Leo POV

I swear to all the gods in the world that I didn't mean it. At all.

I never kissed back.

I never had any feeling towards her.

I've never even met the chick!

As soon as Calypso started to talk to that Riley dude, I knew it was out of spite for me. She knew I was watching. But then again, I deserve it.

When Annabeth told me that Calypso was getting a ride back to the hotel with Riley, my suspicions raised. She had to be safe. She HAS to be safe. I would practtically kill myself if anything happened to her. I know I broke her fragile heart.

"So, you wanna drive, Leo?"Asks Percy, chucking me the keys. I catch them with one hand, still thinking about Calypso.

I see her with Riley in a car, speaking briefly. I can see her stifen in discomfort. I think everyone did.

"Leo, follow their car." Jason says, eyeing the black car they're in.

"Already on it." I say, climbing into the driver's seat. I begin to drive off, not caring if everyone's seatbelts aren't on. Calypso has to be safe. She has to be.

They turn a sharp corner, and I lose sight of them.

"Fudge! Where are they?" I shriek, looking around the windows to see if I can see anything.

"Down there!" Piper says, pointing into an alleyway.

I hear a shrill cry. "Help!" Calypso screams, "Someone!"

I completely ditch the moving vehicle, my heart racing a thousand miles a minute, and sprinto into the alley.

"Calypso!" I shout, seeing her backed up against a cold brick wall in the shadows. Riley turns to face me, grinning evilly.

"This the boyfriend, Miss Calypso? He the one that drove you to me?" He says, kneeling down to look her in the eye. Calypso has a panicked look in her eye. She was terrified.

I felt angry. It started in my chest, and I couldn't control it.

Next thing I know, I'm shooting punches at Riley like nobodies business. Granted they're weak but he's distracted.

Calypso makes a break for it, and runs into the rest of the group. Annabeth engulfs her into a hug, with Piper while everyone else keeps advancing. I could hear her crying from over here.

While I was distracted, Riley flips our positions and suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in the side eof my face. Over and over.

"Leo!" Someone shouts. Footsteps.

I squeeze my eyes shut.

"You think you're strong enough to hurt me?" Riley taunts, throwing another punch. This time to the side of my ribcage. I release a strangeled cry of pain, before the huge weight lifts off me.

"Holy crap." Jason says, helping me sit up. I try and look where Riley is, but Jason doesn't let me. "You're all beaten and bruised."

"No shiz sherlock. " I groan, leaning on him as I try and get up. The pain shoots through mmy ribcage and arm. I think I might have broken something.

My almost-forced-close eyes run over Annabeth and Piper. Calypso's still hugging them, however her eyes are on me. Her face is dirty and streaked with tears. Her hands are shakey and frankly, I can see her ragged breathing.

"L-leo." She says, running to me and crushing me in a hug, which I return.

"Thank the gods, you're safe now." I say into her hair, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't-"

"I know." Calypso says, shushing me, "I know."

"So, you're sure that you're okay?" I ask Calypso, kissing her forehead and tucking in the sheets around her.

When we told Sally what happened, she sat us all down and gave us a long talk about getting into cars without another band member there, hitting people, andself defense. She even told us to break someone's foot if we can.

"Yes, Leo." Calypso says, "Just like the other thousand times you asked."

"Yeah, well, since the other time's I've asked you might have thought differently and not have been fine so..." I quirk an eyebrow at her, making her smile.

"You're eye..." She trails off, tracing the bruise on my eye delicately with her finger. It tickled.

"It'll heal." I insist, grabbing her wrist gently and laying her arm over the covers. "G'night Caly. I love you."

"Night Leo." She says as I begin to make my exit, "Love you too."

"The next round of boot camp will be a sing off." Hermes says, getting straight to the point, knowing we were all tired and grumpy, "Also, some of you mmay have noticed that we are missing a band. The group 'Electrical Emblem' were disqualified due to sexual harassmant of another competitor." There were a few gasps and Calypso gripped my hand tighter. I heard her suck in a breath, "The victim is fine now, don't worry." Hermes sends a glance at Calypso quickly.

"Anyways, as I was saying you will be judged. We need bands that know lots of different genres of songs. We don't care if you're the drummer and you're crap at singing. If you know the song, sing along. First ten groups to miss five songs are eliminated." Hermes says, strolling across the stage, "So get listening and you're all dismissed. You can go back to school now."

Like we reallly are going to do that. There's only one more period left in the day. We might as well skip.

"I know that face, Leo. We are not skipping." Annabeth says sternly. My happy expression drops. "And plus, there's three more periods left."

Well, that explains why I'm always late to class. Because I don't know when they start.

"Oh well..." I shrug, "It'll be fun?"

"No, Leo." Calypso says, tugging on my hand, "We have to go to class. They can only say that we're at Battle of Bands for so long."

School was boring. We should have ditched. Then again, four people would have my head. Sally, Annabeth, Mum and Calypso.

"Why did we have to go again?" I ask, flopping into the car.

"Because we have to learn stuff." Percy says, getting into the front, "Even if I agree with you on that."

"But, it might be helpful when we're older." Annabeth points out, as she twists the key, "The others said that they wanted to walk."

Percy, Annabeth, Calypso, Luke, Thalia and I were in the car. So that means Paisley, Nico, Jason and Piper are walking. Well, at least its four of them together.

Percy immediately takes out his phone and begins texting.

"Who're you texting, Percy?" Luke asks, leaning forwards to see.

"Paisley." Percy says, "Just making sure she isn't dead."

"You have little to no faith in your sister's self defence skills, do you?" Annabeth scolds, "She kicked your sorry ass when you tried tickling her. You barely even touched her and all of a sudden you're screaming 'Man down!."

I giggle at the memory. Man, where is my masculinity?

"Um, it was even there in the first place?" Thalia says, mocking shock.

"Did I say that out loud?" I ask, taken back. What?

"Yes." Calypso says, "And he's plenty manly." She defends. That's my girl, defending my masculine pride. "Even if I can beat him in an arm wrestling match."

"Liar liar pants on fire!" I say, poking my tongue out at her and trying to gain back my bold name. "I don't remember." Uh, yes I do. She beat me alright.

Calypso raises am amused eyebrow.

"Fine. Arm wrestling match right now." She says, leaning into the middle seat with her elbow in the center. I match her position and grip her hand. It was sligtly rough, because she'd worked outside for her parents for many years.

"You're going down, Titan." I say. Haha! She shall never beat me.

"Three, two, one, GO!" Calypso shouts, and pushes down on my hand. I begin to push back.

Calypso won, and I lost what little masculinity I had left.

A/N

Woo! Caly is safe! Everyone is happy! Caleo is okay too!

Yay!

My mum signed me up for a 2km run. I don't know why I agreed... Wish me luck for tomorrow then!

I've been so sad the last few days... I don't know why...
