!

Quote of the chapter- Whoever said "words don't hurt" never had a hard-backed dictionary hurled at their head.

Song of the chapter- Together We Will Live Forever from the soundtrack of "The Fountain" by Clint Mansell. Listen to this song, its beautiful!

Entertainment of the chapter- PLANETSIDE 2! Just downloaded off steam, and it. Is. Absolutely. Beautiful. Seriously. The graphics are awesome, the gameplay is engaging, the maps are HUGE, and the servers are MASSIVE (2000 players in one server!). It's for PC only, probably because consoles have limited hardware and bandwidth, and its pretty demanding, so those with an old PC, this isn't recommended for you. But check it out, this game is EPIC. Like a bigger version of Battlefield. You could literally bring hundreds of gunships and tanks and just bomb the shit out of the enemy team if you can get your team to cooperate.

Peace out and see you in next chapter (or author's note).
