Nico's P.O.V
This was going to be my last words. My last words to him. My last words to this camp. And maybe even the world. Depends. I know where I'm going. Now that I really don't have anything left here. Even more than before. Will doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. Jason's never here. Percy and Annabeth are about to go to college. Hazel and Frank are in Rome. So, what's the point. I have a home. I have three. But from the moment I was born. I had one true home.
So that's where I'll go. I'll most likely end up traveling. What happens when you're in love with someone, but they don't love you back.
"Nico... I can't do this anymore! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I just can't." He had told me.
"But... Why?" I had asked him.
"I do love you. I always will. But this isn't working." Tears had fallen down his face and mine were still coming at full speed.
" I don't....I... I love you too Will."
"Goodbye Nico Di Angelo." He had whispered. And he walked out of my life. So when I broke my arm two weeks later, he didn't even look twice.
This was all a month ago. He even got a new boyfriend. He was happy. I was not. But they broke up. So as I walk up to the dinning hall, I think. Do I really want to disappear forever?
But the answer was of course a yes. Yes I do.
I'm the last act to go on. Camp Half Blood, is having a talent show. They set up a stage, with lights and blah blah blah. Everyone from camp was here, and even a bunch of Romans. I sit backstage with the acoustic guitar I borrowed from Piper. I watch as the acts go on. The Apollo cabin did an act. So when they walked on and off, I made sure they couldn't see me. So as they announced my name for up next, the chattering stopped bluntly. No one made a Pepe. *insert Lenny face*
I walked onstage and sat down on the wooden stool with my guitar.
Play the song please 😊😊
I start to play the chords.
"Summer after high school, when we first met. We'd make out in your mustang to radio head, and on my eighteenth birthday, we got matching tattoos." My voice is soft and so is the guitar.
"Used to steel your parents liquor, and climb to the roof, talk about a future, like we had a clue, never planned that one day, I'd be losing you." Sure some of the lyrics didn't fit the situation perfectly. But they were pretty damn close.
"In another life, I would be your boy, we'd keep all our promises, be us against the world. In another life, I would make you stay, so I don't have to say you were the one that got away, the one that got away." Will Solace was, the one who got away. And I will never forgive myself for letting him go. I should have made him stay.
"I was June and you were Johnny Cash, never one without the other, we made a pact, sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, ooh whoa, oh, someone said you had your tattoo removed, I saw you downtown, singin' the blues, it's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse." My voice cracks and I feel the tears In my eyes.
"In another life, I would be your boy, we'd keep all our promises, be us against the world. In another life! I would make you stay, so I don't have to say, you were the one that got away, the one that got away. The oonne, the one, the OooOnNEee. Oh the one the one the one," The tears fell from my eyes and kept coming. But wasn't going to stop. I kept playing and singing.
" all this money can't by me a time machine, noo oh oh, can't replace you with a million rings, no oh ooh oh oh. I should have told you what you meant to me. Whoa oh oohh." And that's really when the tears started to come. I looked into the crowd. Everyone looked sad. Percy was crying and so was Hazel.
"But now I pay the price." I sing a little differently than I have the rest of the song.
"In another life! I would be your boy we keep all our promises, be us against the world, in another life! I would make you stay! So I don't have to say you were, the one that got away, the one that got awayyyyy!! Oh whoa ooh ohhhh! The one, in another life! I would make you stay. So I don't have to say, you were, the one that got away. The one that... Got away..." I strum the guitar one last time. And the lights go out. The curtains pull. And the crowd erupts In clapping and cheering. Whistles. I stand up and wipe my tears away, and set down pipers guitar. I don't stick around. I run to my cabin. And grab my bags.
Third Persons P.O.V
The seven, plus Reyna and minus Leo, get up and run to the front of camp. Nico pulls his luggage to meet them. A very sad and now confused Will left sitting.
"Leo, where are they going?" Will asks the Latino elf boy.
"To say goodbye to Nico, Will. He doesn't want to be at camp anymore. That was his goodbye. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go say goodbye." Leo tells him and brushes him off. Will's eyes widen and he covers his mouth with his hand. He starts to cry again.
Nico hugs Reyna first. She kisses his cheek and tells him she loves him. And then he hugs Jason who was crying like a baby. And then shakes Leo and Frank's hand. He kisses hazels forehead and squeezes her.
"I'll see you around sis." He tells her. He hugs Percy, Percy lifts him in the air and bear hugs him as the others walk away.
"We love you so much Nico," Percy says wiping away tears.
"We do," Annabeth says as she takes her turn in hugging the Son Of Hades.
"Goodbye." He says and walks out of camp.
Everyone who said goodbye, stopped in their tracks as they watched Will Solace fly by.
"Nico! Wait! Please wait!" He screams as he flies out of the camp. Nico turns around right as he's about to shadow travel away. Nico looks at Will.
"Nico please listen to me." Will pleads tears running down his face.
"No. Why should I? It's been a long time wouldn't you say? I already said goodbye, that was it." Nico says he looks away because of his tears.
"I met this boy. He was shy and stubborn. He made me feel so much better. He wanted to be left alone and I bugged him. I was falling so in love with him. And eventually, after a long time, I started to crack his shell. And then I kissed him. And it made me wake up. And then we started dating and everything was amazing. It was the best time of my life. And then I met another boy. He fed my lies and made me feel different. He convinced me that I didn't love the other boy. And then I made the worst! Mistake of my life and I let him go. All that time. And I broke the boy who mattered to me the absolute most. And then this other boy and I started to date. And he convinced me I was happy. But I wasn't. Not with out him. Not without Nico Di Angelo. And I broke his heart." Will fell to his knees.
"Why would I do such a thing? Why am I so stupid?! I started to miss Nico. I started to feel so bad. More than I already had. And then, I was straight miserable. And then, he showed me, you showed me Nico. I'm an idiot. I should have held on for dear life. Not let go. Because... Now.... I might not get you back." Will stands up and wipes his tears away.
"I love you more than anything in this world. And I am so so sorry." Will says and looks at Nico.
"Will. I..." Nico starts.
"It's okay Nico. You don't have to say or tell me anything. I understand." Will says and turns around, he starts to walk back into camp. Nico runs after him and grabs his arm. He spins him around and pulls will down. He connects their lips and they kiss. Will wraps his arms around Nico. Nico wraps his arms around Will's neck.
"But next time William... I'll let Reyna break all the bones in your body." Nico whispers in Will's ear.
"Well, good thing there won't be a next time." Will says and Kisses Nico again.
