Jace nodded and Ty stripped his shirt off, everyone waited for Cain to jump into the game and it continued. Jace threw himself wholeheartedly into the game, tackling people who didn't have the ball to mix things up and kicking field goals as if it was nothing. He had tackled everyone except Cain at least twice when his ribs bound up.<br/>He dropped to his knees, his arms wrapped around his chest, waving away Ty and Joe as they rushed over to help him off the field. He pushed himself up and stood swaying for a second, before he carefully moved off the field and laid down by the sidelines, trying to hold his breath til the pain left. He watched the game, catching a glimpse of something shinning around Cain's neck. He briefly wondered what it was, but dismissed the thoughts as weird. He grabbed his own necklace and raised to to eye level. he looked through the pink tint of the rose quarts and saw the sun in a very funny pale pink shade. He laughed and realized the pain in his chest was gone.<br/>He sat up and took a deep breath. Okay, not gone but just in the back of his ribs now. He got up and grabbed his shirt and phone before waving to the group and heading to the library to check out some books that he should have read over the summer.<br/>He carefully picked the books and settled into a deep black leather armchair, pulling his long legs up and resting the book between his knees. He forgot to keep track of time and lost himself in the book, nestled in the chair no one bothered him and he was just resting.<br/>All too soon there was a tap on his shoulder and he looked up at the librarian. "We're closing for the night." Jace nodded and flashed the lady a smile.<br/>"Of course. I'll be leaving in a minute. Just gotta wake my legs up." The lady nodded and smiled, before walking away.<br/>Jace gathered his book and himself and walked slowly to the dorm, breathing in the clear sharp night air before going into an enclosed space. He took another breath of cold clean air and pulled the dorm door open and walked into the room, tugging off his shirt and heading to the bathroom to shower before going to bed.<br/>(if Cains there,) He looked over at Cain. "I'm about to take a shower, you need to use the bathroom?" He asked before going in.<br/>After he hopped out, he dressed in shorts slid into bed with his phone tucked under his pillow and a book in hand.
