Jonathan's POV

"Mommy! Please don't leave!" Clary cried. "I need you, don't go.

"I'm sorry baby. I don't have a choice. You know I'm getting sicker, I need help. Daddy won't let me so I have to leave but I still love you." My mother said and then she turned to me. "Jonathan my precious boy , I love you take care of Clary for me" . She then hugged me and fled the house.

"Mommy come back….." I whispered, but she never came back.

I jolted awake with the familiar cold sweat, I had the dream again, the one where my mother left us. Permanently.

You know that feeling when you want to hate someone, but you can't? Well that's how I feel about my mother leaving, but with my father I can't just bring myself to feel that feeling of hate, then I would be just like my father.

My father is a interesting man, and apparently there was a time that he was decent. He used to care for us until he found out our mother was sick when Clary and I were 7. He was devastated, he blamed us, he blamed my mother, he blamed the world. He thought that he could help our mother better than the doctors could so he tested on her, injected her with strange things and fed her what he believed was medicine. He would beat Clary and I because he thought we were the reason that she didn't get better.

"John?" Clary's small tired voice asks as she slowly creeps into my room.

"Mhm what's up Clare Bear?"I asked, she looks worried.

"I heard you scream, I wanted to make sure that you were ok. Nightmare I'm guessing?" I just nod. She climbs into my bed with me, then I fall into a (thankfully) dreamless sleep.


Clary's POV

John fell thankfully asleep, I know he keeps on having the same nightmare, I just don't know which one what

it's about.

I soon fall asleep and dream of a flash of blonde hair and gorgeous amber gold eyes.

Bzzzz bzzzzz bzzzzzz

Johns alarm goes off at 5:30 on the dot and I can see the sun shining through the cracks in the blinds.

"Go back to sleep sun." I mumble, but then grudgingly wake up and turn off the alarm and stretch.

"John." I say quietly, nudging my sleeping brother awake.

"Mmm sleep". Was his only response.

"Wake up sleeping beauty!" I say more enthusiastically while shaking the bed and he starts to wake up.

"We have to get ready for school", I say.

Oh I forgot to tell you about school right? So basically because my 'father' forced us to move from LA to New York in the middle of the Fall, we have to start school in the middle of the semester. Everyone will already have their groups and John and I will be alone.

I exit John's room and venture to my own room across the hall.

Since my 'father' is a cheap skate, it's plain white with bland basic furniture like a white twin sized bed, dresser, and etc. I open my dresser and pick out my outfit of the day and decide on black ripped jeans and a white Fall Out Boy crop top. I put on my outfit and then pull on black high tops and beanie.

I then quickly walk to the bathroom before John claims it for the rest of the morning. I quickly brush my teeth, put on some mascara and lip gloss and surrender the bathroom to John.

Ten minutes later John meets me in the kitchen wearing regular jeans and a Deadpool shirt, and we make coffee then bolt to catch the bus but no before leaving breakfast for our 'father' that was passed out on the couch.

After running to make the bus we pay the driver and arrive at our destination.

Jonathan Shadowhunter Academy was what the bolded sign read. John and I both slowly inhaled and braced ourselves for what was to come.

"It could be worse." I say.

"Yeah, we could be homeschooled...by our 'father". John replied back.

I shuddered at the thought and we go through the gigantic front doors and are immediately met with the familiar feeling nervousness. There were hordes of kids bustling around the halls. Chatter erupted from every direction. John and I follow the signs to the office so we can get our schedules and locker numbers.

John and I have lockers next to eachother, 604 and 605. We also have the same schedules but I have art 4th and he has journalism.

Together we go to our lockers and start to put our books away. Suddenly a very familiar blonde opens the locker next to mine.

"Jace?" I say. He turns towards me, recognition flashes through his eyes. An arrogant smile appears on his face.

"Ah Spitfire, I didn't know you were going to school here." He says. John speaks before I can say anything.

"Who are you?" John says obviously confused. I quickly answer before Jace can, John can't know about Permanent Ink.

"I went for coffee yesterday and bumped into him, literally." Jace looks at me confused but doesn't say a word, shockingly. Jon just nods.

"Let see your schedules." Jace demands. We hand him our schedules and look them over.

"You guys have the same classes as me except fourth I have Music." He says. He motions for us to follow him to first period, we follow like lost puppies. Jon and I have never been people persons. Not into have close friends other then each other. He leads us to math. We enter the classroom and all eyes are in us. The teacher points to the two open seats in the back between a girl with long black hair and a boy with black eyes and black hair.

"Hi, I'm Isabelle but everyone calls me Izzy, you must be new." The pretty girls says.

"Yeah, I'm Clary."

"Well being that your new I have a feeling that you don't have a lot of friends here so why don't you sit with me and my friends during lunch? Your boyfriend can come too if you would like." Boyfriend? What boyfriend?

"Um I would love to sit with you but I don't have a boyfriend, I don't know what you mean?"

"The boy that walked in with you? White hair dark eyes?"

"Oh, that's John, my twin brother."


*Lunch*

John and I followed Izzy into the cafeteria. We sat down at a table full of kids I knew and some I didn't.

"Hey guys ok this is John and Clary, they are twins and awesome and are going to sit with us from now on."

There was Jace, Maia, Jordan, Simon, Magnus, and Bat. There was also a guy named Alec that was Izzy brother and a girl named Daphne.

"So," Daphne says. She has a southern accent, honey gold hair and green eyes. "Tell us about your selves."

"What do you want to know?" John asks. Bad idea, everyone starts screaming out questions.

"Hey! Why don't we go around and you can all ask us a question?" I suggest. Simon goes first.

"Where are you from?"

"Seattle." John says. Then it's Izzy's turn.

"Are you guys single?"

"Yes" we both answer at the same time.

"You play any sports?" Asks Bat.

"I play football and soccer and Clary is wicked at softball." John answers making me blush.

It goes like this for the rest of lunch.


Finally we can go home! The day wasn't that bad but still. Valentine is going to be gone for a few days on a business trip so I'm going to 'Permanent Ink' tonight to see what it's like. Can't wait...
