Nicos POV
——————

When my lawyer called I was laying in bed with Will.

"Mr. Di Angelo?" The man- Charles- said.

"This is he."

"We may have a lead on your kidnapping."

"Go on."

"Well, his name is Joe. Joe is a known homophobic. He was arrested a few hours ago for beating a lesbian woman."

I suck in my breath.

"And?" I ask as Will holds me a little closer.

"He thinks homosexuals should die."

"So you think he kidnapped me, and attempted a murder? What about the fact that no part of me was hurt?"

"There were hard drugs in your system."

"So you think he was trying to make me OD?"

"Possibly, yes."

"Ok. Do you need me?"

"Only to sign a few papers, and maybe see if you can remember anything."

"Will do, sir. I'll be at your office in 30 minutes."

He hangs up on me and I explain everything to Will. We both get dressed — me in a pair of non-ripped jeans and a black shirt, Will in a pair of blue jeans and his yellow shirt. Before we walk in Will stops me. "Are you scared?"
"Fucking terrified." He winds his hand with mine, kisses my temple and we walk into the office as it starts to rain.

When we get out I'm ready to go back to bed.
'Signing a few papers' took 3 hours.
I collapse into the drivers seat. I look over at will who's already looking at me. "Are you ok?" He asks. "Not even a little bit." I say. Tears threaten to spill. I'm so angry and scared, more for Will than for me. I was kidnapped and left in a ditch and forced to take drugs. Will can't be out through that. And if I was targeted then Will must be next, right?
He wraps his arms around me.
But some selfish part of me needs him. Needs the relief he gives me. But I love him to much to let him get hurt too.
It's gonna break him. My mind whispers. He'll move on. Get somebody better than me. And that's gonna hurt like fucking hell. But I'll cope. Probably with a piece of glass or a knife. But I'll be ok. It will be different than losing Bianca. This time he'll be right down the road if not closer and he'll be hurting. I'll do it when we get home. Then I'll go home. And leave Will. Forever. I don't know. Will let's go and I drive us home.

"So will," I say causally. "This whole thing with the kidnapping has me terrified."
"I know baby." My throat constricts. How the hell does he make this so hard.
"For you. I need to keep you safe will. An- and maybe I'm putting you in danger."
"Your not."
"I am."
"Neeks-"
"Stop. Please, please will. Don't make this harder." One more second and I'm done for. I won't be able to leave.
"On who? You?! Me?! Who Nico?! I'm begging you to enlighten me." He demands. But behind his anger, is the hurt. I can deal with angry. But hurt. I can't deal with hurt.
"On me. On you. On us. William. Please. I- I love you. That's why I'm doing this."
"Are you my fucking mother now?!"
"What?"
"That's what my mother told me before she sent me away. Before I became a fucking drug addict and at four-fucking-teen. And that's what she used to tell me before she sent me to Adam to the the fucking shit beat out of me. I can't even look at you right now." He turns around going into his room. "Fuck!" He yells and I think he punched the wall. Then he opens the door and throws the portrait of him out, all of my clothes, my shoes. Everything. "Please go." He whispers. I try to avoid his eyes but they catch me. They've gone from azure to a scary hurt shade of blue that makes my heart throb. "Ok." And I do. I grab a backpack, stuff some clothes in it, and leave. I'm not sure where I'm going until I see central perk. My knees shake. Then before I know it I'm having a panic attack on the New York sidewalk. People just go around me. "Hey man are you ok?" I hear a girls voice say. Somebody kicks me. "Hey. Nico?!" I look up to see meg in my face. "Oh my gods." She helps me stand up and takes me into the coffee shop. She helps me into the back room and she try's to calm me down. When I can breath again she makes me a cup of black coffee. "Where are you going?"
"T-to Percy's house."
"Why? What's going on? Where's Will."
"I-I don't want to talk about it."
"Ok. That's ok. Where's Percy's house?"
"23, 43rd street." She nods and helps me up. Apparently Meg has a car. She takes me to the Jacksons. I knock on the door and Percy's little brother Tyson opens it. Tyson is about Megs age but towers above most people. He used to get teased dreadfully about his autism. He is a huge teddy bear, but sometimes he gets on my nerves. "Death boy?! Come in!" He practically shouts. Meg waves goodbye and leaves. Tyson welcomes me in but when Annabeth and Percy see me they freeze. "Are you ok?" Annabeth asks rushing to me. "Yeah you look like shit man." Says percy. "No," I say looking at Annabeth. "And thanks, I really feel the love." I say to Percy. He grins. "Ok Nico lets get you in some dry clothes." Annabeth says. She makes Percy get me clothes, even though they will be big on me. Then she pretty much forces me to take a hot shower. When I get out I smell cookies. As I sit on the couch with cookie, clean, in dry clothes I do feel a little bit better. Wills better without me. Now maybe he won't get hurt. "What's going on?" Annabeth asks. She sits down at my feet. "I-... broke up with Will." Perch gasps, dropping his blue cookie.
"Are you blind?! Did you not see or feel or whatever how good he was for you?!" He asks. "Percy! We don't know the full story! Sit down and listen." Annabeth scolds. I can here Tyson in his room.
"I freaked about the kidnapping. I want to keep him safe. So I broke up with him." Percy glares at me. "That's not gonna keep him safe Nico."
"I'm with Percy." Annabeth says.
"Yes, I know. He probably doesn't want to see me. He hates me." I say. Annabeth try's to talk but I cut her off. "Can I take a nap somewhere?" Annabeth shows me into a guest room. "Here ya go." She says. Then she hugs me tightly.
