A/N: Hello people! Thie chapter is going to be short, because it's late, and I don't have time to update because my mom is making me finish my summer homework, but she's asleep now, so I have like an hour before I fall asleep.
Anyway, I wonder why all of you think Nico said "I love you"? I actually never thought about that. Shows how much I suck at writing romances. I actually don't even know if I'm going to make Nico and Hannah get together, but my friend wanted this to be a Nico/OC story. P.M. me or review telling me whether or not you want me to make it one. It'll show me how many people actually read the things I have to say.
Disclaimer: TheDumbBlondiee does NOT own PJO, but she owns, Hannah, Elaine (not my friend), Francesca (she's gonna be mentioned in this chapter (hehe not my friend)), Mark (not my little brother), and Heather (I actually have never met anyone named Heather, I don't know where I heard it.)
Chapter 20: Let's add More to This Crazy Mix, Shall we?
Hannah's POV
Right now, I'm sitting on the ground outside the infirmary, waiting for that Apollo camper to come back out and tell me when I can see Nico. I'm thinking a lot about what he said.
He had looked up at me, right before they were going to carry him to the infirmary, right before he passed out.
"Hannah," he whispered, so only I could hear, "it was a fury!"
That truly shocked me. I mean, the Kindly One's live in the Underworld, and Nico's dad is the god of the Underworld. Why would his dad want to hurt him?
The Apollo camper walked out, he told me that I could see Nico. He said that he should be waking up soon. Then, he should be able to get up and around in about an hour. It's only three o'clock now, so he'll still have time to get all cleaned up for his date with Heather. I feel bad for him, he's got to go through that make over again.
I walked into the infirmary, took one look at Nico, and nearly started crying harder than I was before. He was paler than he usually was. He had lost almost all of the weight that he gained this year, so his hopes of becoming normal were dead.
**Flashback**
It was the middle oof January, and Nico and I were at our lockers, talking before gym.
"You know, I think you're finally gaining weight, you won't look like a ghost anymore!" I almost screamed at him.
"Haha, very funny I'm a ghost, as in the ghost thing haha. Oh, and by the way, you're just as skinny as me."
I punched him in the arm, playfully.
"You know, you're also getting taller, which means I am too," I whispered the last part.
"Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask you-"
"What?" I cut him off.
"Can you lay off the whole aging at the same rate thing, I mean I want to be taller than you, I do have some manly pride you know."
The last part made me want to burst into laughter, but he had a serious look on his face, so I held back.
"Okay, from now on, I will make sure you are always two inches taller than me. Happy?" I asked.
"Very," he smiled, then walked away. I started laughing, Nico was such a dork sometimes.
**End of Flashback**
I smiled at the memory, Nico and his manly pride.
"What are you smiling about?" A raspy voice asked.
"Oh, Nico, I didn't realize you were awake. And I was just thinging."
"Leave it to you children of Athena to thing all the time."
We both smiled.
"What were you thining about?"
"Nothing really, the whole monster attack thing, and the fact that your dad must have sent it."
"Yeah, I have to ask him about that, I'll go whenever that Apollp camper says it's safe for me to shadow travel."
"Sorry you're recovery is taking you so long, it's my fault."
"How?"
"I'm the one who gave you all that nectar earlier, so you couldn't have as much when you really needed it."
"It's okay, it's not your fault, sometimes you just forget, that's all. I really didn't mean all of those things I said."
"I'm sorry to, I really need to remember that not everybody is like me."
"You're lucky though, you're a godess so you don't feel pain," he said.
"What do you mean, of course I feel pain, sometime us immortal people have it worse than you mortals, because all of your pain ends with death, both mental and physical. Your body can't feel anything anymore, and let's face it Nico, after you die, you can spend forever with Bianca, your mom, and everybody else you've ever cared about, you know, apart from me and the rest of us immortal people. And even if I do fade, your dad wouldn't put me in Esylum, he hates me! And I have never done anything to be considered a hero," I sighed, and then looked him in the eye. I could tell that what I said was something that he already knew, but just decided to avoid.
"I'm sorry I didn't really mean that either."
"It's okay, you should get some rest, you've got a busy day today."
Nico's been gone for a while now. I'm getting worried, if his dad tried to kill him, it might not be safe for him to go to the Underworld and see his dad.
Nico knocked on my cabin door, and I let him in. We both sat down, and by the looks of it, he had a lot to say.
A/N: Okay, I'm sorry this chapter is kind of crappy. I already have Nico's visit to to Underworld all planned out, but I'm too tired to write it all. P.M. me or review telling me if you want me to re-write this chapter.
Anyway, even if you didn't hate this, tell me what you think. I'm not sure if I'm going to update soon, depending on how much time I have. but I'll be sure to make time once I know that people are reading this, so make my day and review, please!
