Piper's POV

It was early the next morning when I was able to talk to Jason. He was standing out by the canoe lake watching the sunrise. He didn't say anything when I walked up beside him.

"You know it's funny." He said a little while later. "The last memory I have of you, is this morning, or well it seems like this morning but it must have been 20 years ago. We made out in my cabin before breakfast. And now you're here, and you love someone else. And I have a new true love who isn't you."

Jason turned to me and I was shocked to see tears running down his face. 

"Jason I-"

"You don't have to explain." Jason said. "If I were in your shoes, I don't know what I would have done. I'm blaming myself. If I wasn't stupid enough to get caught by the Chicken Lord, then we could still be- you would still love me."

"I'm sorry." I whispered, tears filling my own eyes.

"No." said Jason, "You have nothing to apologize for. It's okay."

Without thinking, I reached out a hugged him tightly. Maybe this was my rite of passage.

"And I have Annabeth now."Jason said, clearing his throat as we separated. "Maybe she was supposed to be my true love all along."
