41Hey, guys! Hope you like the last one 'cause this chapter's gonna blow your mind. Everyone ready, okay. Just get some popcorn and some soda and we're good to go. Nah, just kidding about the popcorn and soda thing. So, let's soar together, shall we?
Note: I do not own PJO or HoO or any characters in this story. The first POV is Third Person.
"Who is he?" They both said in unison.
Jason and Will glared at each other. Piper tried to separate the two since she knew what's going to happen.
"Okay," Piper said. "Let's just be friends, alright? There is no need of fighting."
"Piper, you broke up with me and then, have another boyfriend!" Jason chided. "How could you?"
"Jason," Piper said. "I can explain."
"Explain all you want, I'm not listening!" Jason was enraged, he ran back inside the set.
Piper knelt on the ground and sobbed. She just lost another boyfriend and it's all her fault. Someone put a hand on her should and comforted her. She turned her head to see Will, kneeling next to her. Will put comforting patterns on Piper's back. Piper cried more, she turned around and hugged Will. Will was surprised at first, but eventually hugged her back. Piper just cried on Will's shirt.
"I'm sorry, Will." Piper said. "I'm sorry. I don't know what to do anymore. Thank you for being a friend."
Will nodded and smiled at her. What they didn't know, even though Jason ran away. He was looking at them from a window, glaring at their direction. Jason turned away, a tear escaped his eye. Another broken heart in the world.
Jason Grace
During lunch break, I needed some fresh air. I politely turned down the request of my co-actors to eat with them at lunch. I went outside and inhaled some fresh air. Some, since the air at Hollywood isn't really that fresh. I walked around the large park and saw Piper seating on a bench near the fountain.
Talk to her, Jason. It's now or never, that same voice said inside my head. And I reluctantly obeyed. I walked toward Piper. The closer I got, my heart would beat faster, my feet would get heavier each step, and I would sweat easily. But I found the courage. I sat down next to her, and I was sure that she whimpered in…fear, I guess. Why is she afraid? I have no idea. I wanted to know something from her.
"Piper, we need to talk." I said.
"W-What is it?" She asked.
"Piper, I still love you." I said. "But why do you keep resisting me, why are you making our relationship impossible?"
She inhaled, "Do you believe in curses, Jason?"
"I stopped believing in curses or fairytales a long time ago." I replied.
"Well," She said, her face showing absolute nothing but pain. "You have to believe in them because I have been cursed."
I looked at her, confused. "You? Cursed? How so?"
"I've been cursed that whenever I try to make a relationship, it wouldn't end well. I would just break up with them." She said, then looked at me with those beautiful multi-colored eyes. "I still love you. I love you so much that I had to leave you."
"I don't understand. Why do we have to part?"
"Your fans don't like you dating other girls except for Reyna." She explained. "If your fans aren't satisfied then your job as an actor will perish. All of your hard work and sacrifice to make it to the top will just be a waste of time."
He caressed her cheek. "Piper, I don't care what they say. They cannot separate us… I won't allow it again."
She looked at me, her eyes filled with hope. "Are you—"
"Yes, Piper." I said. I took her hand and held it in mine. "Would you do the honor to become my girlfriend again?"
"Yes." She said. I was so overjoyed, that I just kissed her on the lips. Our lips move in rhythm, and I felt it…that spark. The kiss was different, it's…special in some way. When we pulled apart, we smiled at each other.
"Would you like to have lunch, Piper?"
"Well," She stepped forward so we're nose-to-nose. She ran her hand on my hair. "I'd be honored."
We smiled at each other as we walked side by side, holding hands toward my car.

Jason and I walked and enjoyed our beautiful afternoon together. The lunch "date" was excellent, Jason brought me to a restaurant, and they had delicious food there.
"Piper, there's something I want to show you." Jason said. I eyed him suspiciously, a hint of curiosity on my face. "Another trick up your sleeve?" I asked.
"Well, it's… just follow me." He said and dragged me along toward the park nearby. He bought a single blue balloon and some paper with a string tied to it and a pen. He sat down on a bench and patted the seat next to him. I sat beside him and watch him tie the balloon on the handle of the bench.
"Piper, write a wish of yours." He told me, and I obeyed. I took the pen and the paper from him and wrote my wish on it. I gave the paper back to him and he smiled as he read it.
"I want Jason to become a successful actor and next time, a great singer." He said out loud. And then he turned to me. "Pipes, you're the best girlfriend ever!"
"And you're the best boyfriend ever, Sparky!" I said. I watched him untie the balloon from the handle and tie the string of the paper with the string of the balloon.
"My father taught me how to do this." He explained. "He taught me this before he never came back. He said that if you tie your wish on a balloon and let it fly, your wish will be granted."
"Your father, is he still alive?" I asked.
"Yeah, he's still alive. He calls from time to time, but he can't come back 'cause he's been busy. So, on three, we'll let the balloon go. And later, let's see if your wish came true." He said. "Three, two, one!" And then we let the balloon go. W watched it fly up higher and higher until it vanished above the clouds.
"Come on, Sparky. Let's see if my wish came true." I said as I ran toward his car. He laughed and chased after me.
Hey everyone! I hoped you like it! It's short again, but it's good. So give reviews! Thanks everyone, love you all!
