Hey guys Lettuce here! I wanted to take a break so I did. AndHey guys Lettuce here! I wanted to take a break so I did. And I wanted to write PJO instead. So, here it is!

Why.

That was the question running through Leo's head. Why did they never pay attention to him? Ever since the war ended(1) they weren't the same.

Percy and Annabeth were together 24/7. Piper and Jason did a bunch of stuff that he didn't want to know about. Same with Frank and Hazel. It was the same thing. Over and over. He got a home. He grew attached. He found a problem. He ran away. That was Leo's life cycle.

Tonight was a celebration for the official union of the Greek and Roman camps. Hooray,right? Not to Leo. It seemed like tonight was Ignore Leo Day.

/

"Hey! Percy! Annabeth! What's up?" Leo called. They were in the Pavilion at the celebration. Because Leo didn't want to look like a slob, he was wearing a plaid shirt, suspenders, a sort-of nice pair of jeans and cleaned work boots.

"Uh, hey Leo. Nothing really."Percy said. The couple started to glance at each other.

"Oh. Ok. Well, you guys seem busy, so I'll go somewhere else. But just holler if you want some Leo Time!" he smirked.

There it was again. His mask. He would hide his true feelings all the time. Like, when people asked him if he was ok, he so badly wanted to scream,'No. I'm not.' But he didn't. And that was what hurt so much.

/

Next Leo walked over to Frank and Hazel. They were chatting over by the food tables.

"Yo, Frank, Hazel! What's crackin'?" Leo said.

Hazel looked down to the ground. Frank looked around awkwardly.

"Um, well now's not a good time, Leo." Frank said.

"Yeah. Maybe we could talk later?" Hazel added on.

"Oh." Leo said with a slight frown. 'Remember your mask, Leo' he thought. "Ok. Well then see you later!" He smiled. He quickly walked away.

/

'Ok, If there are two people in this world that need or want me around, it's Jason and Piper. ' he thought to himself.

Piper and Jason were over by the campfire.

"Hey, Beauty Queen, Lightning Boy, what's going on?" He yelled with fake happiness.

The couple looked up and-was that a grimace?-waved nonchalantly.

"Hey Leo. Nothing much. What's,um, up with you?" Piper said glancing toward Jason.

Leo could see that his TWO SUPPOSED-TO-BE BEST FRIENDS

Didn't want him there.

"Just heading over to Bunker 9. I have a new invention I'm working on. I'll see you guys later." Leo said.

He quickly rushed off to Bunker 9. He didn't have a new invention. He just had a solo mission. Mission Run Away.

/

In Bunker 9, Leo had a year's worth of anything. Food, clothes, you name it.

He grabbed a magic backpack enchanted by the Hecate cabin especially for quests. Well now it's being used for a mission.

He stuffed a bunch of non perishable foods into the bag. He also put in all the fire proof clothes he had. He grabbed four handfuls of drachmas and 500 dollars. He put in a sleeping bag too. He was ready to go.

/

Leo quietly left the Bunker and left the forest. 'Everyone must be at the celebration.' He thought. He ran past the cabins all the way to Thaila's tree. Leo turned around to face camp. He always hated this part. Leaving the bonds he made. But, they didn't care about him right?

He turned around and left Camp Half-Blood. For good.

/

And so that concludes chapter one! I promise the Valdangelo will come in chapter two. I will post that soon, depending on soccer practice.

Anyways, I have a Reader's Question:

Who do you like better?

Leo

OR

Nico?

I will give results next chapter!

Well, please review!
