Nico's P.O.V.
I can't believe this was happening. It was in the flash of an eye.
"I don't love you. I never really did. How could I Nico? I guess I tried but it's just too hard. I can't believe I stand as long as I did. Ha!"
"So it's over."
"Goodbye."
I watched him walk out of my cabin. My personal Sunshine. The sob racked my body. Knocking me to the ground. It hit me like a pickup truck. He didn't even look sad. He looked... Bored. He looked like he didn't want to be in the same room as me. The worst part is I knew something like this would happen and I let him in anyway.
I knew. And I did it anyway. I'm such a dumbass. He lied to my face for all those months. "I love you more than anything." He would tell me. He would hold me. The fact that he broke down my walls and told me he loved me so many times. It hurts so bad. He changed me so much. He made me so happy. He would say those three words all the time. At least five times a day. And for it to be all lies. He made me feel so much better. He told me I wasn't alone. He told me that I could be happy. He fed me lies until I was numb. I truly thought that this world was a place for me.
He gave me purpose for a year and seven months. Only to not have loved me? At all? It doesn't even make any sense. Why not just dump me the first month of being together.
Maybe it's because he wanted to break you down. Maybe he thought it was fun to watch you shatter.
I run to the bathroom. I feel sick to my stomach at the thought.
I won't ever hurt you I promise. He had said. All lies. It's not right! Don't I deserve to be happy? I guess not. What am I going to do now?
That night I didn't sleep. And the next night too. When we just started dating... My sleeping habits went to normal. He made me eat and smile and sleep and laugh and be social. He made me a functional human being. I have to get rid of the stuff I have of his. I haven't been out of my cabin in three days. Meaning the only thing I've had to eat or drink is water. So I gather up all his stuff and start towards the Apollo cabin. My hood pulled over my head. I had this planned out. Will would be in the infirmary so there was no chance of seeing him. I knock lightly on the door, my hand just doesn't want to knock any harder.
Kayla swings the door open with a big smile. It melts off her face and she looks about ready to cry. "Nico, Will's not here right now." She says quietly.
"Good. I can't see him so I need you to give these back to him." I hand over his things.
"And... And can you check his bunk and see if my old Black Sabbath sweatshirt is there please?" I ask her.
"Oh of course Nico anything. If you need anything you can always count on me." She says and walks back into her cabin. The usually chaotic and very noisy cabin is dead silent.
"Here you go." She gently places it in my arms like I'm going to break.
"Thank you." I start back to my cabin. I look through an old drawer for some pencils. But instead I find the old letters Will used to write me. As I skim over them I start to cry heavily. I rip the papers to shreds and cry into my hands. I look over at the sweatshirt. It no doubt smells like Will. I climb into the sweatshirt and curl into a ball. The sweatshirt was so big that it eats my whole. You wouldn't even know I was laying there.
I lie there and inhale the scent because it's the last time I'll ever be able to. He's gone and he doesn't what me back. I start to fall asleep from the three days of none.
But I only sleep for an hour and I walk down to the pavilion. I sit down on at the Hades table and McDonald's appears infront of me. I eat a very small number when Percy plops down next to me.
"Hey perce what's up?" I ask.
"Will broke up with you I can tell. I'm going to rip his head off." He says getting up. Will and four girls walk in. Two Hecate girls and Two Aphrodite girls. That's pretty strange but so is this whole week.
"Oh even better! I don't have to hunt the son of a bitch down." He starts to march over but I catch his arm. I stand up.
"I swear to the gods." He rips his arm away. I crack the ground beneath him. He stumbles and sits down. I can feel the shadows around me.
"Don't." I say. Will looks at me and his eyes widen he has the most horrified look on his face. He lurches forward as if to walk over to me but one of the girls catches his arm and he blinks a few times. Then his expression is grossed out. Grossed out by me. They go to sit down and I walk over to Annabeth.
"Keep him away from...him." I squeeze my eyes shut and start to walk away. She grabs my arm and pulls me into a hug. I hug her back but I tense up. I'm going back to all my old habits.
I feel the aura of darkness fade a little when we hugged but now as I walk back to my cabin it becomes ten times worse.
~~~~~~~~
After three weeks I look like my old self. Just a tiny bit worse. It's been about a month sense Will broke up with me. I've noticed he's got a whole new group of friends. Those four girls. One's probably even his girlfriend.
Sometimes if I sleep, I wake up with my promise ring on. The one Will gave me. I couldn't bring myself to throw it away. He promised me forever.
" Shut the hell up." I tell myself. It was just another day at camp half blood. But then chaos broke out. Ten monsters got into camp half blood. It doesn't even make any sense and no one knows how they got in. But all I knew was that I was fighting six of them. Percy was battling with four. But these monsters are huge. I had two down but four more. One of them hit me to the ground and the side of my face started bleeding. I already knew I was going to die. And lately I've wanted to. So I've been super reckless. Maybe if I didn't kill myself someone else would.
I feel my shadows around me. Making me seem a lot bigger and scarier. People around were either too scared of the monsters... Or too scared of me to help.
I look one of them dead in the eye.
"Let's go bitch!" I scream at it. Then out of the corner I see more monsters. Seven more at least. All of Percy's monsters are killed but four more go over to him. The rest come to me. I'm losing count of them. I swipe my sword through two. I go after two more. But then... Something goes straight through my chest. By now Jason and Frank take care of the rest of my monsters. I'm on the ground and I'm pretty much bleeding to death. The monsters sword still stuck in my chest.
Someone is screaming help. Horrified gasps are heard through out the camp. Then there's a blood curdling scream. But it's not from me. Someone screams no. It was probably my sister. They sit me down. "Oohhoo shiiit." I say. It hurts like hell.
People rush around me. But I'm dying and there's nothing to do about it. I would have fought better I would have cared. I would still be fighting for my life. But my reason to fight is gone. I feel the light leave my body and the last thing I will ever think... I hope Will is okay.
