Leave Your Lover

Chapter 6

Jason and I sat on a spare bunk. After us both staring at one another I blurted everything. Even my big mistake. Jason nodded most of the time and said things like, "Oh, that really must suck." Or "Yeah I know what it's like."

I've grown to like Jason. You could tell him anything and he would understand. He wouldn't give you stupid advice either.

"Nico, I think you should talk to Leo," Jason suggested.

I looked at him, puzzled. The idea of talking to him mortified me in ways you couldn't imagine.

Jason smiled at me. It wasn't one of those nervous and sympathetic smiles, it was heart warming one that was filled with confidence. A tiny bit of bravery held my chest in place, but I couldn't talk to him.

" Jason, I'm a child of Hades. We run from our problems," I said as I looked at him.

"If you run away from everything. You won't experience the wonderful moments of life," he said as he walked out the cabin door.

I sat there stunned, looking down. It made me wonder what would've happened if I left during the battle on Mount Olympus.

"Maybe I wouldn't be in so much pain," I mumbled.

I rested my head back on my pillow and sighed.

After sitting in my bunk for a while, letting my thoughts run through my head like the wind outside. Hazel came back and started asking all these questions. Honestly I felt too depressed to answer, I got up and left without a word. I could hear her yelling from my bunk but she'll get over it.

Walking through camp felt a little bit weird. I felt like a lonely ghost just wandering. No one really noticed, if I didn't feel so much like a ghost I would've said shadow. A lonely, wandering shadow. That happened sometimes when I was learning.

Leo sat on the ledge of his cabin tinkering with something. His eyes flickered when it popped open. Man he looked so cute.

He looked up staring right at me, and started getting up.

I tried to move but my legs went weak. What if I acted like I was admiring this plant? I started staring at it putting my hand under my chin and nooding.

"What are you doing?"

I turned around and saw Annabeth looking at me. She smiled trying to hold back a laugh.

Leo walked back inside of his cabin taking his device with him.

"Uhh.."

"I know tulips are beutiful in all but it's kind of weird that your eating flowers," Annabeth said, putting her hand on her hip as she grinned.

" I wasn't eating them just.."

These type of moments I feel sorry for Percy or maybe she's only this way with me. I just really don't understand girls. Maybe it's just people in generel. It explains why I'm always alone.

Annabeth kept on saying facts about tullips. Eventually I just turned around and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat down underneath a tree. The ground withered underneath me. I knew later the satyrs would scare me off. But right now I don't really care. I feel really alone more than usual it actually hurts.

Jason has been busy with a Piper. Hazel went some where.. Honestly I've been avoiding her. She's been trying to get me to tell her what's wrong. It hurt a lot to tell Jason and I couldn't bring myself to do it again. Especially not to someone who doesn't understand..

Percy ran by giving Annabeth a piggy back ride. She glared at me.

"Hey, Nico. Did we bother you-"

Annabeth rolled her eyes. She looked a little upset from earlier.

"Uh..no..just..uh..sitting.."I said nervously.

Percy let Annabeth off his back and sat down beside me. Annabeth tried to protest but sat down anyway.

"How's it going? "Percy asked casually as he stretched.

"Um.. it's going great."

"Why haven't you and Leo been hanging out?" Percy asked looking directly at me now. "It kind of looks like something happened."

I really do wonder what people do with their free time. Are they so bored that they have to stuff their noses around in other people's life. Maybe it's just..

"Let's just play a game called get in Nico's business! Whoever annoys him the most wins dracmas."

I really hate being the center of attention.

Percy looked a bit hurt. I'm not really sure how my face looked. After talking to Jason I stopped careing.

"Um..sorry didn't mean to pry anything," he apologized and started to get up.

"No it's fine. Just I've been awnsering these question all day," I said.

Percy nooded and walked away. Annabeth followed shortly behind.

I kept looking at the ground thinking about what I did wrong. I kept on hearing my own voice telling me.

"You're a child of Hades. You'll never be loved or excepted. "

I kept hearing that over and over. Eventually I believed it.
