Mixed Up, Messed Up Triangle

Chapter 2: The Cry for Help!

Will's POV

"Jem, you didn't have to do that", I said, "It is me you are mad at not Tessa." Although I knew that that this was a big problem, I couldn't get rid of the happy expression on my face knowing that I kissed Tessa. I kissed her and she did not pull away. I kissed her and she kissed me back!

"And, you." He stated, still glaring at me, "how dare you kiss my fiancée?"

I had never seen Jem this angry before, not even after he found me at the opium den. "Jem I didn't mean to, well of course I meant to. But it was not what it looked like?" I stuttered, my smile disappearing from my face. But whether it was from cold or me being actually afraid of Jem I will never know. My guess is the latter.

"It was not what it looks like?" Jem stated, looking incredulous. "So you weren't kissing her?"

"Well, I was, but I can explain the kiss," I said. I really couldn't but I am a trained Shadowhunter, I know how to lie. Even if it is to my best friend.

"How could you do this to me?" Jem fumed, pacing around the library. "When we told you about our engagement, you said you were happy for us! Was it all a falsehood?"

"What was I supposed to tell you," I almost yelled back. "That I loved her! What would have happened? Would you have called off the engagement? I knew you loved her and that is why I did not mention the fact that every time I saw you together, I died a little inside." My voice dropped so the last few words were barely audible. I knew as soon as I said it; there was no going back from this.

"Will," he said, "I know you love her. Did you think I was blind? I saw how your eyes followed her whenever you both were in the same room, your happy smile whenever she talked to you or when you said her name; but I never thought you would stoop so low and try to steal her from me!"

"James," I started, but was interrupted.

"Stop, I can't even look at you,"Jem said, his voice dripping with anger, but behind the anger I heard hurt. "I don't want to speak to you right now. Or maybe ever again"

"Are you saying you do not want to be friends anymore?" I whispered, shocked. This could not be happening, Jem my oldest and best friend. My parabatai! The only person I let inside my walls during those terrible 5 years of being closed off to the outside, to happiness –to love- due to that awful and disgusting demon. I just can't lose my best friend. I could not live without Jem.

"No" Jem said his voice as cold as ice. "I am saying that I am not even sure if I want to be parabatai anymore." With that he stormed out of the room, leaving me feeling alone, depressed. Without Tessa and Jem I am nothing.

Nothing.

Tessa's POV

By the time I had reached the room, tears were running freely down my face. I slammed the door and practically leaped onto the bed. I lost them both in one day, I thought. How could I have possibly thought that I could marry Jem and hide from him my feelings for Will?

I am not quite sure how much time had lapsed but by the time I had ceased crying the sky had turned a blue-black color, the sure sign of the beginning of the end of another day in Hell.

I knew that I was not going to be able to sleep for a while. I kept seeing Jem say that our relationship was over with that disgusted look on his face. Knowing that I could never get back what I lost that day. I knew I was not going to go and join the others at dinner time; it would be too painful to see both Will and Jem right now. So I picked up the book "The Wide, Wide World". Hoping that the words of Elizabeth Wetherell would cheer me up.

I slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

I was awoken by a soft cotton cloth being forced into my mouth. I opened my eyes, and to my dismay I was surrounded by automatons and Mortmain. My feet and hands were in the process of being bound. I knew I could not escape. I tried to scream, but no noise was able to come out. I am going to die, I thought, I am going to die and no one will be able to hear me scream. I am going to die without ever seeing Jem or Will again. A slow tear drifted down my face.

"Cry all you want Miss Gray", Mortmain sneered "You are mine, now and always!" He leaned in and wiped the tear off of my face. I cringed. I was slowly lifted onto the shoulders of automatons and was carried away towards the broken window.

Will, Jem, I love you. Forever and Always.

Jem's POV

I did not go to dinner last night. I couldn't stand to see both Will and Tessa. Just the thought made the hurt inside me flame up again. I drifted off to sleep gradually only to be awakened by incessant pounding on my door.

Who would be awake this early in the morning? I thought. I slowly lifted myself from the bed and trudged to the door. I opened it only to see the scared and worried blue eyes of William.

"What do you want Will?" I said, making sure the anger in my voice masked the hurt and dismay at seeing him so scared. "Is there anything so important that you had to wake me up so early into the day?" I was still very angry at him and yet I was fearful of his response. That is because I know Will, and he wouldn't have woken me up so early unless it was urgent.

Then Will said the four words that could make my heart stop "Jem, Tessa is Missing."
