Chapter 2
"And this is the living room" I heard Thalia say whit a shaking voice. I hugged Chris to my side as we got up from the couch to welcome the guests. And, as I expected, After Thalia walked Jace, Alec, Isabelle and Simon in.
At first I was in shock. They looked so different. Alec had longer hair and looked happier, but with a little sadness. Simon, my best friend, I could not recognise. He didn't wear glasses and he embraced Isabelle. Isabelle looked like she was happy with Simon, but like she had a heavy burden on her shoulders. And last, but not least, Jace. His hair had grown down to his eyes. He looked tired, sad and like he regretted something. I thought he would be happy with Aline, since he had kissed her right before I left. But then they noticed me Chris and Jamie.
"And this is my brothers Jamie and Christopher Gray and my parabatai Clarissa Morgenstern." I stiffed. Why did she tell them my real name?! All eyes turned to me. "Clary!?" Jace cried. Before I knew it I was embraced by him. "Oh God," he whispered in my hair. "We're not siblings Clary" he continued with a shaky voice. "What?" I asked against his chest. What did he mean?
"I'm not a Morgenstern. Your real brother is dead. I'm Jonathan Herondale," he said and looked down at me. "I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen. I thought that you were my sister, and I couldn't bear to be near you, knowing that I couldn't touch you and be the guy you needed." He sounded like he was about to cry. He wasn't my brother. "What… What about Aline?" I asked. He had kissed her the last time I saw him. He smiled down at me and kissed my hair. "I haven't seen her in four years. After I thought you were… dead. I couldn't bear it. I love you. I always have."
He looked me deep in the eyes. Before I could think, his lips were at mine. I answered the kiss whit all I got. "I love you too" I whispered against his lips. "But let's save it until later" I smirked and turned to my old friends.
"Something you want to tell me Si?" I asked with a playful grin. He blushed. "I… I kind of, you know…" I raised my eyebrows. "Izzy?" I asked. She smiled and came over to give me a hug. "One" she said. "I'm so sorry for how everything went last time. Two, I love him. I hope you're ok with it." She looked at me hopefully. "He is very lucky who got you Iz,2 I said and smiled. I gave Simon a hug before I turned to Alec. That no one knew was that the week before we were going to Idris, I had spent a lot of time with Alec. We had watched movies, played games and he had trained me. He had become like a brother to me.
"Alexander" I teased. He grinned and hugged me thigh. "I swear to the angel Raziel, if you scare me like that again, I'm going to hunt you down." I smiled. "Missed you too big bro" I replied. "Wait what?" Isabell, Jace, Simon and Thalia said at the same time. I looked at Alec, who looked back before we said "What?" In unison. We started laughing and before I knew it I had Jace's arms around me again.
"Clary" Chris said carefully. I had completely forgotten about my family. "What's up bud?" I asked. "Are you going to leaves us?" He sounded like he was about to cry. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't leave him. I made my way to him and embraced him. "I could never leave you Chris. You're my little buddy, right?" I said whit a smirk. He nodded and smiled.
Three hours later
We had been sitting in the living room, catching up for hours now. Chris, Thalia and Jamie had gone to train so we were all alone.
"So Clary" Simon asked. "are you coming home with us?" Damn! Why did he have to ask? "I.. I don't think I can Si" I said and looked down. "Why not?" Jace asked. I sighted. "I promised Chris that I wouldn't leave him, no matter what happened. I can't break that promise" I said and looked at Jace who looked back with sad eyes. "But you're going to visit us, right?" he asked as he pulled me closer to him. "Of course!" I said. "I love you guys, I just… Chris is like the little brother I've never had" I said and smiled down.
Everyone around me looked… almost worried. "What?" I asked. "Clary, there is something we haven't told you… about your mother." Simon said. "Did she wake up?" I asked and looked at him with hope. He nodded. "She woke up around four years ago, and she married Luke a year later." He said and smiled at me. "So, Luke is my step dad? That's great" I said.
"The second thing is that… they got a son three years ago." He said, unsure about how I would react. A son? Does that mean… "I've got a little brother?" I asked with a shaking voice. "Yeah. You do." Jace said with sad eyes. "What's his name? " I asked wondering why everybody looked sad. "His name is Jacob Maximum Graymark" Jace said and then Isabelle broke down in tears.
