"Catch me Jonathan, Catch me! Catch me!" I ran as fast as a 10 year old could my red hair flying in all directions, my green eyes shining with glee, my 12 year old brother chased me around our yard. I shrieked when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Clary, your out!" Jonathan was lying on the grass catching big breathes of air, his blonde-almost-white-hair sticked to his forehead because of sweat and and his black eyes closed "You're so fast, I didn't even think I could catch up".
"Clary, Jonathan come inside I need to talk to you." An older looking version of me stood on our doorway was our mother Jocelyn called us from the house
When we got in the house our father Valentine was sitting on our couch staring at the floor and My mom stood behind him with sadness in her green eyes.
"Mom what's wrong?" I heard my brother ask
My mom paused and sucked in a deep breathe before saying the words that knocked the breathe out of me " Your father and I, are getting a divorced". I noticed my brother sobbing quietly
"But, why?"
"Because we're just not happy anymore."
"But mom what will happen to us, Jonathan, me, Simon?"
"Clary, dear your father and I decided that you will come with me and your brother will stay with your brother. And don't worry we can still visit them from time, to time."
"But-"
"No but's Clarissa the decision is final now start packing because we'll leave tomorrow morning"
The next day
" I'll miss you dad" I told him as I hugged him tightly tears were streaming down my face
"I'll miss you too Clare-bear"
"Clary it's time to go"
I hugged my brother one last time before getting in the car and leaving the place where I grew up.
