Jace sets Jasmine aside and stands, walking over. "Weren't you ever taught to not hit girls?"

He chuckles and I step aside, frustrated.

"Weren't you ever taught not to get married at 17?" He asks, crossing his arms.

Jace crosses arms too. "Love is love. What does age have anything to do with it?"

He rolls his eyes and catches his necklace I'm wearing. He grins, "She's wearing the necklace I got her. She's wearing nothing of yours. Is she?" He asks, smiling.

Jace takes her hand and shows him the rock on her finger. "I'd say this cancels out your necklace."

I swallow as Charlie smiles wider. "I bet I know more about her than you do." He challenges.

Jace shrugs. "I know what she wants me to know. That's fine with me."

He Chuckles. "Your so full of it Jace." He says, walking out. I look at Jace, swallowing.

Jace closes his eyes, taking a deep breath, before opening them and look at Rayah.

I look down at the floor, confused and lean against the wall. Jaz comes around and grabs hold of both my legs.

He watches her, fingering her necklace before letting it go, and sits down without a word, taking his head in his hands.

I watch him. "Jace? You okay?" I asked sitting next to him.

He nods and looks at her, studying her. "I just... I don't like him whatsoever. He irks me to the extreme."

I look at him and make him look at me. "You know I'll never leave you whatsoever. I wouldn't have said yes if I still had feelings for him." I said, swallowing.

He flashes a smile. "I know. I just don't like him."
