The Scars Make Me Stronger

TW: Abuse

Nico's POV:

I really want to leave. My feet and back hurt. We've been at this party for three hours and I want to go home. It's not my party and we aren't hosting. Octavian said we should come and when I asked to not go he looked at me and suddenly I was going.

"Nico! Come over here. Sit with me" Octavian said.

I nodded and gently made myself comfortable next to him. He set down his cards for a second to gently rub my back. It's all an act though. The minute he gets mad or I do something wrong it's back to the regular Octavian I see all the time.

"How far along are you?" Percy, the captain of the swim team, asked.

"Eight months" I replied.

I've only met Percy once before. Octavian doesn't really like him because he was always the hero. He always saved the day. Jason, the captain of the football team, was sitting next to him. Jason was a "hero" too. He saved the day in the background though. Never in the spotlight like Percy did.

"Can we go home soon? My back is really hurting" I said.

"I've just started another round. We can go home when this is over" Octavian said.

I huffed and went back to rubbing my bump. I rubbed gentle circles over it and I jerked a little when Octavian accidentally hit my bump with his elbow.

"Why don't you move? That way I'm not constantly jabbing you, baby" Octavian said.

I smiled and nodded. I gently got up and sat on the stool that was out there. It was hard to balance my weight but eventually I did.

I was almost asleep, but I stayed awake in fear of falling. Octavian called my name but I didn't say anything. He could handle himself.

"Nico, why don't you go get us some drinks? I want a beer" Octavian said.

"Get your own. Can't you see he's in pain? From the looks of it, he is getting more than enough pain" A man said.

"Will Solace! I haven't seen you in forever" Percy said.

"It's okay. I'm awake and not in much pain. We can do this" I said.

"No, you both stay here" Will said.

"It's fine, really. My back is a bit sore and the baby is hurting me, but it's not that bad. I'm in pain a lot of the time" I said.

"He said he's fine Will. Besides, he knows what kind of drink to get me" Octavian said.

Nobody knew the true threat but I did. He was telling me to do it or else. I didn't want him to hurt the baby, so I moved forward.

I gently pushed myself up and Octavian watched with a smile on his face while I struggled to get up. I finally got up with Percy's help.

I huffed holding my stomach. Jason set his cards down coming to steady me. He gently asked if he could get it for me, but I declined. I went and grabbed a beer from the fridge.

"You don't have to do what he says" Will said.

"I know but sometimes he gets violent if I don't" I said.

"Nico, I can help you. Stand up to him and come with me. I can protect you and you can protect your baby" Will said.

"First of all, I just met you. Secondly, it's not just my life at stake anymore. At least with Octavian, I know how to act" I said.

I poured the beer into a solo cup making sure it was halfway filled with ice. I gently carried it out making sure to step around the mess of things in the house.
