Mount Olympus [4]

Jackie

I nod and look down, "People think I'm a geek, so I've never really...had a boyfriend before. So...your the first."

Nic

I tighten my grip on her and kiss her cheek, "You're not a geek. Not to me. You're incredibly smart and I love that, even if it makes me feel stupid sometimes. But... Jace did that a lot too, so I'm pretty okay with feeling stupid... Wait, back to what I was saying though..."

Jackie

I smile, "But everyone else thinks I am. Like, Ray can do splits, has a freaking five pack, has the most beautiful eyes in the whole intire world, and I'm just a girl, with dull brown eyes, short, and can do algebra..."

Nic

I kiss her cheek again and smile, "You're not just a girl, with dull brown eyes, and can do algebra. You're my girl. My beautiful girl with the skills to mentally crush someone and with eyes that show her soul."

Jackie

I shake my head, "But compared to Rayah..."

Nic

I sigh and make her look at me, "Don't compare yourself to anyone, Jacks. You're perfect to me. That Rayah chick is mean and.. hurts people..."

Jackie

I raise an eyebrow, "When you first saw her at lunch, you wouldn't stop looking at her.."

Nic

I flash a smile, "'Cause Jace told me he liked her the day before and she honestly scared the living sh*t out of me. I couldn't believe she was who he was hooked on. Him, the one who literally tried to kill me for making him late for first period the week before."

Jackie

I chuckle and look at him, "She's really nice once you get to know her. But whatever you do...don't get her mad, or don't yell at her. She'll either attempt to hurt you, or will get emotional and cry for three days straight..." I shudder, "The last person that did that was never seen again," I joke.

Nic

I swallow, "I'll keep that in mind. Probably should warn Jace though..." He would be the type of person who mysteriously disappeared after an argument with his girlfriend, only to be found at the bottom of the ocean. My eyes widen at my thoughts and I look down at the ocean floor, blinking a few times. I should really stop thinking up the many different ways my brother could die...

Jackie

I nod slowly, "Yeah...But, she's amazingly in love with him, so she won't hurt him. If anything happens to Jace...god only knows what she'll do..." I shudder.

Nic

I look back at her, "That's...somewhat comforting."

Jackie

I raise an eyebrow, "The last time something happened to someone Rayah loved, she attempted to kill herself and I had to knock some sense into her. So..."

Nic

I clear my throat, "I was talking about the Jace not being killed part... But would mind sharing this story?"

Jackie

I shrug and sigh, "Um...Rayah first fell in love with someone when she was thirteen. I forgot his name. He was in the war, his first year, and...he didn't make it all the at through. And so...When Ray found out, we couldn't find her for three days. We finally found her by the lake, and she had gashes on her wrists, and...she broke her ankle... And she had a knife but was just thinking about it. She almost..almost did it before I came, and I had to convice her that there are others out there that care about her and that this isn't the end. That she'll find someone else."
