Mount Olympus [2]

Rayah

I text Jackie of what I did and get to Becca's house. Putting the car in park but not getting out just yet. Just...come back tommarow and trade him out with Riley. It'll be alright. It's just like those...divorce thingies... I shudder at that word and jump out, bringing Lo in my arms.

Jackie

Just as I'm about to answer, Rayah texts me. F*ck.

I swallow at it and sit down next to him, "She uh...left," I say, running a hand through my hair, "Not so sure now."

Jace

I take a deep breath and watch Riley head back out to the living room. So much for lunch...

````````````````
Nic

I think for a moment before slipping out my phone and bringing up a message to Jace, stopping and putting it away before I do anything, "I know it's not going to help, us getting involved, but I'm going to go talk to Jace. Did she take the kids?"

That'd kill him. That's for sure.

Rayah

I walk into her house, Becca hugging me and flashing a smile at Lo, and I look at her, "Thanks, sis."

She smiles, "Anytime, can I see my nephew?" she reaches for Logan.

I nod and hand him over, walking upstairs to unpack my stuff.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I nod, "Logan. She took Logan," I reply, frowning, "I already talked to Rayah. I'll stay with Halee."

Jace

I stand and walk into the living room to watch her, curling up in myself.

``````````````
Nic

I shake my head and stand, kissing her forehead, "I'll be back later then."

Rayah

I unpack my stuff and sigh, keeping my doubts out of myself. You are doing the right thing. You-You'll be fine without him for a couple days. Pretend you're on vacation...without him.

I take a deep breath and walk back downstairs, shaking my head.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I nod, watching him leave before following him downstairs to check on Halee.

Jace

Riley starts playing with her brother's toy truck when the doorbell rings. I hesitate before getting up, not even the slightest bit curious as to who it is. Nic stands there, sympathy masking his expression.

"Don't even..." I shake my head and try to shut the door on him.

```````````````
Nic

Alyx poofs in on the other side of the door and opens it for me again. He takes Riley and carries her and her truck into the playroom, leaving Jace and I alone.

"What happened?" I ask, sitting on the couch beside him, "Jacks told me Rayah left."

Rayah

Becca gets me some Coffee and sits beside me, "A-Are you alright?"

I nod, looking at the floor and thanking her, "Yeah, i'm fine.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

Halee tries to get into my purse and I shake my head at her, bringing her to the couch.

Spoiler

Gonna just play Nic. Jace is depressing...

Nic

He tells me what happened, from start to finish, and buries his face in his knees once he's done. I don't speak for a moment, just watching him.

"You..." I shake my head, "You're okay, right? You'll get through this. You know that, right? You two will be all lovey and cuddly like before in no time."

A sob catches in his throat and I curse myself mentally. Right...forgot he's the sensitive one. Alyx is the optimist.

Spoiler

Lol. Okay then.

Rayah

I sigh, remembering how I had my magazines that have me modeling in it delivered to our house and facepalm myself. Well. I guess he'll see them... They said it was suppost to be there sometime today. I stand, walking to the kitchen, and open the fridge.

Jackie

Halee turns the T.V on by herself and puts both hands to it by herself, giggling.

Nic

I set a hand on his shoulder and try to console him the best I can, hating this part of having to be supportive. The doorbell rings and I leave him on the couch, walking towards it and finding a delivery man outside with a stack of magazines. Rayah's on the cover.

Um...well, I'm going to burn these now. Jace would kill himself if he saw them.

Rayah

Becca tells me about getting engaged and I flash a smile, looking down at my ring, "Congrats."

"Yeah! And guess what!" She wraps her arms around her stomach.

I look up at her, "No way in hell," I smile.

"Yeah, that's right! I'm pregnant!" She laughs. I nod, laughing, and hug her again.

"That's great..."
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

Halee walks upstairs and I hesitate before following. She walks into me and Nic's room and I smile, watching her. She climbs onto the bed, playing with pillows.

Nic

I head back inside, looking to hide the magazines from Jace, but he stops me and takes them. Before I know what's happening, the whole stack is drowned in blue light. Alyx stands at the top of the stairs, his eyes wide with fear. Jace drops the stack as they burn.

"What the hell were those?" he looks at me.

"Nothing important," I say, wondering what Alyx saw.

Rayah

I get a call from the Police station...saying something about...finding all my jewelry with some guy. Swallowing, I tell Becca to babysit Logan, and jump in the car, driving to the police station. As I do, a car hits the back of mine and it pushes me foward a little, the airbag going off straight in my face. I scream, scared as hell, and stop the car, my forehead hitting the steering wheel when it stops.

Well. That hurt...

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I sigh, getting a text from Rayah saying she needs help...and I know I can't do anything. I bring Halee and make my way to Jace's knocking on the door a mile a minute, "Hurry! Open up, Nic!"

Nic

I hurry to the door and take Halee from Jackie, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Rayah

Blood dropping from my forehead, I cough a little bit, my arm cut. I can't move!

I hear the police and people start crowding the accident. The door is jammed and glass is stuck in my leg. Oh god. This isn't good.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jackie

I try to talk as fast as possible, "Rayah. She-She's in an accident. Some car hit hers...she's hurt."
