Nico's POV

"What did he do?" Hazel asked curiously. 

I shook my head, uncomfortable. "He's too----open--"

"Open. . . . how?"

"He wants me to meet him in the forest at dawn."

"For what?"

"Nothing. Nevermind. I have to go."

"I wish things were different."

"But they aren't, Hazel." I snapped. Tears filled my eyes. 

"I'd rather be dead. I'd rather be dead then live here." 

"But I'd miss you. So much."

She hugged me tightly. "You're like my big brother." 

I hugged her tightly. "You gave me a family." I whispered. "And what have I done to repay you?"

I was in love with the sunshine doctor.

And the worst part?

He liked me back.
