Confused

to find Nico

Npov

I wake up in the infirmary. Then it hits me why I'm in here. I feel something wet on my hand. I look over and see Will crying.

Does he think I'm dead? If so why is he crying? Why does he care if I'm dead or not?

I get an idea. I smirk. "Doctor Solace get your butt back to work."

He jumps and looks at me surprised. I sit up. He smiles.

"I'm glad you're not dead." He then frowns.

"Are you sure about that?"

"What? Oh yeah I'm just thinking. Anyway I should go. Um bye."

"Well I'm leaving bye." I stand up.

"Wait! Please sit back down." I sit down then he sits next to me.

He looks like he's going to throw up.

"What's up?"

"Why did you do that?"

"Because I can and I wanted to."

I wasn't going to tell him the reason why I did it.

"Please stop. I don't want to see you hurt." He looks like he's on the verge of tears.

"No one likes me. I don't belong here. I would be doing everyone a favor if I died so I don't see why you care."

He looks like he's at a lost for words.

"Also I decided I'm leaving camp for good and this time you can't change my mind."

Tears start rolling down his cheeks. "No. No, no, no please stay I'll do anything. Just please stay because I-"

I didn't let him finish because I shadow traveled away to my cabin and started packing. Will ran in and grabbed my hands so I couldn't continue packing.

He was still crying. "Nico please don't leave."

"Let me go."

I try to get my hands out of his.

"Nico please."

I get my hands out of his grip. I zip up my bag and shoulder it then walk out of my cabin with Will walking right behind me.

"Why do you want to leave?"

I hear him stop so I stop and face him. Without even thinking I say "Because I like you OK?"

His jaw drops and his eyes are wide. I run away and shadow travel.

I knew it he doesn't really like me. I'm staying away from camp until I can get over this stupid crush.

He likes me back. Wait he always thought I didn't really like him back. Now he's gone probably forever. Maybe I can find him. But what if he doesn't like me anymore when I find him?

I feel my heart beating fast.

I'll find him. I have to. Before he dies or and I know this probably sounds selfish but also before he falls in love with someone else. I want him to be mine I love him.

I dash to the big house to ask Chiron to go a quest to find Nico.
