Chapter Ten

Nico Di Angelo)

I woke up in the morning and got ready for everything like normal every other day an when I walked back to my room to get some clothes to change into I swear I was going crazy.

In the bed opposite of mine. Right there. Sleeping. Breathing. Was Bianca Di Angelo.

I changed as quick as I could and I ran over to Cabin 3. A lot of demigods were out so nobody paid attention which I was fine with.

Before I could knock the door flys open and there's Percy. A smile on his face as he saw me and for a second I almost forgot. It's not like I ever moved on. I mean, I never did move on from Percy. No. The feeling has only gotten stronger.

" You found her." Percy read my mind. For a second I forgot the bad inside him. How bad he felt towards himself. The cutting and self harm he does.

One second.

" How did you know what I was going to say?" I asked him.

" Well I found her last night." Percy explains. Seeming happy. " Brought her here. Put her somewhere I know you'd see her."

" Oh." I said and it made sense for something a Percy would do after all with his loyalty and all and how bad he had felt about her death. Sometimes worse than I did. " Uh, thanks than."

He smiled again and lightly punched me in the arm.

" No problem." Percy saw me. " But one question."

" Huh?" I said, motioning him to ask.

" Last year with Pierce." Percy like confused me a lot in just that. " Was that a lie or something...?"

" What?" I asked, not remembering why he'd ask me about the son of Ares that I seriously hate.

" Last year." Percy broke it down. " After Annabeth had beat you. And you had said 'His initials are PJ' and it was Pierce. Was that like a lie or like...?"

Oh, yeah. That. When I was that close to telling him but of corse he's an idiot. And guessed Pierce and not him.

" Oh. That." I said. And shrugged. " His initials are P.J. but it was never Pierce."

With that I walked to breakfast, leaving a lost in thought son of Poseidon and I joined the others at breakfast. The table rules don't apply anymore.

The weird thing was that Percy never showed up to breakfast. And that kind of scared me just a little.

So the day goes as normal and when he doesn't show up to any of the meals that day the others figured he was with his family but I knew better than that. He doesn't leave just like that. Plus I saw him earlier today.

Being Bianca spent campfire with Annabeth and Piper I decided to go off and see what was up with Percy.

Percy was in his cabin. Top bunk which he usually isn't in. Dangling his legs off the edge as he was deep in thought about something. Disappointed showed too much and I knew he cut within the hour from his arm. Wasn't wearing his sweater and it was fresh blood barely seeping through. He didn't notice when I walked into the room.

Tried imagining him smiling again like he did earlier that day and it was gone. I couldn't find it.

Percy laid down on the bunk, staring the ceiling and he recites.

" His initials are P.J." Percy said. So blind to the obvious." But it was never Pierce."

He'd get an idea. And the same one all the time.

" No, what am I kidding." Percy would always say. " It's impossible anyway ."

He hadn't left his cabin for about 4 days and nobody put a thought to it and on the fourth day I go just to find him a total wreck. And I dont think it was still because of he was curious about who I was into.

This was worse. Stuff was everywhere. Even razors which kind of scared me with a few having blood on them. He looked like he had insomnia of something. Anxiety and depression was feeding off of him. And adding to the insomnia.

He didn't notice me until I was right by him and actually spoke his name. He saw me and instantly just something inside him changed. Some form of sadness filled inside him.

" What?" Percy asked. And I didn't say a word. I just gave him a kiss.

Now okay, it was my first kiss. I will admit.

And I caught him off guard with it do he knew what was happening but couldn't really reply to it so when it was just short I wasn't hurt when he didn't kiss back exactly.

" His initials are P.J." I recite to the idiot child of Poseidon. " It was never Pierce. It was always you, Percy."
