Alright, it took you guys two days, rather than one to give me 9 reviews BUT, you guys did it so, now it's Bonus Chapter Time!
I can't believe I have 41, reviews, first of all, so thanks! I'm gonna reply to you guys as soon as I update this.
Secondly, I had an anonymous review for Chapter 1 that said that I negatively displayed Adam Lambert? I'm not sure when I did this so, if any of you guys could clarify this for me? Btw, I actually like Adam Lambert. I'm not obsessed or anything because I'm into more alternative rock and indie stuff but, I love Fever and For Your Entertainment and I just think he seems like a really cool person in general. He pushes the envelope, which is kinda exactly what society needs right now, in my opinion.
So, yeah. I don't harbor any bad feeling for Adam Lambert. I completely respect him and I even own a few of his songs. Also, he is highly attractive, even if I am a girl and he is gay. Which, is totally the case.
"Alec" Jace's voice says on the other end of the phone.
I roll my eyes, despite the fact that, yes, this is Alec's phone so, yes, theoretically, he would normally be correct in this assumption. "Jace. It's Magnus."
Jace scoffs. "Wow, you're willing to stoop to all levels, huh? Stealing Alec's phone, are we?"
I roll my eyes yet again. "What? No-" Of course, he cuts me off. He lacks any respect whatsoever.
"I guess I can't really blame you. I mean, you are aware that you're out of Alec's league and someone else will come along, right?" Jace says, using that condescending tone of his.
"Are you done, Goldilocks?" I say, already tiring of this conversation.
"Funny. That's nearly identical to what Clary said last night." I have to laugh at that because Jace doesn't seem to get that that joke is actually on him.
"Anyway, I was just calling you to tell you that your brother's sick." I say.
"I told you he'd get tired of you eventually. Not only did he get tired, you sickened him. Which explains why you took his phone- Petty revenge." Jace says, still babbling senselessly. I can hint concern for his brother in his voice, though.
"No, it isn't because of me-" Jace, as usual, keeps talking.
"Denial isn't only a river in Egypt, GlitterBoy." Jace says. Huh. I actually like that name. A lot. I'll have to tell Alec later, when he's feeling better.
"Whatever, Blondie. Anyway, I think he has some sort of flu or something so, I thought I'd tell you guys." I respond.
"Then you should bring him to the Institute. He'd probably get better more quickly here." Jace says, confirming his concern.
But, I can't help laughing at him. Yeah, right. How in the world could Alec get better there? He's obviously the one that keeps the house in order and keeps Jace and Isabelle in line.
I laugh at the absurdity of throwing him into that mess.
"No. There's absolutely no way that I'm bringing him to the Institute." I say, with finality prominent in my voice.
"Why? We're his family. I think we can take care of him while he has the flu well enough." Jace scoffs into the phone.
"You guys would just stress him out, that's why." I retort.
"No we wouldn't. He'd let him rest." Jace tries again.
"Don't lie, yes you would." I say in a voice that I know is condescending.
"No they-" Alec tries to but in but, I raise my hand, to signal that he should stop talking. He's wasting his energy.
I also make an eating motion with my hand.
"What?" Alec says, staring at me with a blank expression on his face. I do it again and he finally seems to get what I'm hinting at.
He rolls his eyes, which must make him feel dizzy again because he looks disoriented for a while. I pull him closer to me.
I tune back into whatever Jace has been ranting about. "-you can't just ignore your clients completely. While you work, Alec could be here. Duh." Jace says.
I cut him off. "My stupid clients can wait, Jace, you know that."
Jace makes a sound confirming his agreement. I mean, really, nothing's as important as Alec's health. Especially my whiny clients.
"Fine. I guess I'll uphold the Institute in Alec's place." Jace says. I laugh again because none of the Lightwood siblings ever really listen to one another. Even with Alec, it's utter chaos.
"Alright. Make sure to keep Izzy out of trouble." I say. Izzy shares a fabulous fashion sense with me, which definitely bonds us together.
Then, I remember something. "And try not to get yourself killed without Alec there, alright?" I say. That could definitely put a damper on Alec's mood, the death of his parabatai.
"Aw, Sir Sparkles-A-Lot, I knew you really cared for me." Jace says using his fake innocent voice.
"No, Goldilocks, it's just that it would prolong Alec's recovery. That's all."
"Don't lie, GlitterBoy. You're totally hot for me. Everyone knows." Jace is full of himself, as usual.
"Oh, you wish, Golden Boy." I scoff, laughing at how outlandish his comment is.
"Don't deny it, Magnus." Jace says, laughing.
"Oh, whatever. Not everyone's in love with you, as they are with me." I say, gesturing to my magnificent self even if he can't see it. Alec does so, I wink at him.
"Even though I don't feel the same way, I have no doubt in my mind that you'd drop everything and I do mean everything, to save me if I were dying." Jace retorts arrogantly. "Even Alec." He adds, drily.
"I so would not!" I exclaim. "I told you. I'm busy so, if you get killed, you'll just have to find another warlock." I say, shaking my head but, smiling because the odds are, no other warlock would heal him. And, I only heal him because of Alec.
Jace sobers up, finally. Hey, can I talk to Alec?" He asks.
"He's just now eating so do you think you could call back later?" I say, not wanting to prolong Alec's intake of cheesy potato soup.
"I guess can risk the horrible outcome of you answering the phone to talk to my ailing brother later." Jace says stupidly.
"Why, thank you for thinking of the well being of others, Jace/ Congratulations." I say, overly sarcastically.
Truth is, I'm kinda touched by Jace's protectiveness of his brother. It reminds me of my own brother, Lysander.
That reminds me. I haven't talked to him in a few days…
"I am merely a charitable creature." Jace says, humbly. Not. "Congratulatory sentiments are not necessary, thank you." Jace remarks. Talk about a humongous head. Jeez.
Before I can respond, Jace says, "Take care of Alec, alright? He's a pain in the ass sometimes but, hey, what can you do?" Definitely reminding me of Lysander, despite the fact that Jace is actually younger than Alec.
I chuckle. "Okay, I will. Bye." I hang up. I really should introduce Lysander to Alec. I think they'd get along fairly well. Especially since Alec has a high tolerance for jack asses *cough* Jace.
That wasn't as good as I planned it in my head but, the real next chapter should be up tomorrow. Hope you guys enjoyed!
Also, can someone point out the Adam Lambert thing, please?
Oh, and the more you guys review, the earlier tomorrow the next chapter will be up.
