Thalia's POV

I couldn't believe he was actually coming to get me. After that whole thing which I twisted and screwed up so badly it looks like a pretzel. I don't regret it really now in fact I'm glad it happened. Why you ask? It made me go home and see what Luke has been doing for what I can only think quite some time now. I was planning on apologizing to Nico the whole time. When I saw his car and even just as I was about to walk out the door.

But when I saw him I knew I couldn't. Not yet anyway's because the way he was looking at me. It was like he was maybe disappointed in me ,but happy that I called him instead of trying to drive myself. But I could also tell he was torn.

"Thalia.." He said walking over to help steady me in my drunken state. The fact that he even cared enough to do that made me start crying all over again. I thought it was that ,but my emotions are so screwed right now it's not even funny. "Are you okay? Why'd you come here I'm sorry.."

"No it's okay it's just I left Luke." I let out a shaky breath wiping the tears away from my face. "And it wasn't you. He cheated on me with the Dare girl."

"We'll talk about this later right now we need to get you home and in a dark room so your head doesn't explode tomorrow." I laughed lightly knowing I would have the worse hangover in the world tomorrow. But I hoped I would at least remember to close the curtains again because my room faced the sun. "But Annabeth is staying over Percy's house like me do you want to..?" He glanced over looking at me while starting up the car and pulling out. I raised my eyebrows hearing about Percy and Annabeth. "Not because of that she was just worried about you and well apparently your house is scary at night?"

"She's got that right.." I mumbled remembering when I was younger and I had to say there alone for weeks at a time. I always begged my dad to let me stay with my mother ,but he always said I was better off with a maid. "Nico..." I said looking up seeing him glance at me. "How on earth can you drive me home. If I was you I would be furious not to mention depressed."

"Well I guess it's because the sound of your voice on the phone." He looked at me again nervous of what I was going to say or possibly yell ,but I was almost passing out so I think I just looked drunk and tired. "You were scared and crying. Something told me that I needed to or I would regret it. But also I kind of want to know what happened between you and Luke when you went home."

"You little gossip!" I laughed slightly making a very weird movement were I leaned over and pointed at him like my old Nun teachers used to do to me all the time when I got in trouble.

"Thalia I'm serious what happened? You're drunk and you're not even old enough to drink. I can tell that pictures old and you already told me you broke up with him. But why? You seems so happy ,you were getting engaged who just quits that?" He snapped the first part ,but slowed down as he was talking. I could feel tears welling up in my eye's as I remembered when I walked into that stupid house.

"Well..he was cheating on me with some bitch named Rachel Dare. He said I was the maid and after he tired to blame it on his work!" I said harshly and looked at the window wishing I could just forget. Obviously I wasn't drunk enough. "And well I was just mad and frustrated. I guess alcohol solves my problems in a way because even just making them go away for a bit is better then having to remember them every second of my stupid day." Damn these stupid emotions making me cry all the time like I was some fragile person. But I guess in a way I was fragile in the sense that if I'm toyed with and just break it goes over board. But who the hell knows?

"Thalia obviously it doesn't solve your problems. If it did you wouldn't be here you would be at that bar ,you would've never called me. And I would've never gotten you." Shoot this boy was deep ,well deeper then his pale pale skin made him look. "Why on earth would Luke do that though! He has the damn most beautiful girl in the world and he screws it over for some air-head?" He was practically yelling and obviously frustrated.

I could feel myself blushing as he spoke. "I'm not the most beautiful Nic-" But the stubborn man cut me off. "Yes you are! Not only that, you're not fake you don't rely on other people so much to the point were you would die! It's just not fair that a guy like him could get you! Then on top of that screw it up! It's not right Thalia it never will be." He said looking at me. I never noticed this ,but his eye's weren't that black after all like I'd thought. Now that I see them they look more like a brownie my mom used to make. Dark on the outside ,but warm and soft in the middle.

"You just say everything's not fair Nico ,but think about it the only reason I know was because I kissed you and ran away!" I could barley look up at him when I spoke.

"Yea ,but you didn't want to I'm doubting that-" That's were I cut him off. Because he was wrong I did want to I was just to scared to even admit it to myself at the time. Then about 9 hours ago I was a wife-to-be ,now I'm a very single ,very angry ex-girlfriend.

"No, Nico! It's not fair because I did want to kiss you! It's not fair because I was in love with Luke ,but I didn't care! And then I did kiss you and reality snapped back, once I got home karma did too!" Karma's a real bitch now that I think about it. And I've never believe in it! Ever!

"What?" He said in a weak voice that seemed like it could never yell. It's surprising how quickly people retreat to there own minds when they get confronted with something they didn't expect. It happens all the time and you might not even notice it. But if you listen there's a slight change in voice or maybe there pride get's the better of them and they just get mad. But it's because people on nature get into there own way. Or it's my drunk physiology talking ,but I'm pretty sure that seems right.

After arriving at Percy's place we stopped the car ,but we didn't get out or at least for a couple of minutes. We didn't do anything stupid we just simply talked quietly about what had happened at the beach and came to the conclusion that if in the future we wanted to be together then there was nothing stopping us. But right now I literally just broke up with someone I had planned to spend my life with. First I had to talk to him ,then I could think about other relationships.

"How are you so understanding?" I laughed slightly as he opened the door for me.

"I have an older sister who had more boyfriends I care to count. Her break-ups were nuclear, so I have experience about trying to calm someone down and cheer them up."He said giving me a hug which was exactly what I wanted. It was like he was a mind reader not that I'm complaining. We opened the door quietly or a quietly as someone who is still stumbling around could though we soon learned it didn't matter. Nico wanted to check out the living room were Percy and Annabeth were last. I don't say things are cute ,but they were an exception.

I guess they fell asleep watching TV on the couch because Annabeth was snuggled against Percy. She had her head on his chest and he had his hands around he waist almost protectively. There legs were tangled together and the TV was still on softly. I saw a flicker of a smile on Nico's face as he threw a blanket over them because the air conditioning was clearly on like 50 degrees.

"Their defiantly something.." I said laughing a bit as I heard Annabeth snore a little. She claimed she doesn't yet one time at a sleep over I got it on tape. She thought I faked it though and refuses to believe me even to this day.

"Oh yea now we need to get you settled. I guess you can have one of my shirts and some shorts that I haven't worn in years and they might fit." He said looking around the room. Emphasis on might though because he was a good 2 inches taller then me ,but he had way more muscle.

"Are they clean?" I wrinkled my nose because I knew for a fact the some boy's didn't have the best hygiene. (Cough cough Percy in the summer on 9th grade cough) I saw him roll his eyes before throwing me an old concert T-shirt and a pair of shorts I would obviously need to roll and tie.

"Duh I wash my clothes twice every week and I always wash those ,but never wear them." He said rolling his eye's again. I laughed to myself wow twice a week, that's better then once a month. "The bathroom is down the hall take a left then another right and it should be the third door on your left. And your sleeping in the guest room which is right in front of you once you go up the staircase."

I was just about to turn when he said something I wasn't expecting. "I'm not Percy from the summer of 9th grade you know.." He chuckled while I just turned around back to him and laughed.

"Yea ,but I'm guessing that means you know we dated and that were keeping it a secret from Annabeth?" I said trying to give him a hard look. I know I'm keeping something from a friend and yes I feel guilty about it ,but I have my own reasons.

He just simply nodded and started walking away, "Oh I know I just don't know why yet. And someday I will and Annabeth will find out too I don't know why your hiding it ,but it must be pretty important!" He said before closing a door. Yea it is pretty important I thought to myself as I walked up the stairs.

Annabeth POV

I woke up on a couch which didn't surprise me because the last thing I remember before falling asleep was Percy saying something I can't remember anyway's. My head was on Percy chest and I would get up and move ,but I was too tired or comfortable to even think about getting up at the moment. I looked up at him to see if he was still sleeping and he was which didn't really surprise me. Though I noticed he was muttering something.

At first I tired moving up a bit to hear what he was saying ,but the second I tried his arms wrapped around me tighter keeping me in place. I heard one long breath and a half asleep voice saying,

"Is someone trying to get away?" I closed my eye's listening to him talk debating wither or not to answer back because he might just fall back asleep.

"Now why in the world would I do that?" I said looking up again seeing him barley open one eye and look at me before closing it again and chuckling softly.

"No reason just a suspicion.." He said before taking a deep breath and immediately springing up almost knocking me to the ground.

"Wow is someone trying to get away?" i said turning the tides looking at him with his messed up clothing that he wore yesterday. (He might've forgotten to change.)

"Annabeth? Do you smell that? That's Belgium waffles! I forgot Leana only makes them when guest stay over!" He said almost jumping up and down from excitement. I got up adjusting my Pj's which consisted on flannel pants and an old running T-shirt.

"Truthfully I wasn't really focusing on that more of how I was sleeping?" I said regretting trying to find out what he was saying in the first place because I was still tired. "And not to mention we stayed up till how late last night eating food?" I pointed at the empty plate that still had a few crumbs left on it from the blue cookies.

"If I remember we didn't just eat." He winked as I punched him lightly in the arm ,but I didn't really care because we just made out before falling asleep as if we haven't done that already. He grabbed my hand leading me into the kitchen where there were four different waffles and one note that he read over. "The silent cooking ninja strikes again," He looked like a schizophrenic idiot looking around. His eye's finally landed on a white board on the wall with speaker on the side of it.

After fiddling with it for a few seconds he screamed into it,"NICO, THALIA EAT YOUR BREAKFAST OR I WILL!" and after a moment or two there was one rumpled Thalia in the kitchen and Nico walked in the back way ams must've forgotten a shirt on the way here. "Nico man I love you ,but wear a shirt there are guests here." Percy laughed taking one from the counter and throwing it at him.

"Dude my body is a temple treat it with respect." He laughed while he looked at the counter holding said waffles and smiled like a mad man.

"Dude your body is a temple of death put the damn shirt on." I laughed just before biting into the waffle that was placed into my hands. "Also I think Thalia is a wee bit hung over." Percy said glancing to the side where Thalia already had a pair on sunglasses on and some ear plugs. I didn't even notice that and I would ask Percy how he knew that she would've been hung over because you'd have to know her for a long time to know that. Oh well he could've just said it as a joke.

"Just give me that damn waffle you annoying-" Thalia said before I cut her off.

"Thalia I didn't know you stayed here last night why on earth didn't;t you tell me?" She looked up at me and even through the sun glasses I could see she was trying not to laugh.

"You were asleep. And I didn't want to wake you because you might've moved." She laughed before putting her heard back down on the table.

"What is it really a big deal that we slept together?" As soon as I had said it I noticed what I said because Thalia's eye's got wide and Nico looked at me strangely. "Not actual slept like THAT ,but like sleeping in a close proximity."

"I don't know what you mean by saying that? What ever do you think I thought?" Thalia smirked before I whipped the sunglasses off her eyes knowing she already had a really bad head ache and light makes it worse.

But sadly as soon as I got them she was able to take them back and slap them on her face again to get any real light in her eyes. "Oh and Annabeth you know that country club? Were taking tennis lessons today.." She said while slowly taking a bite of the waffle like it was going to explode or something.

"Oh cool were taking those too because Percy's father said he had to learn for some charity thing. Apparently he's terrible." Nico laughed as Percy turned red and smoothly hit his friend on the back of the head.

"Yea well I hold a record at the country club for most games lost and most ball's lost while playing a game." He smirked and used a tone of voice that only he could use to make that sound like a good thing. "I'm consistent."

"Yes well your consistency needs to get us home so we can change. And while I'm on the subject on clothing who's are you wearing exactly Thalia?" I said looking over at the to-big shorts and baggie shirt she was wearing.

"Nico's he lent them to me.." She said looking at me surprised I had on my own pajamas.

"Are they clean?" I said scrunching up my nose knowing that not all boy's wash there clothing everyday of the week.I saw Nico laugh as he tossed the keys on the counter to Percy.

"You two are so alike." I saw a flicker of a smile on Thalia's face knowing the reason for it because when you practically grow up together you share the same opinions more then once. Though I knew it was a flicker too because she's hiding something. I'm not sure what ,but she feels guilty enough not to make a witty remark. So it must be something old because those things eat at her for not telling me. Whatever it is I don't really want to know because everything is fine for now
