Annabeth

Annabeth couldn't find Percy anywhere, she had searched the entire camp but found nothing. A thought had strucken her before about a monster attack but she had quickly shaked it off, no monsters could get into camp. It was impossible. 

Leo ran past her bumping into her, his face red from tears.

"Leo!" Annabeth called as she chased after him pinning him down to the ground.

Leo scowled at her. He squirmed trying to get free, though he knew it was useless.

"Percy & Calypso kissed," Leo said pushing her off. "I thought Calpso was the one."

Annabeth stood there stunned, she didn't dare open her mouth scared of a scream. She couldn't believe Percy lied, after all they been through.

"Leo!" Percy called running towards them both, "Annabeth let me explain!"

Leo took off in a sprint towards the woods, gears falling out his pockets.

"Percy how could you!" Annabeth screamed running towards her cabin.

"Annabeth please... I love you more then anything," Percy pleaded.

"Really, how much do you love Calypso lips?" Annabeth asked scarcastically with tears streaming down her face.

Percy tackled Annabeth as he crashed his lips onto her's.

"I must say wise girl, you're obviously the best kisser," Percy said, smiling down.

Annabeth threw him off as she continued walking towards the cabin, her legs moving faster then before.

"I'm a daughter of Athena, I can tell when your lying. You think if you can crack a joke and then it's alright. Honestly Percy you've really done it!" Annabeth yellled behind her shoulder, wiping her face in the progress before she turned her back on Percy and ran.

Leo

Leo ran into the woods towards bunker nine. Tears streamed down his face as screws continued to fall out his tool belt. Calypso still loved Percy Jackson. She loved everyone more then Leo.

"The seventh wheel," a voice whispered in the back of his head.

Leo sat on his bench looking down on the ground. The foot opened revealing Nico di Angelo .

"Hazel told me to come talk to you," Nico said walking over to him, he wore a black skull shirt with ripped jeans.

"Well I'm obviously fine," Leo said sarcastically wiping his face with a cloth produced from his tool belt. .

"Hazel wouldn't of sent me here if nothing was wrong," Nico said cracking his rare smile.

"I'm Leo Valdez supreme commander of the Argo II. I 'be defeated Gae nothing scares me," Leo boasted looking Nico right in the eye.

"How are you and Calypso doing?" Nico asked raising an eye brow .

Leo scooted up to his seat until he was almost on the edge. His face went hot red again as tears began streaming down his face again, evaporating before they touched his chin, "We've got a minor set back," Leo said as he fiddled with some screws.

"I'm not good with this whole feelings thing," Nico said shifting uncomfortably to the right before looking into Leo's deep brown eyes that were now filled with sadness.

"You don't know how it is to feel so betrayed." Leo said walking toward his blue prints.

"I'm a son of Hade everyone hates me. I've been treated like dirt all my life. My sister died saving Percy, shortly after I learned that they dated a couple years together. Zeus purposely killed my family," Nico replied crossing his arms, as if he made his point .

Leo stared at him. He never heard Nico open up to him, Hazel only knew him well.

Nico patted him on the back, "Some things just don't make sense in life," Nico said sitting down next to him.

"Enough with my girl troubles..." Leo said wiping the tears off his face,"How's your love life at camp?" Leo asked/

Nico hesitated. He walked towards the wall.
"I don't like taking about my feelings with others," Nico said simply.

"What's the worse that can happen?" Leo smirked, walking to stand next to him, "It's not like your gay."

Nico's mouth dropped, but he said nothing. His skin went pale with the argue to shadow travel out of there. He sighed before taking a deep breath, accepting that Leo now understood.

"Holg Hephteous!" Leo said as he scooted a bit away from Nico.

"I'm not sure how I feel about love. I always left camp to get away from my feelings," Nico said shifting to the right.

"I wish it was possible for me too, I can't take all this pain. The feeling is like battle scars but their not going away," Leo said, a tear falling from his cheek.

" Love gives us battle scars."

" I wish I could punch love right in the gut."Leo said as he looked down at the ground .

"We all do," Nico mumbled, looking at Diocletian staff.
