Alone and in love

Chapter six- I'm sorry

I DON'T OWN HEROS OF OLYMPUS

...................................................................................

Jason's POV

I walked with Piper in the stretcher into the hospital They had stopped the bleeding, gotten her stable (for now) and given her pain meds even though she was unconscious for until they could get her to the operation room which was being kept open for her. I prayed to every god I knew (and that included all the roman ones) that she'd be okay. As we walked through white hallways I held my breath for Piper as her limp form was being bumped up and down ever so slightly, there was no spinal damage but that was all they could tell me. As I took another step everything froze. And I mean EVERYTHING, a bright light flashed and when I reopened my eyes Piper's mother Venus- I mean Aphrodite was standing there "my lady," she smiled at me "hello Jason, Hello Piper." her voice was velvety "hi mom." I spun around in shock "Piper!?" she smiled "Jason I-" she coughed, "shhh," I soothed her mother smiled "How are you feeling Piper?" she asked "Like I've just been through the field of punishments and back." Piper spat. Her mother smiled sympathetically, "I'll tell you what, I will cure you and get you both out of here right now. Would that be good?" we both nodded or at least Piper tried to. "why are you helping us?" I asked cautiously "because we can't have mortals finding out about us and that is exactly what will happen if they I operate on Piper, and I'm already keeping Piper alive right now. If it weren't for my magic Piper would be dead right from all the pain and blood loss. My magic is making the pain bearable so she may talk to us Jason. Also you two helped saved olympus so I still feel in dept to you and this is my way of repaying you. But just so you know Drew will continue to hypnotize Jason into loving her as long as you two are in camp half blood." She advised. I nodded "just please help Piper." I begged. she smiled and walked over to her daughter "just close your eyes drear, in a moment it will all melt away."

Pipers POV

I woke with a start and felt a pair of strong arms around me. Jason. It felt so good to have him back with me. I experimentally moved my head. No pain. I lifted my arm. No pain. I tensed every muscle in my body. No pain. I looked up, "thanks mom." I whispered. I closed my eyes again and snuggled into Jason. A few minutes later I felt him poking my side playfully. "Jason!" I groaned. He laughed. "Grrrr." I said playfully. Then turned serious "Jason, I'm so happy you back. I love you." I just had to get those words out. He nodded, "I love you too." We remained silent for a moment. "I'm sorry Piper." he whispered. "You have nothing to be sorry for Jason. None of this was your fault."

"Still. I'm sorry for saying you were a freak, for spreading those awful rummers about you, and for saying that stuff about you and your dad."

"No Jason. None of that was your fault. You were under a spell. Drew is the only one to blame here you're a victim in this even more than me, okay?" I asked sternly. He nodded and pulled me closer. That's when I noticed the note on his bedside table. I reached over and grabbed it.

Dear Piper,

I love you. You are my daughter and I am very proud of you. I erased everyone's mind who saw you get hit. All except for Jason's and Drew's. As a daughter of Aphrodite your love life won't be easy, but just remember I'm proud of you. Good luck.

Love Mom

PS, I told Chiron what happened and he sent Clarisse to bring her back. She is now at the big house facing punishments under my orders. love you,- mom

I smiled and handed the letter to Jason. As he was reading I read the back of the note. I couldn't believe it! "Jason read the back!" I said when he was done. His eyes went wide as he read it.

Dear Jason

I'm proud of you.

His eyes were watering "Oh Piper, This.. This is amazing." he choked up and turned so I wouldn't see him crying. I hugged him tightly, "Oh Jason." From that point I realized how much I loved him. And I just knew we would be okay.
