Demigods at Goode

Chapter Twenty

Nico's POV

Outraged
Utterly outraged.

From the moment Leo left the room I knew something was wrong.
And darn was I right.

I didn't really exactly want Amber to go back home because of what Leo told me.

So I MAY have thrown a pan at her head?

I feel guilty, but I don't want her to face that wicked mom.
And dad.

Frank's POV

I was put in charge of watching Amber in case anything happened.

She and Nico seem a lot like each other.
Almost like a couple.

Which freaks me out because I know that Nico's gay.

Amber twitched and I looked at her intensely.
She's passed out for a few hours.

I heard laughing from downstairs.
How can they be laughing at a time like this?

She started twitching more and she groaned in pain.

"Guys! Somethings happening!"
I yelled out at them and they all got to the room. You'd be surprised by how big the room still looked with all of us in it.

We all started talking to each other's.

"What's happening?"
"I think's she's waking up."
"She looks like crap."
"Why'd you even do that Nico?"

"Guys! Shhh."
"You might wake her."
"Sh!"
"Geez."

Amber's POV

"Shh! You'll wake her up!"
"Stop!"
"Guys!"
"I think she's waking up."
"Duh Leo."
"Sorry."
I pried open my eyes and covered them with my hand.
WAY to bright

"Ughh."

"You okay Amber?"

I opened my eyes again waiting a while to adjust to the light.

"What happened?"
I groaned rubbing my head.

"Nico threw a frying pan at you."

Suddenly remembered.
Oh, this is bad. I'm late and Mom's mad.

I tried to get up. "-I have to go."
Clarisse pushed me back.
"Sorry. Hun. You're staying here."

Most of them left the room but some stayed.

"Nico? Why did you?"

Nico sighed.
"Leo told me about the conversation. Your dad is obviously an alcohol addict.
And your mom is not a great mom."

"I'm adopted." I stated for the first time.

He nodded. "Well I've got to go and IM Will. He's probably waiting."

He skipped to the bathroom.
"Hey Percy?"
"Yeah Amzie?"
"Woah. Okay where'd Amzie come from?"

He shrugged. "What about Ambs Ambs?"

I laughed. "Yeah. No."

"Okay. Ambzella. So what's the question."

I shook my head smiling.
"Who's Will?"

"That would be Nico's Boyfriend."

Woah.
"Nico's Gay?"

"Yeah. Hard to believe huh?"

"I guess? I don't know. He doesn't look like the gay kind of guy.."
I pushed my hair into a ponytail.

"What's Will like?"

He grinned. "Oh You wouldn't believe it if I told you."

"What? Yes I will."
I said poking him.

"Will's like a sunshine."

I burst out laughing. But it faded.
"Tell me your kidding."

"No seriously!-And the better part he works in an infirmary and he's like a blonde and all tall and stuff."

"No way..."

"Way way.."

I smiled. "Okay then. So then I'm staying here I'm guessing. Because I probably don't have a choice otherwise?"

Annabeth nodded.
"Like you would have never known...."
