I honestly feel like they're not in this story enough so another one:))

Hazel's POV

"Ohhh so this is a chicken nugget." I said, Nico and Frank beside me as I tried my first chicken nugget at a local McDonalds. It was more... bland than I expected but not that bad.

We sat in the restaurant for a while, talking and catching up since Nico was visiting Camp Jupiter for the summer. But after 1 hour, we decided to slip, Frank and I going to the park and Nico going to visit Jason and Piper to tell them the, "Big news" about him and Will. When he told me, I wasn't necessarily mad or anything he expected, I was happy for him. At my school in the 1940's (is it? I don't remember) there was a person who was like him and people teased him along with me. We became really good friends, but sadly he moved away due to the bullying. I honestly, tried to avoid him like other people at my school, but after getting to know him, I realized that they were normal and nothing that society had shaped them as.

We walked to the park, which was only half a mile away, holding hands. After spending more than a year in this time period, the new technological advances are finally settling in. To be honest, I expected there to be flying cars but, no. (Kinda salty about that ignore me)

Frank has gotten less awkward and started to show more of his amazing personality. We walked hand in hand towards the park, my head rested on his broad shoulders.

I thought back to the 1940's, when I was bullied, not for color, but for my curse. A curse that caused me happiness as a child. Sure, Sammy helped a great deal with that, but there was never enough to fulfill my needy child's heart.

My breath hitched as my eyes became teary. Frank looked at me and asked what was wrong.

"Nothing, just thinking about before I died."

Frank seemed to understand and stopped, hugging me. I smiled, hugging back, my arms around his neck. We pulled away slightly, and our lips touched.

I knew that he cared enough to fulfill every ounce of happiness I craved, and I was so grateful. He pulled me out of a hole so deep, I couldn't pull myself out, even if I used my curse underneath my feet.

"I love you." I heard him whisper, our foreheads touching.

"I love you too."

DUN. AM I RUINING THE MOOD? SORRY, I HAVE TO LEAVE IN 20 MINUTES BUT I REALIZED... HOLY CRAP 30 FREAKING K??? IM SO THANKFUL I THOUGHT THAT NO ONE WOULD READ IT. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH <3
