Jay's POV:
I didn't realize,but I had fallen asleep in the car. Keifer had to carry me to the bed in the RV. I also didn't realize that my brothers made Keifer sleep away from me in opposite rooms. In the RV, there were 3 bedrooms. One for Aries and Percy, although I would be fine sleeping with Aries too, one for me and one that was originally supposed to be for Percy but became Keifer's because of his sudden visit.
Percy didn't complain at all though. He's not the type to. Although he's dramatic, stupid and annoying, if you look deeper he's the type of person who keeps dark moments light. In a world where light pollution hides all the stars, he is still visible. Why? Because that's truly how bright he shines. And even if I didn't see him, I still knew he was always there, and he always will be. His ocean eyes. Every time he turns serious and he looks at me with those eyes, I can't help but feel…calm, sad, weirded out, serene, and… it's just really hard to describe. I guess they really know how to make me cry. And I don't cry much, but his comforting ocean eyes do. When I watch him, even from afar, the first thing I always notice are his eyes. It's not fair, he has such beautiful eyes.
But maybe it's because I still don't see him being serious most of the time. He is always cheering other people up. I'm glad I could treat his back and he was able to heal.
I just still don't understand why such an amazing person is still in love with Freya.
It's 12 P.M and I woke up because I was hungry but now I'm just lost in my thoughts.
Somehow, Aries is always awake when I am.
"You're not asleep?" I asked him.
"No, are you hungry?"
"It's fine, let's just go out for a moment" I told him.
We stepped outside, bewildered by how gorgeous it was.
"Isn't the weather great?" I asked him.
"Yeah, it's great," Aries agreed, but his eyes were glued to the stars now beginning to twinkle in the dark sky.
"You think the stars are pretty Aries?"
He nodded.
"Same."
I don't know why, but I hugged him. It just felt like the right moment too. He hugged me back and we stayed like that for a bit. People say that you fall asleep quickly around people you trust. It must be true because I fell asleep in his embrace.
Aries's POV:
"Jay" I called out lightly, nudging her a bit. She didn't respond.
She fell asleep. I carried her back to her bed and went to sleep.
Jay's POV:
I woke up turning and tossing in my bed. I kept waking up in the middle of the night for some reason.
"Wake up sistah!" Percy shouted.
"Shut the f*ck up" I yawned, forgetting Keifer was there. They were all watching me like hawks.
"Profanity~"
"No Keifer! They are still he-" I couldn't finish because he leaned in and kissed me. In front of Aries.
I suppose he really has a death wish, because Aries punched him right then and there.
"Brother in law!!" He whined, hugging my waist and crying like a child in front of me, "he hit me"
"Good," I said coldly.
I saw Aries smirk a little.
"Do you not love me anymore wifey??"
"Let go of my sister!"
"She's my wife!"
"She's my sister and she's not your wife!"
Percy came back from the kitchen and sprayed water on all of us,
"Stop fighting for the sake of my baby sistah and fo the sake of your girlfriend "
"She's my sister not yours and she's not his girlfriend!" Aries repeated for the millionth time.
"Whatever you say my baby~"
"I'm not your ba-"
"Come eat the breakfast this handsome, hardworking man made before it gets cold, we need to go hiking after this" Percy cut him off.
"Yes my butler" I teased, getting up.
He pretended to be offended, "Butler? Oh I do not deserve such a low title"
I laughed it off and got ready, changing my clothes after they all got out of the room.
I should be stressed about the banquet since there's less than a week left now…It's okay, I should take some time off to rest too sometimes. I keep forgetting I'm human too.
I walked to the kitchen expecting to see a Michelin star restaurant with all Percy's praise, but it was just instant noodles. To be fair, I like instant noodles more than fancy food. Something about it is comforting. And I'm always up to try others' instant noodles. Although they come from the same packet, everyone makes them differently. Even a few seconds can change the taste entirely.
I slurped my noodles happily, and Percy started to interrogate me.
"They are the best, right? How do they taste? Do you like them?"
"Yes, amazing, and yes"
"I knew it" he sighed in relief.
"Why'd you lie?" Aries asked, teasingly.
"Huh?"
"These noodles suck" he insulted, obviously sarcastic.
"Then give them to me!"
"You're already a thousand pounds, I don't want you gaining more weight"
I hit him, "what did you say?"
"I'm sorry!"
"Don't listen to him my precious baby brothah, I love your noodles"
"Any smart person would say that"
"I'm your brother! Not him!"
_______________________________________________________________
"Are you sure you want to do this Jay-Jay?" Aries asked for the last time.
Bro, we already prepared everything, and we are already at the hiking site. Isn't it too late to ask this?
"Yes I'm sure!"
"What if you get hurt?"
"Don't worry brother in law, I'll protect my wifey"
Aries glared at him. I knew he was planning the color of his coffin. He was actually probably planning a way to push him off the hill.
Even the climbing we were doing was basically artificial. It was well cut and a clear place, with minimal trees, and even if there were trees, they were small and neat. They worried about me getting hurt. If they knew that I did all types of dangerous things when I was a child.
The main part we were climbing is actually because at the end there is a zip line, and there are actually mountains you can see after that, that are gorgeous in the fog. Kinda scared but it's okay.
We already have prepped everything and if we get lost, I'll just call a private helicopter. Nevermind, Keifer would already do that before I could get the chance to. Sad because my company has passed the Watsons already and they don't even know about it.
But happy for me of course!
"What are you thinking of baby sistah?" Percy snapped me back to reality.
"Ahh my bad, let's go" I spoke, as we slowly walked together in the pretty trail.
It was slightly windy and the sun was slightly showing. The weather was amazing.
We didn't talk because of how peaceful it was. I wished it could stay like this forever,
I wanted to sing but didn't. I almost tripped, but Keifer held me close.
"Just hop on my back it's not that long till we reach the zipline"
"You ugly monkey that ruins the entire purpose of hiking, you really think my sister's gonna agree-"
I hopped on his back smiling. Sorry Aries, I love a good offer.
"JASPER JE-"
"Shut up and continue walking," I told him.
As we arrived at the zipping area, I was shocked at how pretty it was.
Wahhhhh. 我恋爱了. 真漂亮.
"Is it pretty?" Aries asked me softly.
"Mhmm" I muttered as we all got on to the zipline carriage and set off.
As we sat down, I noticed how everyone was looking outside but someone. Keifer would look outside for a second but stare at me for what felt like hours.
Words can't describe how mesmerizing the view was to me. I felt like I was at peace. Seeing places like this and knowing that they aren't even the most beautiful in the world really makes me want to travel everywhere.
I closed my eyes and put my head on Aries's shoulder as the cold wind patted my face.
I felt him wrap his arm around my shoulder,
"If you're tired and didn't sleep last night, you could've told us," he muttered.
Aries's POV:
Percy, nor Keifer was joking. We were all quiet as we watched Jay-Jay fall asleep. I took pictures because I knew she would want to see them. Keifer took off his jacket and put it on her. He was wearing triple layers so it was fine for him.
On the other hand Jay was only wearing a shirt as her top. No jacket, no nothing. I remember when we were little and she always refused to wear her jacket.
I miss that Jay. The one who was young and childish, the one who was braver than ever. The one who fought for everything she believed in. The one who never backed down. The one who had no weaknesses. She looked so much happier and carefree. When she came back she looked empty and broken inside. When she twisted the knife, it felt like she was screaming for help with her eyes even though she was the one holding the knife.
She still hasn't told me what happened. I got a text message from Angelo, bringing me out of my thoughts.
Angelo:
Is everything going alright?
Aries:
Yes, she's safe, don't worry.
I sighed, closing my phone.
"What happened?' Percy asked seriously.
"It's was just Angelo don't worry"
_______________________________________________________________
I woke up today to the sound of fire crackling outside. Is there a fire? How did I get here? Where am I?
Oh. I'm just being stupid, I fell asleep and now I'm in my bed in the RV.
I got up and went outside.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Making barbecue"
I smiled enormously. I love barbecue. I especially love chicken.
"Here wifey" Keifer said handing me a skewer,
I took a bit and…and…..IT WAS SO GOOD. I jumped a little in happiness. Aries looked at me weirdly but I chose to ignore it.
"WHO MADE THIS?"
"It was me wifey"
"Can I hire you as my chef?"
"I can be your husband instead," he flirted.
We all ate and laughed, sharing childish stories around the fire. Then I went back to sleep. Tomorrow we have to head back. So sad. I will miss this place, not gonna lie. It was so fun here. Also made me realize just how sleep deprived I was.
