Almost the second after we finished kissing -which was a long time- we heard the dinner bells.
As we were walking along athe stone path that lead to the dining pavilion I felt something. It was weird, like something inside of me was telling me that I was doing the wrong thing. It felt like when you stole something and a feeling of dread washes over you. I knew what I was feeling, and I didn't want to say what it was. I was in a good mood for once and I didn't want to change that. I tried to ignore it but it kept on getting stronger. I was feeling guilt. Guilt for leaving Percy. Guilt for being with Will instead off apologizing to Percy. I needed to talk to him. But what would Will say, what would he do. Will was an easy going guy but I've seen him get angry. He sometimes gets angry at things that are small to. What if he gets angry or mad. What if he sees me talking to him and decides that he doesn't what to talk to me ever again.
"Hey, Nico, what's wrong?" Will asks me. Should I tell him? I look into his eyes and I see Someone that is happy but sad when someone else is. I see a caring loving guy that loves me. I see a 12 year old me.
Me when I didn't know anything about the gods or Greek stuff. The me back when I played mythomagic and was care free of dumb and crappy monsters. But I don't want to be with an old me.
Then I see sadness in his eyes. "Your not over him, are you?" He asks me with a low voice. I shake my head at him. His face lowers with sadness. "I'm sorry Will." I say sincerely. I let go of his hand that had automatically loosened and walk over to my table that all the way across from the Apollo cabins table and put my head down.
I'm so stupid. Why did I say that, why couldn't I just keep it to myself. Why...
I look over to my right and see Will talking with his brothers and sisters. My eyes start to tear up so I wipe then away with my hand. I can't hold out in. I don't want to cry in front of everyone.
I see my diner in front of me and I go over and make three offerings. I offer one to my father, another to Aphrodite because I ruined my relationship with Will and for good luck with Percy. And the rest to Apollo, for hurting Will's feelings. Then I put down my plate and head to my cabin. I get out some Cocoa Puffs and lay down on my bed. I don't know what to do know. I screwed up and I'm sorry.

Nico probably thinks that I don't like him anymore. That's not true though. Nothing could ever stop me from liking him. What did I do. He's know most likely gonna try to avoid me. Gods, why did I have to open my mouth? It just came out without me knowing. And when it did and he nodded. I couldn't help but look hurt. I should try to apologize, but I didn't want to upset Nico even more. Then I see him making his offerings and I tear up. I know that we care about each other but I also know that I should let him go for a while. He'll see that Percy doesn't like him back. He'll come back to me and we'll be happy. We'll be together. All I need to do is let him go.

Ah, geez. Someone's gonna knock on my door.
I sometimes know when that's gonna happen. Just a gut feeling of annoyance.
I walk up to my door and look through the peep hole. It was Percy. Not again.
Percy pov
Earlier in the morning I went into the Aphrodite cabin without knocking and jumped on Piper's bed and started yelling words that sounded like some weirdo foreign language. She screamed and dropped her People's magazine. Geez woman keep it down. She pushed me off and plopped back on her bed.
"What do you want Percy?" She asked me in an annoyed tone. I didn't know why she was so mad. "Just need to get stuff off of my mind."
"What stuff , Why couldn't you just go talk to someone else. Like Jason or Leo or Nico. Why can't you go talk to your mother."
She said obviously wanting me to leave. But I like annoying her.
"What about my mum?" I said with a British accent.
"Here, how bout this," she said sitting up. "You can go get someone else and take them to see your mom." She explained to me. Piper had a point. Almost none of my friends had come to see my mom. But I didn't want to ask someone who would meet her for the first time. Nor someone who's seen her plenty of times. Now that I thought about it there is someone who my mom adores, and really wants to see again. I got up from the bed and headed for the door.
"Thanks Pipes, I know exactly who to bring. See ya" I told her as I walked out.
She nodded as I closed the door and headed over to Nico's cabin.

Not opening the door I called out to Percy "whaaaaaaaaaat"
Shut up, I'm lazy. I heard him laugh on the other side of door.
"Just open the door Nico." Percy ordered me. I scoffed, my mind was like 'yo, bruh no one orders me around. You should know that by now, waz gotten in to ya'
My mind, I tell you....
I guess my mind was just feeling rebellious, so I didn't open the door. Ha, in yo face water boy.
I'm really started to hate my thoughts. "Go away Percy" I yell at Percy. But he comes in anyways.
"What do you think I mean by go away Percy?" I asked. "We'll you obviously wanted me to come in." Percy said as he casually laid down on a random bed in the room.
"I wanted to ask you something, ghost king" he said as he positioned the pillows to his liking. "What did you want to ask me aquaman" I replied ever so calmly when all I wanted to do was jump in that bed with him. He got up and walked over to my bed. Don't get a boner, don't get a boner, don't get a boner. I told myself as my eyes noticed his swaying hips, and the slight- just kidding their gigantic -buldging muscles in his chest and arms, those skinny jeans... oh my gods I seriously can't right know. I calm myself down before I start hyperventilating. Deep breaths Nico, deep breaths, I tell myself.
Percy suits down on my bed right next to and looks me in the eye.
I scoot away from him and he scoots closer. "I wanted to ask you if you would like to come with me to meet my mom, it's going to be sometime next week and she loves you and stuff. So it would be awesome if you came, please," Percy asked me his voice got an octave higher with every word. He started doing puppy eyes.
Oh my gods, how can I say no to the eyes! They burn into my soul.
"Fine," I said in defeat "whatever". He got up and hugged me with all of his might. And that said a lot for a demigod. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" Percy practically screamed in my ear.
"Oh my gods shut up Percy, you sound as if I just proposed to you." I told him. I tried as hard as I could to sound angry, instead it sounded like I was crying. Go figure. Percy started doing some weirdo dance that would have made a lion run away on fear.
"This," I muttered to myself, "is going to be a very long long week"
