THE FAMOUS DISCLAIMER: ALL ( heart wrenching ) CHARACTERS AND PLOT LINES AND BOOKS BELONG TO UNCLE RItCK.


This was it. They were going back to California today, after 7 great months. They made peace, won a war, got some dates, had some heartbreaks, and had the overall normal teenage experience. Or, as normal as it can get with some of the most powerful demigods in the world. Jason was going back to visit, Hazel and Frank to get their stuff. After everyone said goodbye to Octavian (who wasn't as much as an ass as he appeared to be, he was actually pretty cool) and almost everyone to Reyna, it was Leo's turn.

"Valdez," Reyna said. "I um... I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too, Reyna." Leo replied.

"It- it was fun, the last couple of months."

"Y-yeah, it totally was."

"Mmm. Although it included some pretty cheesy pick-up lines." Leo blushed, but he managed a weak laugh.

"I- um Reyna-" Leo was interrupted by the announcer saying that the Roman's flight back to California was leaving in two minutes.

"There's something I have to tell you!" They blurted at the exact same time.

"Reyna! We have to leave, now. We're down to 45 seconds!" Jason told her.

"I- oh, okay." She quickly hugged Leo and ran off.

It was only then that Leo realized both of them had tears streaming down their faces the entire time.

"It's okay, bro." Travis Stoll came up behind Leo and patted him on the back. "I- I know how it feels." A week ago, Katie Gardener, Travis' well-known crush, had gone off to Arizona for three months to visit her cousin. Neither of them had told each other how they felt, even though it was obvious they were in love. "She'll come back, promise. Mine will. Yours will." Leo thought that what Travis just said was the deepest thing he'd ever said.

They stood there for a bit, then headed back to Camp.

(A/N: this song will switch POVs."

I guess you're in New York today he is, and he'll never be here, ever again.

But I don't want to miss you this way It was silly, almost. They never even dated and he missed her like she was his dead wife. Come back Reyna, please, just come back.

Be here Please? Come here with me.

Cause it's not fair that you're not around Everyone else had their partner, and Leo, he was alone.

I don't want to need you this way Reyna was always a single, independent woman. Then Leo came around, and she lost herself.

Come back Please?

Be here. Please.


yes that was short, okay? The song (come back...be here by taylor swift) was being skipped around allot, but it had to be done.
