Sorry guys I had to edit it! I finally got my CoLS book again and realised it was wrong. Anyway, hope you like this one! ^_^
Why was he crying? Crying was irrelevant, especially for half demons. Jace reached down and started rubbing his back quite awkwardly. He didn't understand what this feeling was. Was this what the loss of a girlfriend felt like? Or a loved one for that matter? Is this what his father felt when Jocelyn left? This feeling was new, and quite frankly, scared the shit out of him. Did this mean he was going soft?
"Jonathan," Jace began.
"Get me a wet napkin. Now." he said as he got up.
He sat down on the kitchen table and wiped away the tears that were coming less and less. Jace handed it to him and watched him dry his eyes. He felt bad for him. He didn't really understand what it felt like to lose the love of your life like that, but he felt he could almost relate. Jonathan stood up and tilted his head.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing, I have to use the bathroom."
"Oh, okay. I'll just, uh, put the stuff on the table."
Jonathan headed upstairs and quietly snuck down the hall to his room. The door was open, and someone stood inside. Red hair, short, no body figure. His sister. She laid the silver box down and backed up into him. He composed him self and wrapped his arms around him. She relaxed into him.
"What were you doing in my room?"

Sunlight burned my eyes open. Good, it was just a dream. I hadn't really left Jonathan. I moved my hand up the sheets. Nothing. I pushed up quickly and found totally different surroundings.
"Where am I?" I muttered.
The room was a bright neon orange with tall pillars that were covered in glitter. A man, tall and slim but muscular, walked out of a door with a towel around his waist. I screamed and went for a weapon. My fingers felt a blade tip and yanked it out of its hiding place. I flicked it, a swift movement of my wrist, and watched it sink into the wall beside his head. He screamed and turned to find me with my hand still in throwing position.
"Liza, Liza! It's me!" he cried as I went for another blade.
"Who's me?" I demanded, blade ready.
"Alec! Your best friend! You've known me since we were really little! We used to live next to each other in Idris!" he screeched as he threw his hands up to protect his face.
I lowered the dagger and got up. "Alec, I'm so sorry! I didn't know where I was or how I got here and… You scared me!"
He patted my back. "Wait," he pushed me back. "You don't know how you got here?"
Just as I was about to answer, Magnus ran in and let out a scream of his own. "My wall!" He ran to the dagger and pulled it out. "See?! This is why we don't have daggers within hand distance!"
"Magnus, she doesn't remember how she got here."
He looked at me, and his face softened. "Aw, darling. Your brain's in complete denial. It happened dear."
"What happened?" I asked.
They shared a look. Uh, oh.
"You came to the apartment last night, face red and tear streaked, and said that you had left Jonathan and needed a place to stay." Magnus said calmly.
My stomach dropped. "I did what?"
"You broke up with Jonathan." Alec repeated.
"No." I ran towards the door. "No!" Then it all came up.

He sat at the metal desk with a pen in his hand and stared at the paper. So far, all he had was My Beautiful One. Jonathan wasn't sure on how to continue it from there. He clenched his fist. "Damn it!" he shouted, throwing the now broken pen at the wall. It hit a picture he had hung up after they had gotten back from the Bone Chandelier. He stalked over to it and yanked it from the pin.
The picture ripped, but not enough. He could still see him and Elizabeth, smiling. He remembered the day it was taken. It had been a week since she had been living with them. Jace was using a camera for the first time, and they had to retake it five times. This time, he got it perfectly. She was laughing at him, her eyes crinkled from smiling, and leaning her head to his. He was smiling at her, hand resting on her cheek. A tear fell, and he wiped it away. He tried to rip it, but found himself re-hanging it. Instead, he sat on the bed and held his head in his hands. Sobs shook his body. It was unnatural for him to cry. He was partially a demon; he shouldn't be crying.
"Why?" he asked. "Why?! What did I do?!"
He leaned back on the bed, grabbing a pillow, and screamed in pain. "Elizabeth!"
He breathed in, and smelt something familiar; her perfume. Jonathan stopped crying momentarily to breathe it in. Which only made matters worse. The smell made the void deeper and deeper with each breathe he took. Finally, he sat up, tossing the pillow aside and wiping the tears away. "I will have her back." he said strongly. "I will get her back and make her love me. If I die doing so, so be it. She is mine. But first."
/-/
I waited in the bathroom for Magnus to come back. At last, he opened the door, quickly shutting it and shoving his hand behind his back.
"Have you… had any sexual contact with him?"
I stared at him. "That's kinda personal, don'tcha think?"
"Just tell me!" he said impatiently.
"Fine. Yes."
He looked at the floor. "Have you noticed something's missing?"
I gave him a look. What was he talking about? Nothing as missing. "What do you… Oh, no. My period's late!"
"Uh, huh. I could tell because you didn't have anything for it in your bags."
"You went through my stuff?!" I shrieked.
"Now's not the time for that! We need to find out if you're pregnant with his demon spawn!" Magnus tossed me the box. "Hurry up! Spread!"
"First off, I can't believe you just said that! Second, turn around!"
He gave me a face. "I'm with Alec. I don't care for you."
"Gee, thanks. Now turn around!" I said, shooting him a tight smile.
He faced the wall with a huff and waited on me. Two minutes later, he turned back and grabbed it.
"Moment of truth." he said calmly.
"How are you so calm?"
"I'm not. Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
We took a deep breath. Then, he handed it to me. "You look at it first!"
"What?!"
"Just look!"
I rolled my eyes and sighed. Just breathe, just breathe. When I seen it, my heart stopped.
Whatcha think's gonna happen? Tell me in the reviews box just below this chapter! I'm excited to see what you guess! Maybe it's correct in grammar and punctuation!
