The next day was even worse. I woke to the sound of some icky love song. grrrrr! Like they know anything about love. All it does is hurt people. I groggily got up and woke the other guys. Mitchell actually threw a pillow at me! Jeez! I obviously dodged it, but still! I faked laughed, "Get up!" I said although my voice was horse from all of my crying, he glared playfully and I attempted a laugh again then walked towards the vacant showers.

On the way to breakfast Drew came an joined us. I refused to look at her but I could just imagine the smug look on her makeup covered face. I spotted Jason and Leo walking to the pavilion and I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. It just hurt so bad to see Jason so happy, like everything was fine, well it wasn't! Nothing was fine! Gods! Why? Just why did my mom hate me so much to do this to me? I sighed, "no, mom has her reasons." I told myself.
Ya right.

The minute I was done eating, (which wasn't long considering I barely ate anything) I ran. I ran as fast as possible for as long as I could. When I was finally done running I could barely breathe, I collapsed on a large rock and remained motionless. I knew it was dangerous in the forest by myself but I didn't really care. All I could think about was Jason, how he used to hold me tight when I was insecure about everything, how he'd always been there when I cried, how it had all been so perfect. Then my thoughts changed, why did he leave me like this, why did he suddenly not care? I replayed last night in my mind for what felt like forever. When I was done I decided that I needed to talk to Jason about this, maybe Drew charmspoke him into doing that, ya that had to be it.... Right?

Later when the Aphrodite cabin had free time I headed for the beach where I knew Jason would be hanging out with Percy. When I got there I smiled falsely at Percy "Hey Perc, can I talk to Jason?" I asked politely, Percy nodded and excused himself from the conversation. I then turned to face a smug looking Jason. "Um, Jason? About what happened last night, well, what did happen, did she... did she charmspeak you?" I asked softly laying a hand on his shoulder. "Ha! That's funny dumpster girl! Drew would never do that to me!" He laughed cruelly. I was taken aback by his tone,
"But.."
"Oh! You thought I actually loved you? Ha! No! Why would I ever love you? You're such a freak! like I'd ever love you! Drew and I are old news! We've been dating forever! You were just too stupid to realize I loved her!"
"Jason-"
He laughed. Tears brimmed at my eyes threatening to overflow. I wanted to hit him, I wanted to yell at him and curse him for all time, but I was too shocked and hurt to even move. Just then the wicked witch of the west Drew walked up and sneered, "come on baby let's leave little Miss Dumpster Queen to her thoughts" and with that they were off.

The second they were out of view I fell to the ground, all I could feel was the pain of my heart breaking. "why would I ever love you?" "you're such a freak!" "like I'd ever love you!" "you were just too stupid to realize I loved her!" The words kept swimming around in my mind. I vaguely heard voices calling my name in the distance but I didn't have the will to call out to them.

"Piper? Piper!" I was shaken awake by my half sister Lacy. "Oh Gods Piper we've been worried sick! At the end of free time we couldn't find you anywhere and then there was a monster attack and I was afraid that it had gotten you in the process! Oh Gods!" she exclaimed. I opened my mouth to speak but I just started to cry onto her shoulder. At first she seemed shocked but she started to comfort me. "what's wrong Piper?" she asked when I stopped crying. That's when it all came out. I told her all of it and it felt good to talk to someone about it. "Oh you poor thing! Come on we'll get you something to drink." I nodded my head and followed her to the big house. Seconds after we got there Leo bursted through the door "Piper!" he screamed. I smiled weakly. "Hey repair boy." I said quietly. He opened his mouth to say something but Lacy cut him off with a glare, the two of them NEVER got along. Leo shrunk back "well... heh heh... I've got to get going now. Bye!" He said as he backed out the door. I rolled my eyes and Lacy sighed "Sometimes I wonder about him" she spat. I smiled "he's not that bad." I chided. She just rolled her eyes "sure he's not"
