Wills pov

Wow.

I couldn't believe it! Nico and I graduated with out a quest interfering in our lives.

Yes we had a couple run in with some monsters, once a month usually, but that was expected when a Demigod is living in the mortal world, especially when one is them are a child of the big three.

But we did it. We survived 3 years of bullies, homework and school in general.

Nico and I walked out of the school, hand in hand peacefully when all of a sudden two girls, one with brown hair and the other with black, jumped on our backs.

"WE GRADUATED!!" Sarah screamed into Nico's ear and he grimaced.

"Yes, it was great until I lost my hearing," he said and rubbed his ear.

"Oh, sorry," she snickered and slid off his back but Amber held on tightly.

"are you comfortable?" I laughed, adjusting so that she wouldn't fall off.

"Well obviously, I'm still here aren't I?" She replied. Now that we were all really good friends she was way less shy and had a lot more attitude. I adjusted her once again and we kept walking over to where Sarah's mom was waving us over.

Her mom, Lindsay, was really nice and loved all of us. She was also extremely chill and was the one that always invited us over for dinner.

"YOU GRADUATED!" She exclaimed with the same enthusiasm as Sarah. She brought us all into a gigantic group hug and started crying.

"My babies are all grown up!" She wailed causing a bunch of people to stare.

"Mom, geez," Sarah said when she broke the hug, rolling her eyes.

"I'm cool, I'm cool, don't worry," she said, wiping her eyes.

"Sure you are," she sighed and turned to the rest of us, "I cannot wait for Jayden's party tonight!" She exclaimed. Jayden, aka mr. Popular, invited the whole grade to his mansion to an after prom party tonight, obviously, after prom. Jayden was nice, a lot nicer than Aiden. We've gone to a lot of his parties, most containing alcohol, which we have never had.

"Yeah same!" I exclaimed

"It should be fun," Nico said shrugging and Amber nodded vigorously, somehow still on my back.

"Well the girls have to go with me to ambers parents to get ready for prom, are you sure you guys are going to be ok?" Lindsay asked

"Yup, we'll be fine, we'll see you soon. We will be the ones outside your house in a limo," Nico smirked

"YOU RENTED A LIMO!" Sarah exclaimed and started jumping up and down with Amber who was squealing.

"Yup, now we have to go get ready as well, see you," we waved and headed to the sidewalk that headed in the direction of our apartment.

We passed places from our past, Cody's old school, the alley I fixed him in and the pole I ran into to get a bloody nose.

We walked into our home and into our room where we flopped onto our wonderful bed.

Nico exhaled heavily and faced me.

"We graduated," he breathed.

"Yes, sunshine, we did," I smiled widely and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Ok let's get up and get ready!" I exclaimed happily and went off to the other shower which was in the hall. Nico got the one in the room and I got this one. We made a deal.

I showered under boiling hot water, washing away any dirt and grime from the day.

I hopped out, and dried off, wrapping my towel around my waist. I applied deodorant and then took out the hair dryer and blew it dry so it was fluffy.

I then went back to my room and laughed, noticing that Nico was still in the shower.

I changed into my black and white tux and readied the corsage. I then quickly sprayed myself with my cologne and hurried out of the room to the kitchen to wait for him.

He took a lot longer than I thought was possible so I ate an apple but when I heard the door shut and my name being called, I wiped my face and through the apple out.

I walked over to him with my hands behind my back.

"What are you holding?" He asked and tried to grab it but I grabbed his wrist with my other hand and spun him. He was caught off guard and fell but I caught him and brought the corsage out in front of him.

"Will you go to prom with me?" I asked and he pushed up off of me.

"No sorry I'm going with Aiden," he joked and I smiled as I put the corsage on his tux.

"I love you," I said.

"I love you too," He replied.

We walked out of our apartment and to the limo, which we scrounged to make sure no monsters were present before hopping inside.

We arrived at Sarah's house where we saw Amber and her boyfriend James getting photos taken by both her parents and Sarah's mom and Sarah with her friend Holly, who had bright red hair. They weren't dating but were going together non the less.

Amber was wearing a long, sleeveless pink dress and silver heels with natural makeup. Sarah had a light and dark blue dress which was short in the front and long in the back with silver heels and smoky eyeshadow.

"You guys look great!" I called from the window and Sarah and Amber looked over and waved.

"You're here!" Sarah exclaimed and took off her heels to run over. She through the door beside me open and hugged us before eyeing the driver

"He's not a-"

"Nope, we checked and we are all good," I said. We ended up telling Sarah and Amber after a year when we figured out Amber could see through the mist and saw us get attacked.

"You guys are the best!" Amber exclaimed running over as well. She looked at the driver and nodded before jumping at us.

Everyone filed in the car after Lindsay insisted taking a picture of me and Nico and then a group picture.

We arranged ourselves in the car easily.

The seat was on the side of the car so it was really long and had a mini fridge and cup holders.

James was on one end beside Amber who was beside Nico. I was beside Nico on his other side and Sarah was beside me who was beside holly who was on the other end.

We drove up to the place the prom was being held and we filed out as fast as we could.

The prom was good. Lots of music Nico didn't really like but we danced the whole time if we weren't eating or socializing (which was often, Im glad to say we had a lot of friends) but everyone was anticipating the party which was immediately after prom.

When the time came we went back to our limo and drove to the party.

Nico and I both left our jackets in the limo and headed into the 4 story house. People have already filled up the first floor and music was shaking the house it was so loud.

Sarah and Amber disappeared in the crowd somewhere so we were all alone.

We went around socializing and yelling over the music.

At some point someone had shoved beers into mine and Nico's hands which I put down somewhere but Nico drank it. Plus 4 more. So he was really drunk.

"Willlllll I want t' go over here," he grabbed my shirt sleeve and dragged me to the kitchen where people were doing shots.

"Nico I don't think you should drink anymore,"

"Yes I should,"

"Nico-"

"Shotttttssss!" He yelled while leaving me and taking a shot of tequila from the table and downing it in less than 3 seconds.

"Nico, do you really need another-" he downed another

"Ok Nico let's go outside,"

"Fine," he whined and took another beer before coming with me outside to the pool and pool house.

"Hey guys do you want to go swimming?" Jayden yelled from the pool with a bunch of other guys.

"Waters not really my type," Nico giggled, "but ok! Oh wait I didn't bring a bathing suit..." He tapped his chin

"I have a bunch in the pool house!" Jayden yelled and Nico bounded off there with me trailing behind him.

He closed the bathroom door that was in the pool house and came out in a blue bathing suit.

"Im readyyyy!" He yelled and ran out and jumped into the pool. Then I remembered he couldn't swim very well.

"Crap!" I muttered when he seemed to have trouble getting to the surface so I pulled off my shirt and shoes and dove into the pool beside him and grabbed him, pulling him up with me.

"Are you ok?" I asked as he sprouted water out of his mouth like a fountain,

"Yup! Thanks baby," he said and kissed me lightly. No one has noticed what just happened except Aiden.

He walked up angrily, still in his tux.

"I need to talk to both of you, now." He demanded and I looked at Nico who shrugged with a drunk smile on his face.

"Ok," I got out and helped Nico out. Aiden led us to an empty room on the third floor.

"What do you want Aiden?" I asked irritably

"Ya, Aaaaaiideeenn," Nico drawled

"I know what you guys are," he stated and I looked confused

"What?" I asked, still dripping wet.

"You're- you're demigods," he said

"Guilty as charged," Nico laughed putting his hands in the air

"I don't know what you're talking about," I tried playing cool.

"Demi gods. I've seen things in the past years with you two. Nico randomly disappearing at McDonald's, Nico's weird sketch book, you somehow healing that kid and then the kid disappearing. And when that guy attacked you at your lockers and you randomly pulled weapons out of you're locker, you- you can't lie to me," he said

"We are completely normal-" I was cut off by the sound of Amber screaming. Then there were 3 sets of footsteps, one heavier than the others.

Amber and Sarah burst into the room and shut the door, Amber with tears in her eyes,

"Will, Nico, m-mons-" she was cut off when the door was kicked down and it hit Sarah, hitting her to the ground.

"Sarah!" Se screamed as she dragged her out of the way.

A large laistrygonian stepped in over the door.

"Oh geez" I muttered and pulled a celestial bronze knife from my thigh seethe and held it out so it could see it.

Amber was sobbing over Sarah's unconscious body and Aiden was frozen at the other side of the room.

"Nico," I said slowly, "nico get your knife out,"

"K" was all he said. He moved beside me and we charged. There were multiple slashes and stabs happening as we fought.

Nico fell over when it swatted at him so I gathered up my strength and charged.

I stabbed it in the chest and it exploded into gold dust, all over me.

"Ow, my butt," Nico whined from the floor

"Is everyone ok?" I asked and remembered Sarah.

"Will- will she b-be ok?" Amber stuttered and I nodded.

"She should be, though I can't give her ambrosia or nectar so she might be in a bit of pain,"

I placed my hands on her and sensed a small concussion so I healed as much as I could and when I finished I realized the room was lit up in golden light.

"Give her Advil when she wakes up," I said and she nodded

"Hey why are you all wet?"

"It's a long story-"

"Ok you can't deny that you are a Demi God- what? What is it?" Aiden asked angrily as I stared at him. There was a extremely dull red light over Aidens head with a little ares sign on it, telling us that Aiden wasn't ares son but he was ares relative at least. Maybe one of his parents or grandparents father was ares but he still had godly blood in him. Oh gods why him. Why not Sarah or Amber, or even Jayden!

"What are you staring at?!" He yelled again

"Well,um, have you met every single one of your grandparents?" I asked slowly

"No, my moms dad died when she was little why?"

"Does your mom have a weird stash of odd weapons?"

"Ya she's a hunter, so what?!"

"Well your mom, I think, is a demigod, daughter of ares," I stated

"No that's not possible why do you think-" he looked up to where I was staring and yelped, trying to wave the sign away.

"What was that?" He yelled hysterically

"The sign that you are a relative of ares. You should probably talk to your mom about this," I said and he left the room.

"W-what did I miss, why are you all wet?" Sarah asked, sitting up from ambers lap and rubbing her head.

"Oh you know the usual. A monster attack and Aiden realizing he's a relative of ares," I shrugged and her eyes widened

"Really! Oh geez now he might go to that camp with you!"

"We won't be there much but it would suck when we visit," I said lifting Nico into my arms because he fell asleep on the floor.

"That sucks, are you leaving?" She asked while taking a Advil from Amber and dry swallowing it.

"Ya, sorry guys but Nico had a little too much to drink tonight,"

"We understand and Amber doesn't drink so she can drive us or something,"

"Ok see you soon!"

"You too!" We sort of hugged and left the room together.

I plopped Nico onto the bed which he jumped off of immediately to run to the bathroom where he threw up.

"I hate drinking!" He complained as I walked in and sat beside him, rubbing his back.

"Well you drank a lot for your first time soooo," I drawled and he glared up at me before throwing up again.

We sat there for 10 minutes until we thought he was good.

I made him brush his teeth before bringing him to bed.

"Gods, it's 4:00 in the morning," Nico said and went closer to me. He was freezing.

"Ya," I replied and he looked up at me

"Thank you for taking care of me," he said

"Always,"

"I love you,"

"I love you too," and with that we shared a small kiss before drifting off to sleep beside each other.

This is officially done.
