Chapter Text
POV: Nico
I woke up, got ready and went to school, like usual.
I had my earplugs in and i was listening to My Chemical Romance until the bus came and i went onto it still listening to my music. I sat down in my usual spot and looked out the window. Suddenly, shortly after i felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around taking one of my earplugs out. In front of me there was a blond boy, he had blue eyes, tan skin and a lot of freckles. He looked like the literal sun made him. He was just standing there smiling at me.
- Can i sit here?- he asked.
I just nodded back in response and took my bag.
- Sooo what's your name?- This guys liked questioning me i guess.
- Nico, Nico Di Angelo, why do you care.- i realised that i probobaly fucked up at a first impression to this guy but why did i care, i shouldn't. He looked a little hurt, but just shrugged it off.
- I'm Will Solace.- he smiled at me but i could still tell he was a bit hurt from the look in his eyes.
- sorry..- i mumbled out, obviously he didn't hear me.
- What did you say?- he asked.
- Sorry.- i said a little louder but not loud.
- wow and i thought you couldn't feel sorry.- he joked and laughed. I just sat there but eventually chuckled with him. We got to the school and we both left the bus but i quickly ran off and before he could catch me i already sped off. I didn't want that nightmare, Octavian, to see me. But obviously me being the idiotic peace of shit that i am i ran INTO him instead of AWAY from him. I just closed my eyes and felt him and his friends drag me into the toilet and throw me against the wall, wich made my eyes open wide and i hit my head really hard.
- Stop following me around. Huh, are you inlove with me or something?- Octavian laughed.
- You're the one who keeps stalking me like a psychopath!- I yelled, and immediately regretted those words. He pulled me up by my shirt and punched me, not once, not twice, a few times. I wish i was unconscious, i wish i was dead. I felt blood spilling out of my mouth and tears running down my face. I couldn't do anything.
- Remember that NO ONE in this school likes you and you're just a stupid faggot!- he yelled.
He started twisting my arm and i thought it would just break until somone ran in the toilet. It was Will.
Fuck. I didnt want him to see how weak i am. I can't even fight back. I just accept it.
- Hey Ni- He started and then realised what Octavian was doing and the blood pool and my mouth bleeding and everything.
- Awh found yourself a friend? Hm?- Octavian laughed at me and let go of my arm, wich, lucky for me, wasn't broken. - What's your name?- Octavian asked Will.
- Will. Will Solace.- he responded. What do i do. i don't want Will to go through the same nightmare as me.- what.. what are you doing to Nico..?- he asked.
- Well- Octavian started but i cut him off.
- ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS SO JUST FUCK OFF SOLACE!- I yelled out. It sounded harsh but.. i just didn't want him to get hurt. He obviously was hurt. By me. I'm so fucking stupid.
- Yeah, like the fag said, turn around and leave, unless you wanna join in? Eh you don't look like you'd be friends with Neeks over here.- I was terrified, what if Will wanted to fit in and would beat me up?!
- Maybe some other time..- he said and left. WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THAT?! I FUCKED UP FOR YELLING AT HIM. I HATE MYSELF.
All my thoughts were suddenly gone when i felt a hard kick in my stomach, Octavian was back to beating me up i guess.
- Hear that ?- he kneeled next to me. - maybe your 'friend' will join in.- I hated him. I hated octavian. I hated school. I hated myself.
I got another punch in the face and him and his friends left. I got up and looked in the mirror.
I looked like Aphrodite's worst nightmare (TSATS REFERENCE).
I looked like shit. I threw my bag on the floor and took some water into my mouth, spitting it out, and over and over until there wasn't a sign of blood. I also washed off the scar on my cheek and hoped that no one will notice the bruise on my other cheek.
I took my bag and left. My hair was a mess, and a peace of the end of my shirt was ripped, i was pale and had visable bags under my eyes.
I saw Octavian laughing and looking at me. I hated that bitch, i felt like he would hurt me every chance he got. Because he did. I started running down the hallway and ran into somone. Will.
- Nico..?- he said and touched the bruise on me face.
- What did they do to you..?- He asked. I looked at him. He looked at me.
- You shouldn't be talking to me, unless you want to live the same nightmare.- i said and walked off.
Will shouldn't like me. He should just fit in with the normal or popular crowd. He deserved to live a normal life and i knew that.

It was finally the end of school. But i felt something pull me to the side. Octavian. Another trip to the bathroom. Why can't I fight back? Why do i just let it happen? Why am I so stupid.? He shut the door and threw me against the same wall, but harder than before, i felt my head bleed out. Octavian looked more amused than ever. Why? I saw Will coming into the bathroom and walking towards me. No. This wasn't happening. It couldn't. I felt a big punch on my face. It was much harder than Octavians. What did that motherfucker do?! Or maybe it's my fault for telling Will to fuck off?! Atleast he isn't going through what i am going through. He dragged me up the wall, holding my neck and squeezing it. I lost breath, maybe I was going to die. I chocked, I chocked blood. I felt as if I was gonna faint in a few seconds. But he let me go. I fell onto the ground. I felt a few more kicks and punches until they all left. I got up. Looked at myself. I was a bloody mess. Litteraly. I started crying. I washed my face. And fainted.
POV: Will
I left the bathroom with Octavian and his friends. I felt stupid. I wanted to fit in. But I didn't want Nico to get THAT hurt..! I caught him walking out the bathroom with my eye. He looked like a bloody mess !!
- You don't feel bad do you.- I felt Octavian put a hand on my shoulder.
- N-no..- I sighed and quickly ran off to the bus stop.
I sat down next to Nico and took his hand. His eyes widened. What did I do?! I felt tears run down my face. He looked at me. Wiped my tears away.
- I'm sorry..- I said.
- Don't be, just fit in with Octavian.. I don't want anything happening to you.. I know you didn't want to hurt me that badly.. or hurt me at all.- He said.
- Nico...- I started. He smiled at me. Nico Di Angelo, smiled at me.
