Hey sorry I haven't updated in a while but I have been wrapped in my other stories read them if you want. Anyway please review.

Chapter 8

Word of Peter's death spread throughout the school in a matter of funeral was on Saturday and most of the students and the staff were going to attend.

Nico was devastated, he was isolated completely except for Jason who was the same as him except maybe worse.

Nico's POV

Nico was lying in his bed thinking he should probably go to the hospital on the fact that he may have been dehydrated because he had stopped crying.

"N-Nico?" A voice came up.

Nico looked up and saw Jason standing there his eye's were completely bloodshot, his hair was a rats nest, and he looked incredibly pale.

"Yeah?" Nico said his voice was hoarse and ragged.

Jason sniffled "Um everyone wanted to know if your going to the funeral tomorrow."

"No!" Nico said, he couldn't be there he wouldn't be able to take it.

"Nico please we all need you. I need you I can't do this alone." Jason said.

Nico understood that everyone always saw Jason as a leader and a good person, but here he was broken.

Unfortunately Nico just couldn't do it, he wanted to, to say goodbye to his best friend, but it would be way too painful.

"I'm sorry Jason I really am but I can't." Nico said.

Jason nodded and sighed heavily as he walked out of the room.

Nico sighed and slammed his head into his pillow.

"Great now Jason hates me." Nico said to himself.

"Your an idiot Nick, Sparky is just blowing a fuse on himself he doesn't hate you." Peter would have said.

Nico smiled a little at the thought and then became sad at the fact that he would never hear his best friend's voice again.

Nico got out of his bed and walked out into the living room where Jason was sobbing into his hands looking at picture.

As Nico got closer he saw it was a picture of Jason and Peter; Peter's hand was on Jason's shoulder and his nose was bashed and bloody. Jason had a cut on his eye and his lip was bleeding. Both of them were smiling like idiots even though they looked like they just went three rounds with Chuck Norris.

"Jason?" Nico said and Jason looked up at him.

"Hey. What's up Nico?" Jason tried to say casually but his voice cracked and was hoarse.

"I know you want me to go to the funeral but I..I...I don't think that I can take it. I'm so sorry." Nico said sadly.

Jason looked at Nico and smiled a little.

"It's okay Nico..." Jason started but Nico cut him off.

"No it's not Jason. Here I am saying I can't make it to the funeral of my friend when your going and he's your cousin. YOUR COUSIN!" Nico said.

Jason's lip quivered at the thought as he nodded.

"I...I should be the one that should be going and you should be the one not going and is a quivering ball of tears." Nico said.

Jason actually chuckled from that and showed a pained smile.

Nico decided to not talk about the funeral and moved onto the picture Jason was holding.

"What's that?" Nico asked.

Jason looked at the picture and smiled.

"Me and Peter got into this huge fight one day. He socked me one under the eye and I bashed in his nose. He split my lip right after that, he thought I looked like a guy who resisted arrest and I laughed." Jason said smiling a little.

Nico smiled at this and he saw the picture again, Peter always calmed everyone down even though he was a nutcase seeing that picture at how close he and Jason were brought up confidence that he didn't know he had.

"I think...I think I will go to that funeral." Nico said which made Jason look at him wide eyed and completely shocked.

"R-R-Really you mean it Nico?" Jason asked.

Nico nodded.

Jason stood up and hugged Nico.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Nico." Jason repeated.

Nico smiled at Jason even though he knew the funeral was probably going to kill him.

Saturday: The day of the funeral.

"And so we shall send young Peter to heaven knowing he was loved among everyone." The reverend ended.

The ceremony was in the middle of a cemetery and most of the school filling up most of the field that they had to use speakers and a projection screen for everyone to see.

Leo, Jason, Thalia, Hazel, Reyna, Frank, Percy, Piper, Annabeth, Nico, Jupiter Grace and his wife were all in the front along with Peter's mother Mellie.

Nico had been crying next to Reyna throughout the whole ceremony constantly looking at the picture of Peter.

It was him in his baseball gear holding his favorite bat that had cut mark notches on it. He always marked his bat when he got a home-run.

Principle Brunner walked up to the podium as did the baseball coach Gleeson Hedge holding Peter's bat.

"Peter Sane, was a good person. Loving, caring, and always put his friends before himself." Brunner started.

Jason and Reyna wrapped there arms around Nico as he cried.

"I remember when his father Aeolus and I went to this school and he told me that his son would make him proud when he finally settled down and had a family. Unfortunately he was taken too early as well, but I always saw Peter as a son and he was like family to me. He was loved by all and he would always be there for his friends and he would always be there for others even if he didn't know them." Brunner continued.

Nico was close to tears but Reyna had already broke down and was sobbing into her hands. Thalia put an arm around her.

It was strange Thalia was the most calm out of everyone sure she was sniffling and her eyes were red but she was calm and silent.

"Lastly he was a good student and I know I could never live up like his father but I had never been more proud of anyone then of Peter. My son." Brunner ended.

Everyone clapped as Brunner walked off rubbing his eyes as they watered.

Coach Hedge walked up he was a very short man but could be a drill sergeant.

"Peter. He was a good guy one of the best players to ever be at Olympus High." The coach said he always kept his speeches short even this was long.

"King of Olympus." coach said with a chuckle.

"You got that right he was a king and he was a damn good one, one I would be proud to follow." Gleeson continued.

Jason and Leo sniffled as they nodded in agreement.

"Don't any of you cupcakes think otherwise. Peter will always be remembered in history as the King of Olympus and this year we are going to destroy every school that competes against us in his honor." coach yelled which got the entire baseball team to yell in agreement with him.

"Goodbye Peter you were my star player and you will be missed." the coach ended as he walked of stage.

The priest walked back up "And now some friends and family have things that will be placed with his grave as remembrance."

Nico, Reyna, Jason, Gleeson Hedge, Brunner, and Jupiter got up and walked over to the grave.

Jupiter went first placing a picture of a young Peter and a man that looked very much like him. A blonde tall man with albino white eyes. Aeolus Nico assumed.

The photo shot a pain in Nico's chest seeing his friend with his arm around his father.

Brunner than walked up and placed Peter's baseball jersey on the ground in front of the gravestone.

Jason walked up and placed Peter's track jersey right next to his baseball jersey sniffling while he walked away.

Reyna walked up with a shaky hand and placed Peter's broken pocket knife on the top of the mound at the base of the stone.

Jason and Brunner walked up and comforted Reyna as she started crying again.

Hedge walked up and placed Peter's bat on the side of the stone digging it into the ground to make sure it didn't fall over.

"Take care kid." Hedge said in a barely audible voice.

Lastly Nico walked up to the gravestone and looked at the name.

Percival Peter Sane

Beloved cousin and even better friend.

Taken too soon from his loved ones.

The things we do for the ones we love.

Nico almost lost it on the last line but held it together for Peter's sake.

Nico knelt down and placed the last item on his graves base stone.

A small black velvet box with a diamond ring inside.

Nico wiped away a tear as he stood up and went back to his friends where he was enveloped in a hug by all of his friends along with Jupiter and Mellie.

The priest walked back up to the podium.

"This ceremony has now come to an end I bid you all to be careful and may the lord watch over you as he shall watch over young Peter who stands with his father in Heaven."

As everyone was leaving Jupiter and Brunner kept Nico and his friends back.

"We need to speak with all right now." Jupiter said in an urgent voice.

"Whats wrong dad?" Jason said.

Jupiter looked at his son "Not here we need to get back to our house."

As they were in the limo driving back Jupiter got a phone call.

"Yes. Oh Apollo good do you have the test results. Good I want you to meet me at my house right now." Jupiter said in a commanding voice.

They all piled into the living room just as Apollo who was Jupiter's head scientist for his company Zeus industries and his son Will walked in.

Apollo was a tall man with a perfect smile and combed blonde hair.

His son was like a younger version of Apollo except he had sun kissed skin, startling blue eyes like the sky, and disheveled blonde hair.

He looked like a guy who went surfing every day of every week.

He was straight up cute and sexy.

Nico didn't realize he had been staring until Percy nudged him in the ribs and gave him a concerned look.

"I'm fine don't worry." he stated.

"So what is it dad?" Jason said very curious as to why Jupiter was so nervous.

Jupiter looked at Brunner and they both nodded.

"Kid's we have reason to believe that Peter may have been murdered." Brunner said grimly.

Everyone sat there wide eyed for a good ten minutes before Annabeth and Thalia said in unison "What!?"

Jupiter nodded "Because he was eighteen he was the sole heir to Four Winds Inc. his father's company."

Everyone nodded still completely shocked that someone would want to harm Peter.

"And because he was supposed to take responsibility as CEO the acting board member in charge would have to step down." Jupiter explained.

"Who is the acting board member?" Thalia asked.

"A man named Boreas North." Jupiter said.

"Wait you mean North as in Khione North?" Leo asked to which he got a nod from Brunner.

"You may have seen her at school." Brunner stated.

Nico vaguely recalled her with black hair and very pale skin.

"Okay wait, hang on, time out." Frank said holding his hands up in a time out manor.

"Your saying that Boreas killed Peter when he was with us on the trip?" Frank asked.

Jupiter shook his head "No, not Boreas. Khione."

Everyone was silent after that.

Nico knew Khione was a bitch but to go as far as murder was a lot to take in.

"Wait he was with us in the car when we crashed he was fine." Percy pointed out.

Jupiter nodded "Yes but that is why I have called Apollo and his son here."

Apollo stepped forward holding a few papers in his hand.

"Yes sir. You see Peter had a slow acting poison given to him. He would seem completely normal until the last possible second when his heart rate would have to spike causing his heart to give out immediately." Apollo explained.

"So when we hit the pothole his heart spiked and he had a heart attack and that's why we shot off the road?"

Apollo and his son nodded.

"And does anyone remember Khione being at the party?" Will asked his voice like an angel Nico thought.

Everyone nodded.

"She had to have slipped the poison into a drink and given it to him." Will explained.

"Well how about we bring this to the police and arrest his ass." Leo said.

Jupiter and Apollo shook there heads in dismay.

"We can't." Jupiter said.

"We don't know what poison was used and we can't pin Khione to the murder all we know is that she was there at the party."Will explained.

Everyone sat down and try to soak all of this up someone killed there friend so there daddy could be a CEO it was ludicrous.

"I'm sorry we have to bring this to you so early after Peter's passing but it was urgent." Brunner said.

"It's okay you did what you saw was right." Jason said.

"And you now what?" Annabeth said standing.

"We are going to help you prove Khione was the murderer." She said.

"Yeah." said Leo.

"She's going down." Jason and Percy said in unison while the other's nodded.

Jupiter smiled and Brunner chuckled.

"Alright but only work during school and nothing dangerous you are all excused from your classes until further notice due to the extremity of Peter's death." Brunner stated.

After that Jupiter, Brunner, Apollo, and Will left but just as Will was leaving Nico turned back to Nico.

"See you around Nico." Will said in his beautiful angelic voice.

Nico could only nod as Will winked at him and closed the door.

Alright please review and say what you think.
