True Colors

chapter 13

Nico tried so hard to blink back tears.

"And if it wasn't for you, I actually don't know, I would'nt have gotten through anything. And because of you, I'm...-" Tears started coming down her cheeks. "-still here"

Nico pulls Keira into a hug and she wraps her arms tightly around his neck.

The crowd didn't know what to do. Finally, Will regained consciousness and starts clapping and everyone followed his lead.

And soon, EVERY last person in that stand, stood up and clapped, while cheering.

Finally Nico let go and his face was red, and wet... Of tears, but his hair covered his eyes.

"Nico, are you actually crying?!?" Keira asked.

Nico didn't look at her. "Let's just stick to the allergies thing." Nico slimmed from underneath his hair.

So Keira returned back to the microphone. Everyone went silent.

"There's one last person, I would like to thank before we have dinner." Keira says, as she looks directly at Harley. He looks back at her and slightly smiles. "Harley, from Hepheastus cabin, would you please come up on stage."

Harley was so shocked, that he couldn't move. So, Leo had to drag him to the stage and go back to his seat.

"I really want to thank you for being the first bestest friend I ever had. I appreciate you a lot. Thank you, Harley." Keira says as she put down the microphone' got down from the podium, and walked over to Harley.

"You're welcome, and I'm sorry about earlier," Harley said as his eyes sparkled.

The crooks waited for Keirato respond, and she did.

"It's ok, I forgive you, if only you forgive me." Keira said.

Harley shrugged. "I don't know, it depends."

Keira looked shocked. "On what?"

"If you let me make it up to you." Harley said.

Keira raised her eyebrows. "Sure, but how?"

"By this," Harley said as he leans in and kissed Keira on the cheek.

The crowd finally outbursted.

Keira blushed so hard. Harley did too. "And I think you might want this back."

He pulls out the black bow that she left in the sand.

Keira gasps, and her hand covered her mouth. Harley reached in for a hug and she hugged him.

When she let go, she turned and nodded to Chiron.

In the microphone, he said. "Is time for the feast."

And magically appeared a long table and row of chairs, decorated neatly, golden plates set among the ivory table cloth.

Everyone took seats, wherever they wanted.and guess who Sat together and laughed the whole time.
