Held Back From You (A Leo Valdez Love Story)

Chapter Ten

Alexx

"I will ban you from seeing Leo. I'm serious." Nico rambled on while we walked to our cabin.

"Yea yea Nico. Might I remind you that I control you and not the other way around?"

"What you don't control me! I control myself." Nico protested haughtily.

"Whatever Nico." I was finished talking. I needed sleep.

"Whatever Alexx." Nico mimicked me.

I sighed and stormed off to the master bedroom.

"Oh no wait no stop!" Nico yelled and ran after me.

"What?!" I spun angrily to be inches away from Nico's face.

"You and Leo made out on my bed so I'm sleeping in the master. Remember much?" Nico smirked.

"Ugh!" I threw my hands up in the air and ran to flop onto one of the smaller beds in the main room.

"Yea ugh." Nico smiled before disappearing into the supposed to be my master bedroom.

I mumbled into the random pillow I was lying on. I mentally cursed out Nico, myself, Leo, and even Chaos.

I scrambled under the covers and fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up the next morning, my back was hurting and I had a sore neck.

I looked around and put my palms onto the cold hard floor.

I groaned and lay back down carefully.

"Stupid bed too small." I muttered and sighed.

"How did you sleep?" Nico said and came out of the master walking with swag.

"I hate you!" I groaned.

"No! You monster! Thou shan't hate Nico!"

I rolled onto my stomach and stood up slowly.

"Leave me alone. I'm tired and angry. I will punch you if you don't shut up."

"I'm going to breakfast." Nico decided and left.

I curled up onto the bed again and closed my eyes. I sorted out what I was going to do today. I needed to find Piper. Then I needed to see Leo and talk to Percy and Chaos.

"Okay." I told myself and began to change. I put on shorts, my orange shirt and Nike Blazers.

I ate breakfast and ran to find Percy.

He was sitting with Annabeth at the volleyball court.

"Hey Percy! I wanted to ask you something about Leo."

"Sure shoot." Percy smiled and removed his arm from around Annabeth's shoulder.

"Does he prefer daggers or swords?"

"I actually think he prefers hammers." Percy cocked his head to the side. "Why?"

"Oh... Shit." I muttered. "I want to make him something. Like a prank." I made up on the spot.

"Oh." Percy laughed. "Make sure it's a good one so that it gets him back for everything he's done to me."

"Kay. I will. Thanks." I ran away quickly talking to myself about how awkward that was.

I was running to the forest when I heard a voice ahead of me.

I slipped behind a thick tree and looked up to see Chaos's angry face staring back.

"Well I see you've been having fun." Chaos commented lazily.

"Have you still been watching me?!" I pouted. I crossed my arms and stuck out one leg.
