JASON WAS FEELING RATHER DEPRESSED. Here he was, trying to get answers out of a somber, crying Leo. And let me tell you, that is not easy. 

Leo had his back turned, and every time Jason put a hand on his shoulder, he would shrug it off. Jason kept trying to get him to talk, but the only thing he would say was a strong, "No."

Jason sat there, thinking. He remembered when he had first found him like this, just this morning.

~~~~Flashback starts~~~~

Jason walked down the stairs, a half-eaten bagel from breakfast in one hand. When he reached Leo's door, he stopped and lifted his hand up to the door.

Knock. "Leo?"

Nothing.

Knock, Knock. "Hey, Repair boy. Ya in there?"

Again, no response.

Knock, Knock. "Leo?"

Jason was getting rather worried now. He turned the knob, only to find it locked.

Knock Knock KNOCK. "Leo, let me in!"

With that, Jason stood back and gazed at the door. He counted, 1........2....

BAM! He threw his whole weight on the door, to no avail. Man, why did Leo build these doors so strong?

Oh yeah. So they wouldn't get murdered in their sleep.

Definitely important.

Sighing, Jason moved over to the lock. He closed his eyes and put his hand on the metal. Gathering a tiny ball of condensed air, he shoved it into the lock. It moved gears, shifting them around into the right combination.

Click! The door swung open, revealing a mini workshop. It was a blacksmith's dream: Metal walls  were filled with all types of power tools, and a furnace spewed sparks in the back. A large oak worktable, covered in wrenches, metal scraps, and coffee cups was pushed to the left wall. Jason was standing there, taking this all in. Then he saw Leo, and his heart stopped.

 Leo was slumped on the floor, passed out. Shattered glass was strewn around him, and his hands were covered in little nicks and cuts. Every once in a while he would twitch, murmuring things like, "No" and "Leave me alone"

It reminded Jason of those CSI crime shows, where the person walks into the room and finds the victim sprawled on the floor, dead.

He shook out of his daze and ran over to Leo, who now had his fists clenched. Tears ran down his face, and he kept sobbing, "Soy la madre lo siento....."(AN For those who are to lazy to look it up on google translate, it means, 'I am sorry mother' in Spanish)

Whatever that meant.

Jason was freaking out by now. It's probably Gaea messing with him, he thought.

Picking Leo up(Which was not hard, considering he was practically starving himself) and  walked out of the room.

"Piper! Get down here!" He yelled up the stairs. Soon, she came hurling down the stairs, and started to say "Wha--" She noticed Leo. Her face turned white.

"Oh my Gods! Get him to the infirmary! I'm gonna try to wake him up. He might be in a coma-like state."

Lying him down on the bed, Piper stood in front. She took a breath, and said forcefully, "Leo, wake up."

Nothing happened.

"Leo, wake UP!" His eyes  slowly opened, blinking back tears.

Jason knelled  by him and said, "Leo, talk to me. You can trust me." Amber eyes met blue ones.

"I...I can't tell you."

~~~Flashback ends~~~~

So here he was, watching helplessly as his best friend totally ignored him. Jason had forgotten how stubborn Leo could be.

What could he do, but sit here and watch?
