The relationship between you two, didn’t end like you wanted. It came more from Piper, dating a girl and everyone knowing that wasn't on her plans of demigod, not when she was the daughter of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

Even when you were together, she enjoyed going to those little parties that Dionysus's kids always hosted at night, without the supervision of a god telling them what to and not to do. She hated the feeling of being judged by someone else, she was supposed to think of being perfect, not a flaw.*

But now, going to parties without you, it felt like a relief, deep down she wanted your arms around her waist, dancing with you again. If she missed you that much, in that way, why not bring you back?

But that seemed too late when she turned just to find that you were laughing and being so friendly with a boy... It hurt, even when she had been doing the same, but she never thought you could be so happy doing that.

The crowd kept moving, your laugh was the same. How could you look so perfect when she was deep down hurting? Obviously, Piper was questioning herself that, but she knew she was acting like she couldn't care less about you.

Maybe the jealousy of what could have been between you was getting her, she wanted to get to you, to talk to you, to be the reason your laugh filled her ears with such content.
