You Found Me Male!Reader x Nico di Angelo x Will Solace

Chapter 10 (Reminiscence)

CHAPTER 10

Will asked me what I wanted to sing, and I thought about what happened today with me running away and how Nico and Jason found me, and how Will found about me and tried to help me. I decided to choose the first song that came to my head which turned out to be 'You Found Me' by The Fray. [The song is owned by whoever owns it, I assume The Fray own the song. I don't own the song.]

I told Will what I wanted to sing. He knew it and asked one of the other Apollo campers who could play piano to play the backing. I used to play piano but ever since.... I just never did, even though Chaos could have just made one.

The camper started to play me in.

[TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR ANGST AND DEATH]

"I found God on the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said where you been?
He said, ask anything"

I closed my eyes and just sang this song with everything I had, not even caring what people would say or think. It was just me and the music.

"Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
From the corner of First and Amistad"

I remembered all those cold nights. The feeling of the hate.

"Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me"

How much I wanted someone to find me? To tell me everything was going to be alright.

"In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not, and who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me"

How much I relied on her? The only thing I had. We found each other. I remembered how much I tried to find her when we were separated.

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me"

I remembered being alone for so long. I remembered that night, hearing the sound of someone in pain over the sound of the pouring rain. I remembered going to find out what was happening.

"Early morning
City breaks
I've been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never send me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want"

I remembered seeing her lifeless eyes as the man above her was drinking, no remorse over what he'd done. I remembered stepping in to fight him. I remembered the feeling of the knife going through my body.

"Lost and insecure

You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?"

I remembered dying on the floor, with nothing, no-one and no life at all. I remembered seeing someone giving me a hand. I remembered it all.

"Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Why'd you have to wait
To find me?
To find me?"

I remembered finding out that she couldn't come back. That she was gone. That only I could come back. I know the feeling of that every day. I know the feeling of waking up feeling empty. But maybe, maybe, it'll get better. Maybe Will could help me. Maybe the others could. Maybe somebody actually cared about me.

I came back to reality and opened my eyes.

Everyone was looking at me. Many had tears in their eyes. Many looked like they were about to cry. I felt tears running down my cheeks as I quietly sobbed.

A/N

I'm sorry for this chapter. I'm sorry if I made you sad. It made me sad but then again, I'm writing the story as I go at this point so I have an idea for what has happened to Y/N and what will happen in the future. Y/N is not happy ☹. I will do more stuff about this. Just I want to end this day and move back to more fluffy stuff for a bit before we get back to angst.

As always, please comment if you liked this chapter. Also, listening to the song while writing/reading makes it even sadder. Even if you guys aren't, this made me sad and it's nearly 4am so I don't want to start crying.
