I dedicate this to ShutUpPercy because Hello by Adele describes platonic Jeyna so much I s2g

The lyrics will be in italics.

"Hello, it's me,"

Reyna ran into her barrack, slamming the door shut behind her. Tears started to form in her eyes as her back slide down the side of the door. The memories came back. All those times that they  snuck out to the woods to see each other. All those times that they spent hours talking and laughing, those memories were gone. Reyna choked back a sob as she try to calm herself down. Jason was with Piper now. Reyna couldn't change that.

"I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet, to go over everything. They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing,"

The praetor slowly stood back up, wiping the remaining tears from her cheek. "Don't cry, he's just a stupid boy. Don't waste your time over someone who waste yours. " She thought as she grabbed her jacket from off of the hanger it usually rest on. She quietly put it on, and opened the door to the barrack stepping out into the cool of the November air. She couldn't spend her whole life crying about the fantasy she dreamed of, this was the real world.

"Hello, can you hear me? I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be, when we were younger and free. I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet,"

Jason walked towards the Fields of Mars, with his imperial gold sword in his hands. Tears threaten to flood his vision. The nightmare still was clear  in his mind, not leaving his memory. He hoped that sword fighting would help distract his mind from the horror he experienced in that dream. He knew that he could always talk to Reyna.

"There's such a difference between us
and a million miles,"

Despite him losing his memory on the bus, he always seemed to remember one particular night. He remembered his 14 year old self sneaking out of the 5th cohort barrack at 1 am. He crept along in the darkness still wearing his embarrassing lighting bolt pajamas, until he was directly in front of the barrack that was the home of the only girl that he could talk to.
Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano.

Jason carefully moved to the side to the building spotting a window. He easily struck the lock with shock of electricity, making the latch open. The son of Jupiter quietly lifted the window making a gap big enough for him to slip it. His feet quietly landed on the cool tiles of the room, trying to not wake anyone up. Jason carefully tiptoed to Reyna's bunk. "Reyna." He whispered lightly. Jason knew that Reyna was a light sleeper. She quickly sat up looking slightly alarmed; like she was ready to fight at that moment. Her alarmed expression turned into anger. "J-Jason! What are you doing, it's like 2 am?!" She growled under her breath. Jason smirked.
"Well, technically it's 1 am."
Reyna rolled her dark chocolate eyes, smiling at Jason's comment. "What do you need?" She said sitting up, rubbing the sleep out her eyes. The rest of the memory was fuzzy in Jason's brain but he just always remembered that one night. He shook the memory out of his head as he approached the Field of Mars.

"Hello from the other side, I must've called a thousand times,"

Reyna continued to walk, the leaves crunching underneath her black combat boots. Her eyes still stung with tears. It wasn't that she wasn't over Jason because she needed a boy in her life, it was thought that Jason left and forgot her. He might have been her crush but Jason was her best friend too. He was the only person Reyna could trust and talk to. That was taken away from her; she lost her best friend. Her only best friend.

"To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done, but when I call you never seem to be home."

Reyna was almost to the bathhouse when she made the mistake of looking right. There he was, the Son of Jupiter slashing a dummy brutally with his shimmering yellow sword in the Fields. The praetor always felt like she gravitated towards Jason, she wanted to be near him whenever he was around. Reyna cursed under her breath. "Jason doesn't want you. You don't want him." She thought as she tried to forget about Jason. But she just couldn't. Temptation took over her as she slowly advanced the Fields.
"Hey Sparky." Reyna said chill-ly, crossing her arms over her chest. Jason turned around, his sky-blue eyes lighting up. "Hey Reyna! Haven't seen you in a while." He said pulling his sword out of the dummy's stomach. Reyna's heart started beating faster at the mention of them not meeting since the war against Gaea ended. She replaced that dread with a small smile so her emotions wouldn't be clear. "Yeah, you doing okay?" She said as calmly as she could. "I guess, I mean I've never been okay. But you don't sound that all okay." Jason regarded. Reyna's heart felt like it was beating out of her chest. She had forgotten that even though she and Jason hadn't seen each other, Jason still knew her fairly well. He isn't a stranger like Reyna wished he was to her. "Um, I'm fine just..thinking." She concluded.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Things." Reyna said sassily.

Jason smirked at how much of a attitude Reyna had devolved. He loved it. "What type of things?"

"Important things." She said placing a hand on her hip.

"Oh wow." Jason laughed. "Please Reyna! Can you please tell me? I mean I've always been here for you."

Reyna felt like her insides have been shattered. "I've always been here for you." stuck in her head. Anger ran through her veins, she tried to contain it but she couldn't any longer. She looked Jason straight in the eye, pain and anger stinging her heart.

"Oh really! You have? Because I don't remember any of that. All I remember is you forgetting about me! All I remember is pain and misery. You were my best friend, Jason!"

The words hung in the air with complete silence...
