Chapter Twenty-Three

My hands shook from the amount of caffeine that was running through my system. I sat in an empty room that my selection ceremony would be held in. I didn't know what time it was but it was early, I knew this because as I looked out of the window and saw the day break over the horizon. The view calmed me, as I saw the sun and felt it emerge and shine onto my face I couldn't help but think about Will. The way he always seemed to wake up in my bed even if he hadn't been there when I went to sleep. That curly, blond mop that ran so softly through my fingers. He was everything I could ever ask for and more, in my eyes he was so much more than just a demigod.
But as I saw his warm smile in my mind I couldn't help but also feel a twang of guilt as Geoffrey pushed his way in. What had I done? I'd given up everything I loved for these people!?
I turned by back to the window and laid my hands on the table I'd just been sitting on. I'd made a terrible mistake, I didn't love Ge. Heck, I didn't even like him! I began to tremble, and this time it wasn't the coffee. That's when his voice rang through the classroom
"It's okay." It was calm and quite and patient "I still love you!" I turned and saw him smile, it filled me up. It healed me in ways the spell caster and Environmentals never could
"Oh, Will!" I cried, striding towards him. He caught me in his arms and kissed me, just the way he used to to. His hands reached up and I felt his fingertips on my cheeks, his lips tasted like the strawberries at camp and my upper lip grazed the stubble that appeared if he'd been working all night. Once I'd pulled away I felt tears running down my cheeks, I dove my head into his shoulder and smiled through my tears.
"I love you so much, and I can never make it up to you how sorry I am." He held me, so tight I wished he would never let go.
"Nico?" I heard my name, the voice bitterly familiar. I my eyes opened and I saw Ge standing at the door, not coming in
"Oh thank goodness!" He rushed in after realising that it was me, engulfing me in a cold and empty hug
"Hi Ge" my voice was lifeless,
"We were so worried, Glen and I, when you didn't come back!" He tried to make eye contact but all I did was look out past him "anyways...so we were looking all over for you and then we bumped into Mr Lang who told us you'd be fine-" he carried on talking but all I could think was what a fool I was that I thought that Will would be here. "Uhm... Nico!?" Ge asked, waving a hand in front of my face "are we okay?"
"Yes, of course. Why?" I answered almost too quickly
"O-Kay." Ge said, looking at me quizzically "well are you coming to breakfast?" But I shook my head
"Okay well whatever." Ge left and I sat back on the desk and watched the sun come out over the horizon. And that was the last time I thought of Will Solace...

*/Authors Note\*
Okay so bit of a trippy and trolley chapter once again, but at least you got some solangelo and there's more where that came from!
Okay so I think we are about 10-15 chapters from when Will is really going to be in it. Which is going to make this a very long book but I hope you guys can stick with me!

Love you all
Until next time
