Disclaimer: I do not own the mortal instruments series.

I felt like an eighteen wheeler had slammed into me. I looked up to Jonathan and said in a shaky voice,

"W-What...?" He took a deep breath.

"Izzy told me."

"Okay, this is so not funny John! I know I got you good on April Fool's day...but this is going too far!" I screamed.

"Clary...I'm not joking. Last time the freak was here...Izzy heard him talking. There's something about you and Simon together he HATES. He'll do anything to keep you two apart. Please...for me and Mom and Izzy...stay away from him. Forget him." Jonathan begged. I sat stunned.

"And if I don't...?"

"He will murder you." Jonathan said while looking down at his hands.

"How long are we talking?" I asked.

"Just until he leaves. Simon knows about this...but apparently he doesn't want to stay away from you." John answered. I could tell he wasn't very happy with Simon choices.

"No! This has to be a joke! Stuff like this doesn't happen in real life! Boys that are gorgeous but evil, boys that seem to read minds, crazy mind reading murderers...WHEN DID MY LIFE TURN INTO A HARRY POTTER BOOK?" Jonathan put a hand on my shoulder and said,

"Breathe in...okay, now let it out." I turned to him.

"Johnnyboy Don't take this the wrong way but.. I don't believe this boy wants to kill me and Simon. Sure, he may look pretty scary...but he's just misunderstood. Just like this. It's all a misunderstanding. Now I'm going to go to my room, go to sleep, then tomorrow I'm going down to the beach with Izzy and I'm inviting Simon." Jonathan paled when he said,

"No...Clary please just listen to me...-

"No. You've had your little laugh. Now I'm going to bed. Goodnight." I ran up the stairs and went into my room. My last thought before I went to sleep was Simon.
