Part Four - Chapter 43

Nico cursed at himself for feeling ignorant, there was no way anyone other than Hazel could love him, and in a romantic sense nonetheless. If it were up to him, he'd send people out to get Will Solace for lying and creating a false pretense of romantic love. Nico sighed, he thought about the fact that Will never came to the hospital, never visited. His phone number isn't even on his phone. No one on his phone by the name of Will or with a nickname.

Nico returned back to the main room where he saw a familiar blob of blond curly hair. He approached cautiously and slowly. "Ah! Boss! You're awake!"

"Hmmn?" he questioned, "Why?"

"Well, yesterday we heard you fall to the ground and you passed out so we put you in your bed. You've been asleep for a while. Would you like us to call your physician?"

"No. I'm okay."

"Wait, Nico, you need a personal Physician??" Will questioned a cup of coffee in his hands. He had an oversized shirt that hung off his shoulders and some basketball shorts lent to him by Jimmy. 

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Nico stuck up his nose at the man in front of him, a stranger.

"Um," Will smiled nervously, his fingers gripping the cup. "I'm Will... Will Solace. I was being talked to yesterday by Imane and Jimmy and I passed out I think. And they brought be here."

"Ok. Why are you still here?"

Imane gasped, "Nico! Don't be rude." She turned to Will, "Don't listen to him, he's just tired. Jim, call the physician and bring Hazel."

"I told you, I don't need a physician!" He grumbled.

"You will see the doctor, don't even try. You always get mean when you're hurt."

"Fine, whatever. I'll be upstairs." He grabbed his cup of coffee and left to go upstairs. He was angry, he couldn't fully comprehend why but he was mad.

Downstairs, Will sat there with his head down. "Did I, Do something to upset him?"

"Yeah, breaking up with him." Jimmy laughed. He looked at Imane with a high five but she just shook her head. He dropped his hand and cleared his throat, "Sorry. Too soon?"

"Yeah."

"But- It's been like five years."

~**~

Nico sat by himself in his small office, well it was a rather large office but it felt small to him. He decided he was going to call hazel for some answers. He wanted to know as much as he could about the hot mystery man sitting in his kitchen.

He dialed her number and waited as it rang. She picked up by the third ring, "Hello?"

"Hey, Haze, I have something to ask of you."

"Yeah, of course, anything. Is everything okay?"

"It's fine, I think. I just wanted to know, what happened that day I was in the hospital. I was informed I had a boyfriend, why didn't he show up?"

Hazel went silent on her line, she must have been wondering what to say. "Hazel? Are you still there?"

"Hmmn? Yeah," she broke the silence. "Sorry, I'm just not quite sure how to say this but here's what happened...

Flashback based on Hazel's description

"Do you want to call your boyfriend?" Hazel asked, holding onto Nico's hand in the hospital.

"No." he groaned out. "He left me."

"But he-"

"No!" Nico yelled out before coughing intensely. He began making noises that made it seem like he was choking. The nurses came in and shoved Hazel out. She looked down at her hands, where Nico's phone was held. She came to the conclusion, she will call the Solace boy.

She dialed the number with shaking hands. 

"Hello?" the voice of a man picked up. "What do you want?"

"Hello? Is this Will Solace?" Hazel asked.

"Yes, Who are you?"

"Hazel, I'm-"

"The sultry girl that was out with my boyfriend earlier?"

"Sultry?"

"Whatever," Will replied bitterly, "You can keep him. Just block my number and delete it. Tell Nico to go fuck himself." Will hung up the call.

Hazel stared down at the ended dial tone, the name 'Sunshine' blinking. As she stared at the screen she wondered how Nico could have dated such a foul man. She did exactly as the man had said, blocked and deleted the number. 

"- and so I blocked and deleted the number as he said."

"You did what?!"

"I blocked and deleted the number?" Hazel said quieter.

"Just who do you think you are doing that? I told you not to call him and you do it anyway?"

"Yes, you can't block out the people you care about just because you got hurt. It's not what Bianca would've wanted."

"How do you know what she wanted?! She's gone! You never met her! I love you Hazel but you'll NEVER be Bianca." Nico cried out angrily over the phone, before he could hear what Hazel said he hung up the phone. He paced around his office and threw one of the chairs across the room in frustration.

After a moment of silence, there was a small knock on his door.

"What?" he grunted, opening the door. Will inched away from the door. 

"Sorry to interrupt but can you drive me home? I kinda have to go."

"Yeah," Nico replied looking down at the tanned, fair-skinned man. He had dated this man, and this man left him. Nico wasn't sure how to look him in the eyes, he wasn't sure what to make of this situation.

The car ride was silent, it was not a very fun time for Nico.

"I'm sorry," Will said breaking the silence. The sudden confession almost made Nico jump out of his skin. 

"Why?" Nico's hands gripped the steering wheel, he looked over at the passenger seat to see Will looking down at his hands. He wasn't sure whether or not to believe what Hazel had said, he'd have to apologize to her soon. He said some mean things to her.

"I... I misjudged you and our relationship because I was insecure. I thought that... I thought I wasn't good enough for you. You were- are rich, strong, beautiful, and so kind. I didn't think I deserved that. I had also gotten it into my brain that you were cheating, it occured to me later that you're insanly loyal so thats also my insecurity."

"Hmmn." Nico responded. He listened to what his Ex had to say and thought about it deeply. "I'm sorry." Nico had also apologized, "I do not remeber you."

Will's head snapped towards Nico, you could almost hear every bone snap. 

"What do you mean you don't remember me?"
