"Jace, just come out and talk to us!" called Isabelle leaning against the doorframe. It had been 2 hours since Sebastian had kissed Clary and Jace had basically ran straight to his room and locked himself inside and refused to talk to anyone. "Jace, please come out!" called Clary. No reply. He wouldn't let her explain anything. She hadn't wanted it to happen, it was all Sebastian's fault!
"Is he still in there?" asked Cecily walking up to Isabelle and Clary. Isabelle nodded. "He won't talk to anyone" she said. Cecily rolled her eyes. "Let me try" she said pushing past Izzy and Clary. "Jonathan Christopher Herondale, open your door right now! Or I will just kick it down!" shouted Cecily. "And before you say 'you wouldn't dare' really think about who you're talking to!" she added. Silence. Then the click of the lock and an arm pulled Cecily into the room.
"Wow, you are annoyed aren't you?" said Cecily gesturing to the belongings strewn all over the floor. Jace was never messy. "Haha, very funny" said Jace without any emotion in his voice. Cecily bit her lip. She was never really sure what to do in this type of situation. "Please come out and talk to Clary..." she said quietly. "Why should I? She kissed Sebastian!" said Jace bitterly. Cecily rolled her eyes. "No. He kissed her. It's different" she said. "How is it any different?" cried Jace throwing his arms up. Cecily bit her lip and then hit Jace sharply in the arm. "Ow! What was that for?" he said rubbing his arm. "You hit me Jace!" replied Cecily. "No! You hit me!" said Jace offended. "See what I mean?" asked Cecily. Jace sighed then nodded.
Cecily sat next to her cousin on the couch. "But, what if she likes him Cecily?" said Jace quietly. Cecily had seen Jace with lots of girls, and in lots of break-ups but he had never reacted like this. "You really like her don't you?" said Cecily. Jace nodded. "She's like no-one I've ever met before" he said. "She makes you better, you know. She makes you happier. More Jace-like." said Cecily quietly. Jace frowned, confused. Cecily sighed. "I know you're my cousin, but you may as well be my brother. I can tell things about you, like I can with Will. You changed when she came. You were more alive than I've seen you in years, and I grew up with you!" said Cecily. Jace smiled a little.
"Clary doesn't like Sebastian. She's as heartbroken as you." said Cecily. "Really?" said Jace brightening a little. Cecily nodded. "So, will you talk to her? Just for a few minutes?" she asked. Jace shook his head. "I can't. What if she does like Sebastian?" said Jace quietly. Cecily sighed. "You and Will basically managed to raise me, Jace! You can manage to talk to the girl you love!" she said.
Jace looked at her. Cecily was a smart kid. She had always known a lot about people, even things they didn't always know yet. Surely, if she said Clary liked him, she liked him. Jace hugged Cecily. "Thanks" he said. "For what?" she asked. "For never giving up on me" he replied quietly. Cecily smiled. "Are you ready to talk to Clary?" she asked. Jace nodded.
"For goodness sake! She's been in there for like 20 minutes!" said Isabelle impatiently. "Give them time Izzy!" said Clary leaning against the wall. On cue, the door opened and Cecily stepped out. "He'll talk to you Clary" she said gesturing to the door. Clary took a deep breath and with a reassuring nod from Izzy stepped inside the room.
Will sighed in frustration and threw a stone into the lake. He raised his hand to throw again, when he felt a hand over his. "Stop" said Tessa softly taking the stone from his hand. Will sighed again. "Sebastian is mucking up stuff for my family and you don't expect me to be annoyed!" he said gritting his teeth. "I know you're annoyed but you can't do anything" said Tessa softly taking his hand and sitting down next to him. "I know" said Will "But I wish I could!" Tessa squeezed his hand. "You just have to rely on Jace doing the right thing" she said. "That's the problem. He won't talk to Clary, that's not the right thing!" he said exasperated.
"Jace is talking to Clary just now" said a quiet voice from behind them. "He is?" asked Will as Cecily sat down next to him. "Yes. I talked to him and he agreed to talk to Clary." she said. "He let you in? He didn't let me in!" said Will offended. "I threatened to kick down the door" said Cecily. "And he believed you?" asked Will. "Come on Will! We all know Cecily would have kicked down the door if she had the chance!" said Tessa. Will smiled a little and gave his sister's hair an affectionate ruffle. Cecily stood up. "Where are you going?" asked Will. "A walk in the meadows" replied Cecily. "Alone?" asked Will. "None of your business!" called Cecily walking away.
Tessa laughed quietly. "Come on! She's obviously going with Gabriel" she said. Will sighed. "You can't stop her" said Tessa. "I'm not going to try" he said. Tessa frowned. "Yes, I don't like him. But she does, and I do care about her. If she's happy, then I guess I'll put up with it" said Will with a sigh. Tessa smiled and kissed his cheek softly. "I love you" he said quietly. "I love you too" said Tessa resting her head on his shoulder.
"Hey" said Clary quietly walking into Jace's room. "Hi" said Jace. Clary sat down in an armchair. "I'm sorry..." she began but he interrupted. "No, I'm sorry. I should have given you a chance to explain what happened." he said. "I didn't want him to kiss me, he just did" said Clary. "I know. Cecily told me." said Jace. "I don't like him Jace" said Clary quietly. Jace smiled a little. "Well, he's not as stunningly attractive as me" he said. Clary laughed.
"I'm really sorry for ignoring you Clary. I was just hurt. I've never really felt the way I do about you before." said Jace. Clary smiled. "I forgive you" she said. "Really?" he said. "Yes. Of course." she replied. Jace smiled. "Give me a chance to make it up to you?" he asked. Clary nodded. "I love you Clary" he said. "I love you too Jace" she said giving him a hug.
Cecily sighed happily as she admired the sunset. She was sitting on the lawn by the main building with Gabriel after their walk in the meadows. "Hey" said Will sitting down by them with Tessa. Cecily rolled her eyes. "Are you here to spy on me?" said Cecily. "Nope. Got a text from Jace saying to go to the main lawn and wait." he said waving his phone. "You got that text too?" asked Isabelle walking up with Simon, Jordan and Maia. Will nodded. Jem joined them. "Jace?" he asked as the group nodded. Alec, Magnus, Gideon and Sophie joined them a moment later saying they had got a message from Jace too. "What's going on?" asked Simon. "No one knows Simon. But it will either be good or bad news!" said Alec.
Suddenly Cecily gasped and the group followed her gaze.
