#26: I Want You

A Jason Grace and Piper McLean song-shot

~ ~ ~

Annabeth and I were standing at our usual spot after we’re done eating our lunch. See, we have this certain spot in the school’s commons where my best friend and I usually stand as we wait for the bell to ring. Wait. Hold on. Let me rephrase that. It is where I usually stand as I wait for the bell to ring. Annabeth? Well, she stands in that spot just to gaze dreamily at her long-time crush, Percy Jackson, who happens to be friends with Jason Grace.

“I need to get a drink.” Annabeth said then I nodded.

We walked towards the nearest drinking fountain and Annabeth’s eyes still never left poor Percy. While Annabeth was drinking, I was just standing there and when she was done, we walked a little more. At least we didn’t go back to our spot. Good for me.

We were now standing by the cafeteria’s huge rectangular window. As usual, I am looking around for Jason. Secretly. I don’t want anybody knowing that I, Piper McLean, have a crush on a guy. The last time I had a crush on someone was during sixth grade and that’s it.

I saw Jason by the drinking fountain Annabeth and I were a while ago. Seconds after I saw him and had stared at him for a good amount of time, he caught my eye. Which happens a lot so, it’s not new to me. Even though a massive crowd of people surrounds us, I don’t know why but our eyes always meet.

She strolled down the grassy path towards her cabin in her usual combat boots. Her hair in two braids letting some choppy brown hair hung loose, framing her face. A simple orange camp shirt and cargo pants were her chosen outfit for the day; her eyes that changes its color every second. Kaleidoscope eyes – as Jason calls them. She remembers him telling her how he struggles trying to find out what her eye color really was. She smiled down at the memory.

Jason and her always have this special bond, a special relationship. She knew they were destined to be the best of friends. She knew from the moment Hera put Jason in that bus making her think he was actually her boyfriend. They were destined to be together. Not romantically.

Or so she thought…

Piper has long accepted the fact that therelationship she had with Jason was just a trick of the Mist. Yes, she once wished it was true. Yes, she once had feelings for Jason but after finding out about Reyna, she banished those thoughts and feelings away. She now only sees Jason as her best friend.

Or so she thought…again.

This is wrong but I can't help but feel like

There ain't nothing more right, babe

Misty morning comes again and I can't

Help but wish I could see your face

Every morning when I wake up, the hope inside of me that someday I’ll see him in person never fades; eye to eye. I hope that someday I’ll see his smile that never fails to make me melt.

And I knew from the first note played
I'd be breaking all my rules to see you

Yes, I can disobey all the rules and curfews my parents gave me just so I can see him.

You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name

The television is my limit. I know that. Every time I watch your shows and talk show guest, I couldn’t help myself but get jealous and be envy at all those girls that get to see you in person. Those girls who get to see your knee-weakening smile; those who get to hold your hand; those girls who luckily catches your eyes even if they’re in a massive crowd.

And I couldn’t help but to ask myself: when will I get to experience those things?
