Thalicos begining

May 6th, Saturday

Nicos POV

Its already been a day.  I got up and walked into Percys room.

"Its been a day Perc. We gotta go look. I me-" Percy got up and pushed past me. Confused, I followed him into the livingroom. He opend the front door and sighed with relief. Opening the door and letting the man in, my phone rang

I pulled it out of my pocket and walked out of the room.
"Hello?"
"Nico.. Where are you? Did you abandon me? " Reyna said, sounding sad.
"Rey, you know that isn't true. I just.."
"Its Thalia, isn't it? Shes.."
"Reyna I love you. You know this."
"Prove it."
"I'll be home in an hour."
I hung up before she could speak. I walked into the living room to see Percy and Ryan. Without thinking, I slammed Ryan into the wall.
"WHERE IS SHE." I screamed. I felt hands grab me from behind and pull me off. Fighting against the force, I gave up. Ryan slumped against the wall.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He said , shooting me a smirk. I pushed past him and walked out. Almost running to the truck, I couldn't give up this time. I had to find her.

Thalias POV
I woke up in pain. I slowly stood up. Where am i? Buildings surrounded me. I limped to the wall and walked to the edge of the buildings. I reached in my pocket for my phone. Feeling nothing, panic shot through my body. I looked for street signs. Redwood? Thats only a block from home. I began limping to the house. 

i stopped before the house to sit on a bench. My back and legs ached. I let the tears slip through my eyes.  

Nicos POV

I got in the truck and started it up. Thalia can't be far. But Reyna.. No. I already picked her over Thal once. Not again. I began to drive around the block. Checking her favorite places. Down by the creek, over in her tree in the forest, and finally, the park. She was no where to be found. Anger shot through my veins. I wanted to kill him. I rested my head on the wheel and sighed. 

Suddenly, my phone began to vibrate. I pulled it out of my pocket and awnsered the phone,

"Hey Annabeth whats up?" 
"We got her."
"Im on m-"
"She doesn't want you to see her like this Nico.. Ryan uh.. did something."
"He.. No. Tell me its not what im thinking." 
"It is. Nico just come over. She won't talk to anyone. This has , happend before I assume?
"Yeah.. Luke. Im glad he is dead. Im on my way."

~time skip to nico arriving~ 

I bursted through the door and walked into Thals room. Shocked, I looked over at Reyna, Annabeth and Percy.

"Hey babe. I figured id try too help. I feel bad." Reyna said.

"No.. I was the only one she talked to last time. I just.. Need to speak to her. Alone." I said quietly. Everyone walked out behind me. I walked over to Thalia, who was curled up in a ball.

"Thal.. It's me.. Nico? I just.. I know. Thi-"

"You were right.." she whispered.

"Huh?"
"You told me not to trust him. You told me something was off. And I didnt listen.. I never listen." she said, unfolding herself and looking at me. I wiped the tear from her eyes and sighed.

"There is no way in hell it was your fault. You didn't know. It's okay.." I said , wrapping my arms around her, pulling her into my lap. She flinched at first, but layed her head down on my shoulder and began crying. 

Annabeths POV

"Im just saying, they have been down there a while. He is my fiance. I don't like him coddling and cuddling all up on her. It is-" 

"Listen Reyna. Sit down. Its time I tell you the real reason youre with Nico."

"I already know.. It was the potio- I me-"

"Potion? Wait.. you didn't.." Percy snarled.

"Fine. You caught me. Aphodite (sorry if spelled wrong) sent me down here to test his love for Thalia by hitting on him. But I kinda fell in love with him. Im sorry.. But theres only one way to break it, And if you tell him I used a potion, she will shoot you dead. So, I mean theres not a lot you can do. Besides one thing he has to do on his own, which is realize its all a lie."

Sighing in defeat, I laid my head against Percys stomache. 

Nicos POV 

I sighed and held the sleeping girl. Did I love Reyna? I mean, god.  Im supposed to marry her. But sitting here with Thalia again.. Just like the good days. I miss it. I miss her. 

Hey guys sorry for the shitty, small chapter. Everything is going by really slow. I will try my best to finish the story on May 30th , but it could end on a sooner date. Sorry again. I feel like im failing you guys. I just need things to move fast..
