The Sun and Moon

Wanna Play Catch

Wills PoV

Nico looked so adorable when he was lost in thought I wonder what he's thinking about? Could it be me?! Na he's probably straight and got a cute girlfriend. He does go on a bit about a Bianca to Percy maybe that's her name.

I didn't really know much about his life but I wanted to trouble is don't think I could get him to put his walls down even if he did I doubt he would open up to me probably to Percy or Jason they have been his friends longer.

As I pondered the possibility of becoming friends with Nico I didn't notice that he had snapped out of his trance and was now tugging at my sleeve like little kid asking me something about McDonald's? It probably wasn't that because I doubt a kid like Nico would like Happy Meals and fries or whatever it McDonalds served.

Turns out I was very wrong he was indeed taking about McDonalds and I had agreed to take him there in my thoughtful state. Nico went mad as soon as we pulled into the full parking lot. It seemed weird that he could change so suddenly ,all his moodiness and
sadness disappeared. He looked like a real fifteen year not a kid who was holding the weight of the world on his shoulders.

We ordered are Happy Meals much to the cashiers amusement and took a seat at the crowded food court Nico was happily tucking into his burger as I observed out surroundings.

I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong but it seemed like a normal food court a bunch of teenage girls gossiping in the corner a mother and her son sitting and a madly in love couple who I couldn't help but envy. Why couldn't I be like with someone , why couldn't I be like that with Nico? All of a sudden I heard a huge crash from the teenage girl corner. Wait those weren't teenage girls those were empousa! I got my sword, which I barely knew how to use out and stood in front of Nico protectively he was in no condition to fight he was weak and still had two whole days in the infirmary all of a sudden I felt something hit my head, hard. I saw black spots swimming in front of my eyes and I vaguely heard someone say "I'm gay buddy." Before my stomach turned inside out and everything went black  ____________________________________

Nico's PoV

Ok it was a dumb decision but in my defence I panicked ok?! We were surrounded and I was in no condition to fight and as I found out later in no condition to shadowtravel either everything hurt even my eyelashes hurt! I wanted to puke ,my stomach was on fire but instead I just fell on the floor, hard and passed out cold.

Then the nightmares came. Actually my whole life was a nightmare, I was back at camp under the judging stares of everyone and this time I had absolutely no one to lean on not that anyone usually wanted me to lean on them. This time I'd have to have my walls up higher I couldn't afford another Percy fiasco this time I wasn't going make any friends I'd just wait for the rest of the group to come back and then I'd have someone to talk to.

"If they come back" the little voice in my head whispered and then the nightmare scene changed.

Percy was standing in front of me but his clothes were soaked in blood and arrow was sticking out of his chest ,his eyes were unfocused and he was slowly limping his way towards me. Behind him was Annabeth in a similar state speaking in a raspy voice. "This us all your fault Nico saving you took too much time, you doomed the world". Jason appeared behind her blood dripping from his mouth "You were right Nico everything you touch does turn to dust, you should stay away from everyone before you make anyone like you" he sneered.  "You're such a freak , aren't you Nico?" sneered Piper who had just appeared behind Jason. The seven crowded around whispering horrid things while I covered my ear and tried to convince myself it was just a nightmare and they would never do this. The voice in my head seemed to disagree and then Percy suddenly removed the arrow form his chest and stabbed me. I don't know what hurt more the betrayal or the wound.

I woke up screaming ,covered in cold sweat, trembling in fear. I covered myself with a blanket and curled into a small ball trying to calm my terrified nerves.

Judging by the light from the window it was 3:00 am in the morning I slipped on my shoes ignoring the pain in my head and tiptoed softly towards the door. Suddenly I realised that there was someone sitting on the chair near the door, I think it was that kid who took me too McDonalds ,Will. He was fast asleep but he didn't look very peaceful he had dark bags around his eyes and his hair was messy and uncombed he looked kinda uncomfortable on that chair but I couldn't do anything. I just slipped out of the door and into the moonlight garden outside the infirmary. I decided to walk to my cabin and then sleep there cause it was not like I was wanted in the infirmary plus I was not that weak.

My knees shook with the weight of my body, ok fine maybe I was weak but I could take care of myself I didn't need anyone. "More like no one needs you" sneered the little voice. I didn't have time for this I just wanted to head to my comfy cabin and sleep for a few days.

I reached after what seemed hours my knees were shaking ,my head was pounding  and I was pretty sure I was running a fever. But I just climbed into bed and fell asleep instantly. Nightmares plagued me the whole night some were on Tartarus and some were of the jar thankfully none were like the horrible one I had had earlier. I even dreamt of Bianca! ,and how I had horribly failed her. I woke up much too early but I didn't have an option someone was shaking me awake so I had to wake up and see why in Hades name I of all people was needed.

Hoped you guys liked it......also should I make another chapter or just give it up?
