The Day The Storm Moved On (AU)

Jason I

I used to be happy. I used to smile all the time. Now I'm an empty pit of sadness. She was my world, my all.

But I guess I deserve it. For not being romantic enough. Yet it was wrong for what she did, I tried my best and she turned her back. Heres what happened.

*two months ago*

I was walking through school, heart in my hand. No joke, today was valentine's and to make up for my non romantic ways, I got her a 5 foot teddy bear and a huge box of chocolates with a card. I also made reservations for two at a 5 star restaurant for later that night.

When I rounded the corner (with girls following closely behind), I saw something heart shattering. She was up against the locker with my best friend, Chase. I stopped dead in my tracks, the girls stopped shortly after me seeing the scene.

Right when I was about to say her name, they kissed. Right in front of me. I dropped the bear and chocolates and walked away. I heard her call my name. I then heard fast paced feet hit the ground. I started running, being the captain of the highschool varsity track team it wasn't hard for me to start from a cold start.

I ran until I bust out of the school doors, I heard her call my name multiple times, but I ignored it. My cell phone went off. I didn't stop running to answer it. I let it ring until it went to voice mail.

Thirty minutes and fifteen miles later I finally collapsed. It hurt, I couldn't take it. Betrayed by the one I love, and the one I trusted most. They stabbed me in my back.

I ripped open my shirt and grabbed my chest crying, in rage and despair. About ten minutes later Percy, Frank, and Leo came and picked me up. I sat in the back of the car, silent tears running down my face.

I went through the school day like a brain dead zombie. Apparently news travels quickly around here. A few girls who were following me this morning brought me the bear and candy. I started to tear up and I had to run away to avoid anyone seeing me.

I didn't talk for the entire day. I listened to music in the middle of all my classes. When English came around as the last class of the day the teacher asked us to write about our valentine's day so far.

Everyone glanced at me nervously as I wrote, and wrote and wrote. The teacher asked me to come up and read it, apparently he didn't get the memo.

"My valentine's was amazing. I cleaned up, bought new clothes and a new tux. I spent over $500 on it. Made from the finest tailors from Italy. I got a $50 box of chocolates from the finest chocolate place in Germany. I spent $200 dollars on a bear that was of highest quality and 5 feet tall."

"I made reservations at a 5 star restaurant for two. That was $300 on its own. I spent a total of $1050."

The whole class looked at Chase and Piper as they hid in the back of the room. "I came to school with a parade of girls behind me asking if the stuff was for them. My sister told them that I was taken. But the girls still followed but didn't say anything."

Some of the girls were glaring at Piper and the guys glaring at Chase. I continued despite the tension in the room. "I went to her locker only to find her with my best friend. I was about to ask what's going on until they kissed. I ran fifteen miles away where I cried my heart out. Percy, Frank, and Leo picked me up and got me a new shirt since I tore mine up. So all in all, my valentine's was good until that happened."

Now everyone surrounded them. The teacher had a single tear go down his eye. I watched as Chase protected Piper from everyone.

As soon as the bell rung everyone was out the door. Yet not as fast as me. I sprinted out the door and down the hallways until I reached outside. I slowed down and walked to my car. I sat in there waiting for Thalia to get in.

She was covered in roses and had a big box full of chocolate and a basket of cards. The minute she stepped in the passenger seat she hugged me. I cried on her shoulder as she patted my back and whispered "It's going to be ok, it's ok Jason."
