The Bad Ending

Nico

Percy pulled away from the hug and Nico was still crying. But a flash of guilt ran through Percy's face. "What is it Percy?" Nico asked looking into the green eyes he loved so much. Percy sighed and held Nico's hands with his own. "I need to tell you something, I owe you the truth. Yes, it's true Octavian and I used to date. But that's not it. He was very kind to me. Everyone thought... he was the one that abused me... the one that made me try to kill myself... but it wasn't. It was never him. It was always me..." Oh my gods... Percy was coming clean. Nico's heart lurched and guilt consumed him like the plague. "I... I loved him so much... but then after that day I tried drowning myself..." 

~ magical flashback ~

This had been it. I had said all my goodbyes... My mom was at home waiting for me, Jason was waiting for him at the library, Piper was in the bathroom, Frank was home, Hazel was in debate club, Octavian was parked outside waiting for me... there was no one to stop me. This was happening now. At least that's what I thought... After I jumped in the pool, I was slowly dripping away from life. I was finally going to be happy. But someone jumped in, and saved me. And I hated him for it. Leo was doing CPR trying to save me. Trying to fix me. And it worked. I lived to tell the tale. But I hated Leo until this year when I finally realized I was stupid. I owe him everything. Including my love for you.

Percy stared down at Nico tears filling his eyes. "After that day... I broke up with Octavian because I didn't want to cause him any more pain. But I just made this worse. He became heart broken and abusive... It was my fault though.. it's always my fault..." he whimpered as NIco hugged him and shook his head. "No that's not true Percy! You didn't make him hurt you! He was heart-broken but you didn't kill him... Look now he's your best friend!" Nico urged trying to swallow the guilt that kept eating at him. Percy silently cried in his arms, how the small boy wished he could read minds. 

Finally, they were at Olympus. Percy had to choose. Zeus stood before him ready to turn the sea prince into a god. Percy grasps Nico's hand tightly and smiled at him. "Lord Zeus I-" he started to say but somebody bursts through the door and they turned to look at him. "Octavian?" Percy asked and Nico blood ran cold. Octavian, out of breath, shouted out. "Nico... he... he's the one that beat you..." and with that he fell to the ground panting. Percy froze completely and looked at Nico with wide eyes. "Wh...what?" he stuttered out tears forming in his eyes. Nico tried explaining himself, but Percy let go of his hand and pushed him away. "Percy I-" "No! You...I..I loved you!" he yelled having a panic attack. "Percy please let me-!" Nico yelled again as Zeus silenced them. "You have came! And you will become a god!" with the snap of his fingers. Percy glowed with sea green aura. And he was hot. He was wearing a blue toga and greek leaf crown on his head. But he was crying. And he couldn't stop. 

Percy became the god of rain. Without Nico... he was forever alone. Forever cursed to see the ones he loved leave him. Forever.
