A/N: I figured with the partial view of Chapter 1 of CP2 that I should update my fic! So I hope it's not too awful and enjoy!

*I do not own the Infernal Devices, Cassandra Clare does!*

Will hesitantly entered Tessa's room.
"Go away!" She exclaimed at him as she turned her back to him.
She protested a bit more as he slowly sat down at the edge of her bed.
"I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong." Will replied slowly. " You and Jem are the closest people to me and if something's wrong between you two I want to help in any way possible.
"You can't help." She replied, exhaling slowly. You can't help because you're the problem, she thought, but she mustn't say that to him so instead she waited what seemed like ages for him to finally speak up once again.
"Listen, I know I'm not your favorite person right now and you probably want nothing more than for me to disappear and never see you again. I am happy to oblige after the wedding, but I must be there for Jem right now, and you as well, if you will let me."
He couldn't understand why as soon as he said that, she quickly shoved her face into the pillow and began sobbing again. It took all of his strength not to grab her and hold her like he had in the infirmary. After all she wasn't his Tess anymore, she was Jem's and he couldn't disrespect that. While he was having this silent debate in his head, he didn't realize that Tessa had stopped her sobbing, for the moment.
Tess looked at him and asked, "You're not going to leave, are you?" He gently shook his head and responded softly, "Not until you talk to me."
She said something so softly he could barely hear it, but she seemed to say I don't want you to leave. But he shook the thought and, of course, as soon as he questioned her she said nothing. He asked once again what had happened and she did nothing but turn away and dodge the questions.
"Listen, I can't help you if you won't tell me anything." He said with an exasperated sigh.
"Well if you recall, William, I never asked for your help in the first place."
He sighed again, "No, you did not, however, that does not mean you will not get it."
It seemed like they had been sitting there having the same argument for ages. She was mentally preparing herself for what she could tell him when he said something unexpected. "Tess, I want you to know that I am completely happy for you and Jem and I wish you the happiest life together. If I could give up my life to prolong his so you two could be together longer I would, I would do anything to ensure that you were happy." And, almost as an afterthought he added, "And Jem too, of course." What happened next was kind of a blur, but he remembered that she had began sobbing again and the next thing he knew she wrapped her arms around him, in a tight embrace, and just sobbed into his shirt, the only thing he could think to do was just hold her there and comfort her until she stopped, which was not for a while. With the sounds of her crying and the thoughts of what could have happened that upset her so much running through his mind, there is no way Will could have heard the door silently open and then close again.

Jem was busy getting prepared for dinner in his room when a thought occurred to him, had he been too harsh on Tessa earlier? The questions had been bothering him for a while, but he never doubted her love for him, he was just letting all of the emotions from the traumatic weeks build up. He hadn't meant to say it so bluntly, in fact, he hadn't meant to say it at all. He had been thinking much about the wedding recently and about whether the fact that he was dying had swayed her decision, but he should have known it didn't. She was his fiance and they were closer than that. He could trust her fully and he never doubted her so he shouldn't have made it sound like he did. He wasn't even sure why he had asked about Will, she seemed to hate him now so he had no idea why he would believe she had any previous feelings for him, the two were going at it constantly since she had moved into the institute. He was being foolish. He decided to go apologize for his actions and accusations when he heard a subtle knock on the door. He opened it expected to see Will or Tessa standing there, but to his surprise it was Cecily standing outside the door.
All she said was. "We need to talk." and walked in and sat herself down in the chair and gave Jem and expectant look.
