#15 Leaving a disaster
So this is back when Nico and Percy are young, but you know, not so young (around 15), before Red Sky At Night
Nico's POV
This is it, I'm finally moving away for good. Ever since Bianca left this place it haven't been home. So when Percy asked if I wanted to live with him I almost tackled him to the ground. We did it for different reasons though, normal couples would ask each other if they wanted to move in because of love, Percy does love me but he invited me because he find yet another bruise on my arm.
This time it had actually been my fault, I was the one who had started the fight with dad and I know that he gets very aggressive when things doesn't go his way. I had once again been out for a walk, dreaded for going back home so when I finally did I had missed to make dinner and father started to argue what a useless son I was. I told him that school went over and that I had homework, talking back gave you a slap, protesting against that gave you a punch and if you still talked back then you got a kick and was sent to your room. It had only gone to the punch but Percy still saw it when he cuddled with me.
I finished packing my bag, and just like when we moved in here I was the one who had less shit to move around. I just had my bag of clothes, a box of books, movies and some photos, and then my box with memories. That box didn't count since it was a small wooden storage box, it was for jewelry but I stashed photos, letters and some baby clothing in it. Around the box was a leather bag, a way of protection. The box itself was really small so I could have packed it down with the books and movies but it didn't feel right to just pack it down like that.
"Boy!" Hades screamed but didn't continue since he locked himself up in the bathroom. I hoped he would stay there.
I carried out the boxes and the bag, he didn't knew I was moving it would just end in more fights and more bruises for my part. That would lead to Percy telling his mother, which made her worry in vain. If it got even worse it would involve the police and I can't go through court against my own father, no matter how much I hated him.
"Boy!" Hades screamed again this time stepping out of the bathroom in a drunken haze and with hiccups.
I had left the things outside of our apartment and told Percy to pick it up before getting me for a "date". He would understand that I didn't tell dad.
"What is it sir?" I asked trying not to look suspicious.
"Have you hid my alcohol again?" a quick slap to my cheek, it was a warning.
"N-no, they should be in the kitchen." I tried acting like I didn't know about his secret stash in the bathroom; he thought he was so clever to use the cabinet that was supposed to store towels and that kind of stuff in it. Well jokes on him cause I had "accidently" poured out his vodka that he had had there. I know I shouldn't have, Bianca would always argue that I shouldn't do it, but I was tired of always seeing my father a drunken mess. We had seen the same things; we had lost the same person. He should handle this better since he was the adult one, but here I am, sixteen and behaving way better.
"They aren't in the kitchen." Hades sneered he probably hadn't even looked in the kitchen.
I opened my mouth to say something but at the same time there was a knock on the door. "Who's that?" Hades asked pushing me forward to open the door.
When I opened the door, Percy was there, smiling and I could see him trying his best not to rush up to me and kiss me. After all, my father was against any type of relationship that I could have, he said that they would manipulate me to move away from him. And it was true I was going to move, not because Percy had manipulated me but because my father was a piece of shit.
"Hello Mr. di Angelo I'm here to get Nico, he has a meeting with his art teacher." I wanted to applaud him, for being a kelp head he could have really bright moments.
"And why would she send you?" Hades spat.
"Because I was the only one left in school, sir." Percy said.
I started to move to the door but was cut of by my father. He held on tight to my arm and sort of twisted it, my arm flared up in pain but I tried not to shout out.
"My son is not leaving with you."
"He doesn't have to, I can leave if he just promise to go and see Mrs. Ecklestone."
"Then leave." Hades was so focused on the boy by the door that he couldn't see Nico when he shook his head in Percy's direction. A silent plead for my boyfriend not to leave.
"Wait dad, there is such a long walk to my school, I could get a free ride if I go with Percy, I promise to be back." I spoke up; Hades twisted my arm further with a devil's grin on his lips.
Percy took a step forward, Hades pulled down on my arm and twisted it so you could hear a bone snap and I fell screaming to the floor only held up by the broken arm that was in a death grip by my father.
"You are not leaving me for him." Hades said dangerously letting go of my arm but moved so that he stood on my hand, the hand that was attached to my good arm. "He is not worthy my son, I won't let any fag drag away my son."
"Nico are you okay?" Percy asked worriedly sending death glares to my father. He totally ignored the gay insult.
Hades leaned on his right foot making my of my fingers snap and I whined, tears streaming down my cheeks. Then he stepped of and went up to Percy.
They were almost the same height, they both hade black hair but Percy's was beautiful and messy while my father had that dark oily kind that hanged in damped strands.
"You do not teach me how to treat my son, or punish him. Is that understood?"
"Yes sir, but I do think that you should take him to a hospital."
Hades just laughed then punched Percy. The punch was so hard that Percy hit the wall behind him before slumping to the ground. He would have a black eye tomorrow.
Then Hades went back to me, hoisted me up by my bad arm and then stared into my eyes. "Are you leaving me for this bastard?"
"No, please, father." I pleaded, tears streaming down and falling onto my father hand.
He took a chokehold on me and slammed me into the wall. "You wouldn't dare leave me. You love me just like I love you."
He stroked my cheek and then let go of me kicking me in the stomach. And just like that my father disappeared into the bathroom and left Percy and me alone and bruised in the hallway.
I stood up and went to Percy, helping him up. He kissed my cheek and whispered that I never had to come here again. After all, my father didn't know that Percy was my boyfriend and nor did he know were Percy lived.
"You okay?" I asked as I slipped into the car.
"Yeah, now let's get you to the hospital. I don't understand how he could treat you like that, you are his only son." Percy was enraged.
"He's drunk."
"He's a piece of shit." Percy said and took the fastest way to the hospital.
"I know." I wanted to just sit there and cry for the rest of the way. My arm was throbbing like crazy and I couldn't move my fingers correctly. The finger that broke on my other hand was turning purple.
Percy's POV
Sitting in the waiting room of a busy hospital with ice on your eye wasn't how I thought this day would end. It had gone smoothly, me coming and packing the car and then when I was going to get Nico this happened. I hadn't even been able to protect him, all I wanted was to punch his father and take him away from there but all I had done was stand there and watch how Hades broke Nico's left arm and a finger on his right hand.
"Sir? Have you got help?" the nurse asking me was maybe four years older then me and had blond hair. "I'm Will Solace, I'm normally in the mother department but they needed help here and I was free."
"Mother department?" I asked stupidly.
"Nursing mothers-to-be, helping those who already are mothers and helping teenage girls prevent pregnancy. I am told that I have magic fingers, so don't worry."
"Well I'm taken care of." I said lifting up the ice bag but quickly returned it.
"What happened do we need to call the police?" Will asked.
"No, there is no need for the police. It was just a street fight and my boyfriend got it worse, the doctors took him away to help him with a broken arm and broken fingers."
"I'm sorry to hear that, well I need to go through the waiting room and ask if anyone need help, if there is anything just call or go to the reception."
"Will do." I nodded and smiled. I just wanted to have Nico back; they had been gone a long time now.
Maybe Hades did more than just break Nico's arm, maybe they can't re-attach it and they have to chop it of, leaving Nico with a fake arm.
Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and I saw Nico, his arm in a cast and his finger was in bandages.
"You okay?" I asked getting up and kissing him softly.
"Yeah, let's just go home."
He sounded so tired and his voice was raspy from all the screaming. I wondered if he traumatized some kid while getting that cast.
"I didn't, but one of the nurses started crying because she felt so sorry for inflicting pain when she moved my arm."
"I'm sorry for her."
"Me too." Nico chuckled tiredly.
"Now let's end this madness and go home and sleep, thank god that it's Friday right?" I laughed and put my arm around his shoulders.
"Yeah TGIF." He said and placed his arm around my waist, the arm with the broken finger of course, would be very hard other wise.
