I understand your point; Piper and Jason wanted to try to get their relationship for real. They tried, and they have feelings for each other. During the war, they were spent time together, they wanted to be together and try to make their Mist-trick-manipulation relationship as real, - but after war was ended finally, they (in that case, Piper) realized that, even if she and Jason have feelings for each other, even if he and she decided to make things for real, she understood that their relationship was based on a manipulation, it was specifically made by Hera and Aphrodite, by the goddesses who were playing with Jason's and Piper's minds and lives. Then after that realization, Piper decided to break up with Jason, even if she still loves him and Jason still loves him; Because she knew that even if their feelings are continue, the reason they fell for each other because of those Mist trick and false memories.

I mean, yes, Riordan decided to pair them and he did make them as couple, but that doesn't mean their relationship will continue forever. Every relationship can end because of something. In Jason and Piper's case, their relationship ended even they have feelings for each other; because of Piper finally realized that her mother aka Aphrodite and Hera were messing with their (Jason and Piper's) heads. After she finally and trully realized this truth, it's normal that she didn't want to continue this relationship- because she knew that it wasn't real and it was happened because of those manipulations and schemes.

I understand that you like Jasper, and you think that their relationship was developed during the books- but even if their relationship was developed- that doesn't mean that their relationship continues forever. During the second series they were together, but after war ended, well, they are not.
