drops of jupiter

Dedicated to Clato4ever for being an amazing sister to me. Not only is she a Jeyna fan, but she's also a Clato one. I want to say thanks to her for supporting my stories. Love ya sis!

♚♚♚

Well now he's back in the atmosphere
With Drops of Jupiter in his hair, hey, hey
He walks like summer and talks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since his return from the stay on the moon
He listens like spring and he talks like June, hey, hey

Reyna couldn't stop fidgeting. She was having cold hands and her breathing was rapid. Besides her was Perseus Jackson who can't stop grinning from excitement. She on the other hand can't stop worrying. Though she doesn't understand why. This was Jason. Her Jason. Her Best Friend and the one she counted on the most for. Her anxiousness is making her unstable.

She then saw the flying ship on the sky. Lowering slowly on Camp Jupiter. Jackson was practically jumping up and down from giddiness. Not Roman-like, she thought to herself. But he is still trustworthy to be Praetor.

The first to come down was a curly blond girl with striking gray eyes. She was running towards someone when Reyna realized that this was Annabeth Chase, Perseus' girlfriend. She judo flipped Jackson to the ground before kissing him which earned shocking gasps from the legion including Reyna. What a strange girl.

Before she knew it, the attention was simply back on the ship when Jason was the one to come down.

Ω

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
That heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

That's when everything stopped. Because besides Jason was a beautiful girl with Kaleidoscopic eyes who was holding his hand. And for Reyna, everything was over.

Ω

Well now he's back from that soul vacation
Chasing his way through the constellation, hey, hey
He checks out Mozart while he does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey
Well now he's back in the atmosphere

I'm afraid that he might think of me as plain ol' JaneTold a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

She immediately noticed the changes. The way he moves wasn't like a Roman, strong and confident. It was careless and frolicsome. Like he grew up to be a Greek and never knew the Roman way. And it broke her heart knowing that this wasn't the old Jason. This was new and different. The one who belonged to the beautiful girl and the one she lost.

Ω

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along in the light of day
Head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

She knows in her heart she can never compare. The girl was extremely beautiful, she was plain. Very simple. And she couldn't understand what Jason saw in her before when he confessed his feelings on the rooftop. And Reyna remembered what she done. She rejected saying that duty must come first before anything else and she left leaving a heartbroken Jason behind.

And it was her decision that changed everything. It was her fault that they never got a chance. She avoided it even though she feels the same way for him. She was terrified of being heartbroken and look where it got her. Suffering from the same fear.

But she still wonders, maybe Jason still remembers her and that when he sees her, he'll be by her side again.

Ω

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had. . .and me.

Jason can never handle without the Jellybean stealing, the sword fights, the phone calls, their war games. He needed his best friend as much as she needed hers. And he would especially miss the late night hot chocolates.

Because as much as they are willing to admit. They needed each other to be sane.

Ω

Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along in the light of day
Head back toward the Milky Way
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself?

Though Reyna was heartbroken, she still tried to put on a facade. A stoic face showing she is unaffected by the situation. That their Praetor is tough and isn't weakened by petty things. She needed to be strong for the camp because they trust her with their lives.

She needed to get through this. She needed to have hope and patience for this. Because everything happens for a reason.

And Jason remembers the memories a little too late. And he regrets everything. He hates Juno and Venus for playing with him. For making him forget the strong girl with the braided hair who has an addiction with jellybeans.

Too late to get back the relationship they have back then. Too late for the midnight strolls and the sword fights and the hot chocolates.

And he would give just anything for a chance of do-over. A chance to fall in love with each other again.
