I managed to fall asleep for about an hour then woke up again. I couldn't stop thinking of how much of a bitch I had been to Percy. I didn't mean to be rude, I was just saying that we never had anything to talk about so there was no point. I felt bad because I did think there was something there, but I didn't know if I wanted something to be there.
I decided I needed to go talk to him in order to sleep anytime soon. On my way over the Poseidon Cabin I kept thinking about how my dad and Aphrodite were making me feel like this and then I got a little angry. Why was MY dad making MY life harder? I got to Percy's door and my heart instantly started beating faster and I stood outside for a good five minutes before knocking. I waited another minute before knocking again. Percy finally came to the door.
Percy wiped his face "Oh my gods, what do you want?" Percy asks with his door cracked.
"Can I come in, it's cold." I tried to keep my tone mellow. Percy stared at me for a second longer than needed, then looked outside to make sure no one was out there.
"Yeah sure, come on" He said, letting out a sigh.
I stepped inside and looked around. It was still clean from yesterday. "So what do you want?" Percy asked again. He went to sit on his bed, I stayed standing.
I cleared my throat "I wanted to apologize for not listening…. and for being a bitch."
"Hmm"
"What?" I was started to think I said something wrong
"Nothing, Its just I was trying to have serious conversation with you and you couldn't even listen," he finally said after what felt like an eternity.
"I just said I was sorry?" I spat back with my voice slightly raised.
"That's not the point, Sinclair, why couldn't you just listen then?" Percy said louder than this time.
I was taken aback when he said that. But he had a point: why didn't listen the first time? I was really bad at this whole 'love thing' for being a child of a love god. I stood there in silence like I was waiting for the answer to just magically come to me.
"You know what, you can just go please," Percy motioned towards the door.
I felt without saying anything else. I was sure if I tried I burst into tears and Percy would never let me live that down. Also I shouldn't even be the one crying, Percy was probably way more hurt than I was. I didn't deserve to cry. I went back to the eros cabin and packed my backpack, I actually planned to leave this time. I knew I was at risk if I left but I don't think I could handle being around Percy any longer.
"What are you doing?" I heard a voice coming from the corner of my room.
"Go away Nico" I said still stuffing things in my bag
"Yeah no, It's 2:00 in the morning, you're packing a bag and just left percy's cabin so you're gonna talk to me, like right now." Nico walked up to me and took my bag.
"Give me my stuff!" I yelled at him.
"Sit down and talk to me!" He yelled back
I was getting angry. Why did Nico alway have to show up and stop me from making stupid decisions? Like I am grateful for him because he was the first true friend I had at camp, but sometimes you just have to stand back and let people learn.
"You know, I can just charm speak you right now," I said.
"You know I could kill you just by touching your hand right?" Nico argued back.
"Excuse me?" I heard my voice crack
"You heard me, now sit" Nico pointed to my bed with his stygian iron sword.
I sat down even though I didn't want to. But my not wanting to die far outweighed my not wanting to sit. After I sat down very reluctantly on the edge of my bed Nico thanked me and told me to tell him what happened, he stayed standing. I told him about me and Percy's conversion that I didn't listen to. Then the little argument followed. Then about how I tried to apologize to him and the mini argument that also followed that. Shockingly he didn't look very surprised about the things that I was telling him. I found that very strange because if I were him I would be shocked but then again this boy could make a zombie army serve him if he really wanted to.
"Hmm, anything else?" Nico said
"Oh, and me and him made out a couple times" I finally finished.
"Wait before or after the kiss yall shared like a week ago?" Nico asked. I was still kinda creeped out that he knew about that. Did percy tell him or something?
"After, but how do you know about that?" I was really starting to wonder how he found out certain things. Wait, could he turn invisible like me?
"Oh" Nico actually sounded a little confused for once. "This might just be because I'm from the forties but if yall arent together then why are yall kissing each other?" Nico said with a genuinely confused look on his face. And did he just say was from the forties? I was gonna address that later.
"I don't know, I think it was like one sided but it wasn't at the same time you know what I mean?" I was hoping he did even though I doubted it.
Long story short he didn't and gave me the bag back. He also gave me a bag of ambrosia and a flask of nectar. I asked him for a hug and to my surprise he actually gave me one. Nico walked me to the border of camp. I was just before sunrise, no one was awake yet but there was the quiet chirping of birds in the distance.
"Don't get killed out there Sinclair, because I will make sure you get sent to the fields of punishment, understand? Nico said in a very stern voice.
"Whatever you say Di Angelo, and I might be back who knows" I yelled back at him while running down half-blood hill. And with that I ran back into the woods with my backpack and bow I came here with.
