"Say what?" I said, doing a double take. Jonathan's eyes were glazed, as if he were in a different world.
"Emil Pangborn used to work for dad. I saw him when Dad took me to work. He was his right hand man, actually. But he was never married. Pangborn got arrested and then, two months after, dad died. Pangborn escaped prison after two weeks," Jonathan said. I looked at him, absorbing all the information in.
"How did dad… I mean, Valentine die?" I asked. Jonathan shook his head, as if he were trying to clear something out of his head.
"He died in a mysterious fire in our country house," he said. I looked at him.
"We had a country house?" I asked, stupefied.
"Yes, we did," he said.
"Did they find him inside or…?" I broke off, as if I were trying to find the right words to say.
"They did… but he was so badly burned that no one could identify him," Jonathan said, slightly wincing. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay," I said, softly, standing up.
"No, it's all my fault. If I hadn't made dad mad, he wouldn't have died," he croaked, tears falling. I had never seen Jonathan cry before, and the view broke my heart that I hugged him, pressing his head on my chest. It was kind of awkward since he was much taller than I was, but I ignored that and stroked his white-blonde hair.
"It's not your fault," I said.
Jace and I was in our room. I was propped on the bed post, reading a book. Jace was watching some football game.
"Let's play a game," Jace said, suddenly. I looked up from the book I was reading.
"What kind of game?" I asked. Jace smiled.
"Knock Knock," he said. I looked at him.
"Who's there?" I said, putting my book on the nightstand and closing my lamp. Jace closed his too.
"Jace," he said. I looked at him. His golden eyes seemed luminous, like two stars in a dark sky.
"Jace who?" I asked. Jace leaned in closer, so close I could feel his hot breath fanning my face.
"Jace really wants something," he whispered, his hand slowly travelling up my dress.
"That has got to be worst joke ever," I said. I tried for a laugh, but it came out shaky. Jace reached to kiss me.
"Let's go to bed," he said, smiling, before he put the covers over our heads.
I awoke when someone threw the door open and laughed.
"So, this is what happened last night," I recognized Magnus' voice. I screamed and put the covers around myself. Jace woke up groggily.
"Your children are going to wake up soon and you might want to have some clothes on when they come. I know I would, at any rate, but I am well known to be remarkably shy," Magnus said, before leaving the room and closing the door. I sighed, before I got up from the bed.
The bitch came over today. It was the social services woman, Ms. Kinders (What an ironic name). She said she wanted to 'drop by' to 'check' on us, but I know that she'd probably planned it. Of course, when we told her why we canceled, she got mad and whiny. Then Jonathan came in and shooed her out of our house. Oh and did I mention how much I love my brother? Yeah, he's the most awesome brother ever. I felt my phone vibrate. The kids were over at my adoptive parents' house, so Jace and I pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. Well, with Simon, Alec and Magnus of course. Izzy had to go out. Jace went to the kitchen, while Alec and Magnus went upstairs. Simon put on the WII, before popping in Just Dance2014. He handed me a controller.
"You have gotta be kidding me," I said. Simon smiled.
"Yup," he said. I took it.
"It better not be... No, SIMON!" I screamed.
"Yup, Turn Up The Love SUMO VERSION!" he said, before he picked the first dancer for himself and the second one for me.
"NOOOOOO," I screamed out. As soon as the song came on and the characters came on, I started laughing. Simon was dancing and I just dropped to the ground in laughter. Simon looked at me, shaking his head.
"Get up!" he said. I laughed.
"It's just too funny!" I said. I wasn't laughing because the guys in the screen were fat (That would just be rude and offensive). I was laughing because of how they looked like on the screen dancing. Jace came out of the kitchen and looked at me on the floor before looking on the screen. He leaned against the wall, laughing.
"STOP IT!" Simon said, before Izzy opened the door and looked at me and Jace. We were laughing so hard that we had tears in our eyes.
"What did I miss?" she asked.
I tossed and turned in my sleep restlessly, before I got up from the bed. Jace was still asleep and I got out of bed quietly, trying my best not to wake him. I went downstairs and poured myself a glass of milk, trying to shake away the nightmare that had gripped me. My phone vibrated and I picked it up. It was a text from an unknown number. I opened it.
I'm watching you
So, there you go chapter eight. Sorry for updating so late. I just had all these tests and stuff, and I didn't get anytime. My next update will be on Friday hopefully. Also, can anyone suggest me to read any books or recommend me some funny parodies? My friend's birthday is coming up and I'm making her a funny video CD and buying her a book. Any suggestions? BYE!
