5, Nico POV

Nico ducked under the bridge rail, knowing if he hit the water stomach first he would die from impact. The thought of dying didn't scare Nico, no one would be left to grieve, his own father wouldn't even notice he was gone.

Taking a shuddering breath he counted. "One..." for Bianca "...two..." for Mama "...three..." for the one he loved. Nico looked up at the crying sky.

And jumped.

Nico could feel his feet leave the edge of the bridge, and the feeling of nothingness under his feet.

It felt as if he was flying.

He felt free...

A brutal grip grabbed the back of his shirt, and yanked him out if haze.

Nico felt arms, pull him back under the railing, and wrap around his shaking body. "Why?" the person whispered, hugging Nico.

Nico tried to struggle, and finish what he started, why did this person have to come save him? Nico could've helped everyone out by leaving the world. He wouldn't get in the way anymore.

"WHY!!" shouted the voice. Nico flinched, and realized he was shaking.

Nico looked up to see the person that that held him..."Jason?!" Nico choked out. Doing his best to abstract himself from the bigger boy's arms.

"Answer me Di Angelo, why?" he yelled.

Nico struggled, and tried to get away, tears streaming down his face. Nico's fist flashed out and beat weakly on Jason's chest. But his body was shaking too bad, his mussels would work.

"Why?" Jason whispered softly. Nico shook his head, trying to stop the tears running down his face.

Then slowly he opened his mouth, snapping at Jason for the first time in his life, "WHY DID YOU STOP ME!!!"

"I was saving you!" Jason yelled, pushing Nico away.

Nico using the chance, ran, he was fast. He could outrun Jason, Nico knew that. But with the limp in his step, and every time a foot hit the ground, spiking pain ran up hit back.

"NICO!" Jason shouted behind Nico.

Nico turned back, panting, the pain was taking a toll on his body. Nico was slowing, and Jason knew it too, he slowed down, and was going to let Nico run himself out.

Nico's legs were shaking and slowly he fell to his knees, tears still streaking down his face.

"Nico," Jason said quietly. Walking slowly, putting his hands up as if Nico was a cornered animal.

Nico looked towards Jason and whispered, "I wanted too. Why did you stop me?"

"I saved you!" Jason frowned.

Nico looked down. His black hair matted down by the rain, bustled from the wind.

Jason couldn't tell if it was tears or rain streaking down the boy's cheeks. It was a mixture of both. Nico gently shook his head, "No...no...you kept me in this living Hell whole..."

Jason looked at the broken boy and knelt down beside him, "Nico, look at me..."

Nico shook his head, he knew the bruises and wound would lead to suspicion. Jason didn't give him the luxury of refusing. Jason grabbed Nico's chin and forced the shaking boy to look at him.

"Why?" Jason breathed, taking Nico's head in his hands. Nico's tears ran down his cheeks, and onto Jason's hands.

And Nico shakily answered, "I can't...I can't live like this anymore...this constant pain. I go to school, get hurt, go home get hurt, I'm a lone and I get hurt. Can't you see? I'm tired of getting hurt."

Jason's eyes widened and he whispered, "Oh my gods Nico, I had no idea that you were suffering like this..."

Nico's eyes blazed with anger, and he threw a left hooker, catching Jason in the jaw. Jason stumbled back.

Nico yelling, "HOW COULD YOU? YOU'VE BEEN TOO BUSY BEATING ME UP!!!!!"

"Look, Nico, I know I did wrong...but let me help, I understand," Jason whispered.

How could he say that? How could Jason understand the Hell Nico was going through? How could Jason even comprehend what it was like being bullied, beaten, and frightened...alone. Nico stood up in the rain and snapped, "How could you? HOW COULD YOU EVER UNDERSTAND?"

Nico was now past any emotional control, his body trembling, his tears blurred by rain and tears, cold and soaked to the bone.

Jason got up and whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that..."

"You're right, you shouldn't have!" Nico snarled, his hands balled up into fists, but he was numb. Numb with fear, anger, confusion, grief, loneliness. Jason saw this, and grabbed Nico, pulling him into a bear hug.

Nico looked up, his enticing brown eyes meeting Jason's electric ones.

Nico then felt his heart shatter once again, the warm fuzzy feeling you get in your stomach when you love someone was seeping into his tummy. Nico could only feel cold fear now, Jason would now be another person in life that would leave him.

"Nico..." Jason's voice sounded like a whisper to the young Italian's ears.

Nico's eyes rolled in the back of his head, and he passed out. Falling into Jason's arms.

How was that? Comment plzzzzz.
