Percy's POV

Even though we went to bed at almost midnight, I was still up at 6. I couldn't sleep. I looked over at Nico. He was still asleep under the covers, his long, curly black hair framing his face. I got up silently, and went over to the bed to grab the laptop. I sat on the floor and opened it up. I pushed the power button, and clicked my account, typing the password in. When I finally loaded, and I could see my wallpaper, Annabeth and I, I smiled. Nico had taken the picture perfectly. I was kissing her, and her arms were wrapped around my neck. It was, and I'm not trying to be cheesy here, picture perfect.
I opened up the internet browser, and logged into my email. I scanned through all of the useless stuff, about school, or activites, looking for one name. When I finally saw it, I opened it up immediately. I quickly read what Annabeth had sent me.

Dear Percy,
I honestly don't know how to say this. So I'll just say it. I'm breaking up with you. I've been thinking about this ever since you told me. I'm really sorry. I just cant happily be with someone who finds other people attractive. Not even other people. Other guys. How can you say you love me, when you can't even decide who you want. I hope you understand. I know you don't deserve to be turned down, because of it, especially since last time, but i'm sorry. I can't do it, I can't be in love with you. I hope, that you can forgive me, but, I just cant. Goodbye Percy.
Annabeth

I reread the email a couple times before the pieces came together. Annabeth was breaking up with me, because I was bi. She even knew my history of relationships, and how they ended. She was repeating history. Though, not exactly, but close enough. I'm not going to lie. It hurt a lot. I pulled my knees up to my chest, and started to cry. I just couldn't handle it. Not after last time.

Nico's POV
I woke up, curled into a ball on Percy's bed. I could hear soft sobbing coming from the corner of the room, and looked over. Percy was tucked in to the sleeping bag, all the way in the corner. Our laptop was pushed away from him, and it was evident that whatever was on the screen was what had caused him to cry.
I jumped out of bed, and hurried over to him. I wrapped my arms around him, and he fell into me. I let him cry into my chest, and stroked his hair. He needed a friend right now, and, even though it felt so right, that was all i was trying to be.
After sitting there for awhile, i realized that the sun was barley up, and it was very early. I wonder how long he has been awake. We went to bed late last night. He shouldn't have been up this early, but then again, neither should I.
I felt Percy pull away and I let go of him. He sat up and looked at me, his eyes piercing. It was obvious what he was telling me. This stays between us. I nodded at him, then made a grab at the ,laptop. I was curious to what had made him, of all people cry. He didn't even try to stop me.
I say that the site on the screen was a email, and quickly read through it. Annabeth was breaking up with him? What had happened last time? This email made no sense. Maybe, I thought, maybe, he told Annabeth stuff he wouldn't tell you. Because he loved her, and it was her he was crying about right now.
I looked up at Percy, and saw he was ashamed. I don't understand why. He had already told me he swung both ways. Maybe it was the "last time" thing. If so, he was going to tell me either way. I was determined.
I crossed my arms across my chest and said, as calmly as i could, "So, are you going to tell me what happened last time? Or are you going to leave me hanging?" He looked startled when i said that, though i dont understand why.

Percy's POV
Nico was going to make me tell him. About. Before. I looked Nico, and squared my jaw. "Nico, remember what you asked me last night? About being in love? Remember how i said 'Yes'? I wasn't lying. I was best friends with this guy named Robert in middle school. He was a cool guy. Player type. One to break peoples hearts. I honestly don't know why he stuck around with me, but he did. After awhile, i fell for him. For almost a full semester, i hid it. Around the end of 8th grade, i finally got the balls. I told him. I tried to kiss him. He kissed me back. It was like fireworks Nico. Then, he punched me in the gut. He called me horrible names, that im really not going to repeat. He broke my heart. Shattered it. Annabeth helped me get over him. But, now, this. Do you understand now?" I asked him, looking into his brown-black eyes.
He looked away, but later met my hard gaze, and nodded, before pulling me into a tight hug. He leaned closer to my ear, and whispered, "I'm so sorry. Lets go get some breakfast, maybe you'll feel a little bit better, yeah?"
He held on to my for a couple more seconds, before the tears started to flow. Before long, his shirt was soaked, and I felt a slight bit better. I sat up, and watched him go change his shirt. I never realized how much muscle he actually had. Wait, was that a 6-pack? Nico? A 6-pack? I never thought.
He changed into a light blue tee, and we walked downstairs together, not surprised that it was silent in the cabin.
