The Moosehead Tavern [1]

"I missed you too." Jace says, drawing some of her hair behind her ears. "At least you're here."

I looked into his eyes, I haven't seen them for what seemed like forever. I touched the side of his face. "Have you been sleeping?"

Jace flashes a smile and reddens a little.

"It's been pretty hard to." He says. "But I got a few hours."

"Good." I sat down. "Shit, I'm so freaking exausted." I motioned over the bartender. "3 Shots of whatever will wake me up." He nodded and passed me three shots of something yellowish. I took them all in a few seconds and closed my eyes. "Ah..."

"So Jace, How's life?" I asked laughing.

Jace sits beside Rayah and finishes his whiskey, which he'd gotten pretty used to.

"It's been pretty boring without you." He says.

Okay.

I smiled. "For me, the first thing my mom did when I git there was make me Go to the underworld, then she made me fight Hades, then he almost killed me, then he gave up." I laughed,

"Jace I love you." I said looking up at him.

He smiled and wraps his arms around me again, squeezing me. "Uh , J-Jace..." I said studdering.

"Oh sorry." He let go and laughed.

"Jace can I tell you something?" I asked looking down in guilt.

Jace studies Rayah after her question.

"You can tell me anything." He says.

"Um, well this is kinda funny buy you know Katie? The one that came in a couple days ago?" I smiled. "She likes you," I said looking at him.

Jace isn't sure what to say to that, looking at his drink before speaking.

"Why?"

"I don't know, she just said that she loves you and she thinks your hot and everything." I said looking down at the floor. "Something like that. I didn't know what to say after so I just walked away. Do you like her?" I asked looking back at him.

"She can't love me; we just met." He says. "And don't worry about it, Rayah. I'm not into her type. I like someone who can kick my ass every so often."

I smiled, "Yeah." I hugged him. "I missed you soo much." I let go. "Have you been here the whole time?" I asked.

"I missed you too." Jace says. "I went to check on Nic for a day or so. I didn't know what to do here."

"How is he?" I asked taking a drink, "Is he okay?" I leaned back and crossed my arms.

Jace shrugs. "He's thinking about Sam again, which means he's bound to do something stupid soon, but he's kind of been like that for a while now."
