Mount Olympus

Rayah

I speed off again, turning the radio on. An ADELE song plays and I sigh, keeping it low and keeping the hood up.

Jace

A somewhat depressing song comes on and I take a deep breath, looking at Rayah as I slip my iPod out.

"Can I hook this up to the stereo?" I ask.

Rayah

I nod, flashing a smile, and drive past the lake again, realizing it's already 10:00 at night.

Jace

I flash a smile and hook it up, finding a not so depressing song to listen to. I settle on Hurts Like Heaven by Coldplay and leave it at that, sighing and sitting back.

Rayah

He puts on Coldplay and I sing along to it, smiling as we pull into the naborhood.

Jace

She sings along to it and I smile, jumping in on the song with a pretend accent like the lead singer's.

Rayah

I pull into his driveway and turn the car off. "Can I spend the night at you're place? Jesse is having a party at mine with college kids."

Jace

I disconnect the iPod, still singing to the song, and nod, hopping out of the car. I come around to her side, and offer my hand.

Rayah

I take his hand as we walk inside, and I plop donw on the couch while flashing a smile.

Jace

I slip my iPod away and jump over the couch, sitting at Rayah's feet.

"Do you need anything?" I ask, "And...do you want to stay out here? I can kick Nic out of my room and make him sleep on the couch if you want to actually lay in a bed."

Rayah

I shrug. "Doesn't matter," I reply, yawning.

Jace

I sigh and nod, heading into my room. Nic is already sleeping, sprawled out - thankfully fully clothed - underneath the blanket. I shake my head at him and change, slipping my shoes off. Once done, I head back out to Rayah and grab a blanket to put around us as we sleep.

Rayah

I flash a smile at Jace and pat the spot next to me. "I love you."

Jace

I smile and lay next to her, throwing the blanket over us and turning out the light, "Love you too, Ray."

Rayah

I nod and close my eyes, yawning.
