My vision was blurring as I ran from the infirmary. I couldn't see where I was going. Everything was just blurs of color. I realized a black blur a little to late and collided with it. I fell to the ground with a loud thud. "Deadly, why can't you watch where you're going?" I pulled my knees to my chest and sobbed as Nico realized I was crying. He kneeled in front of me, "What's wrong?" He caressed my cheek, forcing me to look him in the eyes. My vision was still blurry. Nico was just a blur of black and white. I was so frustrated that I slapped him across the face. I stood up, "Everything." I tried to walk away but Nico got to his feet fast and dragged me somewhere. I still had trouble seeing because the tears wouldn't stop falling.
Once Nico stop pulling me like a rag doll he shoved me up against a wall. "When will you stop?" He asked aggravated. He was mere inches away from my face. "Stop what?" I whispered. Nico put both arm on either side of me. I was trapped against the wall. "Stop blaming me for everything." He said through gritted teeth. I tried to push him away but he was too strong. Stupid muscles. "Will you let go of me?" I started punching his chest but he wouldn't budge. He pinned my wrists to my side and his body against mine. I stopped crying when I started punching Nico. I made me feel better because I was taking my anger out on him. "Nico what-" He pressed his lips to mine. I was to shocked to do anything. He just kept kissing me as stood frozen to the spot. He moved his hand from my wrists to my waist. I snaked my arms around his neck after he pulled me even closer. We pulled apart gasping for air. "Deadly, I-" I slapped him across the face and ran to the Eos cabin.
I pounded the door vigorously with my fist, "Becca! Get your butt out here now or-" The door swung open and Becca leaned on the door frame, "You called?" She crossed her arms and smirked. "Meet me at the beach in five, okay?" Her eyes went wide, "That bad?" I rolled my eyes, "You have no idea." She laughed and nodded her head, "See you in five." She shut the door as I walked to the beach. When Becca and I got really close we decided to meet at the beach when we had something important to talk about. Not many campers go to the beach. Usually, only children of Poseidon are there and he has very few children. I took my shoes off and rolled up my pants. I walked up to the water's edge feeling at ease. The water was warm as it surrounded my feet. "Deadly!" Becca called from behind me. With a deep breath I walked back to Becca. She plopped down on the sand and patted the ground next to her. I sat next to her and silently thanked the gods that no one was at the beach. "So…." Becca titled her had to the side and stared at me. I took a deep breath, "I never want to talk to Trevor again and Nico kissed me. Oh, look a birdie. Did you know-" "Whoa, don't change the subject. You kissed Nico? Nico Di Angelo?" Her eyes were wide in excitement. Don't ask me what she was excited about because I have no idea. "Correction, Nico kissed me." She rolled her eyes, "Did you kiss back?" I started drawing random pictures in the sand, "Maybe." Becca shoved my shoulder, "Oh my gods! You and Nico! Finally! You guys are so cute together! I can't believe-" "What are you talking about? After our little make out session I slapped him in the face and ran away." Her jaw went slack and her eyes were cloudy. "You what?" I stood up and ran across the beach. Why is every not happy with me?
I started to run into the forest when I got close to the boundary line. Once I was completely surrounded by trees I stopped running and aimlessly wandered through the woods. When I came across Zues's fist I was surprised I was still alone. I climbed on the rocks and laid across the top. I put my arms behind my head and looked up at the sky. The sky was seemed crowded with big puffy clouds that hovered in front of the sun. I bet Apollo wasn't too happy about that. "No, I'm not." I jumped into a sitting position and looked around. No one was there. I must be hearing things. "You're not." I hopped off Zues's fist and spun around. I still didn't see anyone. "Who's there?" I asked while backing up into a tree. I blinked and then a twenty year old guy with blonde hair and tan skin stood before me. He was a god, literally. "Apollo, you scared me." He smirked, "Sorry, Deadly." I rolled my eyes, "I can feel the remorse in your voice." He laughed and backed up a bit, "Gods, I missed you, Olympus is too serious without you." I knew I was blushing because he started laughing harder. "Oh, shut up! How did you hear my thoughts?" Please don't be a mind reader, please don't be a mind reader. "You said those things out loud." Oops. Well, at least he's not a mind reader. "Right, let's go to camp! I bet your kids want to see you." I bet you've never had to say that to your friends before. At least I hope not. "I don't know Deadly, I mean-" "Apollo I wasn't asking you, I was telling you." I grabbed his hand and started leading him towards camp. "When was the last time you even saw them?" He tensed, "I don't remember." I stopped walking which caused him to be yanked backwards. "How can you not remember? They're your kids. Apollo you promised-" "I didn't swear on the River of Styx." I let go of his hand and stormed to the Apollo cabin.
I knocked on the door four or five times and still got no answer. "If someone doesn't open the door I will tell your father!" Within two seconds a short little blonde boy answered the door, "How could you tell my dad?" He looked no older than eight and he was so cute. "He's here to visit you and your siblings." The little boys face lit up and he ran back into the cabin, leaving the door ajar. I peaked in and saw no one. "Little dude, where'd you go?" I walked in and shut the door behind me. "I'm over here!" I looked in the corner and there he was. He had a yellow polo shirt on and kakis. He was putting on some Dockers when I found him. I realized he was getting dressed up to see his dad. "Need any help?" He was sitting on his bed trying to tie his shoes. His little cheeks were burning red, "Yes, please." I knelt in front of him and tied his shoes. "What's your name little guy?" "Jason." He grabbed a brush from his nightstand and started brushing his hair. I wanted to cry when I figured out this must be the first time he's ever seen his dad. Someone knocked on the door and Jason asked me to go get it. I got up from my knees and gave him a quick smile before I got the door. There in all his mighty was Apollo. "How'd you get here before me?" The god asked with a "thinking" expression. "I didn't stop by the water fountain to check myself out." Apollo bowed and said, "Touché." We both started laughing but were interrupted by Jason. "Daddy?" I moved out of the way and let Apollo in the cabin. "Yeah, it's me." Jason went running into Apollo's arms. It looked like something out of a movie. Apollo put his son on his shoulders and they both turned to face me. "Why don't we take Deadly out to dinner Jason?" I felt my eyes pop out of my head. "Apollo, you-" "Let's go out for food!" Jason exclaimed. "What do you say, Deadly?" Jason and Apollo were both giving me puppy dog eyes. Stupid cuteness. "Okay, we'll just have to ask Chiron first." Apollo gave me the "are you serious?" look and I rolled my eyes. "Fine, I'll tell Chiron we're going out to eat." I didn't realize how hungry I was until they mentioned food. I guess the whole making out with Nico thing made me forget about lunch. "The chariot's a ford mustang today and it's parked near the entrance. We'll meet you there." Apollo and Jason started walking towards the entrance and I left to go look for Chiron.
Fortunately, I found Chiron rather quickly but unfortunately, he was at the Hades cabin. "Excuse me, Chiron, I just needed to tell you that Apollo will be taking me and his son Jason out to dinner tonight." Chiron stopped the conversation he was having with Nico and Tyler. Tyler is obviously another son of Hades. He's sixteen and I don't get along with him any better than I get along with the twins. "Deadly, thank you for informing me but if you don't mind me asking, why is Apollo taking you out to dinner?" My cheeks felt like they were on fire, "Well, I…I'm not entirely sure." Chiron had an amused smile on his face, "Very well, Deadly, make sure Jason's back by nine. He's still very young." I bowed to Chiron, "No problem." I turned to leave but I still saw Nico glaring at me and Tyler trying not to laugh .
As I made my way to Apollo's chariot I was remembering everything that's happened today. I woke up early because of Nico, I talked with Hestia, I met a new Zoey, I kind of set Snake and Spike on fire, I think I lost a friend, Nico kissed me, I slapped him, Becca thinks Nico and I should be together (ew), I ran into Apollo, I met Jason, and now I'm going out to dinner with Apollo and Jason. Just another normal day in my stupid, never ending, gods forsaken life.
