Nico's Pov

   We are heading back on the Argo ll to Camp and the seven decided it would be fun to play truth or dare so here I am sitting in the corner watching them play.

"Come on, Nico. Don't you want to come play Truth or Dare, with us? It's such a fun game!" Piper squeals at me and I feel like it actually would be fun to play Truth or Dare with them. I quickly walk over and sit down beside Jason and Hazel in the circle. I shake my head and frown as Piper asks,

"Truth or Dare, Nico?"

I growl at her, "You charmspoke me."

"Yes, I did, get over it. Now, Truth or Dare?" she said dryly and I considered which option I should choose. If I choose Dare they'll make me do something ridiculous and I'll never live it down, but Truth might spill my darkest secrets and even though I can't have that, I'm not in the mood to get up and do something insane.

"Truth." she gives me a suprised look, but nonetheless asks,

"Why do you like being alone?" I feel like immediately answering the truth, so I spit it out without thinking.

"I don't." I regret ever playing, I should have just stormed out after she charmspoke me to play. They all give me looks of shock and it irritates me.

"What, just because I am alone doesn't mean I want to be! I don't hate everybody like you probably assume! Ridiculous. " I mutter the last part to myself as I storm out. I run through hallways when I finally just stop and collapse against the wall. I hear footsteps and I attempt to dry my eyes as Jason walks around the corner.

He crouches down beside my and encloses me in a hug as he whispers, "I'm sorry." I cry into his chest as he rubs my back. My tears stain his shirt as I snuggle my face into his chest and he tucks his neck ontop of my head. I let his warmth overwhelm my senses as I try to stop embarrassing myself.

I dry my eyes as he runs his fingers through my hair. I sigh as he stands up. "I need to go back there so they don't come looking for us, are you going to be alright?"

I want nothing more than to say no and let him hold me until I piece myself together then we can sneak away together before the rest can find us, but I know I can't do that. He's just a friend and if I suddenly become clingy I won't have any left, "Y-Yeah."

As he walks away I think two things: 1) What are they going to think when they see the tear stains on his shirt and 2) I'm pretty sure I just got over Percy Jackson.

So yeah, that happened. Hope you liked it and all.
