Chapter 7- Emotionally Impaired

7 hours before….

Magnus Bane stayed up all night figuring out why Jace was acting so weird. For some reason the hypnotizing of abs was making him lose memory of the previous days. Alls he could think about was Jace, Jace, Jace, and JACE! It was literally driving him crazy. Then a loud nock at the door made him jump, it was Alec.

"Magnus can I please come in?" He asked sounding worried.

"No!" Magnus said meanly "I mean no Alec please just leave me alone."

Alec didn't fight him; he just frowned and walked away. He felt as though someone just broke up with him. Sad, depressed, angry, and sick. He used his hand to wipe his wet eye. "Oh my gosh don't cry don't cry, I'm such a baby" Alec thought and right in the middle of his embarrassment Valentine walked down the hall and stopped in front of him. Valentine looked very concerned.

"Is everything alright Alexander?" He asked

"Oh, yea everything is fine. I just finished cutting onions for dinner." Alec said.

"Its eight in the morning I never realized how emotionally impaired kids were these days" Valentine said to himself. "Is something happening with you know who?" He asked.

"NO!" Alec quickly defended himself "I mean yes" He looked at the ground. "He has been ignoring me for 3 days almost. Alls he's ever thinks about anymore is Jace, the good looking one, the one that actually has a life." Alec said and started to daydream about all of the fun things him and Magnus did, like the time when he dropped his ice cream and Magnus gave him his, or when Alec got food on his chin Magnus would help him get it off. Oh and the time at the park when they were chasing after the monarch butterfly. And the first day they met, at the party when Simon turned into a rat. Alec smiled. Right when Valentine was going to answer Alec said "Val you're a saint! I feel much better now!" Alec hugged him and frolicked back down the hall and into his bedroom. Valentine just stood very still.

"Hmm, I wonder if they sell bombs at IHOP" He asked and went back to reading his book.

"That's IT!!" Magnus said excitedly

3:05 Pm

"Do you see what I mean?" Clary asked Dr. Mocha. He was still in shock, Jace was still smiling. "This is not a smiling matter Jace, there is something very wrong with you and I'm so sick of it!" She yelled at him.

"Now, now, Miss. Fray let me handle this." Dr. Mocha said. "Now Jace, tell me what caused this odd behavior."

"That's the problem Doc, I have no clue. I just started to obsess with myself and be a complete jerk around everyone. Now for some reason the world kind of stops when I expose my eight packs, but I also found out that it only hypnotizes men." Jace said

"Well, that is quite odd. Could I talk to your sister for a minute Jace?" He asked and Jace left the room. "Miss. Fray there is a class for people like him, it's called "So you love yourself?" It's for ages 11-19. I think you should try it." He said reaching for a brochure.

"No, Dr. Mocha you don't understand. Jace is not a narcissist all of this is real I saw it with my own eyes." Clary said. Dr. Mocha shook his head. "I really don't know what to say, Jace! Come back in!" He shouted. When Jace came back in he had lip stick all over his face. Clary rolled her eyes. Dr. Mocha's eyes widened.

"Your secretary is a very pleasant kisser" Jace said and sat back down next to Clary.

"Mr. Wayland, I understand that you think your hypnotizing people, but you do realize that that is impossible, don't you?"

Jace shook his head. "Well obviously it isn't impossible because it happened. Jeez so much for the best therapist in New York, alls he's doing to me is making me angrier!" Jace shouted.

"Now calm down Jonathan, Tell me everything you did this week, everything you did before you began to feel these so called feelings that you tell me." Dr. Mocha said. "Relax Jonathan, inhale, exhale, think of something that makes you happy, makes you calm." Jace started to think very hard about everything, he was thinking about bath time, his friends, Clary, the massage place.

"Ok, well the night before I had these feelings was very normal. Alec and I were in the weapons room practicing our amazing fighting skills. Then, I ate Isabelle's disgusting Pee soup and Valentine taught us the basics of murder. When dinner was over Clary asked me to take Magnus his laundry, so I went to his room and was being curious and started to look around since he went out with some group of his. Then I saw this purplish looking drink sitting on a table, it had a book beside it. Well, I happen to looove grape juice and that looked like grape juice so I drank it all up. I remember the book saying—Oh my gosh CLARY! We have to go right now!" Jace said. Clary looked confused

"Jace what's wrong? Is everything alright? We aren't leaving until I get an answer." She said

"I know I know, but we seriously have to go, come on I'll get a cab." Jace said. "Thanks Doc for all of your help. Maybe I spoke too soon about the worst therapy thing. I kinda like you" Jace said and smiled. The doctor blushed and waved goodbye. As Jace pulled Clary down the hall they passed Kendra the secretary. Jace stopped. "You can call me" He said and they flew out the door.

"Jace I really don't understand what all of this is about." Clary said trying to keep up.

"You don't need to understand Clarissa, just come on into the cab; we need to go home now!" He said and threw her into the car.

"Jace please just tell me what's going on!" Clary screamed. As Jace gave directions to the cab driver.

"Come on drive fast I have a hair appointment" Jace said and sat back down. That made Clary really furious. "You left because you have a HAIR APPOINTMENT?!" She yelled and slapped Jace in the face.

"Well thanks a lot now I have to have plastic surgery on my face too." He said and rubbed his cheek. "That's one reason I left, but there's another reason too, you'll find that out, now just don't talk and enjoy the ride." He said, the rest of the ride was completely silent.
