I laid with Nico for a while enjoying his warmth, but I soon had to leave for breakfast "I love you" I said quickly kissing him goodbye.
As I was walking down to breakfast I ran into Leo.
"Hey Elise" He said half heartedly.
I felt an odd tugging in my heart.
"Uh. Hi Leo" I said nervously.
"Listen before you tell me which one of us you chose I wanted to say I like you a lot and if you choose Nico I still want to be friends" He said quickly.
I was surprised and a little relieved.
He had just taken a lot of stress off of me but I felt like a jerk breaking the news to him.
"I'm really glad you said that Leo" I started.
This was really hard to do. I didn't know why but I felt regret I had started to even talk about it.
"I think that it's only fair I stay with Nico because I was with him first" I said.
The words left a bitter taste in my mouth and I could tell the words hurt Leo.
"I do have feelings for you though" I said to him trying to make him feel better.
He looked at me and said "That makes this worse Elise".
I could see the words hurt him like a stab to the heart.
His eyes were filling with tears but he wouldn't let himself cry.
My heart hurt and I felt like crap. I knew Leo was heart broken because I had chosen Nico so I quickly walked away to try to my avoid guilt.
When I sat down at my table for breakfast I saw that Percy had already arrived.
He looked at me and said "Well aren't you looking beautiful today sis".
He was being sarcastic and I knew it.
"Not in the mood" I muttered sadly.
His expression changed from a sarcastic joy to an angry one.
"What did Di Angelo do?" He asked me sternly.
"Nothing it was actually my fault" I said distantly.
He looked at me suspiciously "What did you do then?" He asked.
"I really don't want to have this kind of a conversation with my brother" I snapped.
Although I wished I hadn't worded it like that because Percy's eyes went wide and he grew furious.
"DO NOT TELL ME YOU LET HIM DO THAT!" He shouted.
"No, no it's not like that" I hurried to explain.
He calmed slightly "Do I have to call mom?" he asked still upset.
"No" I said still trying to calm him "I just need to talk to Annabeth about this" I finished.
I could tell he was unsure about me but I ignored my annoying big brother and went to find Annabeth.
"Hey can we talk?" I asked when I found her at the Athena table. She nodded and we went for a walk.
"What's wrong" She said when we finally found a quiet place to talk. I explained everything about Nico and Leo and how I've been greeting weird tugs in my heart.
"Well" She started after I finished. "You're definitely in a tough position here. I think that you made the best decision you could" she said.
"Then why do I feel lousy about it I mean I feel like someone has ripped me apart." I said miserably.
She looked at me with sad eyes and gave me a hug. "I can only sort of imagine what you're going through" she said. "The same thing happened with me, Percy and Luke" she told me.
I realized what she meant. She was once stuck between to boys once too. Except her choice was a little more obvious than mine.
My heart still hurt and I realized why.
I had picked Nico and left Leo and in the process my heart broke.
But why?
