The Day The Storm Moved On (AU)

Piper VI

   Here I go, I take a deep breath and try to lose myself in the class as Mr. Smith talks in his calming voice about our new weekly assignment. I zone in on the tail end of his speech, "-and the assignment will be on Jason." My mind halters as I watch him write the topic on the board along with tips of how to capture the topic easily. I stare blankly at the board as he writes Lost love  in his mixture of print and cursive handwriting, underneath he writes blue, grey, and red. Those may be the usual colors, but mine are blue, blond, and white.

   It's a good thing I sat in the back of the class so I could hide the headphones I'm wearing and the tears that ran down my face as I listen to the playlist Jason made for me. See, most boyfriends make a playlist with songs that explain their love for their girlfriend; but Jason, Jason he sung every song. He learned every song on guitar and sang them then gave me access to the playlist and even set it up to when he added a song I got a notification. Some of the songs were also his own, and it broke my heart hearing how much emotion he put behind every song, no, every lyric. 

   In the middle of my cry session I hear the door slam open and in flies Jason. He gets up and fixes himself looking around the class with a what the fuck look on his face. He spots the window at the back of the classroom and begins sprinting straight for it. No one stops him but Percy and Leo do bust through the door clambering over each other trying to get to Jason. The world fades away as he makes eye contact with me as he passes by and I can see the hurt flash in his eyes but he breaks the stare and dolphin dives out the window. I can almost hear the "Yeet!" that he probably would've said if things were different. Percy and Leo follow suit only taking a second to stop and say hey before going after a pointless chase. 

   I get looks from people around the classroom, I hide my face with my hair trying to mask the tears and most definitely the mascara running down my face. I turn back to my drawing and I finally realize that I had been drawing Jason with his black guitar, hair flopped over with a goofy look on his face. I let out a choked cry as the memories flood through. Unwanted, hot, angry tears pour down. I cover my mouth as I try to calm my rattling breath. 

   I can't even text Annabeth for help since she has my phone. My brain screams at me, too many conflicting thoughts are going on at once and I can't help but wish for my head to explode. A familiar voice breaks me from my mental break down, "Hey, you okay baby girl? Frank said you needed to see me." I look up and through my tear soaked eyes I can barely make out Chases facial features. I jump up and hug him, his cologne invades my nose and the shirt he's wearing soaks up my tears. He holds me in silence, Mr. Smith doesn't have a sixth period so he sat at his desk on the other end of the classroom going through what I would assume were emails. After a few minutes in silence accompanied only by the noise of the keyboard, making both of us late to our next class, I finally calmed down.  

   "Take me." He tenses up and looks down at me with the same surprised look that I'm internally giving myself. He opens his mouth and tries to say something but I put a finger over his mouth trying to silence him. 

   "Pipes, you're in a really ba-" I kiss him. "Piper I-" I kiss him again and again and again. He finally gets that he's not making me back down. I can feel my heart hammering as he looked down into my eyes jaw clenched trying to find out what my end goal is, and to be honest I don't know what it is either. It's as if my demon muted the angel in me. His eyes finally soften and he sighs, "Alright fine, let's go." My heart jumps into my throat and adrenaline runs through my veins as I follow him out of the class and to his car. 

   My brain isn't caring if it happens in a car or in a house, I need a distraction and right now and I just, I need to do this. We get into his car and he pauses before putting the keys in, "Look, we don't have to do this I know you're not in the right head spa-" 

   "I know what I'm doing."

   "But Annabeth said-"

   I jumped on his lap and kissed him deeply having an iron grip on his shirt. His hands hesitantly went to my hips and slowly he relaxed into it. After a while we broke it off to get some air. "You want to do it here or..."

   "Let's go to my place, no one's home." Well, no one who cared anyway. He quickly nods his head and swallows. He starts the car and I get off his lap. While putting on my seat belt I notice a familiar car pull out and drive out of the parking lot. I couldn't put my finger on who it was, but my brain didn't dwell on it too long all it could think about was what was waiting for me back home.

   So finally updated, quick question would y'all want a longer version of this to be released?
