Nico's P.O.V

I was walking through the woods to the pond, with Percy. Percy was still my crush after the war with Gaea, but I know I didn't have a chance with Annabeth dating him. As we walked we were talking about random stuff, like things around camp and rumors going around because of the Aphrodite cabin.

15 minute time skip

We finally came to the pond about 15 minutes later. We sat down and stared out into the water, and that's when he said it. "I wish Annabeth was still here, she would love this. Don't you think so Nico?" Two words, I. Snapped. "You know what?" I stood up and started walking away from the pond, and Percy.

I was about half way through the woods and pretty close to my cabin when Percy ran up behind me, and grabbed me by my shoulder and turned me around.

"What was that all about? I thought we were having a good time, I thought we were having fun. Weren't you having fun with me?"

I looked away from him, for I didn't want to look him in the face. That's when I said it,

"You know Percy, I was having a good time with you by just hanging out and talking to you. But then you said the one thing that you know ticks me off the most. That's why I got up and left. Do you understand now Percy?!"

I most likely yelled and I hadn't noticed I was yelling until I stopped. And let me tell you something, I regretted it the minute I stopped.

"You know Nico, I like you. I really do, but for some reason. Every time I talk to you I say something wrong, and you leave. I didn't mean to say anything to offend you, but I'm not perfect! Maybe if you would stop and think about how I feel when you leave, then maybe you'll notice that you hurt me every time you do! Sometimes…. Sometimes…. I just… Sometimes I just hate you, you stupid, ignorant, cutting freak!"

I knew that at that moment….. I broke. I looked at him, then I looked down because I didn't want to see his face. The one person who I trusted the most, and had a crush. He just broke me. I looked at him once more, and then I did the one thing that I could do… I ran.
