A/N: As promised I'm going to explain. On this chapter you'll see a conversation between izzy, clary, Alec, Jace, and Magnus while simon goes to the guest room. You well definitely see what happened before jace cheats. Also what happened between Magnus and Alec before and after Alec cheats. More of clizzy too. Enjoy:)
Previously
"How did you do it?" Magnus looks confused so I ask again. "I mean how did you forgive Alec. I can barely look at jace and I remember everything he did. I don't know if I'll be able to ever forgive him. Magnus, how did you do it?
Present
Jace's pov.
We were waiting in the kitchen while simon went to put his stuff away. Clary and izzy are talking but I'm not really listening. All I could think about right now was simon and how stupid I was to hurt him. I missed him...I still do but considering that he couldn't even look at me I doubt he'll want to talk to me.
"Jace!"
"What?" I looked at clary clearly confused.
"Like I was saying I think it's best if you don't talk to simon right now." I was shocked and I guess she noticed." You know with everything that happened.." She said looking at Alec too. "..me and izzy including Magnus decided that maybe it's for the best that you stay away from simon for a while." As I looked at izzy and Magnus who couldn't even look at me I couldn't help but feel hurt. And I don't blame them they are right... simon hates me, I hurt him in the worst way possible.
"Okay" I say with a hurt voice. And with that I leave the kitchen. Before I was out of the kitchen I heard Magnus and Alec.
"Simon has been in his room for a long time" Alec said with worry.
"Don't worry darling, I'll go check on him" I heard Magnus. Regretting what I've done I go to the roof.
Magnus's pov.
Ugh. Oh how painful this is to watch. Jace is clearly hurt but he wouldn't understand simon's pain.
"Okay" I hear him say with so much pain in his voice and than he leaves.
"Simon has been in his room for a long time." I can hear the worry from my blue eye shadowhunter.
I turn to him. "Don't worry darling, I'll go check on him." As I'm walking to simon's room I can't help but imagine what will happen if simon can't be here for clary and izzy's wedding.
" Hey Samuel, you okay? Been in here for a pretty long time." I say as I walk into the room barely catching him smile. I grin knowing I can still make him smile.
"Yeah I'm fine I was just lost in the past for a bit."I nod in understanding and motion for him to sit with me on the bed. "Simon I know how hard it is for you to be back here again after what happened.." "Magnus can we please not talk about this right now." He interruptes me. "No, look simon I know what you're feeling. I've felt exactly the same with Alec and I want you to know I'm here for you okay. And I know you don't want to talk about it right now so when you're ready we will okay. I'll be here." He nodded at me but I noticed he wanted to ask me something.
"How did you do it?" He told me. I wasn't sure what he meant.
"I mean how did you forgive Alec. I can barely look at jace and I start to remember what he did. I don't think I'll be able to ever forgive him. Magnus, how did you do it?"
For a minute I didn't know what to say or do but I could see he was getting impatient. "Honestly, I forgave Alec because I love him." "But he cheated on you. Weren't you hurt?" He said confused. "Of course I was hurt. How could I not? But here's the thing simon... when you truly love someone it's easier to forgive them especially since we were both mad and hurt before Alec and jace cheated. I listened to Alec...I made a decision about what happened and what shouldn't but in the end me and alec love each other. He made a bad decision and I don't blame him. I've done things I'm not exactly proud of." "So you got back together just like that?"
"Not exactly..." "Than tell me. I want to know considering right after we found them I left. I wasn't there for you." Simon looked down in shame and sadness. "Simon... it's okay. I get it, you were in pain and leaving was the only way to deal with that. It's fine but now let me explain."
Flashback
Magnus's pov.
"You're welcome biscuit. Now if we're done here I'm going to go see Alec." Clary nodded at me and I was on my way to go find him. Alec and I have been fighting lately and right now I'm over it. All I want to do is say sorry and tell him to come home. We just keep arguing about the same thing. My immortality. And honestly i don't care I just wanted to be with Alec. As I start to figure out what to say to him I realize that I can't find him. Weird, maybe jace knows. I turn down the hall where Jace's room is already seeing his door is open I go straight in.
"Jace! Have you seen..." I stop when I realize jace is naked and in bed with "...Alec?!" Out of the corner of my eye I can see simon. A truly hurt and in pain simon. With that I know my blue eye shadowhunter is cheating on me. "...Magnus?!" I hear him say in worry. I can't believe it and here I thought Alec would never hurt me." Simon...Magnus...I'm so sorry." His strained voice drifts throughout the room and I can see him start to feel remorse. I notice jace hasn't said anything not that care right now. Just like simon I'm so hurt and in pain. "I should've known...I'm such an idiot!" And with that I walk out of the room.
"..Magnus wait!" I hear him behind me but I just keep walking not wanting to talk to him."Ugh. Magnus come on please let me explain." Alec grabs my arm but I get out his grip and I stop not turning around. I can feel him behind from breathing to hard. I don't turn... I can't look at him. "Magnus, please, look at me I can explain." "Explain what! That what I saw isn't what I think it is!" I turn around now looking Alec and I step closer while he steps back. "That it meant-t absolutely n-nothing..." I tried to hold back my tears as my voiced cracked. "I don't need you to explain anything Alec" I turned and make a portal when I start walking I feel Alec grab my hand. "Magnus.. please don't go..." I turn to look at him to see how sad and broken he is. Tears now running down his face and all I want to do is make them go away but I can't. I shake my head no. I free my hand from his grip and walk to the portal before I enter I turn one last time. "...Goodbye..Alexander"
