Chapter 15.

I stood motionless,watching as they lowered my mothers casket deep into the ground,next to my fathers grave.My eyes were all puffy and red from all the crying I had done through the funeral.

Everyone gave me hugs and muttered sorry's as they walked away to their cars,all of my mothers friends.Everyone leaving me watching as they threw dirt over my mother,separating us forever.

I watched until they had finished filling in the grave,and walked away.I knew I wasn't alone,Travis was stood a few feet behind me,with Jet.Both of them giving me time to grieve and take all this in.

I knelt down in the middle of my mothers and fathers graves,as rain started pouring down,making me soaked and cold.But I stayed there,knelt on the muddy ground,stroking my hand across the gravestone were it 'read loving mother and wife'.

I stared at my fathers grave as tears rolled down my cheeks,my body shaking uncontrollably as I grieved.I was alone in the world,I had no family left.

It felt as though hours had passed,I was cold and dripping wet,It hadn't stopped pouring down with rain.

I felt an arm wrap around my waist,pulling me up so I was standing up again.

I turned around to find Jet stood in front of me with a worried expression.He was also soaked,his hair glistening with raindrops.He was holding a spare jacket in his hand,he had somehow kept it dry in this downpour.

"Here" he whispered,wrapping the jacket around me.It smelled of him,so it was obviously one of his jackets.

"Thanks" I croaked,sniffling.

he looked at me sadly,"I have to go in a minute,I'm on duty" he said,staring at me.

I nodded,starting to walk away from him,away from Travis in the distance.

I could hear Jet following me,until I stopped about 10 feet away so we were out of hearing range of Travis.

We stayed in silence for a while,until Jet blurted out "I'm sorry".

I looked at the floor,slightly ignoring him.

"We didn't know they would go after your mother" he whispered,looking away.

I didn't answer,I just stared at the trees as they were blowing in the wind.

Jet stayed quiet,watching my every move.I sighed,turning to face him,Iasked the question I was having a hard time figuring out.

"Why did you save me Jet?" I asked,getting straight to the point.

Jet's head snapped up quickly to stare me in the eyes,he stared at me for a while before answering,"I don't know" he whispered,ruffling his hair,"I just... I couldn't let you die".

I sighed,defeated.

"Why do you even care?" I whispered,looking away.

"Of course I care Thalia" Jet said with a hurt tone,taking a step towards me.

I stepped back,shaking my head "no you don't Jet,you keep saying that,but I can't believe you" I whispered.

"Why?,what is so hard to believe about that?" he asked annoyed,staring straight at me.

I frowned,"because you don't show it" I snapped,glaring at him.

"Of course I don't,I never asked for this to happen" he growled,clenching his jaw.

"Then why did you save me!,stop messing with my head!" I yelled,pushing him further away from me.

"Just get out of my life" I mumbled,turning away,wrapping my arms around myself.

I wanted to hit myself for saying it,but I was so pissed with him,I wanted to hurt him.

"You don't mean that Thalia" Jet said through clenched teeth.

I frowned,turning back around to face him,"I hate you Jet" I spat,"just piss off" I yelled even though it hurt me to say it.

By this time we had caught Travis' attention,he stared over at us,watching us.

Jet flinched,hurt crossing his face "fine,if you feel that way I'll go".

I suddenly regretted saying it,his hurt face sent a horrible pain through my chest.

"Jet,wait" I called as he began to fly away.He ignored me,not looking back.

"I'm sorry" I yelled,knowing he could hear me,but he never turned back.
