Nobody went to look for Nico. Everybody wanted to stay on Annabeth's good side. Plus they all assumed that he had went to his mysterious boyfriend's house that, so far, only Percy has gotten to see.

"Sweetie, please, Nico is so young and...well we think somebody should go find him," Piper tried.

Annabeth merely shrugged her off and continued to watch her sad movie. She was wrapped up in a blanket in her living room. A few tears had managed to escape. Hazel sat with her. Poor Annabeth.

Her eighteenth birthday was supposed to be a good day. She would meet her future lover and her life would begin to fall into place. However, everything was falling apart. The only thing Hazel could do was pretend that Nico didn't exist. Piper left on her search for Nico.

Pipers POV

Nico has basically disappeared. Piper didn't know where the boyfriend lived and she was not going to endanger Nico's chance at love by asking the wrong person. Piper was often thought to not have genious ideas like this, but she did. She quickly stopped at the library and looked up Percy Jackson.

A few people came up but it was finally at the third one did bits of Annabeth's story fall into place. She quickly wrote down his email.

Piper: Hey I know you don't know me but I'm a friend of Annabeth's. I need to find Nico and Annabeth is being real moody about how he treated you. So could you tell me who his boyfriend is?

A half hour went by before a bit of a response came back.

Percy: Who is this?

Piper: Piper McClean. I kinda need you to hurry!

Percy: like the actor?

Piper:...yeah? Can we hurry this up!

Percy: oh yeah. He is um, a guy. Blond hair. Wore scrubs so he's like a doctor? Name was something like Will?

Piper immediately knew this guy. She was so surprised that a relationship like that existed that she almost drooled onto the computer.

Piper: Thank you so much! I'll give Annabeth your email my dude!

She left before Percy could respond. She hurried over to Dr. Solace's home. She quickly knocked. Dr. Solace was twenty eight and Nico was only, like, fifteen. This was totally wrong, but Piper was no snitch.

"Oh, Piper. How can I help you?" Dr. Solace asked.

"Nico." Piper requested bluntly.

"E-excuse me?" Will almost choked in his tea that he was drinking.

"Is Nico here?" Piper started to tap her foot in frustration.

"Why would he be here?" Will began to back away ever so slowly.

"Look, man, I know you're dating my bro. So could you do me a favor and tell me where he is?" Piper looked up expectantly.

"Um can you come in?" Will held the door open and Piper walked in.

They sat in the living room. Piper sat on the sofa while Dr. Solace took the chair. They had a few moments of awkward silence. Dr. Solace leaned forward and began to talk.

"How could- how did you find out?"

"Nobody who can do anything about it knows but me. And I'm not even gonna say anything. I just want to find Nico."

Dr. Solace grunted and took his phone out of his pocket. "If I call him he'll pick up."

"Wait, you mean he isn't here? Where the fuck is he?" Piper stood up and towered over the seated doctor.

"Calm down," Dr. Solace cooed. "He'll pick up." He was right. After an intense conversation and a bit of lying, Nico was tracked down to the cemetery.

"You can call me Will, by the way," Dr. Solace said.

"Okay," Piper replied. She really didn't want to be friends with her doctor. Nico must've really liked this dude and Piper wasn't going to drive him away. But she didn't want to get close to this weirdo.

"So, what's up with Nico?" He asked.

Piper shrugged. They walked the rest of the way in silence. The cemetery was quite beautiful and Piper had a hard time understanding how her little emo friend could possibly be sad in such a place. They approached Nico and when he saw Piper he didn't scramble away. He actually looked quite relieved.

"Nice place," Piper noted.

Nico nodded. Will went over and sat next to him. He wrapped his arm around the boy. Nico snuggled his head into Will's neck and whispered something. Will whispered back. If it were anybody else Piper would want to know what they were saying, but this was Will and Nico. She knew she would sleep better at night not knowing.

"You have his email?" Nico asked.

"Yes," Piper said.

"Good. Give it to Annabeth."
