Los Angeles

Rayah

I kiss him quickly and smile, playing around with his hair.

Jace

I smile and kiss her back just as quickly. Then I start becoming less aware of what's going on around me. I slip deep into my mind and analyze what I had seen without wanting to. The car, the cracks on the windshield, the weather, the contents of the car, Jackie's condition...

Has to at least be two months from now. There's no way Jackie could be like that any sooner. If it comes that soon, I mean. It could be a few years in the making. Although... none of us looked any different.

Except me. The shard of glass. Was I there, or was I just watching this time? Was someone else in the car beside Rayah?

Spoiler

What if a freak thing happened and Jackie and Nic got drunk that one night, and they slept together but didn't remember? Then that'd make sense with Jackie being pregnant. XD

Rayah

I study him, "Tell me what you saw, babe. I'm kind of scared for you."

Spoiler

Like before this or would we have it happen? 'Cause, I mean, they've only known each other one night.
OH! THAT'S WHAT COULD HAPPEN! Jackie could go to the hotel to apologize (or make him, tell him their still friends, etc... whatever) and then he'd be dousing himself in liquor and ask her to go ahead and drown her sorrows as well, and then *tah dah*

Jace

I snap out of it and focus on Rayah for a second, not understanding her question at first. Nodding slowly, I wet my lips and take a deep breath.

"Just a car accident, I think," I say before getting into the details.

Spoiler

Yes! Okay. Lets just play Jackie and Ray then.

Jackie

Something clicks in my mind and I grab my keys. Everything I've ever wanted is Nic, and all I'm doing is making myself even more depressed. I get in my car and start driving, my eyes wondering to the hotel he's staying at. I make my way up to his room, remembering Jace bring it up. I knock on the door, taking a deep breath.

Spoiler

Ight.

Nic

Someone knocks on the door, and I set down the bottle of liquor on the coffee table. Running a hand through my hair, I stand and walk to the door.

"Jace, I don't care what you say about me drinking, I'm doing it anyway," I say before I realize that it's not my brother. "Oh, Jackie."

I hiccup and hesitate before taking a step back.

"Uh, come in, I guess," I say. "Drink?"

Jackie

I nod but don't say anything as I sit down, "We're still friends, right?" He pours me some whiskey and I down it, blinking a couple times as he sits down next to me.

Nic

I down another shot before looking at her. Are we? I didn't think about that. Do I want to still have her around, even if I can't have anything more than friendship? Or do I want to try and live on my own?

"Sure," I say. "If that's what you want."

Jackie

I nod and my head starts to spin after my fourth drink, me closing my eyes. I chuckle, biting my lip.

Nic

I smile and watch her, my own world spinning. After I finish off the bottle, I lean forward and pull her into a kiss. My eyes close, and I set a hand on the side of her face. Far in the back of my mind, something tells me not to; but I don't listen to it.

Jackie

He kisses me and my mind completely blanks before fuzzing and telling me this is a bad idea. But my drunk self dismisses the thought and I kiss him back, hard. I set a hand on the side of his face as well and don't know what to do with my legs, chuckling.

Nic

I smile and chuckle back. Wrapping an arm around her, I pull her closer and taste the liquor on her lips and breath. That just makes me forget about how horrible an idea of it is, and I deepen the kiss. She seems mutual in this, though, so I let my emotions take control.

Jackie

I move on his lap and move off his lips, kissing down his neck as my mind fuzzes again. I start thinking of random things, like Hal unicorns have horns, and chuckle once more. I smile and just keep my face in his neck, laughing at nothing.

Nic

I chuckle back at her and wrap my arms tighter around her, wondering what she's laughing at. Instead of asking, I laugh with and move to kiss down her neck as well. My mind just blanks, and I stop being so aware of what I'm doing.

Jackie

I calm myself and smile at him, eyes barely open as he kisses down my neck, I lie down and look at the ceiling, eyes blurring and my mind still fuzzy but not blank.
