"He....." Suddenly a loud thump was heard upstairs, we directed our attention toward the stairs before glancing at each other with looks of worry. We got up and rushed towards the stairs.

Naomi knocked fiercely but no response, "Apollo, go get the spare key." He nodded and did as he was told, he came back with a key and gave it to Naomi who unlocked the door. When we entered we saw Will laying on the floor motionless, Naomi went closer to him and checked his pulse.

"He's alive, but his pulse is weak. We have to get him to the hospital fast, I can't do this on my own." Apollo went toward Will and picked him up, we dashed out of the door, but Apollo wasn't looking where he was going 'cause Will's head hit the door frame as he was getting out.

"APOLLO!! Be careful, you could have hurt him." Naomi said lightly slapping his arm. Besides that, we got into the car and drove off at high speed.

Now I would have thought that we broke the speed limit but I knew better. In 3mins we were at the hospital, Naomi checked in and took Will into a room while telling us to wait outside.

That's what we did.

It took about 15mins before Naomi came back out, she looked relieved so I took that as good news, "He was fine, he was just dehydrated and starved. But it seems he has a portion of his memory lost after the hit on the head." She said glaring at Apollo who looked anywhere but at her.

"Can we see him?" Skylar asked, took the words right out of my mouth. Naomi smiled and nodded, "But he's still unconscious so be careful."

She stepped aside and let us enter, we saw Will hooked up to a drip, don't know why but whatever. I sat on a chair beside him while Apollo, Naomi, and Skylar stood. I took his hand into mine and squeezed it gently.

This felt weird because of all those things that had been happening between us, never once did I hold his hand. I was nervous. After a few minutes, Will began to mumble incoherently. His lips were trembling slightly as he was trying his very best to remain awake, he suddenly opened his eyes startling me.

He tried to sit up but failed a few times, so I helped him. He looked around before he spoke. He looked at me in confusion, that's when I realized the Naomi said that he lot a portion of his memory.

Oh no what if he doesn't remember me?

What now?

Did I just lose my friend?

What if-

"Neeks?" I stared back at him with teary eyes and pulled him into a hug. He remembers me. That's all that matters. But that didn't stop the tears from falling out of my eyes. And I don't know how long that lasted, but when it ended he looked at me and gave me an adorable smile.

He wipped my tears before looking at his family, "What happened?" He asks. They all glanced at each other before looking about at him, "You were starved after not eating the whole day."

He looked slightly confused as to why he was starved but didn't question it. "Okay now follow up question.....Why the helm does my cheek hurt so much." He said grazing his finger over his cheek. We let out light giggles at his usual Willy self, I've never been so happy to see him act so dramatic.

"It's just the after effects of the medicine I gave you." Naomi came up with a lie, I could see she wanted to let every thing go back to normal. He nodded to what she said before letting out a yawn."Now if you would excuse I'd like some sleep." He said shooing us away.

He ajusting his position before closing his eyes, w decided it was the best thing to do after what he had been through even though he didn't know. They left first before me, I made sure that no one was there before planting a short and soft kiss on his forehead.

If I didn't know better, I would have sworn I saw his lips twitch.

I went out and saw Naomi an Apollo talking a distance away, while Skylar was by the window to the room. When she saw me, she wriggled her eyebrows at me, "So Will huh?"

I felt heat in my face and lightly hit her arm, "oOoOO Will and Nico Sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G". After that she made kissy noises. I was about to tell her off but Naomi and Apollo came over.

"We will be able to discharge Will when he wakes up, so for now do you wanna wait here or what?" Skylar and I both said we'd wait so we did.

It took about 24mins for him to wake up and let me tell you something, drowsy Will is the most attractive thing ever, but that's not the point, he's awake so that means I we can get out of here. Hospitals just creep me out.

We got him checked out and soon we were on the road, with Skylar dozing off Apollo on his phone, Naomi driving and Will and I talking in soft whispers. When we reached thier home, I decided it was time I parted ways.

I bid them goodbye after their many attempts on driving or taking me home of which I refused. I waved at them and walked around the corner, when I was Infront of my house I saw Octavian walking down the street, I ran inside and locked the door after, great what am I gonna do about Octavian tommorow?

Then it came to me, I grabbed my phone and dialed a number, after a few rings the phone was answered. "Hello?" A gruff voice was heard from the other line.

"Hey dad."

"Yes Nico, what do you want I'm busy."

"Well you know how I haven't asked you for anything in my entire life."

"....Your point?"

"Can I ask a favor of you." There was silence indicating me to continue. "Well there is this guy at school...."

"What's his name?"

"....Octavian Sir."

"Oooo I've heard of him, isn't he that kid that gave you a bloody nose last time?"

"Yes, well I was wondering if you could get him transferedbor something l." I squeezed my eyes shut as silence took over, I heard a light chuckle.

"Consider I done, anything else?"

I shook my head before realizing he couldn't see me, "No."

"Okay then, talk to you later Nico, and remember call if you need anything, just not on Saturdays, they are my me time." After that he hung up. What? did you expect a father who neglects his son pfft, heck no. If anything I'm his favorite, he just scares me is all.

After making myself dinner I went to bed and tried to get some rest since school starts early.

And I have a feeling I'm gonna love school tomorrow....to some extent at least.

Before I could drift of to sleep, there was a knock at my window, I got up slowly with fear embedded in my bones. It's probably a twig hitting the window, but I was curious. I went closer and opened the curtain quickly, I screeched at the face at my window.

I tried to relax thinking my window was locked, but then it clicked, I left the window unlocked. He lifted the window which opened easily. He climbed inside and landed with a soft thud. I Scrabbled for the door but I was pulled back by my hair.

I let out a yell before he clasped his hand over my mouth, I heard barking downstairs...Mrs O'Leary came to the rescue. But she's a dog how could she open the door, plus Hazel is at a sleepover so she's not here.

Mrs O'Leary was scratching at the door but nothing, she ran back downstairs and my heart dropped.

3rd Person

Mrs O'Leary ran to the front door and through the doggy door, she ran through the streets until she reached a blue house, she scratched at the door while howling and barking. Soon Will came out to see the commotion,he smiled at the sight of Mrs O'Leary, he reached down to pet her head.

She started barking non stop before pulling at his pajama leg. "What's wrong girl?" He asked worried, she ran off suddenly and he took that as a sign to follow her.

When they reached Nico's home Mrs O'Leary jumped on the mat before going through the doggy door. He looked under the mat and there was a spare key. He took it and opened the door, he was worried as to why she brought him here.

Was Nico in trouble?

Thoughts like these went through this head, without realizing he zoned out, so Mrs O'Leary tugged on his pant leg again before dashing towards Nico's room. He followed her and stopped right out side the door.

Nico's P.O.V

I saw shadows through the crack under the door, then a knock. "Hey, Neeks are you okay?" I have never been so happy to hear that nickname in my entire life.
