Chapter 8: Poor Ryan and Happy Frank

HeroesOfOlympus
Heyyy y'all! HeroesOfOlympus here! First of all, before I start thank you for the amazing amount of views! 1,000+ views!!! Also, for all those that were reading my story, 'The ABC's of Percabeth' you would know I cancelled the story. Sorry but I'm not really good at mushy mushy stuff. But I do have an idea for a new story that's a prank war between the Stolls and Percy. I'm not a 100% sure whether people will like reading it so tell me in the comments below if the story will sound interesting. I know, I'm going on and on again. So... On with Chapter 8!!!

Chapter 8

Jason's P.O.V
I lost to Percy. Again. Seriously, I feel something bubbling inside of me ever since I met him. Luckily, I don't feel that feeling that often anymore. Unless he beats me in anything, even an eating competition. I realised what that feeling was after the Giant war.

I, Jason Grace, Son of Jupiter was jealous of Percy Jackson. When I was at Camp Half Blood, the campers were always comparing me to Percy and I was so sick of it. I tried to control the jealousy.

Percy was my friend! Friends don't get jealous at their friends.
Right?

But I was jealous. My jealousy was so extreme that the first day on the Argo ll, I actually crept into his room, getting my imperial gold spear out.

I actually almost killed him. Luckily, Piper was passing by Percy's room that second. When she saw what I was about to do, she quickly dragged me out of Percy's room into her room. She gave me a scolding and asked me why I did that. I told her the reason.

I was jealous.

That horrible, vile creature inside of me, called jealousy, almost had a life killed. No doubt Piper thought I was a monster that day. But whenever I got jealous of Percy, I breathed steadily and remembered Piper's words:

"Friends don't get that jealous of friends. Family don't get jealous of family. Family means sticking by your family through thick and thin. Jealous of your friend? Horrible. Jealous of you family? Then you aren't really family. You are lying to that person."

I didn't want to be jealous of Percy. I really didn't. But think about it. Percy was the definition of hero. He was strong, caring, humble, funny and always sacrificed himself for his family.

Don't forget his looks. When I first met him, I thought he was a thief. Stealing my praetor role and my friends. He was shorter than me and looked like a little shrimp compared to me.

However after the Giant War, he grew to a shooting height of 7ft. He trained so much that he developed bulging muscles. Not the type of muscles that make people puke but like male model muscles. His windswept raven black hair made him look like a superhero from the ocean. And his eyes. His shimmering emerald green eyes. How could anyone have such beautiful eyes. When he was angry, you could see a hurricane in those eyes. When he was sad, it was an ocean with small polluted waves. When he was happy, they sparkled like diamonds and you could see calm waves and a sunset. I'm not gay but he looked hot, coming from a blonde superman.

As I plopped down on a seat next to Percy, he gave me a grin, his pearl white teeth sparkling before continuing to talk to Nico and Will.

I nodded at him, a smile on my face. Piper cuddled closer to me and I hugged her tightly. I was playing with her hand when I was snapped out of reality when Apollo announced the next contestant.

"Frank Zhang! You're up next. What hidden talents do you have?" Frank was flashed in the middle of the stage as Apollo bombarded him with questions.

Frank blushed many shades of red before saying, "I can sing and play the piano..." Suddenly, a grand piano appeared in front of Apollo.

It was a beautiful transparent piano and you could see what was inside the piano. Percy stared at it with wide eyes and began tapping his thighs. I looked curiously at him before focusing my attention back on Frank.

Frank's mouth was wide open and he gently sat on the chair. He slid his shaky hands over the keys and he took a deep breath, turning towards Apollo, saying, "I would like to sing Jealous by Nick Jonas. This is for you Hazel. I love you,"

Aphrodite and her kids swooned as Hazel blushed as red as a tomato but her gold eyes still stayed focused on Frank. She gave him an encouraging sweet smile and Frank began to sing while playing the piano.

His voice was deep and rich as he sang. He couldn't sing all the high pitch parts of the song, which was expected. Nonetheless, Hazel had a huge smile on her face and a sparkle in her golden-brown eyes.

As Frank sang, "I'm puffing my chest. I'm getting ready to face you, just call me upset." The screen showed a flashback from Frank's view.

-FLASHBACK-

Frank's P.O.V
I shot Ryan a glare from far away as he flirted with Hazel. He looked at me for a second before continuing to flirt with Hazel.

Hazel who was completely oblivious to his flirting, smiled politely while nodding her head along to what ever he was saying. It wasn't her fault since she grew up in the 1900 where nobody flirted.

Ryan flashed her a grin and kissed her hand before walking away. Hazel walked up to me but I didn't notice since I was burning with anger.

As she reached me, she pecked me on the lips and gave a sweet smile. "Hey Frank. Sorry I'm late. Ryan was talking to me about horses and one thing led to another, we were talking about everyday things!" She noticed my angry demeanour and furrowed her brows. She gently touched me on the arm, "Are you okay Frank?"

I pecked her on her forehead and just nodded before leading her towards a bench. I sat down with her on the bench.

Sighing, I turned to her and looked her in the eye. Hazel was beautiful. She always did and had been but suddenly after the Giant wars, boys in Camp Jupiter were all flirting to chasing after her, especially Ryan.

The other boys instantly stopped flirting and chasing after Hazel when I had a little chat with them but Ryan, he was a difficult one. Even when I shot him a glare, he either waved me off or totally ignored me. To put it simply, I was jealous.

Ryan may not be the praetor of New Rome but he had more qualities in common with Hazel. Hazel gave me a tight hug before looking up to me with her big gold eyes. "Seriously Frank, what's wrong?"

I had to tell her. Maybe she did know that Ryan was flirting with her or maybe... Stop, Frank. She's Hazel, plus she's you're girlfriend. She'd never cheat on you. I scolded myself before sprouting out, "Do you like Ryan?"

She looked surprised by my question but nonetheless, she answered, "Yes. He's a nice guy, he told me about this horse racing competition that's coming up..." Hazel babbled on and on but I wasn't listening.

Hazel liked Ryan. Ryan liked Hazel. I'm in the way of their relationship. Ryan was much better than me.

I felt tears well up in my eyes but I managed to keep them all in. Except for one.

That one darn tear rolled down my cheek and Hazel instantly stopped. I was very unemotional these days after I was elected Praetor. I never allowed my tears to flow down or show my frustration but I had enough.

I wiped the tear off my cheek. Before Hazel could say anything, I held her hands. "Do you like Ryan?" I repeated once again.

She looked confused but she still nodded. I let go off her hands and gave her the last kiss from me on the lips. She was caught off guard but she deepened the kiss as she flung her arms around me.

I let go of her and got off the bench. Hazel gave me a confused look and tried to reach for my hand but I pulled away.

"Frank?" She muttered.

"Goodbye Hazel..." I sniffed but before I could run off, Hazel grabbed my hand and tightened her grip. "Frank, what do you mean by goodbye?"

She seemed puzzled. I averted her gaze but answered, "I mean, goodbye Hazel. I won't get in the way of your new relationship with Ryan." Her mouth hung open, her eyes widening. I would have laughed at her and called her a goldfish but this was weird.

Weren't they both in a relationship? She realised how she looked and recomposed her posture before giggling. What was so funny? We were going to break up.

She continued laughing and I had enough so I shouted out loudly with anger and confusion heard in my voice. She immediately stopped laughing and gently took my hand. She looked up at me as she stroked my cheek.

"Frank, I will never leave you. Even if the whole world is against our relationship, I would never break up with you," she whispered.

In excitement and relief, I cupped her face and smashed my lips onto hers. I quickly realised I may have been too rough with her and quickly softened the kiss. She happily obliged.

After a while, as decided to go to a café for lunch. As we sat down and started chatting at the café, Ryan barged into the café winking and flirting shamelessly at many women but they all seemed disgusted by him.

Hazel looked a bit disgusted herself which was different than usual. Usually she would smile and wave him over but I think she's finally seeing him for his true colours. Hazel gave my hand a squeeze and I nodded.

Ryan approached our table and took a chair before sitting really close to Hazel. I was boiling mad and wanted to punch Ryan's guts out but Hazel winked at me with mischief in her eyes.

Whenever Hazel feels mischievous, it means run. Hazel could be as evil as the Stolls when she's pranking. She batted her eyelashes and started flirting with Ryan as he sat there, cockily flirting back.

My mouth was wide open. How can Hazel flirt? She's from the 1900's. She noticed me looking shocked and mouthed, 'Piper taught me just in case'. I nodded my head uncertainly.

After 30 minutes of flirting, Ryan started leaning in towards Hazel for a kiss. I was about to pounce out of my seat and change into a tiger but Hazel kneed him hard where the sun doesn't shine.

He yowled in pain and shrieked like a small girl as Hazel got up and punched Ryan in the jaw. For good measures, I got up and started throwing punch after punch at him. After he looked very sore and bruise and couldn't stand up, I whispered deadly at him, "Last warning, stay away from MY Hazel or you'll be sorry. Let's just say a lion will be involved..."

He gulped and I took Hazel's hand gently before paying the café waitress an extra amount of drachmas. We took a few steps before Hazel frowned and turned to me.

"You own me?!?!" She repeated angrily and I dashed off as she chased after me while screaming, "FRANK!"

-FLASHBACK END-

Hazel's P.O.V
As Frank finished the song, everyone marveled at how good his voice was and his piano skills. Everyone cheered loudly for Frank as he blushed and humbly bowed.

I couldn't contain my excitement and ran towards Frank, tackling him in a hug so tight, he couldn't breathe. "That was great Frank! I never knew you could sing or play the piano!" I gushed while Frank pecked me on the nose.

Giggling, I wrapped my arms around him and looked him in the eyes. "You are mine Frank Zhang. Mine." I stated as he nodded his head. "I am yours," Frank cheesily answered back before lifting me up into his arms, bridle style.

Everyone wolf whistled as we kissed deeply, my hands around Frank's neck. He carried me back to my seat and sat me down on his lap. Our noses touched and at the corner of my eye, I saw Percy getting up his seat, storming towards Ryan.

Percy's P.O.V (Wanted to end here but decided to do a little extra)
After Frank and Hazel sat down, I got off my seat and told Annabeth I had some unsettled business to do with a certain someone.

She immediately understood.

I marched towards Ryan, rage bubbling inside of me. Frank was like my little, grown too big, brother.

I lifted Ryan up by his collar and in a calm yet deadly tone that carried across the throne room. "You are a despicable person. No, not even a person. You're a monster, shamelessly doing whatever you want..."

Everyone instantly stopped what they were doing and waited for what I was going to do. I punched Ryan hard in the jaw and heard a satisfying crack sound. I kneed him where the sun doesn't shine and dropped him on the floor.

Instantly, everyone started cheering for me with some occasional sentences from Ryan's exs':

"Thank the gods Percy punched him! I can't believe I used to date that cheater!"

"Finally! That guy kept flirting with my girlfriend!"

"Ryan was such a Zeus, always cheating on every girlfriend he had!"

The comments went on and on. I could tell the Apollo Kids from Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter didn't like him as well since no one helped to heal him.

Even his own father, who was Ares, just rolled his eyes at his son and grudgingly nodded a thanks to me. As I sat back on my seat, Annabeth grabbed my hand and asked, "Do you think you were a little bit too mean?"

I kissed Annabeth on the nose which made her giggle and held her hands. "Wise girl, that wasn't even considered mean yet," She raised and eyebrow and kissed my cheek. "I know Seaweed Brain," she muttered before we turned out attention back to Apollo, who was announcing the next contestant.

And, CUT! Okay guys/girls/demigods, that is a wrap for Charter 8? 7? Wait, it's Chapter 8. I'm sorry I haven't updated for a while by the way. My phone is still on the shop, being repaired. It'll probably be fixed by the end of the month. Hephaestus hand grenades! I'm late for dinner, my mum is gonna kill me. Okay, see you all in Chapter 9!
Peace Out,
HeroesOfOlympus

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD. I love the concept and your writing is really good as well! I love diving deeper into Percy's character and revealing more of his past. You're doing an amazing job! I'd say a sequel to this would be cool but it depends on how this ends. Thanks so much and can't wait to see what's next!
