Nico's P.O.V

I ran through the battlefield, trying to find Percy and Annabeth. I could see Annabeth running away without Percy. I look around and see a large wave and I race around it, sprinting towards the son of the sea God. I see a monster grab his neck and throw him far, up into the air. His head hit Festus and the machine exploded. I scream as I get dragged away from the scene.

I wake up, the memories clustering my mind...and tears falling down my face.
I remember that today is the day we clear out Percy's things...but Annabeth won't do it so it left me, Hazel, Frank, Jason and Piper. I get up and shadow travelled to his cabin. The rest of them are there. Everyone is still grieving over Leo and Percy...Jason won't show it to anyone and hides it like me but you can tell that in his eyes he wished he replaced one of them. We open the cabin door and walk in, the scent of sea salt and sea breeze filling the room. "Put everything into boxes, nothing gets thrown away...just like Leo's stuff" Piper says. "You packed away all my stuff?" A familiar voice says. It was Leo. Wait...if he was alive then Percy. "Where's Percy?" Leo asks. I see a caramel haired woman at the door...Calypso. "Can we just hurry Jason?" I ask and Jason nods. Leo comes help while Calypso strolls away. That little... ugh. I begin grabbing stuff and putting it into boxes. Frank opens a drawer and pulls out...envelopes?                                    "There is one for all of us..." Frank says. "Do you wanna read them to us while we are still packing?" Jason asks and Frank passes them to Piper.

Piper goes to read...most of them were about how great of a friend they were.
"Annabeth doesn't have one" Piper says. Wait...do I have one? I shouldn't have got one.
Piper holds up an envelope with my name on and begins to read it

Dear Ghost King,
  
Yes this is kinda awkward, judging by last time we talked we had that giant fight...and I'm so sorry Neeks...I just wanted to tell you everything I am gonna write to you. How I was going to break up with Annabeth, how I was going to survive with you and pick your emo ass up and kiss you like you are the world, and you are Nico. You were the only real reason I stayed with Annabeth, to not ruin what I had with you already. I'm sorry I couldn't do it earlier Nico...and it hurt. It hurt when you left, it hurt when you yelled at me and it hurt when you ignored me for months. I only want for my Nico to be happy...please smile Nico, for me?
Love you so god damn much Nico...and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Love,
            Percy

Everyone stares at me as Piper passes me the letter. I shakily reach out and get it. I read it and look down the letter, as if it was a dream. I feel the tears threatening to fall.

Memory of last time Percy and Nico talked before Percy died

I walk through the Argo. "Nico, can we talk?" Percy asks.
"About what?" I ask. "Well, I wanted to ask why you left? And Piper said you liked someone along with Jason and I wanna know who" Percy asks.
"I left because I did, and you have no right to ask" I say. Percy looks at me. "Why not? We're friends right?" Percy says. I chuckled darkly. "Friends don't kill my sister and act as if nothing happened" I spat. "Nico, I am sorry but please can we just talk?" Percy asks.
"You've done enough talking, go back to your precious Annabeth and leave me alone Percy" I say and walk to my room. I slam the door in Percy's face and turn around. I slide down the back of the door and curl into a ball. I begin to cry, Bianca...and he would never love me so he should stay away.

End of memory

I cry harder...why did I do that to him? I love you too Percy, too much Percy. Why am I such an idiot? I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up to see Jason. "Nico?" Jason asks. I wipe my eyes and try to look annoyed, but it won't work anymore. The others are busy packing but Hazel is watching. The pieces of my heart begin to shatter as I truly realise that he wouldn't come back, that he was gone for good. "He loved me...and I..." I say, tears still falling to the floor. "Nico if you need a minute you can...No one will judge" Leo says. "Jason... I loved him too... and now look what I did!" I shout, getting up. "If I wasn't such an idiot then he wouldn't be dead... I was going to apologise the day he" I say. Jason hugs me as I cry into his shoulder.
"We all wanted to talk to Percy before he died Nico, but we can't" Frank says.
I want to see him again...dad said he was in Elysium. Maybe if I could just ask dad, but he'll say no...
"I wish he was here...I could" I whisper. Jason is stroking my hair while I cry.

I love you Percy, so much...I'm sorry, I wish I was with you but I can't...but I will soon. I promise you that.
