Chapter 7: Jason

Oh my Gods, you guys are so awesome! Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I love you guys so much! I wasn't going to update till sunday, after my physics exam, but I just had to. You guys are motivating me.

Jason's POV

Piper clenched her knuckles and her skin seemed to be turning pale. "Annabeth." She muttered.

I blinked, Annabeth? As far as I knew, there was no girl called Annabeth in the Roman legion.

"Who's Annabeth?" I questioned out loud.

She looked at me, shocked, as though she had forgotten that I was even there.

Wow, I had never gotten that one before.

Usually, people became sharper around me, more concious. And this girl, just seemed oblivious to who I was.

Instead of making me dislike her, it made me more curious about her.

She was different.

It was almost as though she wasn't Roman. She wasn't sharp, the way Reyna was. She was more...fluid.

"Jason? Jason!" Piper clicked her fingers beside my face, trying to get my attention. What was wrong with me? Was I really daydreaming about a girl I met a few hours ago?

"Yeah?" I said, promising myself I wouldn't zone out again.

She cleared her throat, "I don't know."

"You don't know what?" I asked, was I missing something? This is why I hated zoning out.

She laughed, and it was beautiful, like a music note. I could just hear her laugh all day. "I don't know who Annabeth is." She said and I remembered, I had asked her who Annabeth was.

"I just know that she's blonde." Piper continued.

I nodded, "It's good that you're remembering, even if it's in bits at pieces. Anything else you remember?"

"Leo." She says fluently, like it's a worn out name, "I remember Leo Valdez." Something about the way her eyes glistened when she said this Leo boy's name left an unsettling feeling in my stomach, a bitter taste in my mouth. I was never one to get jealous, so I didn't get why I was feeling this way.

"What about Leo?" I asked through my teeth, faking interest in knowing who Leo was. All I wanted to know was, who was Leo to her?

To my relief, she answered by saying, "He's my best friend. He's....like a little brother to me."

Brother.

Internally, I was heaving in relief. Externally, I had no idea why. Who was Piper McLean to me?

I decided that thinking about it was only going to result in me going crazy. I glanced at my watch, "We still have time before we present you to the legion. Want to go for a walk? I could show you around."

She raised her eyebrows at me, "Present me to the legions. Why, that doesn't sound terrifying at all."

"Believe me, it should. Just hope someone vouches for you." I informed her and she gulped, "Nice weather, isn't it?" She asked, and I smirked at her attempt to change the topic.

I looked up at the dark grey sky, "Very." I said, laughing which caused Piper to shove me, "Stop laughing at me!"

I was laughing even harder, "I'm not." I assured her and she raised her eyebrows as if to say yeah right.

"Okay, maybe I am." I said and she smacked me before breaking into an adorable pout.

Adorable?

I was more confused than ever, now. I though about Piper. Did I like her? I think I was way past that stage.

Before today, I had never believed in love but when I saw Piper McLean, I felt conflicted.

And now, I was more sure than anything in this world, that it was love on first sight.

Eh, so this was a filler but I know a lot of people hate Jason. Why? I'm pretty sure that however hard he tries to be, he's not perfect.

I've taken on a mission...I'm going to try and make you guys see why Jason is a nice guy, and maybe at the end of the story, you'll actually start liking him a bit.

Maybe my characters, especially Jason, are going a little OC but I'm sorry about that, I just want to make their relationship perfect.

This chapter is for the Jasper lovers ;)
