Simon was sitting backstage at the Alto Bar waiting for the rest of the band to arrive. Isabelle, Clary and Jace were going to arrive at 5:30 when the gig actually started. He had asked Alec to come but he had plans with Magnus which Simon decided not to ask about.
Since he was alone he was reading a book about demonology that he had picked up from the library in the institute the night before. It had been around 2 months since Magnus had used the spell to bring back Simons memories. Every night for those months he had remembered his dreams about the shadow world.
He didn't remember even half of the stuff he used to, that was why he read whenever he had a spare minute. He needed to train and learn if he wanted to survive the ascension that was in 1 month.
"What you reading?" Simon heard. Seeing Eric in front of him he quickly slammed the book and put it in his bag before Eric could make any sense of the title.
"Nothing, just studying for a test on Monday" Simon replied hastily.
"Whatever you say" Eric said as he started to unpack his drums. Simon was still sat down.
"You gonna help or what?"Eric asked.
"Im quite enjoying just watching thanks" Simon said smirking.
"Fine. You better set up and tune your bass, and don't expect any help."Eirc said as he started to take the drums onto the stage. Kirk and Matt showed up and they started playing.
Around 5 minutes in Simon spotted Izzy, Jace and Clary sitting at a table. Izzy looked up at him and waved, smiling. Simon smiled back but was to busy with his bass to wave. They played for another hour before they finished and packed up.
"Hey" he said climbing down from the stage with his bass on his back to go and sit with the shadowhunters.
"Hiya, you guys sounded great" Clary said as he sat down. A woman came over to their table to take drink orders. Simon ordered a large coke, Clary a lemonade, Izzy a Diet coke and Jace just had water.
"Hiya, whos this?" Kirk said coming over with the rest of the band.
"Hi i'm Izzy and this is Jace and Clary. Were Simons friends" Isabelle said with a smile that could make anyone fall in love with her.
"Cool I haven't seen you around, what school do you go to?" Eric asked.
"Oh, we're home schooled" Clary said joining the conversation.
"What you guys going to do now then?" Simon asked the shadowhunters.
"I was wondering if you wanna go grab some coffee" Izzy said. This was code for Lets go do some training.
"Yeah lets do that" Simon said. "I'll see you guys at school on Monday" Simon said to the others.
"Bye dude" Matt said. When Simon looked back through the window he saw Eric making a love heart shape that he assumed went around him and Izzy. Simon rolled his eyes and they made there way to the institute.
"Heres some more books" Izzy said slamming a huge stack of around 6 books down onto the desk that released a huge cloud of dust. Simon sneezed and looked at the books with his mouth wide open.
"What?" Izzy asked skimming through more books, adding them to the pile when she found a one that would be useful.
"You expect me to read all of these in a week!?" Simon asked.
"Well yeah" Izzy replied still looking through books.
"How am I meant to carry them all home, and how am I meant to hide them from my mom and sister, im sure they won't want me reading books about demons and shadowhunters" Simon said staring up at her.
"Good point" She said coming to sit next to Simon.
"You know when you ascend you will have to come and stay here in the institute if you choose not to got to the shadowhunter acadamy in Alicante" Izzy pointed out.
"You will have to tell your mom someday"
"Well I thought mundanes weren't aloud to know about shadowhunters" Simon said.
"In special cases like this its ok, your becoming a shadowhunter, you wern't born one, your family deserve to know, you should tell them as soon as possible" Izzy said looking up at Simon with pleading eyes.
"OK I'll tell her" Simon finally said giving up, if it made Izzy happy it made him happy. Looking down at his watch Simon stood up and grabbed the stack of books. He was surprised he could carry it. Izzy must have seen his surprised expression as she said
"Thats what training does to you" and she laughed
"Well I can probabley come over on Monday after school if you wanna meet up for coffee" Simon suggested.
"Yeah I can meet you at the school"Izzy said. As Simon left the room he heard Izzy shout to him
"Tell your family, the earlier you do the easier it will be!" Simon sighed and left the institute.
When he arrived at his house he took a deep breath before stepping inside.
