I am Isabelle Lightwood, the girl who was never the third wheel. Except when it comes to Parabatai. Lately, I've noticed how left out I feel when I hang out with Jace and Alec or with Simon and Clary (who are now Parabatai since Simon has Ascended). I feel like a third wheel. I would make Magnus my parabatai, but he's a warlock and I have a feeling we'd not get along much. He's all glitter and I'm all glam. Yes, there is a difference.
It never bothered me at first because it was only Jace and Alec who were parabatai and Jace always insisted that I come along when we need to kick demon ass. However, now that Simon has Clary's back, I feel no one has my back. I tried to handle a week of Clary and Simon being parabatai, but they seemed to have gotten closer more than possible now and I feel like a third wheel, so I've bee avoiding Simon for a while.
It's not his fault that he was lucky enough to get a best friend who is now his parabatai. After all, they grew up together. I didn't meet lots of kids my age. It was just me, Alec, and Jace against the world. But when they became parabatai, I realized that despite everything they would have each other's back. I wondered who would have my back?
When I met Clary and we found out she was a Shadowhunter, I thought over time maybe we'd get close enough to consider being parabatai. Yet we never did because we had different personalities. We are friends, but I just can't imagine us being parabatai. However, the moment Simon agreed to become a Shadowhunter, I knew they'd be parabatai before any of the two could ask the other or even consider it (it was Simon who asked first).
I love my friends. I love Simon, Alec, Jace, and Clary, but I could use someone to look out for me because everyone needs a parabatai, even me. Just because I was independent doesn't mean I'm not vulnerable.
Sorry for the short chapter. I just wanted to give a short intro about how Isabelle feels being without a parabatai. I might not update this a lot because I already have two Infernal Devices fanfictions and school is starting soon, but I needed to post this story before I lost the idea! I hope you guys are gonna love it! Tell me your thoughts in the reviews! Byee xoxo.
