(By the way, this is two days after the last chapter.)

I shut everyone out of my room. People tried to convince me to let them in, but I refused. I had locked the door and I wasn't letting anyone in.

"Nico, please let me in! I love you! I can help you!" Will would say.

"No. Just go away."

"Nico please-"

"No."

(A/N: Hahahahha Nico says no)

"Fine. But you have to let me in eventually." He said. Then I heard him walk away.

After being by myself for so long, I became more and more depressed. I felt like I needed to blame someone for what happened. I decided that someone was Will.

His father was ruling when they captured me. If I wouldn't have been captured, then maybe my mother wouldn't have gone into the woods. Maybe she wouldn't have been caught in the wildfire. It was all the royalty's fault. Which means it's Will's fault. I hated him.

I heard someone else approach the door. "Nico?"

"Go away, Will."

"I'm not Will. I'm Hazel. Please let me in. I need to give you something."

I reluctantly opened the door. I probably looked terrible. I knew I had bags under my eyes from lack of sleep and my hair was a mess from not doing anything with it.

"I'm really sorry about mom. As soon as I heard that you locked yourself in your room...." she shook her head. "Well, I wanted to give you these. Can I come in?"

"Yeah. Okay. Close the door behind you."

She sighed, but did what I told her to. We sat down on my bed. Then she showed me a stack of pictures, a box covered in wrapping paper, and a card. I gasped quietly.

"She bought you a present as a welcome-back gift. She put together a card, too. Before I came, I got as many pictures of her as I could. Also...." she paused. "I was recording you seeing them for the first time since you were, like, five. I have the recording with me. It has their faces, if you want it."

"Oh my gods, Hazel I can't thank you enough." I hugged her tightly and we cried into eachothers' shoulders. I knew she probably wanted the pictures, too, so it meant even more that she would give them to me. She set a video camera on top of the gifts.

"I'm sorry, Nico. That you had to go through all this." Hazel said when we finally pulled away.

I gave her a sad smile. "Yeah. There's not much we can do about it, now, though."

"Yeah. I guess not. Do you want to open your gift?"

"Not right now. I want to open it when I feel better."

She nodded. "Okay. I should probably go. Dad doesn't know I left."

"Okay. I love you." I gave her one last goodbye hug.

She was about to leave, but she stopped in the doorway, "But Nico?"

"Yeah?"

"I think you should talk to Will."

I sighed. She left, then, and I closed and locked the door again. I wasn't going to talk to Will. It was his fault that my mom had died. I'm never going to forgive him. Ever.

--------Wpov-----

Nico won't talk to me. He won't even open the door to let me in. I think he's mad at me. I think he thinks it's my fault that his mother died. It kills me. I saw Hazel leave his room. Nico closed the door behind her.

"Nico?" I asked as I knocked on the door. Nico didn't answer.

"Nico? Please let me in." I felt tears threaten to spill. "Please."

"No, Will."

"I-I love you, Nico. I-I can't live without you. I'm sorry for what my father did, taking you from you family. I'm really sorry. Please let me in."

I heard shuffling and the lock click. He opened the door. This was the first time that I got to actually see him since the wolves. He looked like he hadn't gotten much sleep.

"It's your  fault. It's your fault she's dead." He had tears in his eyes. I guess we both felt like crying.

"Nico, please! I can help you!"

"You won't understand! The only person that would understand is Hazel and Bianca, and Bianca is gone forever!"

"I do understand, though! Just listen to me!"

"No! Your father took me! Maybe if I had been with my mom, she wouldn't have gotten into the whole mess with the wildfires." Tears slipped down his cheeks.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't want him to! I'm so, so sorry, Nico!"

"Goodbye." He started to shut the door and I saw my chance to actually help him slipping away.

"Wait!" I put my hand in the doorway. He wouldn't hurt me. He's been through too much hurt to possibly want to hurt another person.

"Will, move your hand."

"No." I said, stepping into the doorway. "I need to talk with you."

"Will, get out. I don't want to talk."

"I don't care, you need to talk. I can help you. You just have to let me."

He just looked at me with his big, chocalate eyes until he finally said, "No. You can't help."

"Yes I can. Please, listen to me. Please." I stepped I little farther into the room.

He looked like he was having a war with himself. "Fine."

I sat on his bed and he sat next to me. "Have you ever wondered why my mom isn't around?" I asked. I went straight to the point, not wanting to make him want me to leave again, because I don't think I would've been able to take it.

He looked shocked, "I didn't even notice..."

"She died, just like yours. She was sailing to another kingdom across the seas. There was a storm a-and-"

Tears fell down my cheeks. Nico wiped them away.

"And she didn't make it?" He asked quietly. I nodded, unable to speak.

"And my sister. Her name was Kayla. She had a desease when she was about to become queen."

"I'm so sorry. I-I should've noticed it was only you and your dad. I shouldn't have locked you out. I'm so, so sorry, Will!"

I hugged him. Maybe he'll forgive me now....

"Do....do you forgive me then? About....my dad taking you?" I looked at him hopefully.

Please say yes!

Nico was obviously having another war in his head, whether to forgive me or not.

Please, please, please!

"Fine."

I felt like flying.

He forgave me!

--- auther's note----
I would've felt bad if Nico didn't forgive Will. But I also had a plan wither way.
