Hey guys! How was your holiday? Mine was pretty good, got some nice things for Christmas. Okay, by a show of hands...or reviews or private message. How many of you read My Sister's Boyfriend? I for one was in love with the story and the person who posted it got greedy and deleted it. I for one was very upset with their decision, it was a great story! And what I found outrageous is that it was deleted because he or she wasn't getting enough reviews! And that he or she got bad reviews from a few people, so what? Its life! Not everyone is gonna love what you write! And isn't that the whole point of reviews? To get opinions from other people? I don't understand...I'm still sad over this, but I will get past it. Oh well.

Time for the fun!

What do I do now? How did I end up like this? Why did I hurt Clare? Jake paced his living room after hearing of Clare's condition in the hospital. She could be dead because of me. His conscience finally decided to kick in, he felt sorry for what he did to her, but it felt so good. He enjoyed having control over another person, making them feel inferior and worthless. She knows how I feel now. Soon enough Glen Martin barged into the house like he always does and smelt like a bottle of Vodka.

"Hey dad..." Jake said unsteadily, wishing that he was anywhere but home. Glen looked at him with blood shot eyes and a rugged look.

"Fuck off before I get mad." Glen threatened but Jake didn't listen.

"Dad...I need your hel-" Jake didn't see it coming, Glen threw his bottle of Vodka at Jake's stomach making him double over in pain. He fell to the ground clutching his stomach and groaning in pain, he can remember the first time his father hit him. It was right after his mother passed away and his father turned to drinking to numb the sorrow. It started off with Glen skipping work and going to bars, then escalated to never coming home until the next morning wasted and with a random women. One day Glen just had enough that he let all his anger out on Jake, and it felt great. He found an outlet for all his sadness and anger for the passing of his wife. He wouldn't care that he hurt his son, but being drunk all the time, it doesn't faze him that he's hurting someone he loves deeply. But the alcohol took away his better judgment and for the last six years of Jake's life, he was abused verbally and physically by his father.

Somewhere along the way being abused by his father had shaped Jake into who he was today. Jake believed that love is shown by hurting the other in the relationship. When Jake would beat Clare he felt power and strength. He was able to let all his anger built up from his father out on Clare, he didn't feel that sorry for her, but he wishes he could. After hearing that he put her in the hospital, something deep down inside of him clicked back on. He thought about is mother, she wouldn't want him to be this monster, become a spawn of what his father had become.

Jake got up from the floor, stepped in front of his father, and looked down at a poor excuse for a parental figure. He looked down at a man who was no man, but a coward, a coward who gave up on life and on his family. Jake lifted his hand and punched Glen square in the jaw. Glen's head whipped backwards and he stumbled into the tan couch.

"How does it feel to get hurt by your own blood?!" Jake screamed walking towards Glen who looked shocked and sick. What has he created?

"Jake, what are you doing?" Glen shook in his seat scared of what might happen next.

"What you've been doing to me for the past six years! Do you know how much hurt and paint you've put me through? And I'm not taking it any more!" Jake grabbed the closest blunt object he could find , which was a lamp, and started to beat his father.

Imogen sat in her room staring at the wall wondering what she should do to fix what Jake said. She hadn't expected Jake to spill her secrete right then and there, especially in front of Eli. She'd thought that Jake actually liked her enough to keep one of her most valued secrets. This is all Clare's fault, if she hadn't been so stupid and got caught with Eli, none of us would be in this mess.

"Ugh! I HATE her!" Imogen fell onto her bed and looked up at the ceiling thinking about the night she killed Julia. She had no remorse for what she did, she's glad she killed her. Not like she was anyone important. Imogen remembers the feeling she got when she heard Julia was dead, she felt like she had the upper hand. But now it seems like that hand has came back and slapped her in the face.

But she has nothing to worry about, no one had proof to if she actually killed Julia, the only proof there was is gone, all of it. She'd drive the car she hit Julia with into the ocean, and the laptop that held the photos and plans was crushed to a million pieces, burned and then buried in her old backyard. No one is able to figure out that she did it, the only one who knew the truth was Clary and she wouldn't throw her twin in front of the bus like that. Imogen's smile faltered when she thought of how sad her twin was when she learned of Julia's death, how depressed she became, and how she tried to take her own life last year.

She shook the feeling of guilt off and focused on her problem right now. Okay, so only Jake and Clary know what really happened and Clare, Eli, and Shane just know what Jake said which is basically the same thing Clary and Jake know...

"Shit!" it wasn't suppose to be like this, she was meant to be with Eli! She knows it. But no. Clare had to come out of nowhere and take him away from her. He was suppose to be her's and only her's. The only option was to get rid of Clare, but how? Everyone is going to be over protective because of Jake and since they think Imogen killed Julia, what is a girl to do? Imogen got up and walked over to her laptop and plugged in her old flash drive. On her flash drive popped up her old plan she used to get rid of Julia. Okay, she might not have gotten rid of all evidence that tied her to Julia's death, but maybe it could help to get rid of Clare too.

1) give back Julie's notebook and make up some lame excuse to why I have it

2) make plans with JUST Julie

3) convince her Eli is cheating on her

4) tell her that Clary and Eli have been sleeping together since middle school

5) make Eli look like a bad guy

6) tell Julie to talk to him

7) make sure they fight

8) Kill her

Imogen read over the list a few times before hatching up a new one modified to fit Clare.

1) Get on Clare's good side

2) be of helpful use if she goes to court with Jake

3) get Eli to turn on her

4) get Clary to look like a bad person

5) get Clare all alone

6) make friends with Clare

7) stab her in the back

8) Kill her

Imogen smiled at her modified plan, but felt a strange feeling in thee pit of her stomach, fear? She shook her head of the thought and continued to think of the wonderful things she could do to get rid of Clare Edwards for good, just like Julia Simmons.

Jake looked down at his hands, they held so much blood, but not as much as the couch does. He dropped the lamp that was broken to bits and came down from the high he was under. He looked at the scene in front of him, on the once tan couched lied a disoriented looking version of Glen Martin. His face was smashed in and his head lied in an awkward position.

"Dad.."

"Dad! Wake up!" he shook his fathers body but nothing happened, his body felt cold and stiff. Jake placed to fingers to Glen's neck...there was no pulse.

"Oh my god...did I..." Jake was horrified, he hadn't realized what he's done.

He was no better than Imogen.

He was just like her.

A killer.

So this chapter was mainly created to get an insight of where Imogen and Jake are in the story. I honestly didn't know what was to come of this chapter and I'm a little shocked that I could write something like this, not gonna lie. I hope you enjoy it! And I would love to take some ideas from you guys! It would help me a lot and I love hearing my reviewers' opinions on what to do next, it helps make the story much better.
