"Are you sure about this," Apollo asked once Hades went back to work. "Well, yeah," I replied. He looked at me skeptically, "I don't believe you." I rolled my eyes. "It doesn't matter what you believe, okay? I'm getting married in two weeks no matter what anyone thinks," I said out of pure frustration. "Do you love him," he asked. "Of course I do," I answered. "Don't lie," he spat through gritted teeth. I nibbled on my bottom lip. I'm not 100% sure if I love Hades. I'm not 100% sure about anything anymore.

I don't even know what love is, okay? But I know that Hades is a good friend and that's all I need." Apollo scoffed and rolled his eyes. "People say that you're supposed to marry your best friend and marry someone that makes you happy," he stated. He obviously doesn't know who he's talking to. That's when I lost it. "Really? Well let's take a look at my parents. Are they married? Not to each other. Do they cheat? All the time. And what am I Apollo? I'm a freaking product of an affaire. My mom is married to Hephaestus. Does she love him? Not at all. Does he love her? Hell no. So don't try to preach to me about love and the sacredness of marriage. It's a waste of breath."

Apollo's whole demeanor softened. "Deadly, I-""Get out!" Apollo took a step closer to me, "Deadly-"I slapped him across the face. "I said GET OUT!" Apollo glared at me then vanished. He's such an ass wipe. Apollo's a self-centered, good for nothing, pretty boy. That's probably all he'll ever be, too. I don't see what the big deal is. No one marries who they love anymore. It's more like a challenge to see how long two people can stand living with each other. Yeah, I don't really believe in love. Shocker, right?

I heard a noise that sounded a lot like BANG. I turned around and guess who was standing in front of me? Zoey and Nico. "Need some rescuing," Nico asked sarcastically. I shook my head, "Actually, no." Zoey slapped Nico's shoulder. "I told you and um…new look for the vacation to hell?" A small laugh escaped my lips, "I guess you could say that." Zoey nodded her head, "Any chance I could get one in blue?" I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know. You're gonna have to ask whoever gave this to me." Zoey thought it over for a second, "Okay." Nico, out of the blue, walked up to me. "What do you mean you don't need rescuing? Do you plan on staying here," he asked incredulously. "Yeah, I do." Nico did a double take, "What?"

I took a deep breath, "Well, I'm….I'm getting married." Nico's eyes were the size of the moon. "WHAT," Zoey screamed on the top of her lungs. I was taken aback by her sudden outburst. "I-I'm getting married," I repeated. "To who," she asked. I could tell she was dying to know. Zoey had to know everything but she's not annoying like some people. "I….uh…."

I didn't want to say this in front of Nico. He might go crazy or congratulate me. I didn't want him to do either. If he goes crazy that might mean that he likes me and if he congratulates me it means he could give a damn. Do I want to him to like me or no? I mean I know I lo-like him. I like him. It's just that he's not going to be around forever and I am. That's what it comes down to. I'm never going to stop living and Nico's time is going to be up one day. I don't want to get too attached if he's going to end up leaving me one way or the other.

"Nico, can Zoey and I have some girl talk?" He started shaking from anger, "Who are you marrying?" I remained silent. Nico took a step closer to me. "Who are you marrying," he growled. I still didn't answer. He took another step. Our faces were an inch apart. "Who," he repeated. His voice was barely a whisper and yet he still sounded angry. "Hades," I tried to say but it didn't come out. "H-Hades," my voice was barely audible. "Why would he marry you? You're not an immortal," he stated. He acted like didn't believe what I was saying. He sounded like he didn't believe what I was saying. "About that, my mom, as you both know is Aphrodite. My dad he's," I took a deep breath, "he's Ares."
