Forty-Six

Paige's POV

For the past three days, Jace has been acting quite strange and that is when he is around, for most of the day he just disappears and comes back right before dinner, I would have asked but he would think I care and I can't have that.

"Can you get me a glass of orange juice please" Mum requested not taking her eyes off the reality show she seemed to have found a sudden interest in.

"Okay," I replied walking to the kitchen.

"Here you go," I said, offering her the drink.

She stretched out her hand to take it, her gaze still fixated on her show, "Thank you my child" she appreciated.

"Mum" I called out after a few minutes.

"Yes," she answered.

"Have you noticed anything up with Jace recently?" I asked just to be sure it's not all in my head.

"He seems to have something keeping him occupied," she replied with divided attention.

"I feel like something is wrong but I don't want to directly ask him" I confessed.
