Can't You See?

Chapter 6

Once we pulled away, Jason stared at us with wide eyes. I knew this was a bad idea. I could feel tears forming in my eyes as Will was about to speak, but I ran away. He probably hated me now. I ran back to my cabin as fast as I could, earning a few glares from campers. I guess I ran by Percy, Annabeth and Leo at some point.

Leo's pov

Percy and Annabeth had their backs turned to me while they were talking. I was just looking around, maybe seeing if there was something around camp that I could fix up, and then I saw something I thought I'd never see. Nico. He was crying. And running. He never runs unless he's forced to, and even then it's more jogging than running.

"Annabeth, Percy." I say, not taking my eyes off Nico.

"Hold on Leo, we're talking." Percy snaps back.

"Percy, seriously, come o-"

Percy then turned around and glared at me. "What do you want?!"

I jump back a little bit from the loud sound of his voice, fear evident on my face.

"I saw Nico crying while running to his cabin, I think." I say, looking down at the ground.

"Oh my gods, okay, let's go. We need to go find him, Nico never cries. Or runs." He says while starting to run after Nico.

I see Will go towards Nico's cabin at one point, but I'm not sure because we're more focused on Nico.

Once we finally get to Nico's cabin, all of the curtains are closed. Annabeth goes up to the door and tries to open it, but it's locked. She looks back at us with worried eyes.

"Neeks?" She asks. No answer.

"Nico, please. It's Annabeth, Percy and Leo, no one else. Please let us in."

After a minute, we heard shuffling from inside, and the door unlocking. As we were walking inside, I could see a figure come up to the cabin, but I closed the door as I got inside.
