Thalicos begining

May 24 (con) & 25

Percys POV

As I watched Nico stumble into the guest room of my apartment, I could feel Annabeths eyes burning into the back of my head. I closed his door and turned to look at her. Before I could get a word in, she started.

"How exactly do you expect to pull this off if he is literally less than 20 feet away from her. HOW DO YOU THINK THIS IS GONNA WORK?!" She whisper yelled. I took her hand and lead her away from the door.

"The man is drunk, lonely and suicidal. I was afraid to send him home. Do you even see how bad this is affecting him?" Annabeth was taken back by these words. She walked off by the guest room door and paused.

Annabeths POV 

I slowly opend the door to see Nico sitting on the side of the bed, almost in tears. I shut the door and hurridly rushed to his side.

"Nico, she is going to be okay." I tried to reassure him. We sat in silence until he spoke up.

"They have to pull the plug soon and I don't think I can live without her Annabeth. Actually I know I cannot live without her. How am I supposed to take comfort in words that don't hold any ounce of hope in them. I can't do this." He spoke calmly, resting his face in his hands. I took his hands in his and tried to speak, but was cut off.

"I still smell her. Her coconut shampoo and conditioner fragrance follows me. I can't escape her. She has to live. If she dies on me, nothing will be the same." He choked out. I sighed and began to think about the words he is saying.

"Nico, Have I ever lied to you?"

He looked at me confused and shook his head.

"Everything will work out. She has to be at the wedding tomorrow or I will resurrect her and kill her for missing it." A small chuckle escaped from him. He shook his head and looked up.

"Why don't you get some sleep? I promise not to do anything crazy, I wouldn't miss your wedding for anything. You need to sleep before you permanently chain down my best friend." He winked and laughed. I playfully shoved him and stood up. I walked out of the room and shut his door.

Thalias POV

I stared at the guest room in awe. I wanted to walk in and make his pain go away. I wanted to fix things. Percy walked back into the room and did a double take. 

"Your hair. Wasn't it just down to the middle of your back? Like 4 hours ago??" He asked confused. I laughed as Annabeth walked back into the room. I pointed at her and he shrugged. Everyone sat down and looked at each other.

"How is he?Is he okay?" I spat out. Annabeth looked over at me and sighed.

"Well he is clearly drunk off his ass, but he is in pain. He misses you."

"Please let me go in there. Im begging."

Annabeth and Percy shook their head. I sighed and layed my head down on the couch. 

"We have come to far for him to waltz on in here and find out." Percy exclaimed. I could feel tears start to form as I stood. I walked to Annabeths room and slammed the door. It was going to be a long night.

May 25th

I awoke to Annabeth shoving me under the bed. Without asking, I followed her lead and hid. I knew Percy had to be gone, but Nico was still at the house. Almost on cue, Nico walked in and looked around the room.

"What are we going to do. She isn't here."  He quietly uttered. I could feel the pain in his voice. I wanted more than nothing than to reveal myself and hold him.
