If you haven't seen the video above a) how are you a Nico fanperson and b) go watch it.

Will's PoV:

I laugh, and then everyone's laughing. I look to my right, and see Nico staring at me. He realizes that I saw him, and he turns red. This has been happening often. Either I catch him looking at me or he catches me looking at him. It's been the same silly game for the past two months. And I'm not sure if I hate it, or love it.

Maybe both.

Nico looks away. I look away. It's the same. I look back at everyone and notice Piper looking at me with an amused face. I shrug.

"So," Percy starts, "Anything important happening?"

Everyone shrugs, and I hear that nagging thought. My Birthday is in a few days.

My eyes widen when I realize that I'll be eighteen. Frank notices.

"Will, something important happening. .?" Frank asks.

"Um. ." Everyone stares at me. I cough awkwardly. "Nothing too important. . Just my Birthday, but uh. ."

"Will, are you kidding? Your Birthday is important!" Jason states. Everyone agrees.

"So, you're turning eighteen?" Calypso asks.

"Yeah."

"I can't believe you didn't tell us." Piper says.

"I didn't remember until now," I say.

"Sure," Leo says, and everyone laughs.

But I feel a voice missing. I look to my right, and but once again he's staring at me. This time, his face holds a different emotion, was that a little anger? He scowls and looks away, shaking his head and I can't help but feel a little hurt.

Why is he mad?

Nico's PoV:

He looks at me. I scowl, look away, shaking my head.

I can't believe he didn't tell me. He's one of my best friends, and he didn't even bother saying, "Oh hey Nico, my Birthday's coming up!"

He better not think for I second I believe that "I didn't remember until now." I know he remembered. I know him better then that.

"So Will, when is your birthday?" Reyna asks.

"Oh um, the nineteenth," Will says, and I can sense he's looking at me.

"Really, Will? Your birthday is in four days!" Annabeth exclaims.

"Yeah. ." He says.

Out of the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse at Will. He's still looking at me.

I feel my phone buzz. I get my phone from my pocket, and see who messaged me.

One new message from: Jason

I look up and see Jason looking at me, concerned.

J: you okay Neeks?
(4:34 pm)

I've gotten used to the nickname.

N: I'm fine Jason
(4:35 pm)
J: you don't seem fine
(4:35 pm)
J: do I need to kill someone
(4:35 pm)
N: No Jason
(4:36 pm)
N: I said I'm fine
(4:36 pm)
J: Err I'll leave you alone
(4:37 pm)
J: for now
(4:37 pm)
J: just so you know, I don't believe you.
(4:37 pm)

I roll my eyes.

Everyone's in their own conversations.

I look at Will, and he's looking at me. He raises an eyebrow questioningly at me, and I shrug.

But boy, he looks hot when he does that.

Wait, what?

I don't know why I care that he didn't tell me his Birthday was coming up.

I shouldn't.

I don't.

Do I?

"Hey guys, I think me and Calypso are gonna go," Leo says.

Everyone agrees to leave.

We all stand up, and Will grabs my shoulder. "Can I talk to you?" He asks quietly. I nod.

"You guys go ahead, we're gonna talk," Will says.

"Okay," Reyna says, winking at me.

They say bye, and next thing I know, it's just me and Will sitting at the table.

"Nico, what's going on?" He asks softly.

"Nothing," I say.

"Are you sure? You don't seem okay."

I sigh. "I'm fine, Will."

He eyes me suspiciously.

"Okay," He says.

I hear someone come inside. Wills eyes' widen, and he turns pale.

I look back to see what it was, and see the person.

Holding a gun.

Before I can react, I'm met with a loud bang and I fall to the floor with a thud. I hear a scream, but I don't know if it was mines, or Will's. Maybe both. He suddenly appears in my face, eyes wide and teary. He's yelling at someone.

"Aiutami. ." My voice is slurred.

I hear the door close again.

I see Will, his face wet with tears.

He gets up. I raise my arm, and that alone hurts. My eyes close, and when I open them, Will's in my face again, putting napkins on my chest.

It becomes harder and harder to keep my eyes open. They close slowly, and I hear him.

"Nico. Stay with me, please," He says.

My eyes open and Will's sobbing.

He. . He's crying. He's crying. He's crying because of me. Because he's scared. Scared to lose me.

I hear sirens, and decide if these are my last moments, I need to get it out.

"Will.." I say weakly. He looks up.

"I-"

"Oh Nico. I'm--"

"Shut it Solace." I cough. "These are my last dying words."

"No Nico, don't think like that," He says between sobs.

"As I was. ." I blink multiple times. "Saying.. I.. I like y-"

My words are cut off when my eyes close, and I'm enveloped in darkness.

Will's PoV:

"I. . I like y-" He stops talking, and his eyes close.

"No. No, Nico!" I shake his shoulders. "Please Nico. ."

The sirens get louder. I look at Nico's chest, and see more blood seeping through. If he keeps losing more blood. . I shake my head. Don't think like that.

I get up and rush to get more napkins. I get them and go back to Nico, and put them on his chest, trying desperately to stop the blood.

The door slams open.

Everything happens in a blur. I see them picking Nico up into a stretcher, I see them moving him inside the car, and then I don't seem him, and I want to, I want to, I want to. Someone comes in front of me and asks if I'm okay, if I saw the face of the person that shot Nico, if I need medical help. I ignore them. I just watched Nico get shot. I just watched Nico get shot. Those words keep replaying in my head. I blink, and the next thing I know I'm in a stretcher, being wheeled into a truck.

I just watched Nico get shot.

And I couldn't do anything about it.
