Did you like my sorta-filler chapter. I wanted to do it in a different POV, I was a little bit unused to doing it that way. But I want to ask you a question. Have you ever been friends with a boy for a long time, but he is so irritating. No offence to the guy readers. I have a sorta-friend like that and he was SO FRIGGING ANNOYING! He was pestering me every five seconds at a field trip to Medieval Times. Maybe because the show was too predictable. But I was so pissed with him by the end of the show. ~):( OK, rant over. Chapter 12. :P

Damn, what am I doing here? Why is Piper here? I thought I was at camp.

Then was when I realized that I was in Piper's bedroom. I remembered the night before. I just woke up out of a sound sleep. I was on the floor and Piper was on the bed. I remember putting her on the bed, and sleeping on the ground. I looked at her. Gods, she was beautiful. Wait... Oh my freaking gods, I slept with Piper. Not like I was naked in her bed with her, that would just be plain akward, but still. When will my death sentence come? Never mind, I was still alive, so I won't die, unless Aphrodite changed her mind, then I was trouble.

She still cluching the flowers like they were her life sorce. Her hair was in her face, and it was blowing the way, because of the open window. She was smiling, and the sun lit up her dark skin. Then I noticed the door was opened a crack. Panic crashed though my veins. Someone saw us. I was positive it was locked before I went to sleep. Maybe a random god unlocked it, maybe Aphrodite, this is something she would do.

I got up and closed and locked the door. Almost instantly, I checked it again, and it was unlocked. Stupid lock, why won't you close? Why do the stinking gods love to mess with me? I gave up,and walked back to the bed. I sat on the bed and held Piper's hand. Holy Hades, I so want to kiss her right now. She would not notice, because she was asleep anyway. She just looked perfect.

Don't kiss her, you elf. She still has to get over Jason.

Actully you are now a little taller than Piper; something called a growing. But Aphrodite said that she loves you.

Never mind what I said before. Just DON"T KISS HER!

I was tempted. I remember that one time was that my mom baked some cookies, and she told me to wait, for them to cool. It was sort of like that.

"You will burn youself if you touch the pan. Wait, good things will come."

"You mean that the cookies will still be just as warm, and I won't get hurt?"

"Yes, but patience is a good skill to have. Wait."

"Why is there waiting?"

"Because the world would be rushed and things would not work right. Like if you build a toy car quickly, it will go backwards if you want it to go forwards. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mommy."

I did not listen anyway. I was too hungry. I knew that they were hot, but I knew what heat was a friend to me, even back then. But I still learned from the cookies. Patience is always good. Even if it is hard for an ADHD kid like me. But this was much stronger than the cookies. It was an urge. It was natural. It was hard to defeat. I wanted it more than a crate of cookies. I will wait. Good things will come.

Then Piper stirred. If I had kissed her, then I would of been caught. She opened her eyes sleeply. They were a dark indigo, with small light blue flecs, more like dots, but a lot of them. They were intriguing. Mysterious, hard to understand, like a starry sky in the country. She got up and stood up, and smiled at me.

"Good morning. When did you get up?" She asked while yawning and streching her arms.

"A few minutes ago, why?"

"Just asking. I thought this was all a dream."

Me too, Piper. Me too.

"I am glad you are here. I really missed you." She said quietly, after a while of akward silence. Her eyes were getting foggier. Like the Milky Way came into view from a telescope. I put my hands on her waist. She put her hands on my neck. Our lips were about an inch apart. But I knew I could not kiss her. She was still recovering. I was still recovering. Not yet. She seemed to understand. She put her head in the crook of my neck, and let her tears flow. So did I. The world seemed to spin when she was in my arms. I was glad she is here with me, at this moment of peace, where we can let go of the past.

She looked up at me. Her eyes were still the starry night with the Milky Way, but it was more pink in the Milky Way and lighter blues near the edges. But the whites of her eyes were tinged with red, and my black shirt was wet.

"Why do I feel so weak?" She asked me.

"Because there is someone to accept it. Me."

"The only one."

"What do you mean?"

"I...want you to make a promise."

"Anything."

"Never leave me. Not like Jason did. I want you to promise me that."

"I would never leave you, ever. I..." The words stuck in my mouth. How will I tell her that I loved her without getting punched in the nose?

"I, what?"

"Never mind." Better safe then sorry.

Then we talked about everything, for many hours. But not the past. Not the present either. They were too depressing. And who knows what could happen the future.

So we talked about the random stuff. Anything we barely knew. Movies, games, jokes, stupidity. Things that are happy. I was grinning. Her eyes were blue and green, like a meadow under a blue sky. Our signature signs of happiness. I realized that I loved to hear her talk, the confidence in her voice settled me. But Piper eyes showed concern as the hours passed. They were turning black, they did that whenever she had unsettled ideas.

"Why are you worried?" I asked, after a while. Her eyes looked way too depressing.

"I'm not worried." She said in a monotone voice, while looking away from me.

"I can't read your mind, but I can read your eyes. I know you too well. Tell me."

"What will my dad think of you being here? I think he saw us. We both realized that the door in unlocked."

"Why don't you go ask him?"

"But I don't want to. I don't want to see him. He ignored and pushed me away my whole life and now he wants me, when I want to be alone."

"Do it for us, Piper. Do it for us."

Her eyes softened. She got up and went into the huge closet she had. She was wearing her Camp Half-Blood shirt and some shorts. She then opened the door. But she stopped. She turned around and grabbed my wrist.

"You have to help me. Please." She said urgently. I hoped she was not charm-speaking me, but I knew that she needed me. So I let her tug me into whatever trouble awaits us.

Not my best chapter, but there will be MAJOR drama in the next chapter to make up for it. MUAHHHHHHH! But I put up a poll on my profile, I want to see if anyone wants me to do a really stupid Hunger Games one-shot, involving cupcakes. I mentioned it last chapter. And can someone get me some suger cubes. I need it in my Gurdyroot Infusion. And I feed it to my pegasus, Sagittarius. I just ran out, and I'm broke. Never mind. But REVIEW. Vote on my poll. See ya, peeps.
