Never Again

"He just shot me in the foot"

Thalia POV:

I didn't realize I was crying until; someone came and wipe my tears. I look up and see Hades standing there. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just letting some things off my chest." I say and look at the sky. "Look, I know you don't trust me, but if you need to talk, I'm right here" he tells me looking at me seriously. "I'll keep that in mind" I say.

"We need to go to Russia but something important is this week and I can't miss it. We can go in a few days. If he's not there we can check with people who have seen him or even someone who associate with him. Okay?" He asks me.

I nod my head not in the mood to speak. "Words, love"

"Okay" I say and get up to leave. He grabs my wrist, "don't miss dinner" I nod in response and leave going to my room.

I take a shower and go to sleep. But it wasn't peaceful, it was a nightmare.

"No" I say and begin squirming in the bed. "Stop it, please. You love me remember" I say and cry while holding my stomach.

"I loved you; can you stop?" I cry harder holding my ribs after he kicks them. He laughs at me and his friends begin to
help him.

"Please, someone help me" I whimper. I sit up in bed and look around. That felt too real.

I get up and splash some water on my face. I walk with no knowledge of where I'm headed. I knock on the door and Hades open the door with his eyes half open.

"Yes, love" he says in a sleepy voice.

"Can I sleep with you?" I ask kind of embarrassed. I could've asked Finn. Yeah, I should've. I begin walking off until he grabs my arm.

"Where are you going?" He asks "You can come in; I'll make room for you." I walk in his room; he shuts the door and get in the bed. I do the same and turn on my side.

"I'm sorry for waking you" I say. "I was already up" he says.

I laugh because I know he's lying. I turn towards him and smile, "Oh, that would explain the way your eyes were half open."

He opens his eyes and look at me, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Sure, you don't" I chuckle and just stare at him. "Your pretty" He smiles a very wide smile. "That's coming from someone who looks like an angel."

"Oh, please I'm not that" I say scoffing.

He grabs my waist and bring me towards him, "Don't ever say that. Your belle. Gorgeous, magnificent don't let someone tell you something different." He says and push my hair behind my ear and leaving his hand on my cheek.

He's lying

Just accept it, idiot

I know I should push him off but I don't. I smile at him not knowing what to say, "Thank you"

"You're welcome, go to sleep love" he says and let me go turning the other way. He just made me even forget about the nightmare.

I lift up and kiss his cheek before turning the other way, catching him by surprise.

I wake up hearing voices talk and I cover my ears and snuggle back into this warm chest.

"Come on take pictures faster, you fucking idiot" I hear I think Alfonso say. "You fucking Dumbo, I'm taking them. You need to shut the fuck up before you wake them up." I hear Lorenzo say.

"NO! You shut the fuck up. Don't you see them cuddling?" I hear Alfonso squeal.

"I can see the same thing you see" Lorenzo says. "Then how come you couldn't see these bullets coming." Next thing you know I hear shots firing.
