Mount Olympus

Jace

She laughs as it starts raining and I shake my head at her, smiling.

Rayah

I have the feeling in my stomach and cover my mouth. "Jace, put me down," I try to say without doubling over right on him.

Jace

I swear and crouch, setting her on the ground. I keep an arm around her stomach while holding her hair back with my free hand.

"Just relax," I whisper, "Deep breaths."

Rayah

I double over, coughing, and my headache returns. Everything goes blurry and I don't know what's happening, setting a hand on my forehead.

Jace

Something happens and I take Rayah's head in my hands, pulling her into me.

"Calm down, Ray. Deep breaths," I worry, "Breathe."

Rayah

I realize it's still raining and I cross my arms over my stomach, shivering. "I-I want to go home."

Jace

I nod and scoop her back up, setting my jacket around her as I walk. We soon get to her house and I hurry up to her room, covering her up in her bed.

Rayah

I shiver, reaching for a towel. I get one off the side of my bed and dry my hair, setting a hand on my stomach in the process to hopefully settle it.

Jace

I sit on the edge of the bed, watching her.

Rayah

I hand Jace the towel when I'm done, for him to dry himself off, and take my head in my hands. "Ugh. I feel like crap."

Jace

I dry off and throw the towel in the laundry bin, kissing the top of her head once I'm done, "Lie down. You need to rest. Your body isn't used to all of this yet."

Rayah

I shake my head, "I'm not tired, Jay."

Jace

I sigh and sit down again, "Okay, what do you want to do then?"

Rayah

I sigh and shrug. "Swimming?"

Jace

I flash a smile and sigh, "Swimming it is then."
