Hey guys! So I know I was supposed to post a chapter in FEB but, unfortunately, I was caught up with too many assignments and had to prep for my exams.

JON'S POV

I drop Clary at her apartment since I had to meet Sebastian. He had called me earlier to catch up and discuss a few projects. Now that I think about it maybe Seb and Clary can do a duet together to get Clary back in the spotlight. Back into the spotlight, I let out a humorless laugh while shaking my head, she would never have had to 'come back'into the spotlight if she had never met Jace. She would have thrived in the industry probably would have married someone who would have cherished her, had children but she met that egoistic prick who used her to get fame, exploited her love to get music deals and when she became the competition made her sacrifice everything so that she would not over shadow his career, I mean what nonsense. I was getting myself worked up so I turned up the radio to get my mind of things which probably was a bad choice because they played Jace's bands latest hit Animals. When Clary called me crying and telling me what happened my heart broke for her she deserves so much better, anything to do with Jace makes me want to punch a wall or better yet his face, I mute the audio and drive to Taki's.

Sebastian was already waiting for me. He waved at me when he saw me.

"Jon! Long time bro," he gets up to give me a bro hug.

"Seriously Seb? We met last week," I roll my eyes returning the hug.

"Exactly my point Jon, you can't tell me that you did not miss your best friend in the whole universe."

"Right!"I roll my eyes again laughing.

"You know maybe if you roll your eyes again you can check if you have a brain back there,"

"Wow! Sebastian how jobless are you for you to Google for comebacks," I ask amused by his stupidity.

"Oh shut up! Not everyone is as witty as you and Clare-bear are. Speaking of Clare-bear, how is she?"

"Clary is uh…doing okay, she is going to make a comeback."

"Are you serious? That is amazing! Actually, she can help me with one of my songs, it's a duet and I was just thinking the other day that Clare-bear would be the perfect person to sing this duet with."

"Really? I was thinking about you guys doing a collab to push her into the spotlight. Great I will inform Clary about it,"

"You know what…let me tell her, besides I haven't spoken to her for almost a year now."

"Yeah, sure! Here take my phone and call her," I hand him my phone while the waitress places my coconut pancakes and coffee and Seb's grilled sandwich.

As I dig in my heavenly pancakes I watch Sebastian smile uncontrollably as the phone rang. I knew Seb had a crush on Clary when we were young but Clary never saw it and she began dating Jace. I felt bad for Seb. Now I kinda wish Clary ended up with Sebastian but Clary was really happy with Jace and that time I thought Jace treated Clary well, guess I was wrong. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Sebastian speak.

"Clare-Bear! Guess who? "Sebastian looked as if a deaf person hearing for the first time or like a kid on Christmas.

"Wow, I am glad to know you have not forgotten me, love," I raise my eyebrows at how forward he is being.

"Well Jon decided to meet up and told me that you were planning to come back from your retirement, So, I wanted to discuss about a project. Plus I wanted to hear your sweet voice."I roll my eyes at how openly he was flirting with my sister.

"So, I wanted to know if you are free tonight to discuss the project and catch up,"

"Yes!"Sebastian screamed loudly as if his favorite football team won the world cup.

"Bye," Seb could not stop smiling; it started to creep me out.

"So I am guessing Clary said she'd meet you?"

"Yeah! Tonight at 7:00, dinner. Wow! I missed her. I am so happy she is coming back and I am sure her fans will go nuts when they hear the news. Why did she decide to comeback?"

"I had visited her last week telling her to come back when I found out what a jerk Jace was to her and she had fallen sick a month after he left for tour, he didn't call her for 4 months while he was on tour with his band and then he returned yesterday completely ignoring her and today morning he kissed his personal assistant who apparently stayed over while Clary was in the other room and she caught him plus she realized that she had a musical talent that she should never let go to waste."

"Are you serious?"Sebastian yelled out. He looked like he was ready to murder Jace, quite frankly I don't mind I'd help him hide his body.

"Yeah, I wanted to kill him but I promised Clary that I wouldn't which I regret making."

"How is she holding up? She sounded fine for a person who went through all that shit today morning and the past couple of months,"

"Clary is tough but every person has their breaking point. I know she is in a lot of pain but I don't know how to help her. Maybe when she starts working on her music she may feel better,"

"Clary is such an amazing person. You know when we were young I had a major crush on your sister,"

"Yeah I figured when I caught you staring at her every time she passed by and by the way you would always smile when you see her or her picture, also you looked like you were planning on murdering Jace every time Clary and Jace kissed and when they got married you looked so broken-hearted," Sebastian looked shocked and embarrassed. It was comical to see his expression.

"Yo…you knew?"

"Yup, I think everyone did except Clary,"

"When she was at the altar I wished it was me standing opposite her and not Jace, I can't believe Jace would let an amazing women like Clary go. If I were him I would cherish her every day and thank God every night for letting me come back to her."

"I know, She deserves someone who will cherish her."We fall into a minute of silence thinking about the pain Clary is in but I decide to break it to change the subject

"Okay let's forget the whole Clary and Jace incident and discuss about why you wanted to meet me,"

"Right! So I just finished recording a couple of songs and my label wanted me to do a duet for one of the songs and that's where Clary comes in I wanted to discuss it with you to try and convince her to do it but now that's solved. I know she would be perfect for it, so I will discuss the details of that with her in detail tonight."Our meeting about various projects continued for almost an hour and a half. After the meeting, I drove back home. Hopefully, Clary is okay, that reminds me I need to get Jem's phone number and speak to Jem about the divorce procedures. God, what a mess."I sigh frustrated with what happened.

I was stuck in traffic when my phone rang; I answered the call to be greeted by Mom

"Hey, Mom!"

"Hey, honey! I just spoke to Clary to see how she was holding up and heard what happened today morning. Jon, I am worried about her, after the baby incident she fell into depression and was slowly recovering but this may push her over the edge, please keep an eye on her and make sure she takes her meds. I will be visiting next week after the art show."

"Yeah Mom, don't worry I'll take care of her, oh and could you give me Jem's phone number? I need to speak to him about the divorce procedure,"

"Clary already asked for the number, I think she is speaking to him right now,"

"Okay,"

"I got to go help Luke, he is wrestling with his tie."I laugh at my mom's comment because she is not exaggerating about it Luke can't tie his tie no matter how many times we teach him, he will end up wrestling with it, hence he only wears a tie for really important meetings or events.

"I love you, honey! Take care, bye,"

"Love you, Mom! Bye"

I know Clary is strong. No matter what happens

I will make sure she gets out of this mess.

Hey, guys I know I was supposed to update the story earlier in Feb but I was held up with my exams and some other problems to deal with. Hopefully, I will update as often as possible.

Thanks for all your reviews, follows and Favs
