This is Love

Today started out normal. Little did I know it was gonna be one of the worst days of my life.

I had woken up, went to breakfast, and did some of Camp Half Bloods activities. At lunch, Piper looked like she was about to explode. She had a bunch of roses clutched in her hands and kept jumping up and down. I wondered what was going on. Around 2:00, I found myself in the Hades cabin.

I decided to take a walk around camp and find Will. First, I went to the infirmary.

"Where's Will?" I asked walking in.

"I don't know. He's on his break. Maybe check the archer's range?" A girl named Lauren shrugged. I thanked her and went off to the ranges. Will wasn't there either. I decided to walk around all the cabins to see if he was hanging out anywhere.

Just as I was about to give up, I turned the corner near the Hera cabin and there was Will. But, he wasn't alone. He was.... He was kissing a girl. No, not kissing. A full make out session. The girl was from the Aphrodite cabin. Their hands ran up and down each other's backs. I stood there, frozen. I felt like my heart was ripped out of my body and crushed. I didn't mean to, but I let out a distressed high pitched noise. I couldn't help it. Will immediately broke away from the girl. I noticed his eyes were bright pink.

"Nico!" Will said astonished. Before he could say anything else, I ran away. I could hear him yelling, but I kept running, never looking back and fighting my tears. I ran into the Hades cabin and slammed the door. I threw myself onto my bed and cried into my pillow. I didn't want to, but I couldn't stop. All my feelings poured out onto my unfortunate bed.

I should have known it was too good to be true!! I should have known nobody would ever love or except me! I tried to put Will out of my mind, but he kept coming back. I heard a knock on my door and was almost positive it was Will.

"GO AWAY WILL! I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" I angrily screamed.

"Nico, it's me," I heard Hazel say. She slowly pushed open the door and sat down next to me. "Oh, Nico, what happened?"

"Nothing Hazel, go away!" I snapped.

"Nico, please talk to me."

"I don't want to talk!"

"Nico! I want to help you!"

And then I spilled. I told Hazel everything. Her eyes glinted with sympathy.

"Nico, I'm so sorry," Hazel whispered once I finished.

"Yeah, well it's not like I ever thought I could find love,"

"Nico, that's not true-"

"YES IT IS!" I interrupted. Then I calmed down. "Hazel, just please leave."

"Fine, Nico," Hazel sighed. "But if you need me I will always be here to talk." She got up and walked out. Once I was sure she was gone I snuck out of the cabin and went to the weapon shed. I grabbed a small knife from a shelf and wrapped it in cloth. I brought the knife back to my cabin and layed it on my bed.

Should I do this? "Nico, he never cared about you!" I told myself. I sighed and picked up the knife. I slowly brought it down on my arm. I winced as cuts dug into my left arm. Some of them were a little deeper then I intended. Pain rushed through my body but I kept cutting. Soon enough, I heard a knock on the door.

"Nico? Do you want to come to dinner?" I heard Hazel ask.

"Shit!" I thought. I quickly wrapped up the knife and put it under my mattress. I grabbed a sweater and put it on, covering my cuts.

"Hazel, I'll come," I say. Throughout dinner, images of Will popped into my head. And that night, I cried myself to sleep.
