Jonathan's POV

I sat by Clary's hospital bed waiting for her to wake up. It had been a day since she first slept, the doctors were getting worried about her. I was never one to pray or believe in God, but I took Clary's hand in mine and prayed for her quick recovery.

Something squeezed my hand. I looked up and Clary's eyes were open and looking back at me. "Hi Jonathan."

"Clary you're awake! You're- Oh my god you're awake!" I hugged her and she winced, I pulled away, "Sorry I'm just so happy to see you."

"How long have I been out?"

"One day, but it felt like an eternity for us."

"Us? Who else other than you, mom, and Valentine? I'm pretty sure my mom and Valentine didn't worry too much."

"Jace, Isabelle, and Alec. They have also come and gone all day. Also this high school kid that's volunteering here at the hospital named Magnus. He said he knew you."

"Magnus! Is he really here?" Her face lit up like a million stars. Magnus must be someone really important to her.

"Yeah he's been the one checking up on you. I'll go get him." I got up to leave but her hand closed around me.

"Thank you Jonathan."

"It's the least I could do." Then I left and found Magnus. I told him that Clary was awake and wanted to talk to him. I went home after that to freshen up and inform mom and dad that Clary was awake.

Clary's POV

Jonathan left and that left me to think. First thought that came to my mind was that I was hungry. I wonder why Magnus was working here at the hospital last time I talked to him he wanted to be an actor. Then again, the last time I talked to him was middle school.

The door opened and Magnus walked in, I got up from the bed ignoring everything in the way and the pain. I ran to him and hugged him despite his protests that I shouldn't be out of bed. "Magnus! It's been forever!"

"Yes and I want to talk to you too but not until you get back to your bed." He looked at me with a pointed look. I pouted and stuck out my tongue, but sat back down on my bed. He came over an sat next to me but not saying anything. Breaking the wall, "Sooooooo, how ya been? it's been forever."

"You're right it's been forever, I never thought that the next time I would talk to you would be when you were in the hospital." I felt guilty. After he left for high school we grew apart. I had seen him at school before but thought that he had forgotten me.

"I've seen you at school with your boyfriend. You guys look so cute together."

"Yea, we broke up because I found out that he was cheating on me."

"Give me his name and his address. I'm gonna beat him up." I was serious I would beat up anyone who hurt my friends.

"No, it's alright I was losing interest in him anyway."

"Oh ok I guess it's okay then. Anyone else in mind?"

"Well…" He did but didn't want to tell me. I was gonna get it out of him one way or another.

"Tell me!"

"You know the guy with black hair and blue eyes?"

I gasped, "You like Alec?!"

"I don't really like know him as a person yet, but yeah he's cute. Black hair and blue eyes are my favorite combo."

"I remember. Well I'll put in good word for you."

"You don't even know if he's gay!"

"He is."

"How do you know?"

"Don't tell anyone, but when he looks at Jace he looks at him as if he were an old love."

"So you're saying that he used to like the blond guy?"

"Yea. I am rooting for you and him to be together." I smiled at him. I meant it, Magnus deserves to be happy.

Knock, knock, knock

"And that'll be all your other friends checking up on you."

"Can you let them in? But I want you to stay with us too." He nodded and went to open the door.

Izzy walked in first, then Jace, and then Alec bringing up the rear. Alec looked to Magnus, and they started talking to each other.

Izzy came to me, "You okay Clary?"

"Yeah I feel fine, still kinda hungry though." I said it loudly enough for Magnus to hear, he just yelled over, "Sorry sweetie I forgot."

Izzy pulled out a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and gave it to me. Jace was just standing behind Izzy staying silent. I started eating my sandwich and Izzy talked to me. I had no idea what she was talking about but I just nodded, distracted by Jace's distant stare out the window.

Izzy must have noticed that I wasn't really paying attention to her because she left at some point. I finished my sandwich and wiped my mouth. "Jace?"

He looked at me. "Are you okay Jace? You seem distant."

"Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking."

"What about?"

"Nothing really, just about how much I fucked up."

"How'd you do that? What happened to me isn't your fault."

"It's partially my fault I should've known that Kaelie would do something to you."

"How were you supposed to know that she would do something?"

He stared at me like I was from another planet. "She saw the way I looked at you." Did that mean he looked at me differently than everyone else?

He seemed to read my mind, "Clary, I may not know you very well but from the moment I saw you I liked you right a way."

"I felt the same."

"I saw the way Jonathan looked at you that first day and every other time I saw him looking at you. I know he loves you more than a sister, but I think he's starting to accept that you guys may not have a chance to be together." He sat down on the bed and took my hands, the others stop talking in order to eavesdrop, but it didn't matter it was only me and Jace right now.

"He loves you and I didn't want to interfere, but my feelings are pulling me towards you. Clary I like you." He looked at me, searching for an answer.

"I like you too Jace." I reached up and hugged him, he hugged me back.

A voice yelled across the room, "Really?! A hug?! No kiss?!" I looked over to the group and it was Magnus who said it. I threw a pillow at him, then looked back to Jace. He lifted his head in question, I shook my head, I wasn't ready yet.

The door opened and Jonathan walked in. He looked at us then started walking over to the bed. "I got you some starbucks and a scone too."

"Oh thanks," I smiled at him. He glanced to Jace then back to me and then walked away, out the door without saying anything. Simon walked in before Jonathan closed the door.

"Oh, Clary you're awake!" Simon ran over to me and gave me a bone crushing hug. "Sorry I didn't visit earlier, my mom made me go home and finish my science project before I could go anywhere. I just came from band practice."

"That's cool. Magnus when can I leave this dreaded place?"

Magnus rolled his eyes, "You could probably leave in an hour or two."

"Ok, everyone we are going to lunch at the mall together today. Then we are going to see a movie tonight. Magnus you are coming too, I don't care if I have to drag you."

"I wasn't going to argue with you, I'd never win." I laughed and so did everyone else. This was now my new extended family.

What do you think should happen next?
