Text you later (Percy x Nico) boyxboy

Chapter 6, old habits

Nico's POV

I woke up to the buzz of my phone

Kelp head: how are you love? Xx

Ghost king: not great :( x

Kelp head: YOU PUT A KISS AT THE END OMG IM HAVING A FAN GIRL ATTACK I SHIP YOU TO SO MUCH. WOOP! OTP.

Kelp head: sorry Leo keeps stealing my phone xx

Ghost king: I figured

Kelp head: is there anyway I could make you feel any better cutie? Xx

I blushed at the nickname and responded

Ghost king: nah, I don't think so. I just Need to rest.

Kelp head: actually Im kinda getting tired of texting. I'm going to just call you if that's ok xx

I fan girled a bit and quickly typed 'sure' trying to play it cool. A minute or two later my phone rang, playing the song 'heaven nor hell' by Volbeat. I quickly picked up.

"Hello?" I spoke into the phone

"Hey Ghost king" the voice on the other end spoke.

His voice was soothing and it almost seemed to put me in a trance. I know this sounds Extremely soppy and cliché but it was like music to my ears. The voiced matches the little blurry memory of the boy who carried  me to the infirmary perfectly. I don't Exactly remember what  he looked like, besides his eyes. Wonderful sea green eyes, so deep I could drown in them and seeing as I can't swim that would be quite likely.

"Uh... Nico? You still there?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah sorry"

The voice chuckled quietly and I felt like I was going to melt.

"So, what are you going as for Halloween?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.

"That would be a surprise my darling" he said

"Oh, ok."

"Have you decided if you want to come to the dance or not? Just remember that You would finally get to meet me in person."

I sighed "fine I'll go, I hope it's not as bad as it sounds though." I say, keeping up my act

"Trust me, you'll have fun" he spoke. I still couldn't get over how Wonderful his voice was.

"Have fun at what?" I heard Leo say in the background.

"The dance, stupid" he replied.

" I'm not stupid, your stupid, last week I had to show you how to operate the microwave!" Leo said.

"That's cuz you set our other one on fire and got some weird one were the instructions were in Spanish! Your the only one here who speeds Spanish!" He responded.

"Not true! Reyna speaks Spanish too" Leo said.

"She doesn't count, she and calypso are never home anyway!"

By this time I was full on laughing at there stupid little argument. They were acting like 5 year olds arguing over who's faster. I haven't laughed in years but it felt good.

"Nico... Are you.... Laughing?" The boy on the phone asked.

"Huh, yeah I am I guess" I said

"We'll you should laugh more often, it sounds amazing"

In the back ground I heard Leo yell
'WAIT YOU GOT NICO TO LAUGH?!?!??' And then I herd jason say 'Leo, chill before you set something else on fire' and I could only imagine him wrapping an arm around Leo or something. I dunno.

"Crap I gotta go" I heard the boy say.

"Ok bye, it was nice talking to you" I said.

"Bye, love you" he said and hung up before I could repond.

He... He loves me?....

How is that even possible. I'm useless. I'm worthless. And worst of all a disgrace.

The horrible thoughts started rushing in my head.

Octavians right, your a worthless fag, a waist of air an you probably deserve all the times he beat you up. I thought. I began to cry.

See, you are weak, you put yourself into this state, he just said he loved you and you go and ruin it instead of cherishing it you stupid price of shit.

*trigger warning, meant ions if self harm*

By now I was in the bath room, looking for my razor blade. I rolled up my sleeves to reveal the many  scars littered across my wrists.

You just got out of doing this Nico, you've been clean for two months now. I thought to myself.

One last time wouldn't hurt though, this will be the last time I ever do it. I thought.

I slowly ran the blade across my pale wrist, replacing the emotional pain with physical pain. I cringed as it stung at first  but I enjoyed it. It brought me Back to reality, proved to me I still had feelings  somewhere even though those feelings are pain. Proved to me I'm even real.

1 cut

2 cut

3 cut

4

5

6 cuts all along my fore arm, I repeated the same in the other arm. Letting the Beautiful shade of thick, red liquid to drip from my arm, into the sink.

I rinsed  the blood off my arms and wrapped them with bandages. After cleaning up I headed back to my room an pretended to sleep. It was still pretty early so Bianca should just be waking up around now, and I don't want her finding out I was awake an turning back to my old habits, she was the only one that knew. She was the one who convinced me to stop... Until now anyway...

I heard footsteps in the hall eh and a soft knocking at my door

"Nico I know your up. Why Is there blood in the bathroom!" She asked, voice full of concern.

I just froze, not knowing what to do.

A/n: cliff hangarrrrrr. What will Nico tell herrrrr?! And leave suggestions as to what Percy's costume should be as I have no idea what , I have an idea for Nico but feel free to leave ideas for him too, who knows? Your ideas might be better then mine, actually they probably are. Anyway give me ideas or what ever. Hoped you like the chapter and bye for now my little kittes :3
