Please Don't Take My Sunshine Away

I'm Not Okay

I remember that when I was little I had a fear of the dark. It terrified me. Then he showed up. The little hyper 11 year old with a mouth faster than the Aphrodite cabin when gossiping. I thought he was pretty cute when I first saw him. I never thought I would fall in love with him though, especially after he disappeared and came back surrounded by dark aura. But when we were together every fear I ever had left me, and I found comfort in the dark...it reminds me of him.

It reminds me of him now as I lay trapped in darkness. I can almost feel his arms wrapped around my body and his head resting on my chest listening to my heart beat.

But then I'm hit by a sudden light and warmth spreads over my body. I open my eyes slowly allowing myself to get used to the brightness. I'm greeted by a clear, crystal blue sky. Soft whisps of clouds swirl around high above the ground.

I sit up observing my surroundings. I'm on the side of a hill covered in tall yellow grass and wild flowers. I sit on a patch of dry earthy ground shaded by a single tree. The tree is large and growing full healthy flowers and leaves.

A soft breezes tossels my hair and shake the tree branches making flowers and leaves shower down. That's when I notice the figure standing under the tree, hand pressed to the trunk.

I shakily climb to my feet and step closer. His hair blows around him gently, he wears a black wreath jeweled with amethyst on his head. He wears a black chiton secured with stygion iron pins and a dark leather belt. It blows loosely in the breeze like the flowers and leaves swirling around us.

I walk over to him, tears filling my eyes and a lump choking me at the throat. I stand in front of him, having to look down a little. I reach out my hand and caress his cheek. He smiles softly and holds his hand to mine.

The tears stream freely down my face but I'm smiling.

"Nico?" I choke out.

"Hey, Sunshine."

I throw my arms around my boyfriend pulling him against me. I bury my head in the crook of his neck planning to never let go of him. I inhale deeply, breathing in his scent. His arms trail around my torso holding me just as tightly as I was holding him.

"I'm sorry," he whispers softly in my ear. He pulls back so that we're looking each other in the eyes but are arms are still around the other.

"I'm sorry I left you, but it'll be okay," he assures with a soft smile. I've never seen him smile so much.

I bite my lip, more tears threaten to fall. I shake my head.

"It's not okay, Nico," I say frowning.

Nico smiles and brings his fingers to my lips.

"Trust me," he smiles tracing my lis with his index finger.

"How am I supposed to trust you? You're dead," I say against his fingers, the tears finally falling.

"You'll get over me," he whispers, moving his had the hold my cheek.

Fury takes over me and I move my limbs without thinking. I push him by his shoulders hard against the wide trunk of the tree.

"No, I'm not gonna get over you! I can't get over you! I don't know what you think of me but maybe you understand how much I love you! I can't get over you and I don't want to!"

He stares at me with his wide, beautiful, dark eyes. His lips parted in shock. Then his shock melts away into a sad face. He tries to smile but it immediately falls. I feel bad and guilty.

"Will, you're going to be okay," he promises.

"No I'm not! I'm not okay, I'm not o-fucking-k! I'll never be okay, not after losing you," I cry. I bury my face in his chest and sob. He strokes my hair, soothing me.

"You'll be okay, I promise," he whispers, kissing the top of my head. Then I lose all feeling.

I shoot up, breathing heavily. A blanket falls off me, I know where I am. I'm in my bed in the Apollo cabin.

"WILL!" Maya helps, wrapping her arms around me.

"We thought you were never gonna wake up!" She cries.

"What? Why?"

"Because you were out for a WHOLE FRICKIN WEEK!"

"Oh," I say looking down at my hands. It was dream. I didn't really see Nico...wait...how much of it was a dream.

"Maya? How exactly was I induced into a coma?"
