NICO POV:
Of coarse of all parks to go to he picks the one that was a known hang out spot for my old school. I saw a few familiar faces spread around but none of them would pay him any attention to me, hopefully. Well, even if they did we weren't friends or anything so it was unlikely they would try to talk to me.
"This is one of the best parks I know of for a picnic, they have a flower garden over there that we can set up in," Will said, excitement evident in his voice.
"Alright," I said plainly, helping Will carry a blanket over to where he mentioned. I caught a couple girls staring at me like they had just seen a ghost and prayed they wouldn't come talk to me.
After 5 minutes we finished our little setup and sat down.
"Here," Will handed me a turkey sandwich, "I cut off the crust because I know you would just pull it off anyways."
I couldn't help but half smile at him. "Thanks."
I ate about half of my sandwich, and meanwhile Will ate 3. I swear he eats more than my sisters old horse. We sat talking about nothing in particular for about an hour, Will kept trying to ask me more personal questions but I always managed to move around them easily. But of coarse, it didn't take long for things to go wrong.
"Look who it is," a deep menacing voice called from further behind Will and I. A cold shiver shot down my spine as I recognized the voice. Brennan Stawrt, a stupid name for a stupid guy. "A little birdie told me your back here."
I clenched my jaw as I stood up and turned to face him. He was with his little goons, Landon and Samantha.
"What do you want Stawrt," I spat, standing up as straight as possible.
"Uhh Nico? Who's this," Will said as he stood up next to me.
"Aweee does the little faggot have a boyfriend?" Brennan sneered, talking a step closer to Will. I instinctively stepped in front of Will which meant I was barley a foot away from Brennan. His friends laughed mockingly.
"Go away," I growled, clenching my fists. I saw Brennan's eyes flick down to my hands as he swallowed. I smirked confidently, knowing he was thinking of how I had sent his other friends(who coincidentally weren't here)to the hospital only a few months before.
"You haven't changed a bit," Landon sneered, stepping closer and glaring down his nose at me.
"You still haven't heard of toothpaste," I say snickering.
"Uh maybe we should go," Will stammered behind me.
"Awe sounds like your little boyfriends scared Di Angelo, maybe you should listen to him," Samatha spat, mock pouting in Wills direction.
"We're not going, but you are," I sneer, running my tongue over my top teeth in anger.
"Nico," Will whispered in my ear, "It's alright, we can leave." His voice was quavering slightly.
I felt oddly protective over him, which to anyone else might look strange seeing as Will is a foot taller than me.
"No, we were here first. They were just going," I say, sneering up at them all.
"Oh, but we just got here," Brennan said, sticking his lower lip out, "Didn't you miss us?"
"Sorry to say no, I didn't," my nose scrunching up mockingly. Will grabbed my arm and started to pull me away in the other direction but Brennan grabbed his arms and yanked it off of me. He pulled him down so hard he knocked Will to the ground.
"Keep your hands off him," I spat, jerking my self between them.
Will stood up slowly. "W-Were not looking for any trouble guys."
"Oh, but you came here with Di Angelo, trouble kinda follows him," Landon drawls, baring his teeth like he was a shark about to bite.
Will grabbed my hand. "Nico can we go?" Will murmured in my ear, squeezing my hand.
"Well this was a nice reunion, but I've got better things to do so see you in hell," I say pulling will right between them, purposely knocking into a Brennon.
"Your not going anywhere! I'm not done!" Brennon pushed Will to the side, and he hit the ground hard.
Then he threw a punch aimed rights at my face, which I blocked easily.
"Are you done now?" I say bordly.
He tried to punch me again but I blocked it and then using my other hand punched him right in the nose. Blood started gushing from nose as he stumbled back. Landon and Samantha ran towards me and both tried to punch me, but I just ducked under their fists. Landon tried to kicked me but I grabbed his foot and a pushed him back into a flower bed. Brennon ran towards me and tried to tackle me like a football player but I simply stepped out of the way at the last second. Samantha managed to punch me in the side of my face while I was watching Brennan stumble. I turned and punched her in the face, causing her to crumble to the ground.
"You little bitch," Brennan growled, wiping blood from his face. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Landon trying to sneak up behind me so I turned and kicked him right in the groin so he'd stay down for a bit. When I turned back around Brennan was pulling something from his pocket. He pulled it open and I realized it was a 3 inch butterfly knife. He smiled menacingly as he saw I noticed his blade.
"Oh we're using knives now," I say, rolling my eyes at him. I was contemplating pulling out the pocket knife I kept in my pocket but decided against it. When the police came, which was inevitable Ive already seen 5 woman running the other direction on there phones, if I pulled a knife too it would look worse on me.
"This is for Josh and Rejoice," Brennan growled storming at me and slashing his knife at me.
I dodged his movement and pushed him away from me.
"Nico!" Will yelled, pointing behind me. I turned just in time to see Landon about to hit me with his own knife. I saw Will start to run over to help.
"Stay back!" I yelled at him, as I grabbed Brennan's arm and twisted. He spun in midair over me and I felt his knife graze my forehead but I ignored it. He hit the ground with a loud thud and groaned. I heard police sirens wailing from the down the street and to the parking lot. Then Landon came storming at me and I grabbed his wrist twisting the knife from his fingers. I then kicked him back and he fell on top of an unconscious Samantha. I saw Brennan trying to stand up so I put my foot on his chest hard and he snapped his arm up lodging his knife into my calf. I somehow managed to not scream in pain but just took my heel and slammed it into his head knocking him out.
"Holy shit Nico!" Will yelled running over to me, followed by a few police officers.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," I groan out, trying to ignore the knife handle deep in my leg. Will helped me sit down on the grass, examining my face.
"Someone call an ambulance and bring me the first aid kit!" I heard a male officer yell as he knelt down next to me. "What happened here."
I opened my mouth to speak but Will beat me to it. "These guys just came over and attacked Nico."
"They're from my old school," I say, when I notice the officer looking at me for more information. The officer wrapped turnakit around my leg and pulled it tight.
"Don't pull out the knife, it could cause more damage," Will said.
The officer looked at him. "I wasn't planning on it."
After a couple more minutes of Will explaining what happened before the fight an ambulance pulled up.
