Nico's Point

Will smiled at me and I removed my hand now realizing what I was doing.

While what I had said was true it wasn't the real reason I had pick that nickname.

I had picked it because hair hair reminded me of the first rays of morning and his smile warmed me so much I felt like I was laying in the sun on a warm summer day but there was no way I was going to tell him that, not without knowing if Reyna and Hazel were right.

"So...you wanted to look at my hand right?" I asked nervously

"Right" Will said also looking a little nervous making me think I might have a chance with him.

Will started to unwrap my hand.

"Thank you" Will said and although I could still see the pain in his eyes from last night the small smile he had was  sincere.

"What for?" I asked

"Honestly? Everything, if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't be here right now and I not just talking about last night...you've been there for me pretty much since I got here and having you smile at me, comforter me and be my friend, I just want you to know it means the world to me" Will said and I swear I had to be made of chocolate or something because he made me melt completely.

I was about to say something when Will got a very worried look on his face.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" Will asked in a almost pleading way.

"Why?" I asked

"Your hand is swollen and red and if that not bad enough the wond hasn't closed" Will said

"I.....I can't not just because my father might find out but....I don't want to have another flashback" I said quietly

"Let me clean it up then" Will said

"Ok" I said

Will got up and walked out of the room and came back after a few minutes with a first aid kit, a bottle of alcohol, a washcloth and a bowl.

"This is going to hurt a lot" Will said

"I can handle it" I said

"You can hold me if you want" Will said as he poured the alcohol in the bowl

"Why would I hold-" I started to say before Will immersed my hand in the alcohol. I bit my lip to stop from yelled and clawed into his leg.

"Sorry, I did warn you" Will said and I could tell that he felt bad from.his expression.

Will then pick up the washcloth, placed it in the bowl with my hand and started to wipe my hand

"WHY ARE YOU RUBBING IT IN!?" I yelled jerking my hand away

"I'm not rubbing it in, I'm cleaning it" Will said

"It dosen't feel like it!" I yelled

"Look, give me your arm" Will said

"Why?" I asked

"So that I can show you what I'm doing" Will said and I slowly held my arm out.

Will took the washcloth and gently wiped my arm then slowly moved down towards my hand.

"What are you doing?....Will....Will please" I said but he didn't stop and placed the washcloth on my hand.

I leaned into him and screamed before I punched him in the chest with my good hand.

"I hate you" I mumbled.

"Aw, But I love you" Will said in a teasing way

"W-What?" I asked my face feeling hot and my heart racing faster then it ever had before

Will didn't answer right away and I didn't look up because I didn't want him to see my face.

"You are one of my best friends" Will said with a nervous chuckle

"Ah" I said a little disappointed

"I think it's clean enough, I'm going to wrap it up and then open a window...it's suddenly feels hot in here" Will said

"Yeah, it does" I said.

Will did as he said and as he got up to open the window I could see that his ears were red.

"So, is everything good then? Can I go?" I asked after a few minutes and Will turn away from the window and looked at me his face only a little pink now.

"I'm afraid not" Will said

"Why?" I asked

"I just cleaned it. Your going to need stitches" Will said

"Wait, what? But I-I can't go to the hospital" I said a little panicked.

Will walked over and gently placed his hands on my shoulders

"Don't worry, I have someone coming here to do it" Will said

"So no hospital?" I asked

"No hospital" Will said and I breath out a sigh of relief.

"When did you arrange for someone to come over?" I asked

"When I walked out of the room to get the stuff to clean your hand" Will said and right then Jason knocked on the door.

"Someone's here for you" Jason said before a girl walked into the room.

"Kayla, thank you so much for coming" Will said

"It's not a problem. Look Will-" Kayla started to say but Will cut her off.

"Please, not now....just-just please help Nico" Will said

"Ok" Kayla said looking a little sad.

She walked over with a bag and Jason brought in a chair so she could sit in front of me while I was on the bed.

"I'm going to need you to keep your hand as still as possible" Kayla said and Will grabbed my good hand and held it in his.

"Just squeeze my hand if it hurts to much" Will said gently and I nodded.

Kayla unwrapped my hand then pulled something out of her bag.

"What's that?" I asked nervously

"It's a numbing gel, it'll help for when I give you the actual numbing shot" Kayla said

"Shot?" I asked looking over at Will even more nervous now.

"You'll be fine, it's just one shot so that you don't feel the stitching" Will said.

I looked back at Kayla and slowly nodded my head.

Kayla took the gel and placed it on my hand then rubbing it in and I squeezed Will's hand tightly when she was done I loosened the grip I had of Will's hand but only a little.

"Do you need to look away?" Will asked

"No, it's always easier if I watch for some reason" I said.

"Have you had stitches before?" Will asked

"Yeah, the scar I told you about, and a few others" I said
