Thank you all for the reviews and follows! ENJOY!
Jon's POV
The last thing that I had seen was Sebastian's fist connecting with my face. Then everything was black.
The blackness consumed me. Surrounded me like a blanket of complete void.
When I woke up I saw Clary and Jace waiting by my bed huddled in a hug.
I wasn't in my bed though. I was in a hospital bed. That lunatic must have knocked me out cold.
Clary looked like she had been crying. I couldn't blame her for that. Not after what happened tonight with Sebastian.
Sebastian.
His name made me more angry than I have felt in a long time. A rage that took over my body. It burned in my soul.
How the HELL could he do that to Clary. To me! We were best friends. He said that he cared about Clary and that he would respect that I wanted him to stay away from her.
But like a true dick. He didn't.
I was contemplating how I was going to kill Sebastian when Clary saw that I was awake.
"JON! You..you're awake!" she cried throwing her arms around me so tightly I could barely breath.
I wrapped my arms around her trying not to disturb my IV.
"Yes Clary I'm awake."
"It's good to have you back man" Jace said smiling brightly at me.
"How long was I out... and where is Alec and everyone else?" I asked rubbing my sore head.
"Not long, but at least an hour, and Alec took Izzy and Simon to their houses. They were here for a little bit, but Izzy was crazy drunk" Jace said helping me sit up
"Damn. And an hour fuck. I gotta get up, and beat the SHIT out of Sebastian." I said trying to get out of bed.
"I couldn't agree more, but you need to rest for now. Plus we are still waiting on your CT scan results" Jace said pushing me back into my bed.
"Yeah and I'm not letting either of you go after that creature." Clary said getting me a glass of water.
"Clary. We are not about to let him get away for this" Jace protested.
"And I'm not going to let you guys get hurt just because of me!" She said with a stomp.
I could tell that they had already had a "discussion" about this while I was unconscious.
"Clary, I told you. Jon and I can protect ourselves if we stand together." Jace said softly trying convince her that together we are stronger than Sebastian.
"Jace you and Jon are NOT going after Sebastian! End of discussion." she said storming out of the room with tears in her eyes
"Clary!" Jace and I both called after her, but she didn't come back.
"Well that's what I get for dating a very self sufficient girl like Clary huh?" Jace said sitting down next to me.
"You should have seen her as a child" I said laughing.
I knew Clary. She would cool down and come back, but there was no changing her mind when she had made her decision about something.
"What are we going to do about Sebastian. We can't just let him walk away with no scars" I said
"No, but Clary was clear. No going after Sebastian." Jace said worried about what Clary had said.
"You are going to let him get away with this?" I said shocked at what he was saying
"No, but what can we do!" he said getting up and pacing around
"We have to make him pay for what he did" I said with an evil grin.
"What did you have in mind" Jace said with a smile
Clary's POV
I knew that Jace wanted to make Sebastian pay, but I wouldn't be able to take it if he got hurt. I was barely keeping it together after what happened to Jon.
I didn't care what happened to me it was Jon that I was worried about. Jon could still have swelling in the brain.
I know storming off was a childish, but I couldn't even think about Jace getting hurt. I was tearing up with just the thought.
I sat down on the floor by the elevators to gather my thoughts. After a while a nurse came over to me to see if I was okay.
"Yeah. I'm..i'm fine" I said wiping my tears from my eyes
"Are you here visiting anyone" she asked sweetly
"Yeah. My brother Jon. Jonathan Fairchild" I said getting up.
Saying Jonathan made my tongue feel weird. No one has called him that in over 10 years.
"Oh I'm his nurse. My name is Tessa Carstairs" She said while helping me up
"Oh, thank you. Do you by chance have his CT scan results?"
"Actually I do.. The test shows that there is no permanent damage to his head, and that he probably just has a severe concussion." she said handing me Jon's chart.
After looking it over I handed it back to her. I was about to go and tell the guys the good news when my mother walked off the elevator.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask bitterly.
"Excuse me! I came here because I got a call saying my SON was in the hospital." she said
"Jon doesn't want to SEE you mother!"
"Well to damn bad! Where is he?" she asked the nurse who looked extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't tell her. Please Tessa" I begged her.
Tessa looked as uncomfortable as a person can be. I felt sorry that I was putting her in this difficult position, but I know Jon does not want to talk to her.
"I'm sorry mam. I'm going to need Mr. Fairchild's consent to give you that information." she said a bit scared of my mother at this point.
"I am his mother. And I demand to see my son!" my mother yelled.
"HE DOES NOT WANT TO SEE YOU BITCH!" I screamed before running to Jon's room and shutting the door before my mother could get into the room.
"What's wrong Clary?" Jace asked running over to me very worried.
"Guys. We have a problem"
Jon's POV
"You called her WHAT" I asked trying not to laugh
"I called her a bitch.." Clary said looking guilty
My sister! God she was my hero at this point.
"Clary it is going to be okay!" Jace said hugging her tightly
"Okay really. Guys I am still in the room" I said stopping them from making out right before my eyes.
We heard a knocking at the door and my mother behind it yelling for us to open the door.
"Okay so what are we going to do about her?" Jace asked
"We could… I really don't know what we should do. I really don't want to talk to her." I said
"We could call the nurses station and get them to get her out of here" Jace suggested.
"Yeah!" Clary said pushing the nurses station button
"This is Tessa how can I help you today Mr. Fairchild" Tessa said.
"Well you can call me Jon. Tessa" I said with my lady killer voice
"Very funny Jon, but I'm married. Sorry" she said sweetly
"Damn, well... worth a try" I said.
"Okay now. I'm in the room" Clary said slapping me lightly on the arm.
"Anyway. We were wondering if you could escort our lunatic of a mother away from us" Clary said with her sunshine voice.
"Are you sure. She seems a bit upset after what happened in the hallway" Tessa said
"Yeah well she deserves it." I said.
Which she did. She choose an abusive man over her own kids.
I never told Clary the extent of his abuse. I told her bits and pieces, but only about the emotional abuse.
She didn't need to know that he used to hit mom and me on a weekly basis. She was only 2 when he left and she never had to deal with it. And I didn't want her to have to.
He was a monster and my mother couldn't even stand up for her own son. She choose him over us, and I was in no mood to forgive her let alone talk to her.
I was done with her.
"Yes please get her out of here" I said just before my mom got a janitor to open the door for her and she walked in.
Clary's POV
"Jon sweetie! Are you okay!" my mother said throwing her arms around Jon.
Jon was not okay with this.
"Get the Fuck off of me!" Jon yelled
"Jon. Honey what happened" she said letting him go looking disappointed at my brothers reaction.
"I got into a fight. What the hell do you care!" Jon said looking absolutely disgusted.
"Jon. Of course I care! I'm your mother" she said
I couldn't hold in my laughter at this point.
"Mother. Really, because where the HELL have you been? Mother?!" I said laughing
"You haven't LET me be around Clary!" she said tearing up.
"WHY do you think that is! WHY MOM" I screamed.
Jace grabbed my hand and held it tightly. Just having a connection with him made me calmer.
"Clary baby just.. Just let me.. Just let me explain." she said with tears running down her face.
"Explain what. That you choose him. OVER US" Jon said so blind with rage that he was calm.
"Guys.. I'm.. I'm.. I'm so sorry!" she said crying
"Sorry. For what. Choosing an abusive man over your own children." Jon said very calmly.
I knew that my father was a bad person, but abusive. Now how could I even look my mother in the eyes.
"Jon… Jon please.. I'm.. I'm so sorry. I'll.. I'll." she tried saying before Jon interrupted her.
"STOP!... Just stop. I'm done" Jon said pushing the call button over and over
"Get out." Jace said pointing her to the door.
We were all done with her, and it was time that she left.
I hope you enjoy your day!~~AS
