Claire POV-

They all went back home and although everyone was somewhat purgeturbed, she was just happy to know that she did have what it takes to survive there.

As she was lost in her thoughts she heard a knock on the door. Jordan looked out her window and saw it was Tom of all people.

Great did he come here to kill her after all?

Jordan got her bow and readied an arrow.

"Come in" she said aiming towards the door. When he came in and saw the arrow he quickly put down his weapons and have her that "Im not gonna burn anything you love like I usually would" look. So against all instinct Jordan lowered her weapon as well.

"Look I didnt come here for revenge. I just really wanted to congratulate you, you did me proud out there. You managed to stay toe to toe with me, that has earned you some respect from my part as well as everyone here, even the gods I'd say."he said happily

Then he made his way closer to her and gave her a big hug.

There was no harm in a hug she thought, so she hugged him back.

"Thank you. I don't hear those words very often. My father never once said he was proud of me, so thank you for making me feel worth something. Besides you are the one who trained me so you get half the credit!"she replied

He smiled and just when she thought he was about to make a snarky remark, he pulled up her face and kissed her forehead. Jordan didn't know why but it took her a moment to process it, afterwards she was to astonished to do anything about it.

It was quiet, and they were just standing there without saying anything. Jordan wasn't sure how to break the awkward silence so she stood on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek, then she turned around towards her bedroom and quietly said "Goodnight Tom, see ya in the morning"

Jordan didn't see his reaction but it took him a while to move from his position, after he probably snapped back, Tom made his way to the door and said goodnight.

Jordan closed the door to the room and stood there in awe.

The way she had know Tom in the show was as a crazy, easygoing guy with an occasional temper. Jordan just couldn't envision him being sweet and having feelings for her.

Of course she didn't think he loved her in a romantic way, maybe just as a younger sister or something. Regardless, that behavior was weird.

Looked like many things were different there than the way they were in the show itself.

After much thinking she decided that tomorrow morning she would ask Sonja about it, she has know him longer than Jordan has after all. Maybe he was just acting weird because of Dianite.

Besides talking to Sonja would give them a chance to have the "girls day" she wanted so desperately.

All that thinking had driven her away from what she should have been thinking about. She had killed today more than once... as she looked at herself in the mirror she was very concerned and confused at the face that stared back.

Jordan didn't know if it was just a panic attack or what, but she got a knife from the kitchen and grabbed her hair in a ponytail, then she cut her hair.

Now it was just above arms length instead of hanging past her chest.

There.

A little change never hurt anyone. After that she decided to go to sleep before she made a change she was gonna regret.

*Next day*

During Jordan and Sonja's girls day out she decided to ask Sonja what she thought of Tom's behavior. She told her what happened last night, Sonja just sat down and started laughing.

" I've never seen him like that. That means there is only one explanation but you are too naive to see it Jordan! Tom is totally crushing on you, the fact that you don't see it is kinda adorable though!" She paused and then continued, "So... how do you feel about him! I mean you did kiss him"

Then her big green eyes meet hers as she waited for an answer.

Tom liking her, thats impossible!

Maybe he was just sleep drunk

"Sonja it was a kiss on the cheek! Thats just a friendly gesture! If I'm being completely honest, Im not looking for a relationship. Don't get me wrong, I care about Tom, just not like that. I care about him the same way I care about you guys, as my best friends!"Jordan said

Before she had a chance to escape, Sonja grabbed her arms and made her sit down next to her.

"Common just give him a chance, I know he's crazy sometimes but I believe he can be sweet. He just needs someone to bring out that side of him, and who better than you little miss sunshine slash badass"

She...she wanted her to go out with Tom? What on earth was going on. This was not the advice Jordan was expecting.

"Look Sonja, lets just say I did decide to give him a chance. Dianite would kill us both, he hates me with a passion specially with me following Ianite and all. Plus if I'm not fully committed, wouldn't that just end up hurting Tom. Thats the last thing I want to do"

Sonja seemed to realize that she was right.

To make her point, Jordan added, " Not only that but, what if your wrong. What if he doesn't like me and you are just assuming things?" Thats when she got one of those rare evil grins of hers and asked Tucker to come their way.

She gave Sonja a puzzled look but she shrugged it off. When Tucker got there Sonja waisted no time, she told him everything.

Then she asked "Now that you know all of that, we need someone to find out the truth. Can you talk to Tom and get the truth out of him? You know just have some guy talk action going. Please, for me", he couldn't say no to that, he was strong but not that strong.

Still Jordan expected more defiance form him, he was never to fond of talking about feelings and stuff like that. But there was nothing he wouldn't do for his girlfriend.

"Fine" he said, and made his way to Tom's house. "Ill message you both what I find out. Though I agree with Sonja on this one, not because she is my girlfriend, but because I can see she is right"

With that he left.

Crap, what have she gotten herself into?

Sonja then told her to go home and rest, then once Tucker got the information they would all meet at Jordan's house.

Jordan reluctantly did as she said and went home, Sonja knew more about this stuff than she did so she'd take her word for it.

Jordan just hoped that Sonja was wrong, she never been good at handling people crushing on her back home.

Not to mention, what would her parents think of this! Their precious, delicate Claire dating a guy who was not only a few years older than her, but he was from an impossible world and had green skin. They would think she's out of her mind.

In times like those, music always made her feel better. Jordan had quite the affinity for good music and in some cases when she was bored, she made a few songs herself.

Jordan decided this would be a good way to sacrifice her iPad battery so she pulled out her iPad from her bed stand and put on the last song that she had listened to, "All I need" by within temptation.

Strangely this kinda fit into what Sonja was saying about Tom earlier, or maybe she was just over thinking things. Nevertheless, the song served its soothing purpose as always.
