A/N: Sorry Sorry Sorry! I haven't updated in so long, I'm so sorry. I've been really busy these past two weeks and so I couldn't get around to writing. But I'm back, so let's continue with the story.

As much as Calypso liked Leo, she couldn't help but think why he would leave her alone with Piper. Piper, his best friend who hates her, Piper.

As he closed the door behind him, she slowly turned around to meet Piper's gaze, but she wasn't glaring at her, surprisingly. Piper's face didn't hold any emotion whatsoever. It kind of scared Calypso not knowing what Piper was thinking.

"So I guess, it's just the two of us, huh?" Calypso stated, trying to break the tension between them. Piper looked at her for a few seconds, she looked at her as if she was trying to solve a puzzle. Calypso could practically see the gears turning in her head.

"You don't think that Jason actually...did it, right?," Piper's voice was filled with concern, "He wouldn't, right?" Piper turned around as she whispered the last part. Calypso's heart went to her as she could hear how heartbroken Piper sounds.

"I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding, Piper." Calypso walked to her, cautiously, since she didn't know if she was over stepping her boundaries. Piper turned to look her, in turn causing Calypso to stop walking, and put her hands around herself.

"Right? Jason's a good guy..." Calypso could hear the doubt in Piper's voice. Suddenly, Piper scoffed. "Look at me, getting upset in front of you. It's not like we like each other..." Those words were probably meant to hurt but Calypso could also hear the insecurity behind her voice.

"I like you, I like hanging out with you." Calypso stated.

"Why? All I do is glare at you, and what I said back in the infirmary...that wasn't cool of me. I wasn't in my right mind, with Leo and such. But I know it's not an excuse, I-" Calypso cuts Piper off.

"It's okay. You were just being protective of Leo."

"Maybe a bit too overprotective..." Piper mutters. Calypso giggles at that.

"Maybe. But it shows you care, maybe a bit too much." Calypso states. Piper smiles at her. "Think about it this way, we both deeply care for Leo, shouldn't that be enough?"

"Yeah," Piper nods, "Yeah, it is." Calypso smiles. "So, is Leo a good boyfriend?" Calypso freezes at the word "Boyfriend."

Leo and her have been "dating" for what seems a month. But they have never given each other the labels "Boyfriend" and "Girlfriend." They wanted to wait till after they deal with Zeus and Hera so that they could go on actual dates and see if the relationship would work. But even though they decided to wait, they still find each other doing "couple" things. Like holding hands, cuddling, kissing, LOTS of kissing. It has Calypso going for a loop on where they actually stand.

"Um, I can't really say if he is a good boyfriend, we're just trying things out." Calypso cringed at the obvious doubt in her voice. Piper made a face of realization.

"Well, I know that Leo really really cares about you. I mean, I've seen him have many crushes through out our friendship, but I've never seen him care for someone as he cares for you." At Piper's words Calypso couldn't help but blush.

"Thank you? I guess. I mean, I care about him too. I really do." Calypso smiled.

"Yeah, I can tell. I'm happy for both of you." Piper looked down at her hands, a melancholy smile on her face. She was probably thinking about Jason. Calypso put a hand on Piper's.

Calypso really hoped that Leo would be able to figure it out. She couldn't believe that Jason would steal those blueprints but yet it doesn't make sense as to why he would be ignoring them. It doesn't sound like something Jason would do.

"I'm sure that Leo will figure it out. Jason would not have stolen the blueprints. And I'm sure that Jason has got a good reason why he's been ignoring us. You." Piper took a shaky breath and nodded her head. Calypso smiled back at her and patted her hand in reassurance.

Calypso paced back and forth in the workshop with a hand on her chin, a million thoughts running through her head. It's been hours since Leo went to find Jason and he hasn't come back.

She tried to call and text him but he didn't answer, which only fueled her worry.

"He's fine. Him and Jason are probably talking right now. Boys always lose track of time." Piper said that but she looked as if she was trying to convince herself.

"Maybe we should go find them." Calypso offered. Piper nodded slowly and they left the workshop.

They walked around till it was night. They have checked everywhere, the cafeteria, their dorms, the library, they've asked people if they have seen them to which they said they don't know. By this point, Piper and Calypso were freaking out.

"Where the hell are they?" Calypso asked to herself.

"Maybe, they went out? Like a, an apology hang out?" Piper suggested, her hands visibly shaking.

"They would have told us-"

"Guys!" At the familiar voice of Percy Jackson, both Calypso and Piper turned to them.

"What's up, Percy?" Piper asked in a shaky voice. Calypso looked at Percy and saw his worried expression.

"Percy, what happened?" Calypso asked. He looked at her with a shaky expression.

"It's Jason." At those words, Piper clutched Calypso's hand. "Annabeth and I, we were coming back from a date and I needed to go to the bathroom. So I went and I found Jason knocked out on the floor."

"What?" Piper asked, "Where is he? Is he okay?"

"Was Leo with him?" Calypso asked. Percy coughed in what looked to be nervousness.

"He says that Leo was with him, but now we can't find him."

"Are you okay?" Piper said as soon as she saw Jason. Calypso saw that he was fine except for the bruise on the upside of his head. She looked around and saw Annabeth but not Leo.

It was taking everything right now for Calypso not to bombard Jason with questions about Leo. God only knows where he is right now and what he could be going through. Calypso wants to think that he got away or that he is hiding, but Leo isn't the type to leave Jason like that.

"I'm fine, Piper. I'm okay really." Piper put a hand on his cheek, Jason leaned into the touch. He grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles. "I'm sorry, I did it to protect you."

"Did what?"

"Ignore you guys. My dad confronted me about us going to Hera's office. He told me to stop getting myself involved with you guys or else. So, that's what I've been trying to do, but...clearly it didn't work." Jason looked down at his lap.

"Where is Leo, Jason?"

"I-I don't know. We went into the bathroom and then suddenly I was knocked out. I don't know what happened to Leo."

"Am I missing something? Why did you guys break into Hera's office? Why would Jason's dad tell him to stop hanging out with you guys? Who would try and hurt Leo and Jason?" Percy asked in confusion. Annabeth was next to him clutching his arm with thinking expression.

"It's complicated"
