It's been 12 weeks and nothings getting better. Jason is still head-over-heals for Drew and loves to hurt me. I mean, it would have been bad enough for him to just date Drew and let my live my life but Noooo he had to go around saying how awful I was and how I wasn't even worth it. He's said it enough times now that I believe it. I'm just not important to anyone. Lacy is back at school with all my other siblings but Laura (and Drew of course) , Percy and Annabeth are in New Rome, Nico's who knows where, Leo's caught up with work 'cause Mr D has the Hephaestus cabin working overtime on a statue in memory of the war, and I haven't heard from Thalia and the hunters in months.

It was almost Dinner but I still refused to get up. I was so done. I just didn't want to move, I hadn't gotten up other than to eat and use the washroom in 3 days. Laura stayed with the Aries Cabin except to sleep. Clarisse and I had made this deal awhile back cause even though she was tough, she had a soft spot for Laura. (Don't ask. I don't get it either.) As for Drew, well, she can go to hades. But she's probably with Jason as always. I sighed as I got up and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I've long since gave up. My life was miserable. I was in love and completely alone. I hated it. But still I refused to let go, I tried to move on, I really did, but, it didn't work. I tried rebound dating.... with Connor Stoll, but we both knew that was pointless, I tried staying with my Dad for awhile, but when I got back it was WAY worse. I just couldn't win. I walked up to the dining pavilion and sat down early. I smiled faintly as a small breeze combed through my unbrushed hair. I sat up straight and closed my eyes gently resting my hands on my lap, this was the first time in along time since I felt at peace and genially felt calm, and not in a maybe if I lay still hades would finally take my life kind of way. My peace was shattered when Drew walked in. "It's just sad, you know? She helped save the world only to become the biggest freak show known to demigod." She sneered. "I know right?" Jason chimed in. I turned to glare at him "go away" I stated trying to act tough but failed when I looked into his eyes, gods, I hadn't looked at him in 12 weeks and 4 days (yes I've been counting) and seeing him just killed me. "No Piper, he broke your heart! Remember? You are alone now you can't love him." my head stated firmly. "Too late." my heart countered. I tried to look away from him but I couldn't, there seemed something different about him, but I couldn't place what... nah I'm seeing things, he's just a jerk and that's it. His cruel eyes twinkled as he spoke, "come on baby. Why are we even talking to her? She's a nobody, a freak. She's unwanted here" he smiled as he continued, "she's unwanted everywhere, not even her own dad wants her around and you know why? Cause she is completely worthless." my breath caught, he'd struck a nerve and he knew it. I got up slowly, never losing eye contact with him. I walked over to to him emotionlessly until I was inches from his face, (I was tempted to kiss him but no) there was a glimmer of nervousness in his eyes but he was good at hiding it. I raised my right hand and slapped him hard straight across the face. Without saying a word I walked out of the room strongly.

I walked all the way to my cabin without changing pace or crying but when I got to my bed I flopped down on it and stared at the ceiling with no intentions of ever looking away.

Jason's POV

She walked away. About time! She was a good actress I'll give her that, but I knew her better than that. She was hurt, bad. I knew I had crossed a line by bringing her dad into this but I just couldn't stop myself, it was like it was out before I even knew I had said it! that seemed to be happening a lot cause - "serves her right! good job Jase." my girlfriend said. I smiled proudly "Thanks! But do you know what day it is?" I asked. She shook her head no and yawned. I was slightly disappointed that she didn't know, but the thought was quickly blocked "how could you think that Jason? Drew is the most amazing girlfriend ever and don't ever forget it!" I scolded myself. "It's my birthday!" I said out loud beaming. She rolled her eyes "Jason not everything is about you! Jeez!"
"Sorry. I just-"
"Whatever"
"Ok"
She smiled, "but I do have an idea for you're birthday, meet me outside my cabin at nine o'clock, skip dinner and ware something nice, cause this" she said pointing to my close "just isn't cutting it" I smirked and leaned down "I wouldn't miss it for the world" with that my hot girlfriend walked off to her cabin just as it started to rain.

Pipers POV

I glared as Drew walked through the door. I refused to acknowledge her. I heard her walk to the showers and the water turn on. 45 minutes later she walked out and proceeded to try on different outfits. "I totally get what you see in Jason." Drew said in a false attempt at small talk. "But I never understood what he saw in you, that is until I found out that you were just a dummy for him to make sure he'd be ready to date me." I glared at her. She smiled sickeningly, she just wanted to torment me, like I was a mouse and she was a cat about to kill me. She continued to try on dresses with the occasional "Oh that won't do!" At about nine she was done, "what do you think hon? oh wait I wouldn't want to take fashion tips from dumpster girl!" I rolled my eyes. Just then the most awful man on earth walked in. "Hi Babe," he said knowing it would hurt me, my heart did a flip when I saw him, he had a white button up shirt on and black pants, his hair was combed and his teeth seemed to be whiter than the last time she'd seen him a few hours ago. He smirked at me and I glared back. I hated him but at the same time I knew I loved him. They walked from the cabin laughing and I got up and slammed the door in their face. The second they left I sunk down on the other side of the door and cried for the millionth time this week.
