Get out!

He knew. About everything.

*******Nico's PoV*********
He was sweating and shaking. During the night someone had changed him into white hospital clothing instead of his normal kaki shorts and T-shirt. I hated seeing him like this but I couldn't do anything. Percy had told Lou Ellen that he had had a vision about it being Apollo, and the Hecate cabin had immediately started brewing something up that would possibly work. They would be done this afternoon. I had woken up at sunrise and run to the infirmary films with guilt. Since then I had been sitting at his side holding his hand. It had been so natural for me to take it, and I only noticed it a while later. The i figures it wouldn't hurt for me to keep holding it.

Percy had visited about an hour earlier. He hadn't talked a lot, only standing there looking at Will with a hand on my shoulder. Rachel had been there too. She had asked what really had happened and I had told her. She saw me crying but I didn't care. This was all my fault, and I cringed onto the tiny hope that the antidote would actually work, even though big part of me highly doubted it.
I squeezed his hand and angrily wiped away my tears. I should just have let Apollon do whatever he wanted and none of this would have happened. As soon as I thought that I could almost hear Will yell at me. He knew me well enough to know what I was thinking just by the look in my eyes. I looked down at him and begged for him to wake up, to stop me.
He didn't.
I stood up and waved at a Apollo-kid. He walked up to me with furrowed brows.
"What's up? Anything new?"
I shook my head and looked him in the eyes.
"If he wakes up while I'm gone tell him I'm sorry" he looked hesitantly at me but nodded. I walked out in the sun and towards the forest. In my mind I begged for this not to work, but just as I knew the antidote wouldn't work, I knew this would. Or at least the worst part of it would. I could only hope it would have any effect.

*****************

"I knew you'd come back" he smiled at me and I felt my stomach go crazy like all the times the real Will had done exactly the same. Apollo had managed to copy Wills crooked grin, and I hated it. Why was he so good at being Will.
"Turn back to yourself Apollo"
He smiled to me while transforming to his usual self. Tall, blonde and muscular, with a sharp jaw-line. As multiple times earlier I wanted to agree with Thalia that Apollo was Hot!
I knew his personality, and what to others looked like a hot teenage dude to me looked like a thousand year old god who had lost the last bit of humanity and warmth, and instead had become ice. A dead star, once a sun shining bright, reduced to ice cold matter.
"I'm glad you changed your mind. It would be a shame to have Will be frozen forever wouldn't it." He said it with a smile. I hated him.
"Just freeze him up. And promise to never touch him again" I stared at him as angrily as I dared but I felt him see right through my hard exterior and into the breaking heart beneath. He knew of my feelings towards Will and he had always known. He was only playing me and I was his goddamn Boy-Toy. I tried to fuel my anger but what should have been downright anger turned into fear and despair. He sensed me breaking, but of course he didn't do anything about it.

"His freedom won't be cheap" he said. I had known it even before my plan had fully formed. This was why I had hoped I wouldn't be able to find Apollo in the forest. I nodded.

He was in front of me before I could add anything. His hands were around my neck, and his lips against mine. But this time wasn't like that time in my cabin. It wasn't rough and passionate. It was soft and only lasted a few seconds before he pulled away. Suddenly his eyes were sunken, and he didn't look like the cool hot football player anymore. He had even lost weight and height, so he was about my size now.

"Goodbye Nico"

I was too confused to say anything. What the hell had just happened. Apollo looked me in the eyes as he disappeared. My legs broke under my weight and I collapsed in the middle of the forest, hoping no one would come by. My only hope was that Apollo had released Will.
I would never come back. How could I. I had an awful feeling that Will would know everything when he woke. Rachel had sworn not to tell anyone, but it didn't really matter if Will found out. He was the one it had been important to keep it from. Maybe I had never had a chance with him, but as long as he didn't know about my feelings we could be friends. As if It wouldn't be bad enough for him to know about that, but if he found out about me kissing his father disguised as him he would surely vomit right away. And I would understand. I'd be heartbroken of course, but I had never expected anything less. Gosh why couldn't I just go back to my dads palace In the underworld. Everything was easier with the dead.

But as I tried shadow traveling nothing happened. Percy's words rung for my ears; you push everyone away and think you do us a favor but you don't... you can save Will and yourself.
I had no idea why my powers didn't work but somewhere I was glad they didn't. I had run away from everything too many times. This time I had to face my problems, even if that meant being outed by the entire camp. Maybe my dad would let me return if I had no where else to go.

I walked back through the forest, more than once considering turning away. As I reached the edge of the woods a to. Of demigods we're standing around the infirmary. Suddenly you heart skipped a beat and before I knew anything of it i was pushing my way through the crowd. I'm the middle stood a blonde boy with the most gorgeous blue eyes. He seemed to be looking at the crowd searching for someone. As always i lost control of myself when he was there.

"Will!" I yelled and buried my bed in his shoulder. He hugged me back tightly, but I felt the same awkwardness I had felt a few days earlier when he looked at me. Oh! I thought. Of course he felt awkward hugging me. He knew. About everything. Quickly I let go and took a few steps back while muttering an apology. Everyone else seemed to be looking at us and my cheeks became red. So did his. Rachel came from the other side, breaking the silence. Even though Will was the one who had been in god-sleep she hugged me. Shocked by the last few hours I. Hugged her back tightly, but I didn't miss that weird look on Wills face even though he tried to hide it.

He was disgusted by me.
