PJO/HOO Ships: One-shots

True Love {with Song}: Hephdiote

Aphrodite is aching. Both inside and outside. After the war with Gaea, lots of people lost their loved ones. She feels all the pain they felt. The only one that can comfort her is her true love. The one she shoves away. Now she knows it, is too late.

If I can do it all over, maybe I'll do it different

Maybe I wouldn't be here, in this position

Her true love is Hephaestus and she loves him. Aphrodite has no idea why she pushes him away. A few months ago, Hephaestus divorces her after finding her and Ares cheating on him in his bedroom. He also caught them in his golden net again. Telling her that she doesn't have to cheat on him anymore. She could be out openly with his brother Ares. She never left her palace on Olympus once after that. there is also no council meeting.

I found you than I lost you

Looking back is torture

and it hurt to know I let you go, you live right along the conner

And I couldn't have it all, couldn't have it all

The truth is, she doesn't like Ares. He is just a tool she used. She dumped him after Hephaestus divorces her. Now here she is, sitting alone in her bedroom, crying for her true love.

True love, I knew I had it

True love, is so hard to find

Warm arms encased around her. The only one who understands her feeling, her daughter. More specifically, the only daughter she and Hephaestus have when they are first married. He never knew that. Just thought that she is another one of her daughter with Ares.

True love, if I can get it back now

I'll never let it go this time

"You okay mom," Silena asked her mom as she pulled her blonde hair behind her ears. She looks like her mom but has skills like her dad. She always knew him, wanting to have a father and daughter relationship with him, wanting to have a pleasant family. But her dad never knew. Misunderstanding her for a child of her mom and that stupid God of War Ares. Now her dream of becoming a family is ruined. Dad divorces mom and she is now crying about it. She knows that the only people who can comfort her are herself and dad. Dad never did because he didn't know mom actually love him.

True love, is an inspiration

True love, it was mine oh mine

"I'm okay Silena," Aphrodite told her daughter.

"Then why are you crying?" She asked her mom in a soothing voice.

"I'm not," Aphrodite try to tell her daughter and putting on a confident face for her. But the truth is, she is hurting a lot. Many of the heartbreaks she felts make her weak. But then a divorce? She feels like she is fading. Silena wipes a teardrop from her face and shows it to her. "I miss him Silena, I really do."

True love, if I could get it back now

I'll never let it go, I'll never let it go this time

Aphrodite cried into her daughter's shoulder once more. "I know you care mom, but why do you push him away?"

"I don't know," Aphrodite cried out. "Maybe... I just don't know." She sobbed her heart out. Than lightning flash in the sky, signaling a council meeting.

"Should I come with you?" Silena asked. Aphrodite knows she shouldn't bring Silena with her. Not many people know about her. No Olympian knows about her except for her, Ares, and Hephaestus. Silena usually stays in the mortal world. But she really needs her. She debated with herself for a while and she will probably be late for the council meeting but she doesn't care. "Sure," Aphrodite finally said. They flashed to the meeting.
