I walked into Camp Half Blood, hoping to see all my friends and boyfriend, Will. Will Solace. That name gave my life a new meaning, something to live for. I couldn't wait to see him again. He kept me going while I was on my quest for my dad.
I had to travel to Australia because of stubborn souls that didn't want to leave Earth and go to the Underworld. It was about two months and I have been waiting to see Camp again.
As I walked down the hill, the atmosphere felt different somehow. It was more depressed and slightly less noisy and exciting. People were giving me pitiful looks which confused me alot. I walk to my cabin to unpack my stuff. Where's Will? I think. He's probably on a shift in the infirmary. I unpack my things and walk to the infirmary to go see Will. Again, as I made my way, more pitiful looks. I carried on walking, trying to ignore the stares.
I walked in, greeting everyone. Lemon scent flowed around the room, making everything smell fresh. It smells just like him I think. A small smile played on my lips, a gentle look of playfulness in my eyes.
My hand slipped into my pocket where I had put Will's gift. It was a small coin that I bought in a souvenir shop in Australia. It had a skull on one side and a sun on the other side. It reminded me of us, so I bought it as a present for Will.
I strolled by and waved at some Apollo campers and carried on looking for Will. "My significant annoyance! Where are you?," I said getting inpatient. Campers in the infirmary gave me pitiful  looks again. I saw Kayla walking by and asked her where Will was. She looked like she was about to cry and brought me into an empty room.
"Kayla? What's going on? Is something wrong? Why are you crying? Where's Will?," I said, a little bit panicked. She tried to muffle her sob and took my hands in hers. She looked into my eyes, her eyes which were bright and happy were now sad and lost. I noticed bags under her eyes. "Nico. . .," she croaked out. Sadness surrounded her and she was slightly shaking. "Kayla. . . Please tell me what's wrong? Where's Will?," I said, panicking more. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes, seeing her like this. Kayla was like a sister to me. She was the first Apollo camper to find out and supported us. I told her about how I was going to propose to Will after I came back from this quest.
"H-H-He d-died, Nico," she said, sobbing into her hands. I couldn't believe what she was saying. I didn't want to believe it. " N-No! That's impossible!," I said as tears streaked down my cheeks,"He can't be dead! I need him, Kayla! No! This is some sort of joke! He's going to pop out any second now. . .  Haha Will, this isn't funny," I said, but I knew her words were true. The pitiful looks, sad and gloomy atmosphere. I cried, and buried my head in her shoulder. I said his name over and over, praying he would come back or hoping that saying his name would give me sanity. I don't know how long, I sat there, my face in her shoulder with her rubbing my back, trying to calm me down. "Who will help me now? How can I live without my sunshine?," I said through sobs.
I felt another hand on my shoulder and looked up to see the Seven. Hazel engulfed me into a hug and cried more than I ever have before. "How could he leave me? I was going to propose," I said, calming down. "It's going to get better Nico," said Percy. "No its not! Don't tell me it's going to get better without my Sunshine," I shouted at him as tears streamed down my face. I ran out of the infirmary, almost blinded by the tears. I ran into my cabin and shut my door, locking it. I walked to were my clothes were kept and opened the drawers.
There lying next to mine, was all of Will's favourite T-shirts. I sobbed more and more. I took out one of his shirts and smelt it. Lemon scent,like the infirmary and strawberry, like his soap. I took of my shirt and put on his. His oversized, Pride Tshirt hung loosely on my small figure. I slid down the wall next to the drawers and brought my knees to my chest and sat like that, singing the same song over and over. . .
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But now you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

"Why did you take my Sunshine away. . ."
