I don't know how I am going to write this chapter.
I JUST WANT TO SAY I AM EXTREMELY SORRY SINCE THE LAST TIME I UPDATED THIS STORY. I HAVE BEEN BUSY, AND HONESTLY, I JUST FORGOT.
Clary POV
I could tell that Jonathan has been watching me because he pulled me aside today.
"What's up, Clary? I've been noticing you not feeling so well lately. Is everything ok?" Jon asks me.
I turn to look at him. "Yeah, I guess everything's fine," I say with a shrug.
"It's not." he grins and pats me on the shoulder. "If you don't trust me, at least tell Simon or Izzy. They'll know what to say and do."
"You've got a point. I might talk to them when I'm ready." I say.
"Are you coming out in any sort of way?" Jon asks jokingly.
I manage a laugh. "No,"
He laughs at me. "Just checking."
"But really," I say in a more serious tone. "I'm going to talk to Simon and Izzy, I think they can help."
"Good," Jon says with a smile. "They'll always listen to you, no matter what."
...
I decide I want to tell my friends about this at lunch. I write a note to Simon and slip it to him during homeroom. I see him show it to Isabelle, and she nods and gives me a thumbs up.
Simon POV
I had my doubts about what this was about. Either she was going to confess her love for Jace, or something completely different. I finish eating and head to the library.
"Hey, Si," Clary says to me in a saddened way. "Thanks for coming. I'm sorry for taking away half your lunch."
"Oh, no problem," I say, hugging her.
"Is Izzy coming?" Clary asks.
"Oh, yeah. She's just finishing her lunch up." I say. Yes, Izzy was finishing her lunch up, and also telling Team Clace what she thought was happening.
Just then, Izzy walks into the library. She heads over to us.
"So Clary what's up?" she says.
"I think that I'm getting jealous of Jace and Kaelie. I mean... ever since they started dating, I was thinking that I would be fine, and thank god Jace moved on. But these last couple months... I don't know."
Izzy and I share a glance. This is exactly what we'd been hoping for. Finally, everything would come true.
"Yeah, I've noticed..." I say. I look at Izzy. She nods at Clary.
"It's just that I think my feelings for Jace have grown a lot more than it used to be..." Clary explains with tears in her eyes. "I never thought I'd ever come to like him."
"Clary," Izzy says. "Simon and I... and a few others had already guessed what was going on. We saw that at that time that Jace was- and still is with Kaelie, you've become jealous. Have our guesses been correct?"
"I guess so," Clary says. "I guess I sort of have a crush on him. But, I'm not really sure."
I look at Izzy and grin. There would be so much to talk about later.
Izzy POV
I texted Kaelie the news.
I: It's confirmed
K: what is?
I: Clary likes Jace
K: FINALLY
I: Wow I'm surprised you're excited
K: yeah, ha same
K: I guess I don't like Jace anymore. I've moved on.
K: do I break up with him now?
I: Not yet. Pretend you like him for now.
I: Call me.
I: Let's make a plan.
