Since He Left Me || HoO + PJO✔️

Chapter 20

So sorry that I haven't been updating!

Jason's POV😱 I suck at writing his perspective

"Dude! Look what I found!" Leo put the magazine down on to my lap.

I rolled my eyes but stopped when I realized Piper, Reyna, that dude Tyler, and a bunch of other celebrities were on the cover.

'Piper McLean's New Squad Comeback?'  said the title.

I immediately flipped through the pages until I found the article I was looking for.

Piper McLean, 18, recently has come back from illness. As one of the youngest rising stars in Hollywood, she has many celebrities in her squad, including her boyfriend, Tyler Skeet, 19, Jeremy Lopez, 21, Emma Wilcke, 20, Annie Beck, 19, and newbie, Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, 18, who was introduced at the latest premiere of McLean's newest Movie and many more celebrities.

"I've had a miraculous recovery," McLean said in a recent interview with us. "I'm super excited. Now that I'm up to my full health, there are so many new things that I'm excited to show to the public, including two new movies."

McLean's Instagram has lately shown a few pictures on the set of her new upcoming movie, Dying Stars, where she plays Dakota, a teenager girl, adopted by rich parents. Dakota is trying to find her way through life with writing and a mysterious boy next door. Dying Stars will be in theatres next month.

Overall, we love Piper McLean and we love to see her fame grow as Hollywood's golden child with her newest squad.

I tear my eyes off the paper. In the article, it seemed like Piper loved acting and loved being famous. Piper was never like that before. But wait, oh yeah, I left her for three years. Of course, she would change. I was officially stupid.

I look up to Leo who was smirking. "Beauty Queen got some hot friends, eh?" Leo asked as he kissed his right arm with his non-existing muscles.

Suddenly, Frank barged in, covering his mouth with his hand. "All I heard was Leo say 'hot friends' and I knew I was going to barf." He said, a sickening look on his face.

"Anyways, I just wanted to let you know we're leaving soon. So, um... yeah. I'll let you guys go back to kissing your muscles." Frank glanced at Leo, shivered, and ran out.

Leo sighed, dramatically. "I will convince Zhang that I do muscles."

I chuckled, "You go do that,"

Leo and I laughed for a few seconds before he put a reassuring hand on my left shoulder.

"She's going to be okay." He said, softly. I already knew by 'she', he meant Piper.

I looked at him, clenching my teeth. "I just hate the way she looks at the Tyler guy."

Leo looked skeptical. "What do you mean?"

I sighed, "I mean, that Piper actually looks like she's in love with him."

Was it all for show? With Piper, you never knew. I know I had done something terrible to her and I should be the one guilty and she should be the one hurt, but my feelings wouldn't go away. No matter what, I would always feel a stab at my chest when I saw her twinkling eyes and smile directed towards Tyler.

Tyler treated her right. He treated her the way she should be treated. Not like how I treated her. I told Piper I had loved her, and all that led up to was Piper thinking I cheated on her. I bet Tyler and Piper were already exchanging 'I love you's' already.

"Well, you can only do one thing to get her back?" Leo announced, smirking.

I groaned, "Please tell me. I need to know."

Leo's smirk deepened. "Do you really need to know?"

I sighed, "Yes. As long as it'll help me get Piper back."

"Well, all you need to do, Jason Grace..." Leo grinned evilly. "Is to look more like me."

I widened my eyes and started to cough. Yeah... Leo has a problem.

"I know, you're coughing since I'm THAT attractive." Leo batted his eyelashes. 

"No," I gasped for air. "I-I'm coughing because you're just not THAT attractive."

Leo rolled his eyes. "C'mon Superman, give fire boy some slack. All the girls love me! Isn't that right Hazel?" Hazel, who was just walking by, jumped up, scared for a second.

"Hazel?" Leo said.

"U-um, sure?" Hazel put out her hands in defeat.

"Ha! I knew it." Leo guffawed. 

I rolled my eyes, smiling. "Keep telling that to yourself, Leo."

"On a good not though, Piper is having a cocktail party a few block's down tomorrow," Hazel said, suddenly becoming interested in the conversation.

"Is little Hazel planning a party crash?" Leo's eyes glazed over with mischief.

"No, you big idiot. I was meaning to say that we act as if we're big fans of hers and then we can meet her. I'm assuming that we can talk to her privately afterward," Hazel said.

I considered the options. "You have a good point, Hazel," I said.

Leo grinned, "I just love party crashing." He rubbed his hands together.

Hazel looked at him, exasperated. "For the last time, Leo, it's NOT party crashing!"

Leo huffed. "That's what YOU think."

Suddenly, Percy walked in, with his arm slung around Annabeth.

"Someone said party crashing, I'm in." He said, laughing as Annabeth swatted his chest.

Hazel facepalmed herself. "For the LAST time, it's NOT party crashing!"

"Party crashing what?" Frank came in again with a confused look on his face.

Hazel glared at him. "I give up." She grumbled.

"Well, my fellow friends, looks like we have to get dressed up!" Lep declared.

"Does that mean shopping? Because I hate shopping." Annabeth grumbled.

"That's right my grey eyed friend! Shopping for suits and dresses awaits us!" Leo demanded.

"Did Valdez take a shot of adrenaline this morning?" Frank glared at him.

I smiled, "I hope not."

Leo scanned us with his eyes. "Annabeth would look good in a dark blue dress. Hazel would dazzle with gold. And for us guys, um... black suits!" Leo yelled.

"Keep yelling. I think the people over in Canada can hear you." Frank muttered.

"Not only that..." Leo paused. "I'm making tofu tacos tonight!"

All of us groaned in unison. 

"Can we please have something blue?" Percy begged.

"We've been eating it for the past three days!" Annabeth groaned.

"Cheer up, friends! It's gonna be different this time! I found a new recipe!" Leo said.

"As long as it fills us up for our party crash tomorrow!" Frank added.

Hazel smacked her forehead with her hand. "For the LAST time! It's NOT a party crash!"

Leo smirked. "That's what you think."
