Medic (A Nico di Angelo story)

Stitches

Will's POV

I walked over and grabed my stitching supplies and an anesthetic to numb Nico's arm and put him to sleep.

I got up and walked over to him and said "Could you lay back?"

I could see the look in his eyes when he said "What is that? You aren't putting that thing in me."

I didn't want to but Nico's kinda forced this on himself. I told him "I was kinda hoping you weren't going to say that. Kayla, Austin I need some help!" I yelled loud enough for my siblings to be able to hear me.

They walked in and asked "What is it Will?" I pointed to Nico and said "Hold him down please."

I saw Kayla and Austin looked at each other then look at Nico and pounced ontop of him holding him down. I think the whole infermary heard him scream "NO! THIS ISN'T FAIR!" 

I walked over and plunged the needle in to his arm. I saw Nico's eyes look heavy after Kayla and Austin got off of him. Nico looked at me with betrayal in his eyes I looked at him and said "I'm sorry death-boy." He then blacked out.

I thanked Kayla and Austin then they wen't back to tend to the other patients. I started to take out the old stitches to fix them. I was sewing up the gashes in his arm the right way when I looked down at his wrist and saw the slight scares.

I knew I only needed about 45 minues to finish and I also knew that this anesthetic would have him out for 3-4 hours. 

I finally finished his stitches. I looked back down at his wrists and saw the slits on his wrists. I knew these weren't from training or fighting. It took me a moment but I soon realized they were from a razor blade.

I fighting to hold back tears. "The amazing and adorable son of Hades is cutting his wrists" I thought to myself. I couldn't help it anymore. I broke down crying. I don't want to but I have to check for more of them. I look at his other wrist and there are more. I was trying to be strong but it's hard. I check his thighs and saw even more. I just lost it all again and couldn't stop them this time. I feel to the ground sobbing.

I got up about 30 minutes later and pulled myself together. That was when I heard to imfermary doors swing open. I looked at the time and in was 7:30 p.m. which means the campfire should be starting soon. 

I looked to who came it and I heard voices talking. I turned the corner to see Percy and Jason talking. I said "Can you 2 be quiet please we have patients sleeping. Including Nico so please don't wake him."

Percy and Jason both shut-up and I realized I said it in a very harsh tone. They looked at me and I said sorry.
