"Nico, get down from there," Hazel demanded, but he wasn't going to listen. When Hazel had fallen it had Nico thinking, why couldn't he? He had climed upon the railing and was staring at the choppy waves below. For once he wasn't thinking about anything, he was... happy. Without a thought he jumped hurtiling towards the waves. He heard an earpiercing scream that snapped him back into reality, "Percy!" It was Hazel, sweet Hazel with locks of light brown hair and eyes that of tigers. She was the only family he had left and suddenly he relized why he hadn't done this sooner, he had to protect her. He was about to become a grease stain on the sea when a wave engulfed him and raised him back onto the ship, Percy.
"Nico!" even though he was soaking Hazel scooped him up in her arms and held on tightly her warm tears dripping onto Nico's back. "I'm sorry Hazel, I'm so sorry" he was crying. "Why did you jump, Nico, why!" while Hazel was still squeezing his shoulders he answered, " I don't know I just did," he glanced up at Jason. All seven of them were pearing down at him making him feel like a washed up rat. "Your lucky Percy got here in time or else you wouldn't have made it," Hazel remarked
"Ya well I wasn't asking to be saved," Nico spat. He stood up wriggling out of Hazel's hands and walked away with the whole entire crew staring at him.
Nico was drinking hot choclate when Jason came into his room. "You ok?" Jason asked. He shot him a nasty look. "Hey, man if you want to talk about it you know im here," he said in a reassuring tone. "Wish you weren't," Nico retorted. He left without another word leaving the son of hades soaking wet and even more miserable than he normally was. Next, Hazel came into his room. He expected her to ask millions of questions and scold him for scaring her, but all she did is sit on the bed with him and wrap her arms around him. "Why do you do this to me brother?" Hazel usually never calls him brother and this was quite a shock to him. "Because I'm scared," he felt like he could always be himself around Hazel.
After Hazel left Percy walked in. "Hey, you all right," "Look I don't want to talk about it and I don't want to talk to you," Nico was going to straighten things out with him, but not now. He was an emotional mess and couldn't even stand to look at him. "Percy, please leave," Nico's voice cracked.
"No, I'm not leaving until you tell me why you hate me!" Percy half shouted. "I don't hate you, that's the problem," Nico said in a small voice and on that note Nico Di Angelo left his room leaving a confused Percy behind him. Not only did Nico leave his room, but he left the Argo II all together.
