The Daughter of Dionysus

Fears

Nadia's P.O.V.

       Bash messed up my hair, "You've got talent Smurf,"
I swatted away his hand, "Thanks Bash,"
"You know," he said, "I saw your dad once,"
"You did?"
"Yeah, we were at the park with your mom. You were I think five. He was standing a little ways away and staring at you. When you looked at him, he paniked and disappeared,"
"Vanished? Just like that?"
"Not really. He walked away without a word to your mom,"
"How did you know it was my dad?"
"He had your eyes," he said smirking.
"He's such a jerk,"
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll kick his butt if you ever meet him,"
"Probably," I smiled.
"C'mon, let's keep practicing," he threw a punch at me. I dodged and aimed a hit to his jaw.

        I woke up sweating and gasping. Jeremie stared at me confused, "Are you ok?"

"Not really," I confessed.

She walked over and sat at my side, "Dreams about Sebastian?"

"Yeah," I answered, "it still haunts me,"

"You'll get over it," she asured me, "You got over your fear of cars, so I wouldn't be too worried," I recalled those few weeks that I wouldn't go near a car. I did eventually get over it, but it was dreadful the first few times. "So," Jeremie nudged me, "Adam seems to like you,"

"He's not really my type," I shrugged.

"Isn't he? Or are you scared of loving?"

"I guess I am scared. This probably won't make sense, but I've always been afraid of falling in love,"

"But you like Nico,"

"Nico is different," I explained, "I have no control over that. It's not like I can tell myslef that I don't like him and it'll blow away. I just- there's something about him,"

"You're not afraid of him?"

"I have multiple fears, but Nico di Angelo is not one of them," I smiled. Jeremie smiled sadly and nodded.
