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

Chapter Tobias

If you have read Divergent, then you should get the chapter name.

Jason pov

"You... what?" I stammered. This didn't make any sense... did it?

"I... have to go..." Nico wrenched himself out of my grip and sprinted for the exit.

"Nico, wait!" I ran after him, dodging pedestrians and even sprinting across a busy road (the honks were deafening, thank you very much) to get him.

He started running towards a huge wall that was engulfed in shadow.

"NICO!" I screamed, not even thinking that running into a wall after him was a bad idea. He turned around, gave me a sad, pain-filled look, and shadow traveled away.

I turned and leaned against the wall, pinching my bloody nose. I slid down until I was sitting, thinking only one thing: Nico likes me?

Where could he be? Probably in the Underworld... The Underworld!

Thank the gods I was already in California. I summoned Tempest and waited, dreading what would happen if I was too late. Nico could be in Tartarus... would I jump down after him and try to go with him? After all, Nico probably knew his way around. The only thing I would have to do would be protect him.

I heard the clip clop of hooves on the pavement. Tempest stood in front of me, neighing impatiently.

"Alright, alright." I mounted the stallion.

Hollywood, California, here I come.

Should I end it here? Hmmm.... nope, not that mean.

Nico pov

Ughhh... I had forgotten that shadow traveling on an empty stomach was never a good idea.

"Nico, what are you doing here?" I blearily opened my eyes to be greeted by an albino man in a black suit, and a lady that was covered in flowers.

"Not much." My head was pounding, and I couldn't move without my muscles screaming in protest.

"I know that you intend on going to Tartarus. Nico, my boy, you did hear me when I said that I want you to be happy? Who is it this time, that Jackson boy?"

I tried to shake my head, but ended up discovering that my neck didn't agree.

"No."

"Is it someone else? You know you could just have a chat with Aphrodite." As if I was ever going to tear my dignity to shreds and do that.

"NICO!" A yell made me sit up straight, then collapse in pain. Everything was swimming, and I could see three Hades all peering down on me.

My last thought before blacking out was That yell sounded a lot like Jason...

Sorry for the short chapter.

How many people think that, in the middle of all this, Aphrodite is just sitting in her Umbridge-like office and laughing at Nico?
