"Hey. I'm sorry for how I acted earlier." Jace sighed, running a hand through his hair.

I sat up on the bed in order to properly face him. 

"It's okay babe. I'm sorry too-"

"No," Jace cut me off, "you don't have to feel sorry for anything. It was my fault. I should've been more excited to see our friends."

I pulled Jace into a hug, his smell wafting into my nose.

"No baby. Don't blame yourself. I should've considered your feelings too."

I pulled away, a soft smile on my face as I looked into his eyes. "I have a question though. What made you change your mind about today? You were so excited to meet with them a couple days ago...."

"I don't know what got into me, I guess I was just tired. I didn't get enough sleep last night."

I nodded.

"Is everything alright?"

There was a slight pause before Jace answered.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Why won't you look me in the eye?

Are you lying?

"Okay."

I pushed away my thoughts.

Jace will tell me what's bothering him when he feels comfortable enough.

"Let's go to bed now, okay? You're probably exhausted."

Jace waited until I was lying down before he laid down beside me.

"Yeah. Adam dragged us around the park the whole day. He was really excited."

A smile spread across my features asI recalled the events from today."

Jace looked at me with a shocked expression.

"Adam came?"

"Yeah. Is there something wrong with that?"

"No. It's just that he told me that his parent's were throwing a party so he couldn't come..."

"Well, maybe he found a way to get out of it?"

"Maybe."
