Piper's POV

"Thank you so much, Hailey. I owe you. Thank the gods I remembered about the party tonight." I thanked my manager on the phone. I glanced at the clock 6:02 pm. Around two hours till' showtime. 

"Don't worry Pipes. I got the story covered. You fell ill, and now you're better." Hailey responded over the phone. 

"Thanks so much again!" I thanked Hailey again before we hung up, promising we would see each other later.

"Okay! Reyna, time for our makeup!" We were both dressed in our dresses which by the way, looked AMAZING together. I had quickly highlighted and cut my hair since it was getting a little gross and Reyna decided to slightly curl hers at the ends. "Sit," I demanded, pointing at the stool in front of a makeup desk. Reyna willingly plopped onto the chair.

She was naturally gorgeous so she didn't much makeup. I put some mascara, skin coloured lipstick, eyeliner and worked on her eyebrows. Reyna's lips quivered, "I think this look you're going with will need some earrings and a bracelet." She said quietly, waiting for my response. I studied her face in the mirror for a minute.

"Actually..." I started slowly "that's actually genius!" I opened my jewelry box and found a coral coloured bracelet and some medium sized silver earrings. I put them on Reyna and she looked beautiful. 

Reyna stuttered nervously, "Thanks, Piper. I didn't know I could look like this."

I crossed my arms, "Girl, all the boys will fall for you!" I started putting on my own makeup. Mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss, and some eyebrow work too. I finally decided on some silver studs and a blue and grey bracelet. My iPhone buzzed with a text from with Hailey. She was here to pick us up. "Ok. Reyna. You ready?" I asked. 

She took a deep breath. "Ready as I'll ever be."

We quickly grabbed some high-heeled shoes and walked out of my house to find Hailey standing outside a limo. Her face lit up when she saw us. "Piper! OMG! You look stunning!" She faced Reyna, "and you too! You must be a good friend of Piper's!" Hailey exclaimed.

"She's a friend of mine from San Fransisco," I informed Hailey. She squealed. Let's just say Hailey loves all people from San Fransisco. "Hailey, this is Reyna. Reyna, this is my manager Hailey."

"Nice to meet you," Reyna stuck out her hand but only to find that Hailey hugged her tightly. 

"You will rock that carpet tonight," Hailey whispered urgently. "Okay! Only half an hour before showtime ladies, we gotta go." She ushered us closer to the limo where my driver, Max was waiting.

"Nice to see you back, Miss McLean." He winked before opening the car door. I immediately went for a full-on hug before he chuckled. "Missed you too! Now, let's go! Time's wasting!" He let me get in after Reyna and closed the door.

---------------------------

Camera lights flashed against the darkened limo windows. I glanced over at Reyna who was looking quite nervous. "You ready?" I asked.

She laughed nervously, "Yep."

"Okay. Get ready to wave. I'll get out first, then you can follow." I said. And as if on cue, Max opened the door and I put on a big smile. I stepped out onto the red carpet waving at fans.

"Piper! Piper! Look over here." One flash of a camera.

"Miss McLean! Over here. I love the matching two-pieces!" Another flash.

I looked back at the limo to find Reyna stepping out. 

"Miss McLean! Who is this friend of yours?" A blonde reporter came up to us and pushed a microphone in front of me. 

"This is Reyna Ramírez-Arellano. She's a friend of mine from San Fransisco." The reporter squealed and ran off before another reporter came.

"How have you felt these past few months Piper? Are you feeling better?" The tall man asked urgently. 

"I'm feeling much better," I replied. 

Suddenly, a warm hand wrapped around my waist. My cheeks burned. Tyler. I looked up to find him looking at the reporter with a serious look.

"Piper has made a fantastic recovery." What is he doing? Barely anyone knows about our relationship also, he's lying. He saw what happened. He'll have to know the truth about demigods soon.

"So... you two are dating?" The reporter asked. Tyler looked at me.

"Yes," I said firmly.

Reyna's voice cut through, "Tyler Skeet is your boyfriend?" She shrieked and Tyler chuckled. 

"Reyna right?" He asked as he stuck his free hand out and Reyna shook it, excited.

"Yes!" She replied and I laughed at her excitement. 

Tyler pecked me on the cheek before leading Reyna and I towards the entrance of the building where all the other actors were going. "We should go inside and we can... you know... talk about..."

"Yeah..." I said slowly. I stopped walking before wrapping my arms around Tyler. Holding him tight against me. I didn't care about all the "Oooh's" and "Ahh's" right now. I had to admit, even though I had missed Jason a lot, I still missed Tyler almost equally as much. "I missed you," I murmured, looking up at his green eyes which so perfectly matched his blond hair.

Tyler chuckled before burying his head into my hair, "I missed you to Pipes." He kissed my forehead before we walked into the building together.
