The Bridge (Angst)

TWs: Suicide, self hate, self harm mention, intrusive thoughts.

Will stood at the edge of the bridge, contemplating what would come next. If he took just one more step forward, he would fall to his death, or as he liked to call it, his freedom. He thought of Nico, and a brief flash of guilt shot though his mind. His love, the darkness to his supposed light. If only he knew where Will was now, about the thoughts that raked through Will's head, the scars that littered his arms and legs. Oh, if only he knew. 

Will looked up at the stars and looked for Aquarius, Nico's zodiac sign. He smiled slightly at the memory of when he'd told Nico about zodiac signs. Nico was so skeptical about it all, just like he is about anything that isn't directly factual. 

Will then thought of his older brothers. Oh how he wanted to be just like them. He would follow them around to the archery range and try to shoot a bow, no matter how many times the string stung him. He would try as hard as he could to play the guitar, or any instrument really. He couldn't wait until the day when he would become head councilor. That day came much sooner than any of them could've expected. Will vividly remembered himself looking through the ashes of the titan war. He looked through the rubble of the bridge, desperate to find anything that remained of his deceased brother. Sure enough, he found something. A piece of Micheal's bow. It had been hand crafted by Apollo as a gift to him. 

Will's thoughts were suddenly jerked to his own little siblings, Austin and Kayla. Austin would be head councilor after he stepped off this ledge. He thought of Kayla's warm smiles, the beautiful tunes of Austin's saxophone, and how happy they were when-

No

He couldn't think of them right now, he just needed to jump

Do it you coward, jump

your just a worthless, good for nothing healer who can't fight at all

no one will care if your gone. I doubt they'll even notice

They're only saying they love you to get you to go away

you're just annoying them all

Will clutched his head, ripping at his hair, trying to get the thoughts out. He knew he was a coward and that he should just kill himself, he knew it! He wished the voice would just get out of his head! He knew their deaths were his fault, all of them! All of the patients that had died had left this world because of him. He just wanted to be free of the dread and darkness that filled every fiber of his being. He just wanted to be gone. He didn't care what lay ahead, he just wanted to leave this life. This infinite loop of debating whether to do it or not. Everything was just too much. He just wanted to turn back time to when Micheal and Lee were still here. When the Apollo cabin was still one big, happy family. 

He stared down at the rushing waters below him. He imaged all his problems washing away in the currents. Drifting off into the vast waters of the ocean, never to be seen or thought about again. The universe was a cruel, cruel place made to torment the hearts of mortals and gods alike. Who knows, maybe Apollo was staring down at him right now, watching as his eldest living son was about to take his own life. 

Will mentally readied himself. Looking around for any last glimpses of beauty in his surroundings. He found it in the reflection of the deserted streets in the river below, the images distorted with the water. Will wiped his tears and bent his knees, preparing for what was about to come.

Then he felt small, thin, but still muscular arms wrap around his waist and torso. He struggled for a moment, before collapsing into what he now knew from a quick glance at the man's face was Nico's small frame. Nico lifted him back onto his feet and pulled them into the shadows. 

Soon they were back in cabin 13. Even through the haze of his thoughts, he still felt an overwhelming sense of pride from seeing how much Nico had improved. He now didn't need to immediately rest after shadow traveling. Nico took Will's shoes off and laid him on Nico's bed. Nico then took off his own shoes and climbed into bed with Will. Nico lifted Will's head onto his lap and played with his hair.

"We'll talked about this later, okay my love? For now, just get some rest." Nico said softly to him.

Will slowly nodded, already almost asleep.

"Te amo, tessoro." were the last words Will heard before he drifted off to sleep.
