The One That Got Away... (A Jasico fanfic)

Chapter 2

Jason pov

"Hazel?" I yelled over the pounding music. "What hotel was your brother staying at?" Her brow crinkled in worry.

"Why? Where has he gone?" she asked, hair poofing out everywhere. "Don't tell me he left again!"

"He did! He's headed to Tartarus!" Her eyes widened.

"WHAT!? IS HE OUT OF HIS MIND!? WE NEED TO STOP HIM BEFORE HE LEAVES! LET'S GO!" I hurried after Hazel, mind rushing with questions. Why would he go back to Tartarus? He was barely able to handle the first time, he knew that... unless he was trying to kill himself? But that didn't make sense. He told me himself he was over Percy. Did he have a new love? My heart panged with concern. He had gotten so much pain from Percy, surely he wouldn't have fallen again so soon...

"Jason? I need to check my apartment; he might be there. You need to go the the Maganya's Hotel, it's a big fancy Spanish one in Main Street. Look for a huge dome roof." I nodded and got into my tiny car, relishing the sound of the engine as it hummed to life.

"Nico... why..." I turned on the radio, hoping to drown out my thoughts.

Walk in the streets with you and your worn out jeans

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself

Hey isn't this easy

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down

Oh, this made me think of Nico more than anything. Was this how he felt whenever he saw Percy and Annabeth together? It was probably a lot more painful, since he knew that Percy was straight and wouldn't go for Nico even if he wasn't.

I sighed. That guy's life held more misery and pain than twenty of my lives put together.

I finally arrived at the Maganya's hotel, and quickly parked my car and sprinted inside.

"I'm looking for a Nico di Angelo." The guy at the front desk started typing, then looked at me suspiciously.

"Why do you need to know?" he inquired. I was very close to just blasting him with lightning and searching the computer system myself.

"I just need to know if he checked out or not," I hurriedly explained. Nico could be in the Underworld right now...

"Hmm... Nico di Angelo..." He was interrupted by a yell from the front doors.

"Jason!"

You guys are probably going to start a petition for killing me.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
