Whoa. FLASHBACK.

On this day, 365 days ago, I had posted the first chapter of Mixed Feelings. I was nervous, scared, and never thought of the fact that I might get more than 30 reviews.

But guess what?

WE GOT 557!

Happy Anniversary Mixed Feelings! I hope you all like this extra special bonus chapter I put up :D

Jason's POV

"Jason, chill out. You'll be okay," Grover tried to calm me down.

"How the hell am I supposed to calm down?! It's our first date!" I panic.

"If you chill out, it'll be okay. Piper's excited, from what I hear from Hazel," Frank mentions.

I roll my eyes. "Great. So if I mess up, I'll crush her dreams and hopes. Thanks, Frank. Really. Thanks."

Frank frowns and scratches his head. "That was supposed to calm you down."

Leo groans and runs a finger through his curly hair. "Dude, chill out. You'll be fine. When I asked Piper out, I was also pretty nervous, but the evening was actually-"

"Please don't remind me that you went out with my girlfriend," I glare at him pointedly. He raises his hands up in surrender. "Sorry, man, didn't mean to make you all jealous."

I narrow my eyes. "I'm not jealous."

"Sure."

Percy sighs. "Shut up, all of you. Jason, where are you taking her anyway?"

I scoff. "I'm not telling you! You'll tell Annabeth everything and then she'll obviously tell Piper!"

"No I won't!"

"Yeah, you will," Leo snickers. "You're whipped."

"Right. Because I was the one who helped Calypso pick out a bra in Victoria's Secret at the mall the other day," Percy retorts.

Leo widens his eyes. "Dude, that was confidential!"

"Too bad."

"Well, whatever. It was definitely fun seeing Calypso half naked."

"Can you guys focus?!" I practically screamed.

"On what?" Frank asks.

"I need help! This is our first date together! It's taken me two years to even admit to her face that I love her."

"Actually, she's the one who made the first move," Grover pipes up.

One glare from me shuts him up.

"Look, I just need to make sure everything goes perfect," I sigh.

Percy scoffs. "I'm the most romantic guy out of all of these idiots. You should ask ME for help."

Leo rolls his eyes. "Well, I'm the one who dated Piper-"

"Leo, do you want me to rearrange your face?!" I warn him again.

Leo finally shuts up.

Percy stares at me. "Okay, look. The key is confidence. If you show a hint of vulnerability, the whole date will be a disaster. Just remember your past girlfriends. What did they like?"

I furrow my eyebrows. "Well, they weren't always actual dates. Except for Drew and Reyna, but they're completely opposite from Piper. The other girls...well, all we did was make out in my car or whatever."

"Pig," Grover mutters.

"Goat," I shot back.

"Okay, so just be prepared. Show her special stuff. Hold her hand, kiss her in public, all that shit. Don't be too weird. And don't get too physical because then she'll think all you want from her is sex. Oh, and make sure you pay the bill. Be a gentleman."

"Alright, got it," I nod.

"Hey, you should also compliment her," Frank adds.

"Oh, and don't flirt with other girls," Leo points out.

I narrow my eyes. "I won't."

"You did at Thalia's wedding."

"What?! No I didn't!"

Leo nods. "Yeah you did. Piper told Calypso and Calypso told me."

"Seriously, man. If you keep flirting with other girls, she'll break up with you," Grover sighs.

I clench my fists. "No, she won't. Now shut up and tell me everything about first dates."

After I got ready, I quickly texted Piper that I was coming and told her to be prepared. I walked out to my car and admired the night sky. I hope she likes our first date.

I drive to her house and park my car in the driveway. I miss living with her. But then again, if I kept living with her, I'd probably always get nervous and anxious. She makes these butterflies always appear in my stomach. God, I sound like a girl.

Soon, Tristan opens the door and gives me a big grin. "Jason, my boy! I heard that you're taking Piper out on a date."

I grin back. "Yeah, I am. Is she there?"

"Yeah, she'll be here in a minute or so. Anyway, I guess it's time to interrogate you."

"Huh?"

Tristan's expression changes into a serious and threatening one. "Now, listen. I expect you to be a gentleman. I know about your reputation."

I widen my eyes. Oh shit.

"If you dare knock my daughter up, I'll go all Godzilla on you. Don't. Make. Babies."

Did he just tell me not to get Piper pregnant?

I turn red. "I won't."

"You won't what?"

"I won't knock her up."

"Good. Now, just in case, if you just can't resist, I'm going to give you this. I expect you to make no mistakes." Tristan suddenly reaches into his pocket.

To my shock and astonishment, he pulls out five condoms. I widen my eyes as he hands them to me.

"Sir, it's okay. We won't be needing those," I quickly tell him.

Tristan rolls his eyes. "Son, I was a teenage boy once. Your hormones are raging. Just take them. Just in case."

"Tristan, no, I really don't need them."

"Take them!"

"We won't be using them! It's our FIRST date!"

"So?!"

"Hey, Jason, you're - Dad? What's that? Are those...condoms?"

We both look up to see Piper behind us and staring at us while Tristan is handing me condoms and I'm raising my hands up in surrender.

We stay in silence for a moment before Piper sighs. "Oh my God. My life will never be normal. Let's go, Jason."

I nod and quickly walk out.

"But the condoms! Don't knock my daughter up!" Tristan yells behind me.

Piper shuts the door and quickly runs up to me. "Did he just tell you not to knock me up?"

I nod. "Yeah."

She sighs. "Great. Let's go."

I suddenly remember what I need to say to her. "You look gorgeous."

Piper blushes. "Thanks. Now hurry up, and let's go before my dad starts asking me if I want birth control shots."

"So, this is our date, huh?" Piper smiles.

I smile back. "Yeah. But you're so gonna lose."

"Bring it on," she challenges.

I brought her to the bowling alley. I wasn't sure what she'd like but I remembered that she told me when we were at her house, after we started dating, that she wanted to go bowling. So, I brought her.

"Let me go get our shoes. What's your size?"

"Seven."

"Alright, wait here."

"Okay," she nods.

Once I go pick up our shoes, I start to think of my old worries. I was so stupid. Nothing can go wrong. It's just Piper. We love each other, and that's that.

After picking up the shoes, I go back to where Piper's standing, looking through her phone at something.

Suddenly, my boyfriend senses start tingling.

I turn my head around to see a group of guys staring openly at Piper and grinning, while nudging the guy in the middle. The guy turns red and laughs at them to knock it off while licking his lips as he stares at my girlfriend.

Hell no.

I walk up to Piper and she looks up and smiles at me. "Hey, did you get the shoes?" she asks.

I smile back at her, hoping that the fuckers see. "Yeah, I did. Here you go, Pipes."

"Alright then, Sparky." Piper grabs the shoes from me and quickly slips off her sneakers and puts on her bowling shoes, while I do the same. I discreetly peek at the guys who were staring at my girlfriend. They're still staring but the guy in the middle is glaring at me. I glare back before turning to Piper with a wide smile.

"Let's go," I whisper, leaning in. She blushes at our close proximity. I smile and peck her lips, knowing that the guys are watching.

She blushes again once I pull away and I hold out my hand for her to come. We walk to where the balls are and grab them. I peek at the guys again who are still staring and glaring at me at the same time. I clench my jaw and turn back to Piper, and discreetly put my hand inside her back pocket, squeezing her butt.

Piper just rolls her eyes playfully and turns around to me. "Jason."

I grin at her, forgetting about the assholes for a moment. "Yes?" I ask, squeezing her butt tighter.

She yelps and I laugh before she cuts me off with a kiss. I grin against her lips and kiss her back, taking my hand out of her pocket and moving both of my hands to her waist.

Once she pulls away, she whispers to me, "You're cute when you're jealous."

I widen my eyes. "What? I'm not jealous, why would I be jealous?"

Piper giggles. "Um, Sparky? You were giving those guys 'The Look'."

"The Look?"

"The same one you gave Dylan before we started dating."

I shrug. "I'm just telling them that you're mine. The fucker in the middle was about to come and ask for your number. I know it."

"Then I'd tell him no. I love you, remember?"

"Hmm, I actually don't remember. Care to refresh my memory?"

And that's how we started kissing for two minutes before we decided to finally start bowling.

She beat me, of course.

But afterwards, we went to go grab pizza. And after we ate, we sat in my car and pretty much started making out. But not like how I used to with all those other girls.

Because this time, it was with Piper.

And Piper is different, no matter how cliche that sounds.

Needless to say, it was the best date ever.

I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! I'm sorry, I wanted to make it longer and include Piper's POV but then I was like "Jason's POV is funny though."

So yeah, thank you guys so much! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MIXED FEELINGS AGAIN!

Love you all! DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! I really want to hear your thoughts on this!

Thanks for reading! xx
