Quick! Hold My Hand!

Jason had watched Piper go inside, and he felt his chest tighten as her hips swayed, muscles flexing as she held the board. The look he saw her throw at Percy made him feel something different. He was exactly mad, but he was definitely upset. She was faking dating him, not Percy.

Then a thought came to his head. Maybe Piper was using Percy to get back at him. Was he that obvious? Obviously. A dumb idea came to his head. Annabeth’s lingering looks weren't innocent either.

No, he couldn’t do that. As soon as he did anything with Annabeth she would be cheating. And he would be too. This whole fake dating thing was getting confusing, especially when feelings got involved. Even though JAson’s brain was yelling at his legs to stop, he was walking over to Annabeth. She was sitting on the beach towel, carving into her small sandcastle.

“Hey.” Jason caught her attention, and Annabeth set down the little plastic carver. Her smile shone up at him, and she stood up.

“Hey.” They stood there for a moment, and Jason could’ve sworn she crossed her arm for the sole purpose of accentuating her chest.

“I was wondering if we could talk about something?” Jason asked, trying to create some stupid story incase things went way worse than planned.

“Sure. Let’s go inside.” Annabeth offered, tucking her hair behind her ear and walking in front of him. Jason followed her into the cabin and into her and Percy’s bedroom.

Okay, so Annabeth was on the same page.As soon as the door closer he was pushed up against it. Annabeth’s lips were on his momentarily.

Okay maybe a little faster.


Though, Jason couldn’t say he didn’t exactly enjoy it. Frankly, Annabeth was a good kisser. He also couldn’t lie about turning the tables so that she was against the wall. And he couldn’t deny that when she kissed his neck that he liked it. Or deny that his head was getting clouded and his logic was slipping.

Jason didn’t even realize that Annabeth was straddling him on the bed until she started grinding on him.

“Woah- Annabeth. Slow down.” Jason breathed, and Annabeth pulled back. She simply looked at him, her fingers in his hair.

“Okay.” She said quietly after a moment, “Too fast?” Annabeth asked, her hands on his shoulders now.

“More like not right.” Jason answered, and they were in silence again.


Annabeth got off of him and sat beside him. She wrung her hands and hung her head. A jagged breath left her.

“I’m sorry, I just- I haven’t been a good girlfriend at all- God.” Annabeth confided, looking upset, “I haven’t been- I shouldn’t have pulled you in here at all.” She shook her head violently, standing up.

“Hey, it’s alright. Just act like this never happened. They don’t have to know.” Jason offered, trying to comfort her. It must have been the wrong thing to say.

Annabeth began to cry softly, “He already knew. Last night we didn’t even share the bed. He went out to the couch until I woke up. The last time he did that- I- He chose to do that.” She covered her face.

Jason wrapped her in a hug, holding her while she tried to stop crying.

“I’m sorry that happened. Are you two not- you know..” Jason prompted and Annabeth let out an awkward laugh.

“I’ve been-uh- well I don’t know why I was ready for you but- nevermind.” Annabeth shook her head.

“Well he must’ve known something is up.”

“I’m going away for college next year, studying in Greece, but I was trying to make it less heartbreaking to go. I haven’t told him yet. He’s trying to be supportive but I can’t seem to let him.” Annabeth explained, her voice muffled by the hug.

“Oh. Well why won’t you? You don’t have to break up.” Jason tried to talk some sense into her.

Annabeth nodded a little bit, agreeing. “I know, but now he probably thinks I’m sleeping around but trying to hide it.”Jason had no idea what to do. It was a weird situation, but he couldn’t blame her. Annabeth wasn’t conventional. Then again her methods were immoral.

“You are. No offense.” Jason replied, blinking.

“Listen, thanks for, you know, listening. I'm gonna-” she simply turned and left the room, heading back outside. Jason leaned against the wall trying to figure out what just happened. Both anxiety and relief twisted in his gut, maybe he didn't ruin things with Piper completely.
