CHAPTER FIVE

Running
That's what i am doing right at this very moment
I'm not running for my life or anything, i'm just running, i have came to realize, that running, is a good way to clear your mind. When i run, it feels like i am flying, like no one can ever get me cause i am so high up in the sky
There is this path behind Simons house that is good for running, he is supposed to be running with me, but i guess he gave up.
I stopped at one point, where there was trees all around me, knowing that somewhere in these trees there is a treehouse that Jon had built for me in Simon when we were little cause we wanted to know what being in a tree house felt like, he had help of course, but he was determined to get it done for us.
When i finally spotted it, was when Simon came running up to me out of breath and very sweaty
"I...Th...Thought you...said...light...jog?" i laughed at him as he leaned up against a tree, trying to catch his breath
"I did. I knew if i told you it was something different, you would have come"
"We went...around the damn property...at least 7 times" he snapped, i just rolled my eyes at him and about to tell him to stop being a baby, when i heard it
My sisters voice
I haven't seen or talked to them in a couple days since i found out who they really were. I'm not really scared anymore...just maybe a bit confused. I want to talk to someone about what i should do, but i cant tell Simon, not yet at least, he would have them arrested, they are still my family, and i wouldn't do anything to hurt me, and i know that they wouldn't do anything to hurt me, but...i just dont know what to do
Hearing my sisters voice, calling out my name as i heard her walking, made up my mind for me, a little bit, but i guess thats all that i needed.
"Over here!" i said and Simon looked at me with a proud smile, l giggled at his lameness.
"Clary..." I looked over at my sister, and not going to lie...
"Damn M, you look like shit." She laughed a little, but i was being serious, she had bags under her eyes, they looked big and puffy, like she was crying. I started to walk to her "What happened?"
She just looked at me for a minute "Um...My boyfriend, he had gotten hurt, and he is in the hospital, Jon has gone ballistic since you left, and...well you left" I went up to her and hugged her, she seemed like she needed.
"What happened to Jordan?" I asked once i pulled away, I had met Jordan a couple of times, and i knew that he loves my sister very much, and i know that Maia feels the same
She started to cry again "He was shot, and they dont think he is going to make it" i hugged her again, even though i was shocked
He was shot...I...What?
I couldn't form a sentence, but Simon sure knew how too
"Shot! What do you mean he got shot!?" he said
"Will you come home please, we really need you right now" she asked, i stared at her for a little bit
"...when we get home Maia, you and Jon have to tell me everything, and i mean everything, i cant take the lies anymore" She nodded her head before i can even finish
"We will tell you everything, i promise" I nodded my head
"And another thing" she looked at me with a knowing smile, then looked back at Simon, who was just standing there smiling...at a bird?
"Come on Si, you are coming with us" he looked at my sister and rolled his eyes
"Let me guess, I dont have a choice in the matter" he said, Maia shook her head no "Thought so"
