Hi! I'm really proud of this chapter. Katie really seemed to like it. So here you go! It's short but it's also pretty cute, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!

"Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly..." Nico was not having the best of days. Nothing particularly horrible was happening, but he just felt shitty. He felt like his shoes were full of water, and his head was pounding with anxiety ridden thoughts of mortality, the afterlife, and the likeliness of getting in a car accident, which were not very healthy to think about while trapped in a bus with 7 other people. He listened as Will played his ukulele and sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow. His voice was cool and smooth, and it calmed Nico's anxious mind a bit. Nico had his knees to his chest, and his chin on his knees. His eyes were closed as he listened. Will was sat on the bottom bunk on the girl side, with his sister and friend on either side of him. Hazel and Jason sat on the floor at the ends of Nico's bunk, listening.

"Can't I...?" Will sang the last note. Everyone clapped, and Will jokingly bowed. Nico clapped politely and laid down, facing the wall. His phone buzzed. He looked down at it, a text from Bianca.

"I'm homeeeee" She'd said. The text was accompanied by a pictures of her and their dad, both with tears in their eyes.

"Great" Nico messaged back.

"So how are things on the Chrion-Mobile?"

"Fine" Nico lied. "We'll be home soon"

"Miss you."

"Miss you too. I've gotta go bye"

"Bye"

"You ok, Nico?" Nico rolled over and his eyes met his sister's.

"I'm fine." He said. "I've just got a lot on my mind." She nodded and squeezed his wrist reassuringly. Nico faked a smile and turned to stare at the bottom of the bunk above him. His mind swam with thoughts of worthlessness and inadequacy. What was the point of living if we're all dying? Why not just drive the bus into a tree?

"We're going to be passing a rest stop soon. We don't need gas, but if anyone needs to use the bathroom or purchase anything, we can stop."

"Please! I am starving!" Lou shouted.

"Alright..." Chrion muttered. They drove down the road, Nico's thoughts swishing through his brain and swaying with the moving bus.

"We're here!" Will shouted, Jason darted out of the room, obviously dying to go to the bathroom.

"You comin'?" Hazel asked Nico.

"Nah. I'm alright." Nico said, sitting up.

"Ok, you want anything?" Hazel asked.

"Oreos and a drink?" Nico asked hopefully. Hazel laughed.

"Sure. By the way, I borrowed your laptop. I left it on my bed." She said before exiting the bus with everyone else.

"Ok thanks." Nico called. He stood up and walked over to her bed, opening his laptop and beginning to type in his password.

"Are you alright?" Nico looked up and brown eyes met blue.

"I'm fine." Nico said, looking back at his laptop screen.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm fine!" Nico snapped, his voice louder than he originally intended.

"Fine! You don't need to be an ass."

"A what?" Nico ask, setting his laptop down and shooting up.

"An ass!"

"You were being annoying." Nico shouted.

"Well sorry that I showed concern for your wellbeing!" Will shouted back.

"Since when have you given a shit about me?" Nico spat. Will looked like he'd been punched in the stomach.

"Excuse me?"

"You've hated me since we were in middle school! Why would you start caring now?!" Nico yelled. "You've hated me for so long that I don't even remember why!"

"Oh you fucking know!" Will gritted his teeth. He was seething. It scared Nico a bit to see him so honestly fuming, but he stood his ground. "You brought everything on yourself!"

"Oh yeah? How?"

"You are so fucking arrogant!" Will spat. "You were always too good for anyone else. You and your rich friends were all too perfect for us commoners!"

"Is that what you think, I thought of you?"

"It's what I think you still think of me. I think that no matter how hard I try to convince myself you've grown up, you're still that childish jackass that made me feel so fucking worthless for years." Will said.

"You think I'm the issue here?" Nico asked incredulously. "You've made me feel so ridiculously shitty for years!"

"How? By existing?" Will sneered

"No you fucking dickhead! I have been in a state of complete confusion and anger and hopelessness, because of you. You ruined my life. Will FUCKING Solace! You ruined my life because I am so hopelessly in-"
