Nico keeps a diary to help him sort through and record his thoughts and feelings after the accident that took his family away from him a few years prier. He's now in high school and one day while having lunch with his friends someone catches his eye and suddenly his notebook becomes full of entries about this boy.

(Nico)

Chapter 1

Ever since Nico had lost his family and parts of his memories his doctors and therapists had agreed that it would help him to keep a diary or journal to record different moments in his day or to write out his feelings he's not really ready or able to share with anyone else so that he doesn't have to keep them locked inside.

Nico has filled many books with his thoughts and feelings, it's now a daily routine that he does almost automatically. If he doesn't want people seeing him writing in his journal he pulls out his phone to write in his notes. He has to admit that the process does help him filter things better and he doesn't have to worry about having to tell someone else about it all.

…

Nico sat with his friends outside in the school yard during lunch and was trying his best to take part in the conversation but really he had no interest in it so he mostly just nodded along or added a yeah, or uh huh here or there.

He was one of the younger members of the group and really didn't see the others much during the day since they didn't have any classes together so when they talked about an assignment or a specific teacher he didn't really have much to contribute so he would just sit there watching the passing students as they walked around during lunch break.

He normally didn't pay much attention to anyone in particular, he would just look around to see what other groups were doing, sitting in the grass eating or working on assignments while he drifted in and out of whatever his friends were saying.

This time however someone caught his eye and he lost all focus for his friends as he looked across the lawn at a blond boy he didn't recognize but seemed to be about his age.

"-co, Hey Nico! Are you listening?" Percy waved his hand in front of Nico's face and he snapped out of whatever trance his was in and turned back to his friends.

"What?" he asked wondering why they were all looking at him.

"We were taking about going to see that new movie this weekend and I asked if you were going to come along." Percy said then he looked past Nico to try and figure out what it was he had been looking at "What were you looking at anyway? You were completely spaced out there."

Nico fights down his embarrassment as he responds.

"Nothing. And sure, When do you want to go?" he's now back to focusing on his friends and what they were saying.

"We were thinking Saturday around 7." Annabeth said and Nico nodded.

"Okay." he agreed. He had been looking forward to this movie so he was happy to go see it with them.

They sat there and talked about how much they were all looking forward to the show and maybe stopping to get pizza or something on the way since theatre snacks were so expensive anyway.

Nico went back to supplying only minimal comments again, not because he wasn't as excited about the movie as the rest of them, but because he had caught sight of that blond boy again as he stood up and headed back inside. Nico thought he might have seen him look his way.

…

When Nico got home from school that day he went right to his room as sat at his desk to start on his homework so that it was out of the way. But before that he reached into his drawer and pulled out the notebook he kept in there. He flipped it open to a fresh page and pulled out his pen and began writing.

Dear diary, today I saw a boy and I wondered if he noticed me.

He took my breath away.

He had golden blond hair that seemed to shine in the sun and I couldn't help but stare. The others saw me staring but didn't know why, they don't need to, and they'd just make a big deal out it because they'd want to help and I know that they mean well but I don't want to get their hopes up.

They talked about going to see that new movie that I've been dying to see so I'm really looking forward to that, we're going this weekend on Saturday and maybe we'll stop for pizza they said.

So far school is going fine and I'm doing well in my classes but I don't really have anyone to talk to about it because the others are all in different grades classes and I feel kind of alone, but I don't really want to say anything about it to them because then they'd just worry about me again and I don't want to drag them down.

I wasn't really sure how I'd feel about high school but with the others in the higher grades at least I won't get lost and Annabeth offered to help with homework if I need it, but things aren't that difficult since we're only a week in so I'm good for now.

Now that Percy and I are going to the same school we have the same schedule and he can drive me to school which is really convenient for the both of us, I've finally started feeling comfortable with thinking of this as my home, it's been a few years since Percy's mom and step dad took me in and I'm really grateful but I don't want to have to always depend on them like this.

The doctors say that I'm making progress and that the effects of the accident are starting to reverse and that I may get back the memories that I've lost, though it may still take time. I go to see them again after school on Monday.

Nico put his pen down after he was done writing his entry for the day. Every day he adds more, even if it's not much he is supposed to record something new each day. He flipped back a few pages to the last time he had remembered something from back then.

… We ran around laughing as I chased her, I knew that I couldn't catch her but that didn't stop me from trying.

It had been a happy memory at least; sometimes they would come back to him while he's asleep and those aren't so happy, he keeps a dream journal too beside his bed for those nights that he wakes up screaming or crying and he writes down what he can still remember before it slips away.

Sally, Percy's mom and Nico's aunt, comes and sits with him when that happens and stays with him until he's able to close his eyes again. He loves her for it but he can't help feeling bad for needing her to stay with him instead of letting her sleep as well. She's told him time and again that she's happy to sit with him and help him feel safe, but he can't help but feel guilty about it.

Nico sighs and tries to clear his mind so that he can get back to his homework before dinner.

Please let me know what you think.
