"You raised your voice." I said not looking at him.

"What?" Jace says, taking her hand. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Just...next time just hit me or something. I-I don't want to do it anymore."

I shake my head, still not looking at him. "I'm not gonna hit you." I said yanking out of his touch and continued walking.

Jace chases her down again. "Rayah. Please. Don't shut me out."

I looked down. "I just need some time to think." I said running towards the door to walk into the hotel again.

Jace hesitates a moment before following, sitting on the couch of the room and giving her space. He looks down and runs a hand through his hair, eyes closing.

I sit on the side of the bed and look at my phone- people from school texting me about where I am and what happened. I didn't text them back, not wanting to give anything away. I look over at Jace, "Hey."

Jace opens his eyes and looks up at Rayah, flashing a smile. "Yeah?"

I look at him, "People are texting me asking me where I am...Should I respond?" I asked looking down at my phone again.

Jace shrugs. "I wouldn't say the location...but it's up to you."

I smiled, "Im not responding." I threw my phone on the other side of the bed an lay down closing my eyes.

Jace watches her lay down and wonders if her smile was an invitation to close the gap.

I nod at him allowing him to come closer, my eyes still closed.

Jace walks over, smiling, and lays beside her. He kisses the side of her face and wraps his arms around her.

I smile and pull the covers over me, freezing.
