Wow. Some of you probably thought I discontinued this.

I should really update more instead of making new books.
But speaking of new books....

I PUBLISHED A NEW BOOK!

It's called Stealing Your Heart and you should go read it because I'm needy and am self-advertising.

Okay, read on.

Npov (gods there's so much Nico's POV in this book I should really fix that)

I forgot what the view looked like and was trying to remember when Mrs. Morning came into my room.

"Nico, someone is here to see you."

"Who?"

"The blonde... what was his name again?"

"Will."

"Oh, right. Will. He's here."

"Okay."

I put my sketchbook away and headed downstairs. Will was waiting by the doorway, smiling at me. He seemed extra happy today.

"Hey, Will."

"Hi! Have you drawn anything yet?"

I winced."I forgot what it looked like."

"Well, we could go there again tonight. To see it again."

I smiled. "Yeah. That sounds nice."

"Okay. Let's head to the park first, though."

"Alright."

He took my hand and we walked to the park. "You seem extra happy today."

"Yeah. My mom figured out I've got a boyfriend."

"...and?"

"She was fine with it."

I relaxed. "That's good."

"Mhmm."

"Hey! Where are you going?" Octavian called. I could feel his glare on my back. I looked over and found that he must've been following us.

Schist.

"To the park."

"And why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"

"I didn't think about it."

"You're coming back with me. Besides, Ms. Morning needs to speak with you."

That doesn't sound good.

"Couldn't she just call Will?"

"The phone's dead."

I frowned. "I'll go back later."

"Fine, but only because I have friends waiting for me. Be back by eight."

"Alright."

Will took my hand and led me to the park. We sat at our usual bench. 

"He's controlling your life, Nico." Will said, his fists clenched.

I sighed. "Yeah. I know. But I don't know how to stop it."

"Stand up to him."

"Let me rephrase that: I don't know how to stop it without getting hurt."

"I could help you! And Percy and Annabeth- they could help too! We could take him."

I bit my lip. "I don't know Will..."

"Think about it alright? I don't want you getting hurt anymore."

"Alright. I'll think about it."

"Good." He said. "I wonder where Octavian's going."

"I dont know. The fair maybe?"

"Maybe. What do you think Ms. Morning has to talk to you about?"

I shrugged. "Maybe I'm being adopted." I winced. "Hopefully it's someone who lived close to here."

"Yeah."

We sat there for awhile in silence.

What would my new parent be like? Stern?

Schist what if they're homophobic?!

I had to calm myself down. If they were homophobic, I wouldn't tell them I'm gay. If they're accepting, then I'll tell them. I don't have to come out right away.

"Do you want to head over to the fair? It'll be here for today and tomorrow."

Again, a very short chapter but it's here so who really cares? It was beginning to feel forced so I stopped writing it. Now I've got to go start updating something else.
