(Percy's POV)
She was going to leave. I had to stop her. So I did the one thing I could think of. I kissed her. I grabbed her face in my hands and kissed her. I love her so much, I can't lose her. At first nothing happened. Then she started kissing me back. When we broke apart I looked at her and said, " Promise me that you'll never try that again?" She looked down at her hands then looked at me and said," As long as I have you, What reason would I have to?" We stood up and, hand in hand, walked out of the school parking lot.
TIME SKIP!!!!!!!!!
(Piper's POV)
We walked off the school property and went to his apartment. We climbed in through the window and he locked his bedroom door. We sat on his floor and started talking.
"So can you tell me about your mom?" Percy asked.
"Yeah. My mom was the best person in the world. She was kind,and she was always ready to volunteer for a charity or something. She loved me and my dad. My dad was so much happier when she was around. We would all laugh and on Fridays we went out to eat at this place called Marguarita King. Things were perfect for us. Then, one day, I was walking home from school and decided to take a short cut through the park."
"I remember walking past this boy scout lodge when a bag was thrown over my face and my hands and feet were tied up. I was pulled into a trunk and taken to a remote place. They pulled me out and took me to a room that had a king sized bed in it and a dresser. I remember thinking it was weird because the one guy kept calling me by my name. He would say,'Oh Piper, baby girl, you are going to be with your new daddy for a while and boy, we are going to have lots of fun.' That night, I was sleeping on the floor, when he came in and tied me to the bed. I woke up with my wrists bound above my head and my ankles tied to the bed post. I started to cry because I knew what was going to happen to me. When it did, I prayed that this was all just a horrible nightmare. But it wasn't." I broke down crying and Percy pulled me into his arms and held me. For the first time since my mom died, felt safe. I was about to pull away when he looked down at me and said, " Piper McClean, I, Perceus Jackson, swear that this will never happen to you again. I swear to protect you for as long as I live."
I looked at him and I new that I could finally say what I had been wanting to say for so long. "Percy Jackson, I love you." With those words said, I kissed him.
