Heroes of Olympus: After Gaea

Hazel

Publishing  chapters everyday! Hehe

"Frank?" Hazel asked, knocking on his door.

They were ignoring each other for weeks before they started to talk again. But, they still hadn't spoken to each other about that day.

The day that they nearly went too far.

"I'll be out in a second!"

"No, it's fine! I was planning to come in anyway!"

Hazel waited for a response but didn't receive any. Soon enough, the door opened to reveal a towering man with soaking black hair.

"You're... you're not allowed to." Frank muttered, drying his short hair with a towel. Judging from his soaked face and tight blue top, Frank just came from the shower.

"Don't be silly! I'm your girlfriend!" She responded, barging past Frank and into his room. A little thought beforehand popped into her head that he had a girl or something to hide in his room from her, but sitting on his bed, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

Frank looked at her and sighed, but closed the door and sat next to Hazel. However, they were like a metre apart. Hazel edged closer to Frank. He gulped and edged away from her. This repeated for a while before Frank was at the edge of his bed, so resorted to standing up.

"Frank, I don't have a disease." Hazel frowned.

"I know." He responded. He gave up and sat right next to her, but made sure he didn't look at her.

"Frank, what happened was not your fault."

"But I led you on. And you're so young..."

"Technically I'm more than half a century older than you." Hazel grinned. Frank didn't want, but he smiled at her back.

"I'm very mature for my age and demigods don't have a high age expectivety so we do everything young. Frank, don't blame yourself."

"You sure? I don't want to hurt you."

Frank looked so sad Hazel wanted to cry. Instead, she pulled him for a hug and he hugged her back.

"I don't want to leave on a bad note." Hazel told him.

"You won't. Now, go make me proud." Frank said, smiling.

"When haven't I? "

Hazel, Piper, Leo and Calypso picked up their plates and put it in Hazel's rucksack.

"Can't starve," commented Leo, "now can everyone get off the ship?"

Frank, Jason and Coach Hedge looked at each other but obeyed. When they got off in Morroco, Leo took out a metal plate from his and tucked it under the ship.

"What's that?"

"You'll see." Leo grinned.

He brought out a remote and pressed pressed a button. Quickly, the metal plate started to ascend and took the ship with it until it was so high it was out of sight.

"How do we know the ship hasn't dropped from that high up?" Asked Piper, squinting her eyes from the Moroccan sun.

"I'll check." Leo said. "Oh, Festus!"

A slight red light emerged from the top of the clouds.

"It's all good." Leo grinned. He pressed a button and the metal decreased, bringing the ship down with it.

"You're amazing." Calypso smiled, kissing Leo on the cheek. His smile extended as he turned to Frank and Jason.

"Alright guys. Don't fuck up my ship." He glared. Frank rolled his eyes and Jason laughed. Talk about respect.
