Broken {Completed}

Chapter 16

Percy

Slamming open the door to Ashley's hospital door might've not been one of the best ideas. For one thing, the poor girl almost had a heart attack. And another, Percy almost hit a nurse in the face. "P-Percy!" Ashley squeaked out her face bruised on her right side. "Holy shit bruh, you look like you got hit by a car." Allison chocked out staring at her. "Uh... Sis?" "She did." The Stoll's pointed out. "Oh. Derp." Percy stared, emotions welling up, anger, pain, protectiveness, anything that involved screwing Will until he was beating until his brains fell out of his eye sockets. Speaking of which, were was that son of a bitch... "Perce." Nico yelled out grabbing Percy's arm. He blinked and turned to his boyfriend. "What?" He asked confused as Nico sighed. "You look like you were gonna beat the first person you saw. Seriously, Prince calm down." Percy gave a light blush at 'Prince'. From the hospital bed Ashley giggled. "This is probably the best day ever. Minus the car wreck." she smiled as Javier yelled out, who by the way just walked in, "Your insane you know that?! You get hit by a car and all you can think about is your OTP." He gave a huff as Allison burst out laughing. "How are you not surprised?" Ashley asked raising a brow. Perseus let out a laugh and kissed Ashley's forehead. "Your day is about to get even better, how do you say it? Oh right, your ship finally sailed." The hospitalized girl squealed and let out a soft 'ow'. "Stupid arm! Let me Fangirl in peace!" She yelled to apparently her right arm. Thalia smirked and folded her arms. "Jackson, I completely approve of your ship." Percy didn't know which Jackson she was referring to. Which was probably the both of them.

The way home wasn't any better. Percy decided to hit the cafe, alone. Nico begged him to come back home but Percy refused. He assured the dark boy that he'd be alright, not to worry if Percy didn't answer his phone. Perseus hated to fact of pushing Nico away, but he knew better. His emotions go haywire, and lashing out at Nico wouldn't help anyone. Even if Nico could somehow calm him down, it would end up a mistake the next morning. When the sea Prince opened the door to Starbucks, he ordered himself a pastry and coffee. Sitting at a table with his sugary drink and cookie, he sighed to himself wondering how his life ended up to were it was. Would things have been better if he wasn't gay? If he was into girls? Maybe if he never kissed- Percy's attention was snapped from his thoughts to the door. A certain blond boy walked in and toke a seat in front of him. "What do you want Solance?" Perseus hissed glaring at the blond. But his anger soon dissolved as soon as it came. His sea green eyes widen, the sight of the blond boy was... was pitiful. Will's right eye was a deep purple, he had gotten stitches on his arms and forehead, a cast on his right arm, and his forehead had a dark bruise. "Solance...." Percy breathed as the blond gave a sad smile. "I tried to protect her you know, we might hate each other and all. But nothing is more important than someone's life." Will smiled staring at Percy with an apologetic look. Percy stared, stunned and guilty. "Are you gonna be ok?" He asked as Will shrugged. "I'll be fine Jackson. How is your sister? I wasn't exactly fair storming out of the hospital when I was finished..." he muttered. Percy sighed and set a hand on Will's. "She's fine Solance." The silence filled the air. Until a certain question surfaced Percy's mind. "Solance... what's with you and Octavian?" He asked as the blond looked up confused. "You mean relationship wise?" He inquired as Percy nodded sheepishly. "Well for starters, we aren't together. I mean, it'd be nice but no. Believe it or not Jackson, he still has feelings for you." Will stated folding his arms. Percy blushed and fiddled with his thumbs. "Yeah I got that." he muttered. The blond smiled warmly, and laughed. "I can see why though... Man... Nicolas is a lucky guy." Percy smiled and shrugged. "I guess he is."

When Percy got home, he was somewhat greeted by his boyfriend who was laying on the couch watching Thor. "Uh.... hi?" Nico squeaked out from the pillow. Percy gave out a fake gasp and pointed to the screen. "How could you!? Cheating on me with Loki!" Nico gave out a full hearted laughed, which cause him to roll off the couch onto the ground. A faint ow could be heard from the ground. Perseus let out soft chuckled and walked over to the fallen boy. "Peeeeeeeerrrrrcy..." Nico whined holding his hands up like a child. "What do you want your highness?" Percy mocked snickering a bit. "Cuddle with me." "Is that a command?" Percy asked with an eye brow raised. Nico huffed, sitting on his knees a hand on his hip, "Perseus Jackson, I command thee to fucking cuddle with the Ghost King!" Perseus snickered and picked Nico up from the floor. "Yes, your sassiness." As they cuddled on the warm couch, watching Thor and sarcastic remarks about how Loki is nowhere near as sassy as Percy's ghost King, Nico caught Percy off guard with a kiss. To which Percy happily accepted. As the kissed got a bit more 'heated', a knock at the door ruined the beautiful gay moment. Nico scowled as Percy pulled away. "Calm down death breath." Percy joked and giggled at Nico's reaction to death breath. "My breath doesn't stink!" He retorted. When Percy opened the door, he was tackled by a bear hug. "Seaweed Brain!!!!" Squealed a voice Percy could only hear from a computer. "Holy Hera!!! Annie!" Percy cried hugging her back. "Jesus Annie. Let the poor guy breath." said another voice. "No way!" Percy screamed excited 'casually' pushing Annabeth off him. "Luke!" Percy gushed hugging the taller blond tight. "Hey sea monster." Luke laughed ruffling Percy's hair. "I can't- oh my gods! I thought I wouldn't be able to see you guys until Christmas!" He smiled as Annie got up from the ground fixing her NY cap. "Well, we got a week off from Cam- I mean school." She said correcting herself. Luke nodded and snickered. "Don't be shy little one. Perseus you didn't tell us you had a boyfriend." Nico sat on the couch, embarrassed from being noticed. "Luke, I believe you owe me 20 dollars." Annie smiled as the blond handed her 20 dollars. "You and your smart ass." Luke rolled his eyes at her, as Annabeth turned away probably blushing. "This is my Ghost King, Nico Di Angelo." Percy smiled walking over to Nico. "I can introduce myself Jackson." Nico sassed. "Oh a sassy one? That's new." The blond snickered. Percy scowled, a blush appearing. "New one?" Nico asked as Percy rolled his eyes. "Nevermind that Neeks. He's just jealous cause I have a boyfriend." Luke rolled his eyes too and put his arm around Annie. "At least I have Wise Girl." "Luke, your cabin isn't really next to mine, that doesn't really count." Annabeth stated as the blond boy covered her mouth, "Haha what are you talking about Annie? Your crazy." Luke laughed uneasy. Percy rose a brow, "Cabin?" He asked as Annabeth laughed "Me and my big mouth, I meant dorm Seaweed Brain." she said smiling. Nico cocked his head but didn't question much. "Anyway! Where's that Ashley chick? I gotta make sure she's Jackson material." Luke boosted as Percy face palmed. "Trust me Luke, you do not want to question her."

When the two blond's left, and one last kiss from Nico, Percy headed to his room. Only to see his phone buzzing with a phone call. "Hello?" He asked answering the phone. "Perseus?" Breathed a trembling voice, it was staticky and hard to hear. "Who is this?" He asked listening harder. "Percy Jackson- I need- need you to-- to- save me-- Nico--- sister ---- tell him--- love him--- I'm--- sorry---- so sorry--- Thalia---- Camp Half--- Monsters--- smell--- run." And with that, the line went dead. "Hello!? Hello?!" Percy yelled into the phone. He stared at the bright screen. He called the number again. But it was a blocked number. The green eyed boy didn't know what to do. What in Hades name did he hear? What did she, he, it, person know about Nico and Thalia? Percy couldn't put it together. The caller had said something about a camp. Like Annabeth and Luke...

The next day, Percy went to school. That phone call from last night was pushed into the farthest corner of his mind. Octavian had kept his promise about calling off his hitman. That was until Percy does something stupid again. As usual, in art class, Perseus would sketch a familiar pair of dark eyes and shaggy black hair. Always with a smile. Nico always looked better with one on his face. Will looked over Percy's shoulder and smiled. "Ever thought about using color pencils instead of a black pencil?" He asked as the sea Prince shrugged and finished the ever so gorgeous smile. "Here, you can borrow these." Solance stated pulling out his box of color pencils. "Oh. Thanks Solance." Percy smiled and pulled out another blank page. He used a dark brown for Nico's long soft locks, black for his dark orbs, a light sliver for his pale almost ivory skin, and rose pink for his soft full lips. Solance was right about one thing, color is always a beautiful thing. There on the page, was Nico, as if trapped in the page. "Well won't you look at that." Will whistled with amazement. Percy blushed and slid it in his scrap book. "Why don't you draw you and him Jackson?" The blond inquired as Percy shook his head scoffing. "There's no way, I mean, me next to a fallen angel? As if. I can barely believe we're together." Will's face filled with surprise at Percy's words. "You don't mean that Percy." Perseus sighed and gave a breathy laugh. "Yes Solance. Yes, I really do."

Nico

Nico sat under the tree waiting for his prince. "Perseus!" He called out waving as Percy jogged over with his scarp book in hand. "Hey Ghosty." Percy smiled siting Dow as Nico noticed something different. Percy's scrapbook was a dark blue instead of a bright neon blue. "What's wrong with your book?" He asked as the green eyed boy beamed. "This is for you." He passed the book of over to the ghost boy as Nico stared at it questionably. "Come on, open it Nicky." Percy urged. Nico opened the dark book and gasped. It was filled of drawings, pictures, beautiful words, of his time with Percy. As Nico read through the pages, he didn't notice his eyes filling with tears. Nico looked up, astonished, as Percy miler and held his hands. "Percy... It's beautiful... but why me?" The ghost boy asked as the sea Prince kissed his nose and opened his mouth to speak. "Nicoals Di Angelo, the boy with the red paint. The thief of my heart. I never knew if I could ever learn how to love another. Being so broken and alone. I don't think I could ever go back to being the seaweed brain I once was. And that's all thanks to you, Ghosty, you make me feel like I can live. That I can hope. Before it was like I was drowning in water, floating aimlessly through a raging sea. And you saved me, I can breath again. And I love you for that." Percy wiped away the streaming tears from Nico's pale face. "I don't deserve someone like you." Nico cried as Percy shook his head ad kissed his forehead. "No, you deserve someone better. And I'm sorry for that. All I have is my love." With that Nico tackled him to the ground and cried into Percy's arms.

'Am so sorry Percy.... I truly am...'
