CHAPTER 1 *A PERFECT LIFE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN*
The morning sun shone bright through the pale glass panel and onto the sleeping faces of the seven heroes, sleeping in front of the T.V, making their faces go a light shade of orange. Jay slowly twisted and turned as he woke up, rubbing his eyes together. He felt a warm body close to his as he looked down onto the couch, and there, curled up into a ball, was his sleeping beauty sleeping in his arms.
The orange reflected on her face and her orange waves of hair, making her look like the sunset on the horizon, beautiful and breath taking, hard to draw your eyes off.
Her face had a smile, telling him that she was having a nice, peaceful dream for once in the last week.
Looking back on the past week he had, he really didn't know what Cronus was capable of. He knew his weakness, and wouldn't stop until it was destroyed.
But he would find more time for her now, to watch over her, to be more like a boyfriend, and not a psycho person obsessed with Cronus and anal about defeating him.
He noticed the sun was begging in to annoy her, and got up, quickly and quietly, to the window and pulled the shade down, making sure not to step on his sleeping friends that lay on the floor.
As he pulled it down, the room fell dark and silent, as he looked at everyone, peacefully sleeping.
Atlanta and Archie were snuggled up on the couch, close together and Archie's arm around her waist.
Odie was on the floor, whispering in his sleep, something about Madelia. Jay was happy Odie finally found someone. He saw Herry, on the floor the blanket not even covering one inch of his body, one hand in the empty bowl of popcorn and one hand on the floor, with the remote laying in his hand.
He looked at Neil, on the floor with a million and one cushions behind his head, with his mirror standing up in front of him. 'I'm guessing when he wakes up, the first thing he's see is himself' Jay said to himself.
Then there lay Theresa, on the couch, now and then shivering in the cold. It was quite chilly inside the house, since it was begging of winter. He rushed over to her and grabbed the blanket off the floor, as he brought it up o her sleek, skinny shoulders, and sat next to her, stroking her hair and looking, dazed, at her angelic face.
'I can't believe I nearly lost her' he thought to himself.
His thoughts were interrupted by a phone in the kitchen.
He kissed the sleeping angle on her forehead, and got up to leave to answer the phone.
As he walked to the kitchen, hitting his bare feet one by one on the cold patterned tiles, he thought as his life, right now, except fro Cronus, perfect.
The ring of the phone became louder and louder, as he neared the phone, wondering who was ringing at 7am in the morning.
He picked up the phone as he held it to his ear.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Ah, Jay, am I correct?" The man said, with all seriousness.
"Ah, yes, may I ask whose calling?" he asked back, curious.
"It's the New Olympia Hospital, I'm afraid we have some bad news." The presumed to be doctor said.
Jay's heart stopped. Bad news?
Jay had no reply as thoughts crossed his mind furiously.
"Er… your mother, Mrs…."
"Yes I know my mothers name, no please, tell me what's the bad news?" Jay said, rising his anger level a little.
"Um, well, yes, you see, she was involved in a car accident, a vital car accident."
The phone dropped, and the line was cut short.
