I love all of you. I've been reminiscing (sp?) on old times in my past and my old stories and I had an idea for later in this story. So, without further rambling, here is chapter 3.

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, except Tonight and Twilight (which I mention).

Nico's POV

On normal occasions, before a tour we'd all be hanging out and drinking and then passing out on the couches. But, this was not a normal occasion. I got stuck with Thalia at the house while Connor, Travis, Percy, Annabeth, and Katie all went out to lunch.

Everything was silent as we sat as far away from each other as possible. I typed away on my laptop answering numerous letters of fan mail. I blasted a Green Day cd through my headphones.

I cracked my neck and sighed, leaning my head back on the wall. I glanced over to Thalia, who was watching TV. She was watching music videos on MTV, and when a certain song came on she would suck in a deeper breath and closed her eyes.

I cocked my head to the side and finally spoke up, removing my headphones.

"Why do get so emotional when you hear this?" I snapped at her.

"Why are you an ass-hole?" she retorted.

"Why are you a heart-less bitch?" I yelled and tried to run out of the room.

Unfortunately, Percy had known I would try to run out, so all the doors out of the room were locked from the outside. I kicked the lock once, twice, then a third until it popped open. I ran out and slammed it behind me. I didn't go anywhere, mostly because I was then locked in a closet. I heard sobbing from the other side of the door, and Thalia's voice chiming in a few seconds.

"Annabeth?" she paused for a second, listening, "Can you come back? Your plan didn't work for once. No, he didn't recognize the song." What song? "Yeah, he just locked himself in a closet after I called him an ass-hole… He had it coming!" Pause. "He then called me a heart-less bitch then ran into the door, literally. Tell Percy he didn't break it, I can hear him freaking out. Okay, so you're coming then? Ok, thanks. Bye." She hung up and I was left in silence until she spoke up.

"I thought it would mean more to you. Six months and you forgot our song. You truly are an ass-hole, aren't you? A player, don't they call it now? You certainly know how to play my heart. How many songs did you write about me? How many were about me being a bitch?" I didn't answer, "That's what I thought. After everything I did for you when we dated. You do know you were my first? I guess that means nothing to you. One night stand? Seems like it know, does it not? What about your song 'Tonight'? That was about me, obviously. You wanted to know if it was real after what we did. I'd like to say no, but, you'd love to make a liar out of me, wouldn't you?"

"Shut up." I hissed through gritted teeth. "You know it's not true. Everything I say is a lie. I don't hate you. I hate how we broke up. You wouldn't date me while I was on tour for three months." She interrupted me.

"It was because you would've fucked around, literally!" She was yelling now and I opened the closet door and ran out, so I was face to face with her.

"You thought I would? Honestly?" I was again on the brink of tears coming but I would not give her that satisfaction. "I wasn't like that. I'm not like that. I'm sorry you thought that but it wasn't true. I went through depression then, nobody could come near me without Percy or Travis or Connor protecting me from more hurt. I loved you."

She sighed and asked the deciding question to this argument. "But do you still love me?" She looked up into my eyes and I put my hands on each side of her face.

I then leaned down and kissed her. At first it was a little hesitant from me but after a few seconds of surprise, she deepened it. We made it to a couch with me on top of her when she broke away, and grabbing her phone. I cocked my head to the side and she showed me what she was sending.

To: Annabeth

Message: On second thought, why don't the five of you go out shopping or something? I'll be fine.

I smiled showing it was perfect, and leaned back down as she pressed the green send button. She wrapped her arms around my neck and let my hands wander. I hadn't felt like that in almost half a year. I remember my shirt coming off and pants, so in five minutes, I was stripped down in boxers. But before anything happened, I responded to her question, "Most definitely." Eventually she was wearing the same thing as I was, except make an exception for the boxers. But in the next few minutes, the few pieces of clothing we were wearing came off, and the rest is history.

TWO HOURS LATER

I woke up from the sound of a lock turning. I quickly shot up and pulled a shirt and boxers on, seeing Thalia had gotten dressed when I was asleep. I sat back down and turned the TV on. Percy walked in and gave me a questioning look. When I didn't answer, he told me to walk with him to his room.

"So, what happened?" he asked lying back on his bed.

"We… Talked." I told him.

"Yes, the talk of love is powerful isn't it? You know what's even more powerful? The talk of sex." He stood and was basically yelling at me. "You're leaving in two days! You can't be fucking around, and fucking up too much! What happens when you make a mistake on tour and it breaks you two apart for good? We'll be traveling to Japan, and Canada, not to mention Australia. You know what Travis says: The girls down under are hard to resist." He was yelling at me at that point.

"It's not going to happen." I mumbled.

"You're right. It's not. Because you're breaking whatever you have with her off!" he then stomped out of the room.

"You're not my dad, Percy! Technically I'm older than you!" I yelled at him. I ran outside and went for a run in jeans (which I had put on after my conversation with Percy), my black, red, and white Converse Chuck Its, and a Green Day t-shirt. I knew people would recognize me, but that was kind of the point. I started slowing down as I got closer to down town and people surrounded me, wanting autographs, to pictures, to just a hug. Then, a little girl came up to me who looked like she was only seven.

I bent down to her level and asked, "You don't look old enough to know who I am." She shook her head, which was covered in black hair.

"I don't listen to your music, but I know who you are." She told me. "You're Nico from Don't Steal Death's Water. My brother loves you, but he's not allowed to come outside."

"And how old is your brother?" I asked her.

"He's fifteen. He's not allowed to come outside because she's very sick. I thought that if I got him something that was signed by you, he'd get better." She was smart for a little girl.

"Of course, but do you know what's wrong with him?" I thought I was pushing the limits but she just nodded.

"He has blood cancer. I think its called leukemia." She got a sad look on her face.

I smiled at her and she looked up and I saw her eyes looked exactly like Thalia's. I hid my shock and she handed me a poster. "What's your brother's name?" I asked her.

"His name is Darren Christopher." She told me.

I smiled as I heard the name. It was one of my favorite names. I wrote,

To Darren, I hope you stay strong through this. If you ever need help, write me a letter. I wrote my address down. You have a whole band behind you. Stay strong bud. Nico di Angelo DSDW.

"Tell your brother to stay strong." I told her.

She nodded at me, then handed me a picture, and went down the sidewalk and into a house. I sighed, and turned around. Going for a run was to think about me only. But as I walked back, all I could this about was the boy who had cancer.

BACK AT THE HOUSE

I ignored everyone when I got back. I went up to my room and taped the picture to my dry erase board and wrote next to it DARREN CHRISTOPHER.

I whistled a tune to Tonight, and then sang the words.

Eventually, Thalia walked in and sat next to me on the floor.

"What's wrong, Nico?" she asked.

"Why would you think something was wrong?" I asked.

"I can tell. That picture wasn't there yesterday. Who is he?"

"He's- He's our child. I can tell." I whispered, coming to terms with the truth.

"How is he? How can you tell?" I could tell she was scared.

"I walked into a neighborhood today I didn't know. A little girl came up to me and asked me to sign a poster for her brother. She looked like you. I knew exactly when I walked away and turned back to see her house and it was gone. Look at the picture closely. Who does it look like?" she stood up and walked over to the white board.

"He look's like you." She told me. She rejoined me on the floor. "What does this mean?"

"It means we're going to have at least two kids together." I told her.

Her face was covered in shock. I took a sip of my water bottle that I had grabbed when I walked in.

"That wasn't what I expected." She said, breaking the silence.

"Exactly." I stretched the word out.

"I came in to say good night. Annabeth, Katie, and I have to go back to the hotel. See you tomorrow?" she asked me.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow. Hey wait!" I yelled after her.

"Yeah?" she turned around to look at me.

"One, Do you know if Percy and Annabeth are doing it? Or is it just me? And two, you almost left without this." I leaned down and kissed her.

"Night, Nico. And yes, they are. She told me." She ran away before I could say anything else.

"Connor, you owe me fifty bucks!" I yelled.

"They are? Wow, Percy has FINALLY gotten to second base!" he handed me the money he owed me.

"I wonder how he was in bed…" he mumbled, just loud enough for me to hear.

"You would want to know!" I told him and walked into my room, kicked off my shoes, and pulled off my jeans and shirt. I hopped onto my bed and fell asleep without sleeping pills for the first time in three months.
