A Letter a Day (Sequel to Broken but Mended)

The Letter

"Nico di Angelo don't you dare cut yourself!" I opened my eyes and saw Hazel standing in front of me. She looked angry and sad. Hazel carefully took the blade out of my hand.

"Hazel I-I didn't mean to say that you were the worst half sister ever. I'm sorry." I stood up.

"I don't care Nico. You were mad."

"But Hazel-"

"Nico you need to read the letter that Leo left you." I cringed when she said his name. I haven't even touched the letter since I brought it back to my cabin, every time I went to open it I pulled me hand back and just looked at it. It's the last letter he wrote to me. If I open it I will be reminded that there won't be anymore letters from him.

Hazel looked through my dresser until she found the letter. She grabbed it and brought it over to me. My hands were shacking, but I took the letter from her.

"I can't Hazel." I muttered, staring at the neat letters written on front "To Nico my love."

"Nico you have to read it." Hazel whispered.

"Why?"

"He told me that it is important." I slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the neatly folded letter.

He never made the letters this neat, it must be important.

I looked up at Hazel, she looked back at me.

  Dear Nico,

        Nico I know that you are reading this because I am no longer living, and before I say anything else I just want you to know that it isn't your fault that I made this choice. I just simply couldn't take the rude comments, getting beat up, and seeing you hurt so much. I know that you aren't happy that I'm gone, but please just be happy. Forget all about me, forget that I ever existed. Don't be distant, talk to everyone. Let them know that you're still in there okay? Don't push people away, let them help you okay? Nico I really love you. Don't you dare start cutting again Nico. I swear, if you do I will be all ghostly and sneak into your cabin and color all your clothes rainbow colors. That isn't the most threatening thing on earth, but you get my point. Don't do it, please. I am in tears writing this right now, and I don't want to be writing it, but I have to. Nico I need you to know that even though I'm not there anymore to make you smile, you can still smile and laugh and be happy. I just want you to be happy. Don't try to come down to the underworld to find me, I'm not going to talk to you if you do end up finding me. You just need to forget. Forget everything about me and be happy please. I know it isn't easy for you to be happy, but you need to be okay?  I know how you will get, you won't talk to anyone, you won't eat, you will cry yourself to sleep at night, and you just simply won't forget. Don't be like that though. Prove me wrong. Laugh about how I really don't know you, do anything but ignore everyone and everything. Please Nico. I really love you. I love you to the moon and back, and I don't want to leave you, but I know that you will find someone else to be happy with. I'll see you again I promise, but if I see you anytime soon I swear on the River Styx I won't even look at you. Crack some cheesy jokes for me okay? I love you Nico.

                                                                                                  Love, Leo Valdez

I quickly got rid of my tears, though more tears started to fall down my cheeks as soon as the old ones were gone.

"I miss him Hazel." I whispered.

"I know you do Nico, but he wanted you to be happy-"

"How does he expect me to be happy without him?"

"He knew how strong you are, he thought you would get over him."

"He thought wrong." I muttered. "The only reason I was strong before, was because he was here. He was like the part of me that knew how to love and to be happy and strong. But when he died, that part of me died too. I want him back Hazel." I sat on the edge of my bed.

"I know Nico."

"All I want for christmas is him." I whispered.
