Chapter 4
I stood there infuriated. I wanted to burst out cry but instead, I bursted into my room yelling at Simon.
"I'm really sorry Simon but weren't you just in the…" I got cut off.
"I was just looking for you." I look down and see that he was putting on his shoes.
"Where are you going?"
"Home. It's clear I have over stayed my welcome."
"I'm sorry, it wasn't like it was planned!"
"Lemme guess it just happened, please." He was definitely angry with me.
"Look I know you don't like him."
"Actually I hate the guy!"
"Why?"
"I thought you were better than that!"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I'm the one who's always been there for you, not him!" What was he saying? I stood in the middle of the room in complete an utter shock. He lets out a heavy sigh and speaks again. "I'm in love with you! And it's clear you don't feel the same way." I continue to be shocked, I start to speak up but he didn't want to hear it.
"Just don't, there is nothing to say. Clary… he's just using you to get the cup."
He shoves my sketch book into my hands and he too walks away from me. I look at my sketch of Jace that I had drawn and Simon had added a few of his own "personal" touches to my drawing. What had I done? I just lost my best friend since childhood and I just lost the man I have only ever loved! Was this cup really worth of losing the most important people in my life?
I had to go find Jace.
