Jason and Piper: Half-Blood Academy

Piper-21

Hey guys! I'm adding a bit of something new to the story. Hope you like it!

I woke up to the loud ringing of my alarm clock. Both Annabeth and I startled awake. Today's going to be a football game. My clock read 2:00 A.M. The annoying alarm clock seemed so loud, Annabeth punched it from her bed. My eyes start to close slowly but I open them again and force myself get up. Annabeth and I brush our teeth, dress, and head outside. A lot of the other girls in the hallway are primping themselves for whatever reason.

I yawn. A big yawn.

"What time did you sleep, Piper?" Annabeth asked.

"At one A.M."

"You really need to get more sleep. That only gives you one hour of sleep for today."

"Wow Annabeth, I had no idea."

Annabeth smacks my arm lightly," I'm serious," she says, "And your attempts of sarcasm have been wasted."

I fake a gasp, "Really, I had no idea."

We both laugh.

I suddenly become serious.

Annabeth gives me a worried glance, "Piper? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I just...I feel like something strange's in the air. Like something's going to happen."

"Don't worry Piper, the worst that could happen is if we lose. And its not like we've ever really lost a game."

"It pains me to say it but your probably right."

"Aren't I always," Annabeth says grinning.

I roll my eyes," Hardly."

We get to the old gym pretty fast, being caught up in conversation. Waiting by the door are Percy and Jason. Quick as lightning, Annabeth leaps into Percy's arms.

Jason walks over to me. He's in his football uniform, blonde hair tousled, and bright, warm icy eyes. He looks taller with his uniform. I want to kiss him right there and apparently I don't need to because he comes over and kisses me before I can say anything.

...................................................................................

I don't pay much attention to the football game. It feels so weird, I know that there's going to be something happening. I feel afraid. Really afraid for the first time in a long time. My gut tells me, my brain tells me but my heart doesn't seem to agree for some reason, like its afraid to. I can't seem to focus.

I suddenly hear a great, loud shout. I startle, and look around me. The crowd are all shouting and gasping in shock. I look down at the game.

There on the ground is Jason. Blood is oozing from his head.

Jason!

I hear a loud scream and I realize its me, screaming Jason's name. I get up and try to push through the crowd of students but I can't even get down from the bleachers. Annabeth's holding me back, trying to calm me down. And for some strange reason, she seems determined to keep me from seeing if Jason's too badly injured. That can only mean that he is injured. Badly. I start to panic and I feel tears on my cheek. I try to look back at Jason, but Annabeth's pulling me forward towards the old gym's door, holding my wrist firmly. I struggle but right now Annabeth is probably stronger.

We finally get out of the gym. I pull my wrist away from Annabeth and this time, she lets me. "Annabeth, what the hell was that? What...happened to Jason?" I was sobbing and gasping, not able to keep all the tears out.

Annabeth gave me a hug. I accepted it even though I didn't know what was going on anymore. Why would Annabeth get me out of the gym? Why wouldn't she let me go to Jason?

"Piper, calm down." Her soothing voice couldn't even calm me at a time like this.

"Why did you keep me from going to Jason?"

Annabeth looked extremely depressed, " Sometimes its better not to see it, Piper." She paused, " The injuries are too much sometimes. My friend, Luke, he...he got into an accident...and I didn't want you to see something like I did." Her eyes glistened with tears and I was also crying fresh tears.

My chin trembled, "I'm scared," I said in a squeaky, helpless voice.

"I'm sorry, Piper, but please, please, please, go back to the dorm room. Please." Annabeth looked like she was in the verge of tears. I don't want to leave Jason but I know that by trying to help him, I'm only going to make things worse for the helpers. But I want to be with Jason. Suddenly an image of his soft hair and bright eyes flashed through my mind.

I brushed off my tears, "Okay." I looked down on the grassy ground and walked to the dorm building slowly.

Slowly, as if I walked any faster I'd break into a thousand pieces.

I felt like I was going to break.

Into a thousand pieces that would never be put back together.

A lot of things seem to be happening to Jason, huh? Well, their's going to be something strangely new happening to Jason. That's all I'm saying for now. It may be good or bad.
