" -did this to you and with all you were already put through between Bianca and Tartarus and Pierce and.... and she had no right to do that to you, Nico. It was just so stupid and especially for her to do an to through with. Guess why that's the reason I broke up with her."

It was Percy.

What is he doing in my cabin?

At 4 in the morning?

" Wow. I don't even know why I'm here telling you all of this." The son of Poseidon goes on. " I guess I just feel a little...... protective over you? No, not protective. Maybe a bit... no. Wait.. yeah. I guess I feel like I'm responsible for you. I mean, after what's all happened why not? Just one more thing to worry about, you know. No biggie."

I turn on my side so I'm facing the rambling son of Poseidon.

" I didn't want to be woken up by a rambling demigod." I informed Percy who then turns around, noticing I was awake and he froze like in horror maybe. Seeing me awake.

" Oh." Percy looked down to the red floor after noticing me. " You were awake..."

" Yeah." I said. " Sit down, let's uh... Talk."

Yeah, not what I said. back to the real world here.

" Yeah." I told him. " Get out."

" It's four in the morning." Percy tells me.

" That sounds like your problem." I snap back as much as I didn't want to.

He looked at me and he looked almost puzzled.

" Where do I go?" Percy asked.

" I don't know." I am not a morning person, if you haven't noticed yet. " Olympus, Camp Jupiter, Maine, your mom's. Anywhere but in this room."

And the confused abandoned his face and was replaced with hurt and I felt horrible when I realized what I actually said to his face when I meant the actual opposite.

I hate myself.

" I see how it is, then." Percy told me. " Fine, I won't come back. Just don't come to me when you just want a talk."

" I wasn't planning on it." I said as Percy left my cabin. At around 8 the breakfast horn sounded and usually I wouldn't have gone. But honestly I felt to horrible to even consider.

And it didn't go unnoticed, either. What must've been after breakfast is when Jason Grace came into my cabin. Didn't even knock.

" Nico where were you at breakfast?" Jason asked as I turned around, facing him. I wasn't in the best of moods exactly.

" Here." I snap.

" Well you're rainbows of sunshine today." Jason said as he sat by me on my bed and turned back on my side so I wasn't facing him anymore.

" What's wrong?" Jason asked me.

" Everything." I answered.

" Oh, come on, Nekes," Jason said, nudging me with his elbow. " Annabeth and Percy broke up. What's really wrong?"

" Just leave me alone so I starve to death." I told him.

" No." Jason told me. " Percy looked horrible today and I know it wasn't because of Annabeth."

" And why would you come to me?" I asked the son of Jupiter.

" Because I saw the disappointment in him when he looked over to your table an saw you weren't there."

" He wouldn't care if I didn't show." I correct him. " You're lying."

" No, I'm not, Nico." Jason sounded upset. " What happened last night when he was here?"

" Nothing happened." I told him, just annoyed and wanting to die. " Just leave me alone, Jason."

" Fine." Jason said. " But if you don't show up for lunch I'll bring him, too."

" I really don't care." I said as I heard the door shut.

The next few hours was a blur until here comes Jason as I hear Percy with him.

" Where are you bringing me?" Percy asked. Probably blind folded.

" Okay, you can take it off now." Jason told the son of Poseidon and it was silent for a second and I could feel Percy staring down at me.

" No." I heard him say. " I have to go."

I remained silent, not saying a word. Just listening.

" Oh, no you don't." Jason spoke aloud. " I want to know what happened yesterday. Nico doesn't seem to want to talk."

" Why so you care?" Percy asked.

" Because I'm your guys's friend." Jason said. " And don't pretend to sleep, Nico. I know you're awake."

It was silent as I consider this. I don't want to talk. But I don't want to hurt Percy any more than I already have.

" And what's your concern of our friendship?" I asked, pissy and wanting to test if he'd actually say it in front of Percy.

" You know my concern." Jason answers me. And Percy must have his back to me. " Come on guys, just look at each other."

" No." Percy snapped.

And it was silent as Jason starts to figure something.

" Oh come on." The son of Jupiter said. " Don't feel responsible for him, too, Perce. If you do, it can't, and won't, end well. Trust me, I'd know. You don't have a reason to feel responsible for the son of Hades."

And Percy broke.

" You don't know that." Percy snapped. And it shocked me so bad I turn to see of I heard this right and sure enough I did. " You have no fucking clue about what goes on between Nico and I, okay? I have all the reason in the world to feel responsible for Nico. He's still a kid."

" Just because he went through Tartarus or in that jar doesn't make you responsible." Jason said. " And he's not a kid. That's the last thing he is."

" Like I said." Percy was calm now. " You have no idea. You think you know these things, Jason. But you can't assume. You're fucking clueless."

The son of Poseidon knew what he said, and he knew that there could be consequences with them. But I doubted that he cared. Because once that was said, he got up and left without another word.

Now you'd think Jason would go after him. But he didn't. he store at me and just watched me to go after him. I screwed up so badly.

He doesn't stop, just went straight to his cabin and so I knocked when he shut the door.

" Leave me alone, Jason!" Percy shouted through the door and it was loud so people did look for a second. Then went back to what ever.

" It's not Jason." I said as I hear the door unlock.

But he isn't realizing it was me and when he saw me it hurt. Both him and me.

" Nico." Percy was more than cautious when saying my name. " What are you doing here? Didn't you pretty much tell me to go and kill myself this morning?"

" I screwed up, okay." I told the 17 year old boy. " I didn't- I didn't mean what I said."

Percy looked down at his blue colored carpeted floor and back at me.

" Why do I believe you?" He asked me.

And with that he slammed the door in my face and as I rested my forearms on the door, now shut.

" Because I love you."
