The Hope in Our Scars

"So how was it?" Leo asked, as he leaned back on the bench right outside the Hephaestus cabin.
"Weird, unsuspecting, and well...confusing," I replied, sipping onto my coca cola from the drink bar near the tables.
"Creepy old lady's soul must be doing some damage to poor Rachel then," he said. "Well...Holy Hephaestus!"
He looked up, and his eyes grew wide. "What are you doing here?"
I ended up standing up and looked where Leo was standing.
There, a girl about our age, with auburn hair and a white chiton walked over to us, with a gorgeous grin.
"Hey Leo," she said, her voice reflecting the beauty of her reflection.
"Oh sunshine, it's been forever, since-" Leo let the girl jump into his arms, and twirled her. I stood in utter shock and then confusion. Sunshine, I've heard that...
"Oh," said the girl. "Leo, whose that? Your friend?"
I winced at the word friend.
Leo grinned and dragged me over to his long time no see friend. "Yeah, Calypso, meet Lilac. Lilac, this is Calypso. She...uh now that you mention it...we used to date."
My eyes widened but I didn't reply. Oh, was all I thought. Of course Leo would've dated someone before me. How stupid to think I was the only one? After all, ever since we dated it only seemed as if I were the amateur in our relationship...
"Used to be? How about now?" Calypso asked, touching Leo's hair with her perfect thin hands.
I wanted to slap her across the face.
"Um actually, sunshine. I've moved on," Leo said quietly. "Lily and I, well, we've been dating for a few months now."
"Oh,' was all Calypso said. Oh as if she hadn't even thought that I were even a big part of his life, as if she were still his boyfriend after all those months when she hasn't seen him. How dare she?
"Calypso," I smiled. "What a beautiful name."
Calypso flashed me a modest smile. "Oh, Lily. Why thank you. Although, I think my name is a bit of the exotic one, don't you think so?"
Crap. Attractive and nice.
"Well, Lily," Leo said speeding it up. Glancing at my glare, and pretty much deciding this was a great time to wrap things up. "Well Chiron and Mr. D will want to fill you in, so well I think you should be going."
"Well aren't you going to take me?" Calypso asked. Well, aren't you coming to bed with me?
Was all I could think of.
Leo gave her a smile. "It's alright, sunshine. The Big House is just a couple of kilometers away. Just keep going straight and make a right."
"Thanks Valdez," Calyps grinned. "And I hope to see you guys again soon."
After she left, I gave Leo a long stare.
"Lily, I know-"
But I didn't want to hear it anymore. "I'm done with you and your other group of well mannered, attractive sluts!" I yelled at him.
Tears began to well in my eyes. I thought I was his true love. Was I just one of his true loves? Am I even his true love?
I brushed past him, and began storming away to whereever my tears were calling me.
I didn't want to be with him when I might not even be the right person for me. And I was pretty sure he felt the same about me.
