Chapter 18 – Confused

HAZEL

Hazel wiped away the tears from laughing and tried to breath normally again. She looked at Leo with a very serious expression and said:

"Not a word about this to anyone, understood?"

Leo grinned, and Hazel felt her heart melt again.

"Yes, sir!" He joked.

Hazel didn't know if she wanted to punch him or kiss him again. The kiss had been wonderful, she had felt so happy to finally kiss the stupid boy, but she knew that she couldn't lie to Frank. And if she told him the truth, he was going to kill Leo and her.

"Um…" Leo looked nervous. Why was he so cute when he frowned like that?! "I'm sorry. It's okay if you just want to forget this, I mean-"

Hazel leaned forward and kissed him again. He was grinning when she pulled away, looking really happy. It made Hazel's heart flip.

"What are you going to say to Frank? I mean, he's obviously gonna kill me for kissing you."

But he didn't look too sad about that.

Hazel put her head in her hands. The panic and guilt washed over her.

"Oh, no. What have I done?! I just ruined a perfectly fine relationship and hurt my boyfriend…"

Well, not perfectly fine – she had feelings for Leo. But it wasn't a reason to break Frank's heart.

Suddenly, she felt Leo's arm around her.

"Hey, s'okay. I'm really sorry. I didn't-You don't feel anything for me, right? So… Just forget it. If you really can't lie, just say that I kissed you. Then you won't be killed by a bear or something…"

Hazel laughed a little. She looked at Leo, who was staring at his knees. Then it dawned on her what he said.

"Wait… Do you have feelings for me?" She asked him.

Leo looked ready to bolt, but managed to grin.

"Well, you're awesome. You're cute. You can find treasures underground. I mean, I understand why Frank like you."

Hazel suddenly felt like she was floating. She thought she kissed him, but if Leo liked her…

This was going too complicated.

"But… You don't, right? So we can just forget this." He said. He sounded kind of sad and uncertain.

Hazel couldn't open her mouth. Leo rose and gave her a little sad smile.

"I'll see you later, then. I'll go and tell the others that Percy and Annabeth aren't dead."

He left, and Hazel felt her heart sink.

"Hazel?"

Hazel was walking back and forth in her cabin when Piper came in.

"What's wrong, Hazel?" She asked. Hazel didn't answer.

"Hazel." Piper gripped her wrist. "Calm down and tell me what's wrong."

Slowly, Hazel met Piper's eyes.

"I've ruined everything."

Piper raised an eyebrow and sat down on her bead.

"Exactly what did you ruin?"

Hazel sat down next to Piper and put her head in her hands.

"I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong." Piper warned her.

Hazel sighed and started to tell her. Piper's eyes grew bigger and bigger for every word.

"So you actually feel something for Leo?"

"Well, I think so, but Frank-"

"Yes or no?"

"Yes." Hazel murmured.

"And Frank?"

"I still like Frank! He is my boyfriend! That's the problem; I can't decide who I like the best."

Piper shrugged.

"Best thing you can do is just to stay away from Leo and Frank right now. The one you miss the most… Well, that's the one you like the most."

Piper left, leaving Hazel even more confused than before.

I know that the chapter was short and really boring, but the next will come really soon!
