Another Frazel Love Story

Chapter 4. The Confession ~Jason~ and ~Leo~

Well peeps, I am super-uber excited to find out over 122 people have read my story. It just makes my day  ;). I am glad that you guys like it, but to be more specific only 12 people have starred my story. But anyway, I hope that I make you guys laugh, cry or just flat out smile. It would make me proud knowing that my writing could do that. And I know that I'm never going to be as great as Rick Riordan when it come's to writing, but I will always give it my best! And I know this chapter is short, but I felt it's been too long and that I've been taking forever. :) -Cass

~Jason~

Leo and Hazel walked back into the little store after a few minute's. Katie, Connor and Travis had already left a few seconds before Leo and Hazel had returned. Percy and Frank had decided to draw a mustache on the passed out clerk's face. I didn't mind too much. He was pretty annoying. He kept yelling at Percy and I when we looked at some of the magazine's. He called us 'hoodlums who were taking away his customers'. So, I did what any half-blood would do; I knocked him out with the hilt of my sword. Leo went into the security office and erased the part of the video camera tapes that had us on it. Annabeth also gave him little pill while he was unconscious. It would make him forget everything that had happen about 20 minute's before he was knocked out. Hazel gasped when she walked in.

        "Frank!" Hazel exclaimed. Frank threw the marker down and stood up straight. Hazel had put her hands on her hips. For such a short girl, she could be pretty intimidating.

She smiled and said,"No I'm not mad! It just surprises me that you were doing it. So badass." She stood up on her tip-toes and kissed his nose. He blushed. Everyone laughed. It made my heart ache for Piper. I missed her so much. I missed her kaleidoscope eye's, her Evergreen Tree perfume, the way her hair fell down her shoulder's.

I guessed I showed the sadness because Hazel came up to me and said,"Hey. She's going to be alright." I patted her shoulder and nodded. I know she was trying to make me feel better but it wasn't working. The clerk muttered a few ineligible words.

"We should go, guys. Before he wake's up. That wouldn't be a pretty picture." Leo sounded persistent.

"Fine by me. As long as you let me drive." Percy looked at Annabeth after she said that.

"You're serious?" Percy asked. She nodded.

"Perseus Dunn Jackson, you may not realize that I am 21. I'm no longer that 16 year-old girl. I think I can handle driving a car for a while," Annabeth said. Percy nodded. Everyone piled into the van. Annabeth and Percy sat up front. I sat in on a bed and decided to take a nap.

~Leo~

Well, since I wasn't driving, I had to find something to do. One of the negative things about being ADHD is that you can't, under any circumstances, stay still. It's never fun. I sat in a chair for about a minute until I jumped up and walked over to Katie. She was reading a magazine about plants. She smiled when I sat next to her. 

        "Hey Leo," she said.

        "Sup. Listen, I want to talk to you about something."

        "Okay. What?"

        "I know that you really like me. And I really like you too. But, as a friend. Travis really like's you. He's my friend. Bro's before...girls." She laughed quietly.

        "That's fine. As long as we can still be good friends," she said. I nodded. I reached over to her and hugged her. I looked over her shoulder and saw Travis staring.

        "It's all cool, man," I told him ,"we're just friends. I hope you too will be happy together."

I then walked into the bathroom. It had two sections; boys and girls. I made sure they both fit the needs of both genders The girls, for example, had robots that did your nails and hair, magic mirror that told you if your outfit matched, and a weapon bedazzler.

The boys had a boxing ring, a burrito launcher, and a robot that plays unclogs the toilets. Everyone has their own special section. It includes a closet, magic mirror and speaker. So that you could talk to others. I walked over to my section and sat down in from of the mirror. The mirror was decorated with flames. I flipped open the flame closest to the light switch.

A button was under it. I pushed it, the mirror disappeared. I kept a secret compartment for myself. I grabbed my tool belt, strapped it on and closed the compartment. I walked out of the bathroom and over to Jason. He was sleeping on a bottom bunk. He was moving slightly, not a good sign. Probably nightmares.

        "Hey. Hey sparky. Wake up. Wake up!" I said. His eye's shot open. He looked around for a minute, taking it all in, then looked up at me.

        "Leo. Leo we have to hurry," he gasped.

        "Why?"

        "We don't have much time. I just had a dream. I saw what Hazel saw. Ogres. Laistrygonian ogres. Not giants. They're whats keeping Piper and Grover in the cages. They said something about...I don't know...giving them to their mother? Well, Grover at least. They plan to sell her to Circe. She needs new aprentice's. If we don't get their in time, Grover will be cooked and Pipes will be a slave. We have 5 days."

        "WHAT!?!" Hazel exclaimed. Jason nodded.

        "I told you we need to hurry."

      "Well, no time to waste then. In fact, we should be reaching the warehouse in a few short minute's. Everyone remember's where there room's are?" I asked. Everyone but Katie and The Stoll's nodded.

       "I will show the three of you to your rooms when we arrive." They nodded. It took, as I said, only a few minute's to reach the warehouse. As soon as we pulled up to it, I jumped out of the van and ran to the warehouse doors. They had a lock on them, put there by me. It was a simple 4-digit passcode. I always used the same passcode. It's so dynamic, so difficult, only I could think of it; 1234. I put in the code, then opened the large doors. The Agro 2 looked the same as I had left it. I usually visit Festus every other day. He croaked in surprise when he saw me.

        "Hey buddy! Miss me? Well, we're gonna go on an adventure today!"  I called Festus. He croaked excitedly.

        "ALL ABOARD!" I yelled to the others.

        "Holy Hera, Leo! You don't have to yell, you're right next to us," Percy said.

      "Oh I know. But I sound like a train conductor." I smiled proudly even though I was getting strange stares.
