Mount Olympus

Rayah

I nod. "...It's not my fault," I look down at my stomach. "I was hungry," I sigh. I keep yanking out grass and lean back again, taking a deep breath.

Jace

"I know, Ray," I say.

I sigh before moving to her side and taking her hand.

"But that's not what's on your mind...is it?"

Rayah

I glance up at him and let him take my hand. "What do you mean?"

Jace

I look her in the eyes, "What are you thinking about? You seem...caught up in it. Food doesn't just do that to people."

Rayah

"I-I'm thinking about a million things at the same time. I can't even explain it," I whispered, sighing.

Jace

I sigh and wrap my arm around her shoulders, leaning her against me instead of the stone, "Can I help with any of it? I don't like seeing you like this..."

Rayah

I shrug, "Probrably not..." I say softly. "I just can't think straight. So much is happening, it's stressing me," I tell him.

Jace

"Then relax..." I say, "We could go for a swim or something. Whatever you think will help."

Rayah

I sigh. "That's the problem. I can't relax. That's another thing that's stressing me. It's not fair..." I take my face in my hands.

Jace

I think before pulling her against me and setting her head in my neck, "Close your eyes."

Rayah

I study him before doing what he says, huffing a sigh.

Jace

I flash a smile, "No matter what happens, do not open your eyes, okay?"

Rayah

I sigh and nod. "Yeah okay, but if you ditch me then I am going to beat you're a*s," I chuckle.

Jace

I laugh and nod, "I know, Ray. I'm not leaving you. Just keep those eyes closed and stay still."

Rayah

I nod and do as he says, taking a deep breath.
