The Moosehead Tavern [1]

I spoke, "You-" I stopped talking after that. My voice cracking. "J-Just, go back downstairs. Hang out with Mitch." I said wiping my tears. I opened the door and lay down on my bed with my hand on my forehead.

Jace hesitates before leaving, hovering around the door. He decides against going back downstairs and walks back inside the room, finding Rayah on her bed.

"C-can you just tell me what's wrong?" He asks. "If it's Mitch and I... We do stuff like this all the time."

I looked at him. "I bet you do...It just makes me upset." I said sitting up. "Go downstairs." I said standing up and walking over to the window.

"Why does it make you upset?" Jace asks, refusing to leave until he knows whether he can help her or not.

"Jace, please, just go downstairs." I said looking angrily in the mirror. "But If you must know it's because...when it's about me I just, don't like it." He walked towards me and cups my chin, having me look up at him.

"We gotta be honest with each other, Ray." He whipers. "Please. Let me in. M-maybe I can help."

Spoiler

It's way past my bedtime so I'll be back in the morning.

Spoiler

Okayyy

I opened the door. "I know you can help. It's just I'm overwhelmed and confused. I feel bad for Mitch. He doesn't look at me that way. I'm too young for him anyway. Just please, if he looks at me that way then so what?" I said shrugging. "I bet there's gonna be times when girls look at you like that, I won't do anything. But if they make a move then It gets dirty." I said smiling. "I'm fine." I walked back downstairs and Mitch smiled, "Hey, you okay?" I smiled and nodded. I sat down next to him and he just kept his eyes on me. I glanced at him. "Rayah?" Mitch says my name and I turn to him. He looked at me in the eyes and he leaned in when I slapped him. "What are you doing?!" I asked angrily getting off the seat. He gets off his seat and holds his jaw, "I'm sorry I just couldn't help it." He said Holding his cheek. I slapped him again, "Now do you wanna kiss me? No, I didn't think so."

I took a seat away from Mitch, and sat next to Jace and I wraped my arms around him.

Jace ignores what Mitch tried to do, considering what Rayah did to him enough of a punishment. She wraps her arms around him and he smiles, looking back at her.

"Good one, bad ass." He whispers so only she can hear

I smiled back at him, "He deserved it." I laughed. Mitch sat down next to Jace. Jace glanced at him making sure he wasn't looking at me.

"Sorry." Mitch apologizes, his cheek still stinging from the slap. "I don't understand boundaries too well."

I nodded still alittle pissed off, "Fine, Just don't do it again." I smiled.

Mitch nods and orders another drink.

"So, how about we try this again?" He suggests. "Tell me about yourself."

"I'm daughter of aphrodite, Have five sisters, like the color blue, I'm 5'4" and um...I'm sixteen. That's mostly it." I smiled and took a sip of my drink.

Mitch nods.

"Interesting." He says. "Any chance you have a sister that looks like you?"

I shook my head, "I have a twin but she's all prissy," I said smiling. "And I have an older sister thats 18, and All the other ones are younger then 10."
