Leo's POV
Have you ever had that feeling after you lose something really important to you, that everything is just over. That the world is going to fall apart at any moment. Well that's how I feel right now. Nico and Percy came back, but Nico hasn't even tried to talk to me. I know that Jason had said something to Nico, but I don't know what he said. I do know that Jason punched Percy in the face for me though, I asked him to. Jason has been helping me a lot, he took away my blades, even though I could still find a way to do it because I work with sharp metal objects all day, he checks up on me every day, he lets me cry and yell and just let me feelings out when I need to, he's just been a great friend.
Everytime I see Nico, he looks at me for a while before looking away. He doesn't try to say anything to me, he just looks. He talks to Percy a lot though. I've talked to Hazel a few times, she's really mad at Nico.
"Leo." I looked up from the grass and saw Nico standing in front of me, I looked back down at the grass as soon as our eyes met. "Leo, I want to talk to-" I stood up and walked away. I don't know why, I mean I've wanted to talk to him since he came back, but I just couldn't look at him without seeing the image of him kissing Percy. Nico didn't stop me from walking away.
I walked down to the beach and sat in the sand. I felt small tears start to run down my cheeks, but I didn't try to stop them. For some reason I kept picturing Nico and Percy kissing, then holding hands and laughing, being happy with each other, and as each made up image crossed my mind, the world started to fall apart.
"Really Leo? You just walked away?" Nico was standing behind me.
"Are you here to hurt me even more?" I muttered.
"Stand up and look at me." He said. I stood up, but I didn't look at him, he sighed.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want to know why my boyfriend hasn't tried to talk to me."
"Percy's been talking to you every day, what do you mean he hasn't tried to talk to you." I said, now looking at him.
"Oh my gods Leo." Nico looked pissed.
"What?"
"Really?! Percy isn't my boyfriend, you are." Nico put his hands on his hips.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I crossed my arms.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Nico yelled. I shook my head. "Stop it Leo."
"Don't you have a boyfriend to hang out with right now? A boyfriend who has the name Percy Jackson." I spat.
"YOU ARE MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND YOU ASS HOLE!" Nico shoved me.
"No I am not." I saw tears forming in Nico's eyes. "It was all fake wasn't it. Every time you put 'I miss you a lot' in those letters, you didn't mean it. You never missed me, you were off fucking around with Percy, you probably never even shed a tear for me."
"You're right, you aren't my boyfriend! My boyfriend wouldn't have been so fucked up to kill himself, and my boyfriend wouldn't say any of that to me. My boyfriend would know that I was completely broken when he left me. That I cried every night for him, never talked to anyone because it hurt too much to talk, and that even though he was gone I still loved him. Yeah, you're not my boyfriend, I don't know who would even want you to be their boyfriend, you're too broken. Do you love me? Have you ever loved me Leo? Because right now it seems like you never did."
"If I didn't love you would I have done this?" I rolled up my sleeves and showed him the cuts that formed his name.
"You, you did tha-"
"I did it because I do love you, and I still do right now, but I just can't look at you without seeing the image of you and Percy kissing. It's clear that you don't love me anymore though, I'm just too broken for you."
"Leo I-"
"Have fun with your new perfect, unbroken, boyfriend." I started to walk away, but Nico grabbed my arm.
"Leo s-stop, I didn't mean it, I didn't I swear I-"
"No Nico save it, it's over. You're right, I'm too broken for you." With that I yanked my arm back and walked away, and the world started to fall apart again.
