Chapter 8:
Disclaimer: I don't own Peir Johnson or any other characters
A/N: Hey guys! Did you like the last chapter. It was very fluffy, for all you saps out there. Anyway, they may be together, but the story is far from over... Sorry its been, what? 5 days, since I've updated. I've read my reviews, and even though they aren't from a ton a different people, I'll let this one slide. I think I'll try to update every weekend. Love you my pretties.
NICO'S POV
I knew the moment our lips met, she was perfect and she was mine. After a make out session, we crawled into bed and went to sleep. It was perfect. When I woke up, her head was burrowed in my chest. Her face was beautiful when she was asleep. Her guards weren't up, and I could see her beauty. I wasn't in love with her yet, but I really liked her. I just laid there, playing with her black, tangled wavy hair. I knew that when she opened her eyes, I would see electric blue with flecks of gold in her left eye and purple in her right. Coolest eyes ever. After a few minutes, she stirred in her sleep.
"Bunnies are brown, kittens are blue" she sad sleepily.
"What?" I said, mystified.
"Mmhhmm, they are, aren't they?" she was clearly sleep talking, so I decided to have fun with it.
"Of course. Hey Cas?"
"Yes?" she said "
"Do you like milk?"
"What's that?"
You know, the stuff that comes from cows?".
Instead of a yes or no she went "Quack Quack" (A/N: One of my bffs actually said quack quack in her sleep when we asked her if she liked milk. And I said the bunny/kitten thing. I say the weirdest things in my sleep). I just started laughing. She smiled at me, then burrowed her head back in my chest. It was pretty early, 6. We had 2 hours before breakfast. I wanted to change, so I carefully slid off of the bed, grabbed some black skinny jeans and a "Black Sabbath" t-shirt. I changed in the bathroom and brushed my teeth. When I got out, I found that Cassy was gone, but there was a note on my bed
Dear Nico,
I went back to my cabin to get ready. I'm keeping the sweats and shirt and I will see you at lunch, I'm not really hungry for breakfast. I don't know why I kissed you last night, I wasn't thinking very straight. Please don't bring it up. I'm sorry, I just can't get close to anyone.
~ C
I think my heart full of joy just popped. I was angry now. I comforted her and told her I cared about her. She doesn't even care. I was angry, and I was gonna get my revenge.
CAS' POV
I felt terrible. I let Nico think I liked him, and just left him. But I had to. I can't get close to people, even those who said they wouldn't hurt me. I don't know what got into me yesterday, but I can't fall for him. It just can't happen (A/N: denial {imagine that in the voices of the three sharks from finding nemo saying that}) I quickly wrote the note, and placed it on the bed before running out the door. I slowed down and silently opened my door. As I suspected, my cabin mates were still asleep. I grabbed a pair of jeans, my converse and a black t-shirt. No make up, I don't believe in face paint. I grabbed my phone and put my headphones in. I scrolled through my songs. I selected "Misery Loves my Company" by Three Days Grace. Something had been bothering me. Like, something was off about his death. Like, it didn't feel right. And I'm not just saying that because I loved him. Anyway, I decided I was going to just walk in the forest today. I know that's were something terrible happened, but it's the only place I could actually think. I WAS going to find who killed my brother, and they were going to pay.
-Line Break-
The air was frigid and bitter. It stung my face a bit, but I ignored it. I breathed deeply, the frosty air drying the back of my throat. The sun was hidden, somewhere beyond the gray, gloomy clouds. This was my favorite weather. Sad, dark, lovely. I sat down on the ground, not caring if the snow soaked through my jeans. I decided today was the day I was gonna think about what I chose to try and ignore with all of my heart. Joseph's death. I sighed and laid on my back. Slowly, the pain I'd had in my back for a while began to go numb. I wish I could just die here. Alone, numb. It's not like anyone would care. Joseph, my only friend, was gone. Lauren wouldn't care. She probably didn't even know we were gone. No one in this entire frickin planet cared about me.
"Maybe Nico does" I reasoned with myself. I dismissed the thought immediately. It doesn't matter if he might. I don't need him or anyone else to care about me. So, lets see. Jo didn't have anyone that wanted to kill him... did he? No, he would have told me. I don't remember being there for so long, but when I checked my phone for the time, it said 12:00, almost time for lunch. I decided I wasn't hungry, so I skipped it. Why did Hermes decide to stop me? There was something different about Joseph's death. I need to figure out why he was killed, and by whom. I sat up slowly, my back screaming in protest. I stretched my arms and stood up. The song that was playing was "You're going down" by Sick Puppies
Define your meaning of war
To me it's what we do when we're bored
I feel the heat coming off of the black top
And it makes me want it more.
Because I'm hyped up
Out of control
If it's a fight
I'm ready to go
I wouldn't put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know
It's been a long time comin
And the tables turned around
Cuz one of us is going
One of us is going down
I'm not runnin
It's a little different now
Cuz one of us is going
One of us if going down
Now, it's just between me and the killer. I wasn't just going to wait around and hope that karma gets them. No, I was gonna find them, and they were gonna pay. As I started walking, one of my head phones fell out. When I put it back in the other one fell out. I cursed under my breath. When I got them both in my ears, my favorite part was about to play.
When my fist
Hits your face
And your face
Hits the floor
It'll be a long time comin
But you got the message now
Cuz I was never going
Yeah you're the one that's going down
I sighed. That was my favorite part of the song. As it finished, I walked a bit farther into the woods. My brain must have been tired and slightly deranged, because a sudden thought came to me... no, it was crazy, wasn't it? I mean, I got there right after he got shot. I bet if I had been a few seconds earlier, I could have stopped it, or jumped in the way or something. So, the question kept coming up in my mind. I didn't even realize it, but tears were streaming down my face. This question would haunt me until I found out what happened. What is the question you ask? Well...
What if Hermes stopped me on purpose?
Woah... what do you guys think? This was a fun chapter to write. Please listen to the song "You're going down" by Sick Puppies and "Misery Loves My Company" by Three Days Grace. I hope you guys like this. I don't really know what I'm doing with this stories, but I'll figure it out. So, I'll be updating every weekend, given a few exceptions. So uh, just for fun, what's your guys favorite Disney movie and favorite song from that movie. Thanks my pretties, Peace out and Rock On! ~ dark-rebellion di angelo
