*Flashback - 2 months after the second war*

~Percy's POV~

Everything had been going well these last two months. We were all sad that Leo had died but then he showed up with Calypso. I apologized to Calypso a lot since I wasn't able to get her off the island and she was very kind in accepting my apologies.

Today was normal or at least as normal as it can be in a demigod life. I was sparring with Jason in the arena when Piper and Annabeth came up to us. They asked us to meet them at the beach in 10 minutes then they walked off. Jason and I shared a look, each confused. We took a break and grabbed some water. Since sweat is made from mainly water I was able to will myself to stay dry. I even helped Jason out.

After 10 minutes, Jason and I headed towards the beach. We saw the figures of our girlfriends and jogged over to them.

"Hey, Pipes, Wise Girl, what's up?" I asked, smiling cheerfully. They looked nervous. I took a glance at Jason and he noticed it too.

"What's wrong?" asked Jason, concern laced in his voice. The two looked at each other before Piper spoke,

"We have something important to tell you." We nodded for her to continue. "Well, you see, I-I'm I'm, uh, a lesbian." Pipes said. Jason and I looked at her, surprised, and then Wise Girl spoke,

"And I'm a bisexual but there's more." she stopped to breathe before continuing, "Piper and I love each other. We want to be together." She looked right at me when she finished, her beautiful stormy gray eyes were pleading.

I gave her a comforting smile. Jason did the same for Piper. "We accept who you both are, you are still the same Piper McLean and Annabeth Chase that we know. I think I can speak for Jason when I say that I'm happy you told us before you two got together." I said, in a comforting voice.

"Yeah. I hope you two are happy together." Jason said, smiling brightly.

"Thanks for the memories." The blond superman and I said at the same time.

The girls looked at us, their eyes lighting up. "Thank you, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth pounced to hug me.

"Thank you, Sparky!" Piper said, also hugging Jason.

They let go and held each other's hand, staring dreamily into each other's eyes. "We'll leave you two alone," Jason said, grabbing my wrist and bringing me with him. He brought me to Zeus' Fist. My emotions finally caught up to me and I could feel my heartbreak.

I didn't want to feel sad but I couldn't help it. Even though she didn't love me like that anymore, I still loved her. I was happy for her but still. I could feel tears prickle in my eyes just when Jason had taken a glance at me.

His face turned to worry. "Perce, are you okay?"

I shook my head. I started trembling as the tears poured faster. "I'm happy for Annie, I really am but it still hurts. She might not love me like that but I still love her." Jason came over to me and gave me a hugged. My face was buried in his shoulder.

"I know Perce. I feel the same way about Piper. I'm happy for her but my heart still breaks. And that's okay. You're just gonna need time. We're each gonna need time." He comforted me. I nodded but my face was still hidden. I didn't like crying in front of people but Jason was one of my best friends so I felt comfortable showing him when I'm weak. "It'll be okay, Perce."

"Yeah, it'll be okay." I smiled sadly into his shoulder.

*Flashback End*

~Narrator Percy POV~

Things did get better.

For the first week of Piper and Annabeth being together, Jason and I stayed in either his cabin or my cabin. We would usually sneak out and into the dining pavilion to steal food. Then, return back to one of our cabins.

When we finally did leave our cabins everyone was there to help us. Piper and Annabeth kept their distance at first but soon everything was normal. Jason and I became best friends during our time in the cabins. Annie and I are best friends as well, and if you didn't know us you'd think we were dating with how close we are.

Everything was normal but for some reason, my heart started beating faster when I was around Jason and I would get all sweaty which I easily fixed. I didn't know what that meant at the time. When I did realize that it meant I loved blond superman I felt more awkward around him. Annabeth asked me one day if I liked Jason.

She's my best friend so I told her the truth. She swore she wouldn't tell anyone but I forgot to make her swear it on the River Styx. I'm happy I forgot. Annie went straight to Jason and Piper, telling them my secret. Little did I know that Jason had a crush on me.

The next day I had gone to the beach to relax. Jason was there and nervously asked me out. I said yes and one thing led to another and we started dating. Since that day I have been the happiest I have ever been. That all happened about 4 years ago. I am now 21 years old and Jason is 21 years old as well. I'm older because of the months.

For once, everything has been great for me. I have amazing friends and an awesome boyfriend. But I shouldn't have been so naive.

The Fates are so cruel...
