Chapter 12: New Exhaustions
Isabelle
I had contracted the flu! In September no less! And, I was stuck at home, while Jace and Simon executed my plan. I made them tell me everything, but it wasn't the same. I was so worried about Clary, and from what I've been told, she isn't doing well.
The school day had just finished, and I was waiting for Jace, Alec, and Simon to get here. Alec and Magnus had promised to help, and they were, but on a much smaller scale than Jace and Simon. For example, they were listening to the rumors about Sebastian and Clary, and finding out if they were true.
At that moment, I heard the front door open and close loudly. I was situated on the couch in the living room. Jace walked into the room slowly, trying to be quiet. Simon, Alec, and Magnus followed him in. They sat down on the numerous chairs in the room, and sat back.
"So," I said. "What have you learned?"
"Well, Clary can't be around us because, and I quote 'I'm being my hot, irritating, and charming'," Jace said, as full of himself as always.
"She did not say that!" Simon protested loudly.
"She did too!" Jace said defensively.
"Boys, that's enough!" I shouted loudly.
They immediately stopped at, and I continued, "Jace I believe you, however it's not really going to help us to know this. If anything, this gives us an incentive to kick you out of our friend group," I said calmly.
"That's not all she said though. She also said she's not allowed," he said frantically.
"That makes more sense than her calling you hot," Simon smirked.
"Whaever Lewis," Jace muttered.
"That's enough boys," I said smirking. "Now Magnus, what have you and Alec found out?"
Magnus
"Well, Miss Lightwood, the gossip mill suggests that Clary and Sebastian are dating. Our evidence, says it might be true," I said.
"And what evidence would that be?" Isabelle asked impatiently.
"The fact that we saw him going into her house, but never saw him leaving it," Alec broke in quietly.
"You saw what!" Jace and Simon both exclaimed.
"If it makes you feel any better, we never saw them kiss," I said.
"It doesn't," they both muttered.
"Well now that you've told me everything you know, it's time for you all to go investigate more," Isabelle said lightly.
"Come on Alexander, let's go have a steakout," I said.
"A steakout? Magnus, she lives right next door! What are we gonna do watch her through the windows of my house that face hers?" Alec said.
"That's exactly what we're gonna do. Now let's go get some coffee," I replied.
He nodded and we left. We were currently in a break from our relationship. Something about him needing some time to think about out relationship. I knew he just was obeying his parents. They had told him to think over his relationship with me, which was exactly what he was doing. I wasn't mad though.
We pulled up to Starbucks and we went inside to order out coffee.
Jonathan/Sebastian
I had not meant to follow her, but when I saw her deliberately turn away from the cafeteria, I was curious. She walked to the art room, and I followed behind her slowly. When she got into the art room, she started painting.
When she stepped back, I knew she was finished, so I walked in. She was so fixated on her painting that she didn't notice when I walked up behind her.
When I saw what she painted, I was started. It was our family split in half. Me with Dad, and her with Mom. I spoke up seething with rage. "Dad won't like that picture," I said tightly.
We had had a conversation before I had hit her. She had stumbled off, after she thought I was gone, while I searched through the rest of her paintings. To my utter rage, they were all of her in pain. As if I hadn't been protecting her for years. As if I had ever let her get beaten by Dad very badly. Well, no more. I wouldn't be her buffer anymore.
I had been ready to tell her that when she got home. Except, she never came home. At least, not so far. And, I was worried and scared. Worried that she had been hurt and scared would blame it on me.
I still wouldn't continue to be her buffer, but I still cared about her. As time went on, I decided to go look for her. I walked out of the house, got in my car, and drove off.
I drove around for awhile, looking for her car. I finally found it in an abandoned parking lot for some business. I looked inside, and found her passed out. I banged on the windows, before seeing the blood on her forehead.
Upon seeing that, I broke into her car. I grabbed her, threw her in the car, and took off, my destination the ER. On my way there I called the only person I could think of who could help me.
Simon
When I got the call, I wasn't expecting it. But, when I got it, I rushed off without a second thought. Clary was in the ER.
Apparently Sebastian had found her passed out in her car. He had taken her to the emergency room and called the only person he could think of. Me.
When, I got there, I was rushed into her room. Then, I found out that she didn't have a concussion. I sighed in relief, she was okay. For now.
