Clary's POV

When I woke up I found a figure standing over me. Sebastian has come to get me. I would be dead or at least close to dead by lunchtime. This was the end. I closed my eyes waiting for the first blow.

"Hey Clary," someone said. When I opened my eyes I couldn't have been more surprised when I opened my eyes, and found Magnus as always, covered in glitter, standing over me.

"Magnus!" I all but screamed, jumping out of my bed and hugging him. Magnus was the one who had erased memories of anything related to the shadow hunter world when I was a kid. Once I had found out who I really was, Magnus and I became very close.

"I thought you would be in Paris by now?" I asked him.

"I do love France, but I was in Italy when Jonathan called me," he said the last part gravely. He had that sympathetic look that I would always get after Sebastian had gone to jail.

Magnus seemed to understand my mood, like he always did, and said, "Let's go to shopping. Then we can go to the park with Simon, and then we can go to meet Jonathan at Taki's. We'll pick up Simon on the way, since Jonathan said he would be working, okay?" I nod appreciatively and go to my bathroom to take a shower and get changed. When came back, I found him in the kitchen, with grilled english muffins and scrambled eggs, my favorite breakfast when I was a kid.

"How did you make the scrambled eggs? I thought I was out of eggs?" To this, he just smirked. After we finished breakfast, we walked downtown. We spent a while shopping around, although I wasn't surprised when Magnus bought more makeup than I did. It was about four in the afternoon when we brought all our bags to my apartment, and then went to Jonathan and Simon's apartment. I knocked on the door, but Magnus just barged in.

"Magnus, I could have been changing!" Simon exclaimed. Magnus shrugged.

"Hello to you changed Simon; we are going to the park. Then we are going to meet Jonathan at Taki's as soon as he gets out of work." Magnus said. Simon obliged, and before I knew it we were at the park. Magnus had brought a Frisbee, so we played that for a while.

"Jonathan will be off work for his lunch break in about half an hour,"Simon said to me. We decide to head to Taki's early, and to everyone's surprise, Jonathan was there early.

"How did you get off work early? Your boss is the worst!" I said to him. Jonathan is a mechanic, and dreamed of opening his own shop one day, where as Simon was a computer programming designer. I had no idea how they got along so well.

"Actually Spencer wasn't there today, so we kinda got the day off since it was so slow." We all sat down at our favorite spot in the back next to the window. We ordered coffee, and talk about anything and everything.

"Clary, Sebastian is out there, and you need to be able to protect yourself," Jonathan argued after about an hour and a half of talking.

"Now is not the time to be discussing this Jonathan." Magnus said harshly.

"When is the right time Magnus? When he is throwing her against the wall again," Jonathan whisper-yelled. I winced, thinking back to all those nights Sebastian would throw me around.

"You are taking this too far Jon. Stop it." Simon demanded.

"I'm feeling tired, so I think I will head back to my apartment. Magnus, are you staying with me?" I asked.

"I will stay with you only if you want me to, Clary." Magnus said. I nod, and we call a cab, saying our goodbyes to Simon and Jonathan. It was a quiet ride back home, though not uncomfortable.

I insisted he slept on the bed with me, which he didn't argue with. I knew he was gay, and he was like an uncle to me, so it didn't bother me until I awoke on the floor after Magnus kicked me off. I sighed, and walked to the kitchen to find something to eat.

I checked my phone, and found two missed calls. They were both from the police department. I checked my voice mail…
