02. Teardrops On My Guitar

"Why do we have to play Truth or Dare?!" Grover asked, between confused and scared.

"Cause I say so, Goat Boy!" Thalia replied, smiling slyly "Now, shush!!" she ordered him, focusing on her first victim "Nico! Truth or Dare?" she asked the then ten-years-old.

"Um..."

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be

"Truth" he replied, unsure, feeling everyone's eyes on him.

"Wimp" the daughter of Zeus muttered under her breath.

"Give him a break, Thalia" her cousin Percy, decided to intervene. He tried not to flushed red by his action.

"Fine. Do you... have a crush?" she settled by asking "Don't answer and lose a piece of clothes" she remind him.

"Fine" he agreed, losing his jacket, glancing timidly and quickly to the son of Poseidon.

I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about,

And she's got everything that I have to live without.

"Percy, Truth or Dare?" Grover asked him.

"Truth" he replied, quickly.

"You're wimps" Thalia muttered again.

"Describe your crush" the satyr smirked at his question, ignoring Thalia. He just hoped...

"She's incredible smart, stubborn, talkback, strong enough to kick my ass, independent, beautiful..." he ranted off, blushing a bit.

"Sounds a lot like Annabeth" his friend admitted.

"It's because it's Annabeth" Thalia reaffirmed, smiling slyly. He only gasped in silence, hoping no one noticed that.

Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny

And I can't even see anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,

I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

"...and, in the end, we both ended on the lake" Percy explained his cousin and his friends, making them laugh at him.

"Now I see why Annabeth called you Seaweed Brain!" the son of Hades joked, causing the other one to pout at him. He forgot they weren't alone.

"Yeah, she's right, you know?" he stated, dreamily. He only stared at his cousin, hoping nobody sees his face of hopelessness "I don't know what I'll do when the summer is over without her" he admitted.

"Me neither..." he mumbled under his breath.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Years passed for him to forgave him for his sister's death. The first time he realized what his feelings to the son of Poseidon might be, he was on the Underworld. He cried until he fall asleep. Neither his father, his stepmother/cousin or her step-grandmother/aunt cared about him. His gesture to his Father and the minor Gods after the Second Titan War was the turned around for him.

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?

And there he goes, so perfectly,

The kind of flawless I wish I could be

The first time he saw him on Camp Jupiter, all his hopes came back to him. He was as flawless as he remembered. That confused grin on him that made him admired him. He claimed he had no memories. Maybe it was his time to make emends with him. But he knew in that instant Annabeth was out of her mind looking for him. Wouldn't be fair to all of them?

She better hold him tight, give him all her love

Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause

He was on board of the Argo II. His cousin just jumped to Tartarus with his girlfriend, who he refused to let go. He won't admitted to anyone, but his heart went with him. But, he had to stay strong and lead the crew to the Doors of Death and close them. He hoped that Annabeth never let him go. She'll never get someone like him again.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

So I drive home alone.

As I turn out the light

I'll put his picture down

And maybe get some sleep tonight.

After his encounter with Cupid with the presence of Jason, Nico became isolated from the rest of the Argo II crew. His Roman cousin knew why, and respected his wishes. Nico started to blame himself. Blame himself for the grudge he hold when Bianca died. Blame himself for admiring him. Blame himself for hiding. He tried to stay positive and get a dreamless sleep.

'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart

He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

He's the time taken up, but there's never enough

And he's all that I need to fall into.

When the 'it' couple came back for Tartarus alive, he was more than relief. That lopsided smile was all he needed to breath again. To fall again. It broke his heart he found someone else, but he was happy if he was happy. Even when he's not with him, if he's happy, so is he.

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

"Another day, another fake smile" he encouraged himself, looking his reflection, before stepping out of Cabin 13.
