Clary's POV:
Once we got to the hospital the paramedics pulled the bed out of the ambulance and started to rush Jace inside. My heart was wrapped in a thick blanket of fear and worry.
"Get him to resus!" One of the doctors shouted as Jace was wheeled through.
"This is Jace Lightwood, he had a fever this morning but it got worse. His temperature rose and his blood pressure increased..." One of the paramedics said, quickly and calmly. Jace was pushed into a room with machines and wires in it. Some one tried to give him a shot of anesthetiser but he was thrashing too much. This wasn't good.
"What's happening?" I asked.
"Who are you to the patient?" A doctor asked and Jace screamed.
"His girlfriend!" I replied and rushed to Jace's side, grabbing his hand.
"We're gonna need to knock him out," a nurse said, preparing a needle. Jace screamed again and thrashed even more.
"It's no use, is there any other way we can do it?" The doctor asked. I but my lip.
"Jace, keep still, please!" I pleaded. He wouldn't stop. "I'm sorry!" I whispered I squeezed a pressure point. He fell still and I burst into tears at his side. The nurses started to plug him into the machines as the doctor turned towards me.
"Why did you do that?" She asked. I shook my head. "Well it helped, I'm Mrs Kane. I will be treating Jace," she said and turned back to him as he started to convulse. "Everyone out!" She ordered. A nurse tried to get me out and I ended up screaming Jace's name. I was pushed out the door roughly and into the corridor that was lined with plastic chairs.
The doors at the end of the corridor flew open to admit Robert, Mayrse and Izzy. Alec was collecting Max from school and then bringing him here. Izzy rushed up to me, and, seeing my tears, caught me in a hug.
"You know I've never seen you cry," Izzy said, jokingly. I gave a weak chuckle and wiped away some tears. My heart was clenching painfully and au was conscious of every sound that came from inside that room. Whether it was the beeping of the heart monitor or the murmur of voices, I could hear every one of them. Mrs Kane walked out a minute later.
"He is stable and we need to take him up for some scans." She said. A moment later Jace was wheeled out on a bed by some porters. "I must ask you to remain here. If you are needed then I will send someone to get you," with that she walked away, after Jace. I sat down on one of the chairs, my head in my hands. Mayrse sat besides me and rubbed my back. I lent into her motherly touch. I hadn't been close to anyone like my mother since they died.
A few hours later Jace was wheeled back. He was tossing and turning again.
"Only two visitors at once," Mrs Kane said, calmly. Mayrse, Robert and I stood up. Robert gave me a look and said
"You go," I hugged him and ran into the room after Mayrse. Jace was hooked up to the heart machines again. He started to thrash and tried to pull the oxygen mask off him. I rushed to his side and helped him. He grabbed my hand.
"Clary!" He moaned. Some more tears escaped from my eyes.
"I'm right here," I said, my voice cracking. Mayrse took Jace and my spare hands and squeezed them. I shot her a grateful smiled. She nodded.
We sat with Jace for about 20 minutes before we left to give Robert and Izzy a turn. When they went in Alec and Max came running through the doors.
"Is he ok? What happened?" Alec asked. Max came over to me and climbed into my lap. I wrapped my arms around him and tucked his head under my chin. Mayrse explained the best she could but none of us actually knew what was happening. There was a loud groan and then the heart monitor started beating faster and faster. Mayrse and I looked at each other. We all stood and burst into the room. Jace was unconscious, his limbs jerking uncontrollably. Was he having a seizure?
"We need to get him to theatre! Now!" Mrs Kane shouted. Jace was unhooked and wheeled away. We started to protest. Mayrse caught Mrs Kane's arm and spun her around.
"What's happening to my son?" She asked. Mrs Kane looked worried.
"He's been poisoned!"
