Interesting Encounter

Chapter seven

Nico

I walked through the halls on my way home from school no bullys today, at least thats something. But as I walked over to the door I saw something that would scar my eyes forever. it was him laying ontop of that Annabeth girl, the two of them hed there forheads together and Annabeth had her hands on his chest. silly boy, you always knew they where together. But no matter how many times I tried to convince myself that I wasn't upset, it killed me to see him like this.

I ran past my feet hitting the ground with loud thumps. the wind gushed past my face as I felt fresh tears running down my cheeks, you never had a chance anyway. I hated my concious for saying things like that, but I knew it was true. why would the great Percy Jackson like a little person like you? I screamed out in anger but no one was around to hear me.

My knees buckled and I fell under my usual dead tree. he's obviously staight, how could he ever like you? Tears ran down my cheeks splashing on to my shirt and soaking me. Your just a little no body. No one with ever like you. The tears stung as they clogged my throat. Your a dork, a idiot, and a boy. how could you have imagianed Percy Jackson liking me, of all people.

Bianca would tell me not to beat myself up about. but if I don't beat myself up, someone else will do it for me... I felt like dieing, like this life wasn't worth living. no body cares about me, no one would know if I left. But I was wrong.

I felt to soft hands on my back, running circiles around my shoulders.  "Nico, what happened?" said a soft and calming voice.  "nothing." my whole life fell apart.

"Nico, I'm your sister. And even if I wasn't, I would still know you where upset. So please talk to me Nico! It wont help if you keep your emotions blocked up."

I looked up at her, my eyes probably puffy from crying. She was crouching next to me a worried yet sympathetic smile on her face. she wiped some of the tears off my cheeks. "Nico, what happend? did they....did they hurt you?" she looked worried. no, worried doesn't cut it, she looks scared.

I shook my head slowly. "Nico, please tell me." Bianca said. I didn't really trust my voice, but she deserved to know. "I.....I....." was all I managed before more tears began to pour from my eyes.

Bianca wrapped her soft arms around me and pulled me close. I wrapped my arms around her neck and cried into her shoulder, but she didn't seem to care that her shirt got wet. "Nico, you don't have to tell me, but I think we'll both feel better if you do." she said as she ran her fingers through my hair.

I trust you with my life, Bianca. You are my only safe space in the world. you are my haven from the hollowness of life. Without you, I would have already committed suicide. Bianca you are the one thing in my life thats always there, always consistent. You are like my guardian angel. You are the only thing I can count on. and I depend on you, Bianca.

I cried heavily into her shoulder. Bianca just began to sway side to side with her arms rapped around me, after a few minutes she started humming a lullaby that our mom used to sing to us, it was an old itallian lullaby that our grandma's grandma sang to her kids.

"Percy....he...." I maneged to get out. Bianca stopped and looked at me, cupping my face in her hands, her expression serious. "Nico..." she began "did he hurt you?" I don't even think he knows I exsist! "not knowingly." I growled. 

Bianca wipped a few tears off my cheeks and said "please tell me what happend" I nodded slowly and settled into a sitting position staring at my sisters concerned face, her shirt was covered with my tears. she really does care, doesn't she?

"I....I was....walking." I gasped out the few words and it hurt. Bianca slowly nodded and I continued  "I saw him...." Bianca looked confused and asked "Percy?" for clarification. I shut my eyes tight to stop the tears from coming and nodded. "he was....K...Annabeth" I trayled into tears on the 'th'and fell onto Bianca who hugged me. 

"Percy and Annabeth where kissing...?" Bianca said. I nodded and cried and some more. "where they activley  kissing? Or just looked liked?" I thought for a moment and realied they where not in the act of kissing, they simple had there forheads togethere.

"there forheads where touching.....they where.....the ground.....and....percy....on top...." I managed before crying again. Bianca nodded and said "So, Percy was laying on top of Annabeth and they had there foreheads together? but not there lips?" all I managed was a nod.

"I'm sorry Nico. but maybe....maybe we should head home? its getting pretty late...and, well, you know how mom can be..." I shivered just thinking about it and attempted to stand. Bianca helped me up and whipped the remaining tears away. She put her arm around my shoulder and walked home with me.

We got home expecting to have mom waiting to yell at us, but no one was in the kitchen or living room. we slowly walked upstairs three rooms, two bedrooms and a bathroom. the bathroom door was opened and empty, one of the bedrooms (our bedroom) was opened, the other one (moms bedroom) was shut and locked.

she's probably thinking about dad again, about the family we almost had.....about Hazel. I grimaced. I missed Hazel, a lot. but I doubt she knows who I am or that I exists just like everyone else.

Me and Bianca quickly and quietly made our way into our room and shut the door locking it with many locks. "you think moms gonna go crazy?" Bianca said as she sat on the bed next to me.

"you mean...like when she comes out of her room all disgruntled, drunk, and crying about dad then she beats the crap out us? yes, I think she will." I said with a groan. But even hearing myself say those words made me shutter.

The tears built up in my eyes as images of me and Bianca's bruses and starved figures filled my mind. not my best memories. Bianca leaned over and hugged me. "shhhh. it'll be all rght. we'll be all right. Bianca said and I fell into her crying. today is not a person who is emotionally unstable's best day.

After a while Bianca said. "you wanna keep reading Harry Potter? I finally got the last book!" I grinned and nodded snuggling up against her as she began to read. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" Bianca said in an anouncer voice. then she looked at me with a smile and said "lets see if its any good" then opened up the book. 

Soon I got carried away in the story, but when she had to go to the bathroom and she put the book down I couldn't help but think is this really what the Di Angelo's have come to? One drunk mom in one room with the door locked, two scared kids in the other hiding from there mom with the door locked, one dad who took the other daughter and left, he could be anywhere in the world. 

 I remember how our family used to be, we where happy. but when the fights started getting bad the divorce papers came out. Dad left with Hazel and Mom stayed here with me and Bianca. I always felt betrayed by my father, he used to be my hero but now he's gone......and he left me here to be abused.

A/N: so this chapter was just basically to show how much Nico depends on Bianca. Like, he would be dead if she wasn't there. She is his only safe place.
