Killerninja123: Hope you like the chapter!

Ellie POV

I was puffing for every breath. Tears were streaming out of my eyes. I didn't know why I just ran out of the mess hall. I guess I was just too shock of what just happened. Nico sang to me? The thought rang into my head. His voice was so enchanting and the birds were quiet so they can have time to listen. I ran up to Half-Blood Hill. When I got there, I sat down, trying to get every single breath. I tried to wipe the tears away, but it was still coming out of my eyes. When I saw him yesterday, I wasn't repared to run. My heart hurts when I see him. It's like my heart was getting stabbed everytime, when I either see him or hear his name. Then as I looked down, I saw a pair of two black shoes.

"Wait," Nico said. "Please wait. Just for a little while."

I cried some more. I couldn't stop crying. What's wrong with me? I don't want him to dislike me. I don't want to be a bother to him. Nico walked up to me, as I tried to wipe the tears away. He touch my hand.

"I was only thinking of myself," Nico said. "Selfishly reflecting on only myself. Only saying what I wanted to say and I completely ingored your feelings. I should have known that it could happen. To never be able to see each other again, to have a chance to apologized. That could happen, I should have known. For me to repeat the same mistakes again and again, it's as if I had never known."

I was speechless of what he was saying, my face was turning red.

"I'm sorry, that I let you cry," Nico apologized. "I hurt you a lot, and I'm sorry. But this is the last time, this is the last time, I won't need a second chance. Just give me one more chance...with you. I want us to be together. From now on, being here at camp with you, together. I hate not being with you becaues...I love you!"

I felt like the time has stop. My eyes widen in shock. Nico confessed to me? The new thought rang into my head, as his voice repeats inside my brain.

"So...then, so does that mean that being with you is okay?" Nico asked as he smiles softly at me. "Hand in hand, being together is all okay? And see? We're holding hands."

He was right. We are holding hands. New droplets of tears came. I didn't know what to say. I cried as my cheeks flushed red. This words were still in my head. I felt like I wanted to be with him, together. His he's saying this for real? Or is this just an illusion like he said? Even though those words are already enough, but it feels like a dream. Suddenly, Nico touched my head and smooth his fingers along with my hair, then he did something unexpected. He kissed me. I was shock as my eyes widen. My heart was beating as if a thousand bombs were being hit. We broke apart and he looked at me.

"I have to say it..." Nico said hesitately as his cheeks were turning red. "This is the second time."

"AH!" I screamed as my face was full of redness. "WHAT? WHEN? EH?"

Nico POV

She doesn't remember? Wait! Her eyes were closed when I kissed her...so she was asleep, while her soul was getting taken away form Tamashi...so...I kissed her when she was sleeping...well this is great, but I hope she doesn't remember.

"E-Excuss me when?" Ellie suttered. "I remember when I was dying, my soul was being taken away, and my eyes were closed, so I was sleeping to get ready to die. Also my lips did felt wierd when my eyes were closed...so that means...you were kissing me when I was asleep?"

"So you do remember!" I said happily.

"Nico!" Ellie shouted. "You kissed me, in my sleep, while I was dying!"

I smiled and I took Ellie's hand and pulled her to me. I embrace her. My arms arounds hers. Ellie was also putting her amrs around me too. I felt like I can stay like this forever. The smell of her hair is like as if you're in the forest with her, looking at the stars. Then I heard something behind us. Ellie and I broke apart. Everyone from the mess hall was there. My face was burning red and so was Ellie's. Also my dad and step mom were here and so was Akuryo, Rue, and Elata.

"Finally you guys are together!" Percy exclaimed.

"How long were you guys here?" Ellie asked.

"We were here when Nico followed you here," Travis said

"Finally my son gets to have a girlfriend!" Dad shouted

"Way go, bro!" Akuryo said.

"Finally, that boy can get out of the Underworld," Peresphone muttered.

"Pita bread?" Will asked as he had a handful of the bread.

Ellie and I look at each other. We both smirked at each other. Ellie got out her bow and took out an arrow. She was set to shoot one of the eavesdroppers. I took out my sword and faced it at them. Everyone was quiet and turned pale. Ellie and I chuckled. Rue, Akuryo, and Elata disappeared to go back to the Underworld.

"Um...sorry?" Percy apologized

"You're not helping, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth shouted

"Shall we?" I asked Ellie.

"We shall." Ellie replied

Ellie shot her arrow and I slashed at them. Everyone started running as they dodged us. Ellie and I laughed with joy. I put my hand around her waist. Since, I'm going to be with her, I want her to be happy. I don't want her to cry. I don't want to be the one to make her cry. I want to be here, with her, together forever.

"Is there somthing wrong?" Ellie asked

I smiled and shook my head. "No, there's nothing wrong at all."

I touch her cheek with my hand. Ellie's face grew hot. I chuckled as I saw her reaction. I use my other hand to feel her nice light brown hair. Ellie smiled softly. Then slowly our lips touch. The feeling of her lips on mine was a bliss and it makes me feel like a different person. I put my arms aournd her waist so I can feel the warmth in her. I can feel her arms wraping around my neck. I never thought being in love can feel so passionate. Our lips slowly parted and we look into each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry," I apologzed again. "I love you."

"I already forgiven you," Ellie said. "I love you too."

I hugged her again. I want her to understand how she means to me. Unexpectedly I saw some light shine over our heads. I was still holding on to her waist as I turn my head. There was so a large number of shooting stars. As the light shine, Ellie looked beautiful by the second.

"You know we did met before," I mentioned. "At the bakery."

"I know," Ellie said. "I secretly knew it was you, but I wasn't too sure if you were that boy. You've givien me hope."

Ellie looked at me and smiled. I couldn't help, but smile as well. Since I gave her hope, she gives me hope too. Ellie rested her head on my shoulder as she watched the stars. My heart pounded as if the time bomb was ticking to explode. Finally being with her at my side, hugging her, kissing her, being in love with her. The feeling of this is what I love...

Being together with her.
