THALIA'S POV

"Come on Thalia we know you like Nico" Annabeth said and Piper nodded

"I do not like Nico" I said lying

"I'm not Aphroditie but I can still see it" Annabeth said, we were in my cabin arguing, on my birthday, the worst part, none of us thought about closing the door

"Yeah and I can feel it when ever you two are around each other" Piper stated and now I was ticked

"I do not like Nico. He's not even that good looking" I said and Annabeth and Piper raised their eye brows in a have-you-seen-him kinda way then I added "I don't understand why I would, the only thing descent about him is clothing and the fact the he probably laughs as he watch is the souls burn in Tartaus and spends his free time with ghosts. It's creepy. He's creepy" I yelled and saw looks of shock and their faces and then this happened...

"Nice to know" said a cold voice behind me and we gasped when we saw it was Nico

"Nico- I'm so sor-" I started

"Spare me" the coldness of his voice made me tremble

"You know what's funny is that when we first met you made me so mad I wanted to throw you in to a busy highway. But I come to realize, if I did I'd kill myself to save you... Good to know the feeling is one sided" he said and it felt as if what ever emotions he once had were completely gone and whatever life he had was banished to Tartaus and his eyes no longer held the happy beaming light but, instead replaced by coldness, darkness, and hurt, it scared me and sent shivers up my spine. I was about to say something but as soon as my mouth opened he interrupted

"Happy Birthday" he said with a bitterness that made wince and then he through down a velvet box and waked out with a cold chuckle that scared me and I ran and closed the door and heard Piper and Annabeth gasp I looked over see them holding the box with a hand over their mouths. I look to see what it is and when I did I gasped myself. It was a necklace it had a sterling silver chain with a tiny charm hanging in the middle of it. It was maybe a half of an inch long and was a black gold pendant. Outlining it was more silver and on the pendent there were blue sapphire diamonds and I'm not saying like rhinestones I'm talking 100% real diamonds it was beautiful. I felt terrible.
