Beauty Within

Jace?

It all happened in a rush....

Vivid images of Jace that day had flashed through my mind as I slept. That day....that horrid day. I remembered the feeling when I saw the nurse covering up his body, and me knowing that when I got there I was too late.

I got up and went to the bathroom and rinsed my face with water. I eyed myself in the mirror,examining my messy bun and slicking it up a bit.

"Why didn't I get there earlier." I mumbled to myself as I held my head down looking into the sink.

"Don't beat yourself up about it." I heard the voice of Jace, sounding as if he was in the same room as me.

My head shot up as I noticed his reflection in the mirror.

"Jace!" I twisted my body to turn to be face to face with what could be an illusion of Jace.

"W-what are you?" I stammered, "are you here?"

"In the flesh, well not actually in the flesh." He chuckled.

"How are you here?"

"You're thinking of me aren't you?" He raised a brow.

"Yeah-"

"Well let's just say its you're mind playing tricks on you." He shrugged.

"C-can I touch you?" I lifted my hand as I took a step closer and placed my hand on his left cheek.

"Woah." I murmured softly. "Shit just got weird."

*Knock Knock*

I turned my attention to the door as I snatched my hand away from Jace's cheek.

"Kal." I heard Bianca whispher, "you okay, I saw you get up and you never came back."

"I'm fine." I replied as I looked back to place where Jace was standing, noticing that he was no longer there.

I opened the door to meet the blue eyed blonde standing there in her PJ's.

I gave her a smile and she returned it with a little smirk.

"I was just checking up on you." She said.

"Yeah, I'm fine just had a weird dream." I said as I looked back in the bathroom and cut off the light.

"Well okay then, shall we go back to bed?" She laughed.

"Yeah." I replied.

The next morning all the girls went home, except for Milo and Shelby.

Shelby and Bianca had family plans, Milo and Ariana wanted to help me get ready for my date with Jaxon.

"So do you have any idea of where he may be taking you?" Milo asked.

"Well I know that he told me that he wanted me to be ready at 7." I replied with a shrug.

"So he's taking you out at night." Ariana stood up and walked over to the closet to examine my clothes.

"Well Jaxon is a sporty guy and you're a sporty girl so he may take you somewhere fun." Milo added.

"So we're going for a casual look." Ariana said as she grabbed one of pairs of jeans out of the closet.

Milo then got up and began examining the jeans as well, "Hmm those really aren't what I feel would work with my form of casual." He began fumbling through a few more racks until he laid his eyes on what seemed to be perfect.

"These." He pulled a pair of dark green joggers from my closet as Ariana pulled a white t-shirt from my closet as well.

"Ouu I think we're getting somewhere with this." Milo beamed.
