Enjoy the next chapter!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the PJO and HoO series... Rick Riordan does, so stop rubbing it in my face :(

(Piper's PoV will continue)

Maybe that was not the best idea Piper has ever had, but it had to be done. Though how to do it? She needed a plan and a good one at that so, Piper had dragged poor Hazel down to her cabin, so she could help Piper make a plan. After Piper had told her the story, she had seemed very troubled,"Piper are you sure?"

"Yes, I am Hazel."

"Well I have an idea of what you can do."

"Oh, please share!" Piper said sarcastically.

"Well..."

Piper had asked Jason to meet her on the deck that night, while Hazel and the others did... well Piper didn't exactly know what.

Ok, Piper you can do this.

She told herself as she walked out her door.

As she neared the edge of the ship she saw him standing by the railings, looking at the ocean so far below them.

"Hey." She announced herself.

"Hey." He turned around and smiled.

She walked until she was standing next to him.

"So what did you want to talk about?" He asked her.

Come on Piper! You can do this you know you can! Just suck it up and tell him!

"Pipes is something wrong? Are you feeling well because-"

"Do you love me?" She asked looking at him straight in the eyes.

"What? Of course I do!" He said, looking at her like she had completely lost her mind.

"No, really Jason. Have you ever really loved me, just be honest."

For a while he just looked at her, not saying a thing,"I did, but not as much now. More like a friend." He said looking sad at the words that escaped his mouth. Then she did the unexpected, she hugged him saying,"I know you really love her, more than you ever really loved me. I'm a daughter of Love. I can tell these things, but I'll always love you, like my best friend or my brother." He pulled away from her, his eyes showed understanding, he seemed at a loss for words.

"You don't have to say anything. Just go." She said smiling at him. He returned it with one of his own and a tight hug. "Thanks Pipes. I don't know what I would've done without you, but will you be okay?" He asked.

"Yes, Jason. Don't be silly! Now go join the others. I still have some things to do." Piper said punching him gently on the arm.

"If you're sure. Night Pipes. See you in the morning."He walked away and when he vanished down the stairs she sat on the ground, letting Jason go left her with mixed feelings. She was sad, relieved, heartbroken and happy. She wasn't sure if she should cry, scream, dance or swear. So she just sat there, staring at the stars and doubting her mental health.

"I can't believe you just did that." Piper looked up and saw Leo casually leaning against a mast, looking at her in disbelief.

"He was never mine to keep."

"You don't sound sure." He said sitting down next to her.

"I am."

"Sure you are, why'd you do it... really?"

She didn't say anything, just looked ahead of her.

"You can tell me you know."

She was silent for a while and then said,"I was doing something good for once, but it only left me more confused than ever."

"That's bad."

"No shit."

"Sorry."

"If it upsets you that much, why'd you do it." He asked her, looking genuinely concerned.

"I have honestly no idea." She said shaking her head wearily.

"Well then, I have only one answer for you." Leo said, a grin spreading on his face.

"You, my friend, are royally screwed."

"Leo!" She said smacking him on the arm.

"Ow, that hurt." He said faking a wounded voice.

"Then I'm glad." She said glaring at him.

"Hey, look! A shooting star!" He said pointing above them where a streak of white crossed the night sky. The sight of it brought back the memory of her last night at the Wilderness school, when Leo had kissed her. She wondered if he could remember it. She wondered if he still felt like that. She wondered if they'd ever be like that. She wondered if what happened that night would happen again.

"Make a wish." She said, like she did last time.

"Let's both?" He said again.

"Ok." She said, breaking tradition, she was scared of what could happen. He seemed to notice the change, his eyes grew sadder in the moonlight and then he closed them.

"I wish you remembered." Leo whispered and stood up."Night Beauty Queen."

She couldn't say anything. Not even something as simple as goodnight, which made her feel worse. He would now never look at her again twice. Piper watched with a broken heart as Leo walked away, she wanted to shout at him that she remembered and thought that he didn't. Never in all her life would she had thought that something like this would happen, from another boy, maybe. But from Leo? Looks like happy endings were too much to ask for. Look at poor Percy and Annabeth, they were in the depths of Tartarus, but they were together which was all that actually counted. She would make it her personal duty to make sure they got out of there and had a happy life together no matter what. Screw her love life, screw their enemies, if it would take her life to help those two... well that was a price she was willing to pay. They deserved it more than her and she could wait. Annabeth and Percy were her first priorities.

Aww sorry for the short chapter, I was a little busy being sick

. An anon reviewer mentioned the Jeyna ship I promised, but now it looks like Jalypso. Well, the summary had no lies. But me trying to be Rick, will not spoil anyhting, so you'll have to wait and see ;)
