(Ok guys, i know it's lame to put an authors note right before the chapter, but I need you guys to know that I would never personally ever ever EVER use the word"fag" but. It is kind of essential for the story so. I just thought I'd let you guys know that. And I'm sorry that your comment was deleted @azril101, but I just want you to know that I appreciate people commenting on my stories and I was not the one who put yours on review or anything. Speaking of commenting, I will not and mean will NOT tolerate any hate. I can take some criticism, but that's about as far as I go. Ok. I'm done with this extremely long authors note. Oh and one more thing. I don't have a person to look at my stuff before its published, so please disregard any typos or misspellings. )

*Nicos POV*
Leo got a devilish smirk on his face then it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Hazel and Frank stood in the doorway, with their jaws so low, that if they dropped anymore, they would go into Tarturus. Hazel looked shocked and disappointed while Frank just looked shocked. But the difference was that Hazel just looked really mad and Frank just looked shocked. Hazel spoke first. "Leo, get away from my brother you fag" Leo, Frank, and I gasped at the same time when she said the "f" word. I got off Leo and retrieved my shirt from the ground and tossed Leo his. "You know, I always thought that out of all people, YOU would have been the most supportive" I snarled at Hazel, glaring at her as we stormed out.
*Leo's POV*
I was relieved. Not that Nico was going to be extremely depressed when he got over his rage, but the fact that Hazel and Frank knew he was gay. But, what bothered me the most was that Hazel didn't seem disappointed in him. She looked and sounded like she was mad at ME. Which I'm bisexual, not gay, so she doesn't really have any reason to like be like that. And just like what if she has something against gays? That's her problem not mine. It would crush Nico's heart though and I cant bare to see him in pain. Speaking of pain, apparently running into a tree really hurts. Says the idiotic person who ran into said tree. Nico didn't even glance back as he kept walking. I didn't know where we were, but I shook off all the dirt and kept following my Neeks.
*Nicos POV*
I cant believe that Hazel would call Leo such a horrible name. I mean, how could anybody stand to be that rude and mean when said person is normally so kind and accepting. I heard a thunk and was relieved that he was still following me. At least that means he still somewhat cares. Or maybe hes waiting until I stop to break up with me. I slightly picked up my pace, hoping to evade the Latino boy who was still calling my name. The woods slowly gave to the sandy shore of the Atlantic. I stopped in my tracks, and Leo finally caught up to me and not realizing I had stopped, ran into my back. I fell face-first into the sand, with him on my back. There was a deep chuckle as my cheeks caught on fire. Leo, instead of getting off of me, decided to lean right by my ear. "Caught you" he huskily whispered. I felt myself shiver even though it was like 90 degrees out side and I was wearing my aviator jacket. I felt him give my butt a squeeze before he finally got off of me. My face felt so hot it could've been hotter than Apollo's sun chariot. Leo tried to help me up, but I shrugged it off, not missing the hurt look on his face. I looked around, finally spotting what I was looking for. I took off running, scaring the Hephaestus out of Leo, and dove into the shadows, and let them take me wherever.
