I took Nico to the third bathroom stall, we had to check each bathroom to see if they were closed, most of them were
Just one was occupied
"Hey... What if someone smells.."
Nico said looking at me, his dark hair ruffled
Damn
"Bro, it's ok"
I pulled out my pack of cherry gum
"Works Like a charm"
I shook the packet and the gum rattled inside
The worry lines dissapeared from his face
Cute.....
Fuck
A few minutes later i had a joint in my mouth, sitting on the toilet while Nico Tried rolling up the Ritz wrapper
"Hey, dude...uh, what happens when you're stoned?"
Aww hes so cute
"Nothing much...you just make really bad descicions....but it's fine, you wont remeber"
He put the joint in his mouth and leaned against the Wall
"Well....Here goes nothing"
He took a drag
And another
"Duudddeee"i paused watching him Look at the joint quzzically
"Calm down, i mean....it's your first time...we still need to get to class"
He frowned
Then took a long drag and blew it all in my face
Nico coughed and giggled histerically
then, it happened
Nico leaned onto me, his chin digging into my shoulder, still giggling,
He took a deep breath in my hair
"Mmmmm....Latino" he twirled a strand of my hair in his hand, still leaning on my chest
"I bet you Taste real spicy"
He giggled again
Then he pulled his head off my shoulder
and smashed his lips against mine
"Mmmmmf!"
What.
The.
Fuck.
Nico pulled away, the whites in his eyes showing
"I-im sorry i shouldn't ha-"
No this feels right
"well don't stop now" i said interrupting him while grinning
he smirked
And leaned in for another kiss
"Nico?!"
Some blonde guy was standing behind Nico,
the bathroom door,
wide open
Nico whipped around to Look at the blonde guy, his hair wild
"Will.." Nico snarled
Woah...how could someone so angry,
be hot at the same time
"You're not my father"
Nico said, deadly quiet
Like before your parents Chuck rage on you
Nico got up off his knees, and walked over to Will
"I can do what ever the fuck i want to" Nico pushed him in the chest,
the blonde guy stumbled back
"B-b-but" his mouth gaped open like a
Koi fish
Nico growled at him
Literally, like a wolf
It was terrifying
"Leave me alone"
He said stopping at each word for effect
Waves of darkness rolled off of him
Could he be?
I mean, we had a new girl in the hades floor
....and she could do the exact same thing
Nico slammed the door shut and locked it quickly
He leaned back onto the bathroom door and took a shaky breath
I ran over to hug him
a bit Forward eh?
We kissed...
Right
Nico hugged me back
"God, im such a fucking baby"
he said, his voice muffled as hot salty tears dripped down my shirt
"Shhhhhh...it's ok"
i said stroking his knotted black hair i noticed a tattoo on his neck,
it was a banner with blood dripping from it, the Words di Angelo were written on the banner with red tattoo ink there were angel wings on the word Angelo
"Nice tat"
I said striking his neck
Nico flinched and looked up at me
"thats what Will said....when he saw my tattoo" tears brimmed in his eyes
Ive never seen Nico this vulnerable
"Will?" i paused, oh, the blonde guy
Nicos ex
Nico stood up abruptly
"I-i gotta go" he adjusted his aviator jacket and stormed out the bathroom
Oh Great, leo
Why do you always have to ruin the things you love,
*flashback*
(my first time doing this stuff...don't judge)
Mom was leaning over her workspace tinkering with a car engine, grease was smeared all over het hands and face, her hazel hair in a tight ponytail
She had rough calloused hands, but a serene and safe vibe about het Like a mother
"Mom?" there i was, young and innocent a curly afro of the same hazel colour of my mothers hair
"Yes my little mojito?"
"why do my hands fire up when im scared?"
Mom paused, and looked up, an eyebrow raised
"We've been through this Leonardo" she placed her hands on her hips,
Her strong mexican accent showing in the way she said Words
"You were born that way, fire is a gift, and you are too mojito" she said leaning over and ruffling my hair
I frowned
"Im just another accident, waiting to happen" i grumbled, my eyebrows scrunched together
Mom clicked her toungue and frowned
"Don't say that mojito, you Will find your place some day, remeber what i always say?"
Oh yes..the old saying
"Fake it till you make it.." i said looking like i would rather gouge my eye out with a rusty spoon than be there
Sometimes pretending is hard
Sometimes you cant pretend because you've got nothing left
its like running a car on an empty fuel tank
Soon enough, People are going to watch you slowly reveal your true colours
Watch you break down and suffer
"Hey, mijo?" do you mind fetching me something?" mom said looking up from her Work
"Sure, mom" i paused "what is it?"
She smiled, a ghost of a sad smile
"A..uh screwdriver?" she said that like it was more of a question
I did it anyway
I opened the garage Doors to get a screwdriver from outside
I wonder why she left it there...
I stumbled outside, tripping over my shoelaces every ten seconds
Rainbow shoes
Ironic, huh?
"BANG"
the earth, shuddered
I fell down, hitting my head on a shard of granite embedded in the ground
"MOM!"
i screamed, tears flowing down my face
I ran to the Doors and banged on them, screaming as i did so
The garage was on fire,the Windows broken, but no sound was coming from inside
The night was cold and the only sounds were my screaming and the crackle and pop of fire burning down the only person i could ever trust and love
Gone
Just like that
In almost an instant
I couldve saved her
If only i was strong enough,
fast enough
If only i was good enough
She could still be here, safe and sound
Nothing i do is
Ever
Good enough
