Chapter 13, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I still don't own TMI.. :/ it's Cassandra Clare's ..
"That's your new home kids." Dad said as he turned our car to our driveway.
'A house' wasn't the first word that came into my head. It was a giant, white, beautiful mansion. The mansion was surrounded by strong metallic gates made up of cast iron and they opened with remote control. I saw beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful plantings everywhere.
I looked at Jon and he was staring out of the window. He felt my gaze and looked at me smiling brightly.
"This is our home? Really?" He asked
"Yes, we bought this last year." Mom said.
Dad stopped the car and we got out. I ran to the front door and dad threw me keys. I opened the door and stepped inside. In front of me were two beautiful big staircases on the both sides of the hallway. They curved so that the upper ends of the stairs related to each other. The floor was white marble. Between the staircases was a huge hallway to a large living room and kitchen. On the back yard was a big pool. On the second floor were all of the bedrooms except my parents room.
I walked up the stairs, Jon and dad behind me. Jonathan's room was on the right side of the hallway, and mine was on the left side right across from his. I opened my door and my heart stopped. Almost. It was pretty big, but not too big. I had a big balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows on that wall. I fell in love with it immediately. I opened the balcony's door and looked at the view. It was breathtaking. I sat there and let my mind wander to New York, to Jace and Izzy. Izzy will love this. I walked back to my room and opened my door and went to Jonathan's room. His room was as big as mine and he had a balcony too.
"I'm sure I'm going to get lost in this place." Jonathan said when he saw me walking into his room.
"It's not that big." I said to him.
"Obviously you haven't seen everything. There's about 10 more bedrooms down the hallway and on the other hallway are for example gym, library, mom's painting room and I'm sure you can use it too. There's also a music room."
"What? Really?"
"Yes, really! C'moon I'll show you." He took my hand and pulled me with him.
The second floor really was amazing. I fell in love with the music room. It was big, like all the other rooms, there was huge white grand piano, guitars and many other instruments. This is the place where I'm going to spend my free time. I thought to myself. Jonathan wanted to try the gym out and left me all by myself into the music room. I sat down onto the piano chair and lifted the cover up. I ran my fingers lightly on the keys and pressed one key down. It sounded just like piano should sound.
My phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and looked at the screen. It was FaceTime call and I saw Jace's name on the screen. Jace. My heart ached and tears were in my eyes again. I answered but I couldn't say anything 'cause I was crying. Again.
"Hey Clar- baby, is everything okay? Are you okay?" Jace asked looking at me worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I just miss you and now it all just flooded over." I answered wiping my eyes.
"Oh baby, I miss you too. Izzy is so annoying when she's alone. She's tried to do my nails, etc.. Anyway, how was the drive? How's the house?" He smiled.
"The drive was okay I guess. I slept the better half of it. And the house.. 'A house' isn't a right word to describe this. It's more like a mansion. A really beautiful one. I'm in the music room right now. Want me to show you around? I think mom and dad are sleeping and Jon is in the gym."
He just nodded, so I got up, took my phone with me and showed him my home. He fell in love with the music room, like I did when I first saw it. I was back in the room and sat down.
"Wow, you have nice house there. Not envious or anything.. No..." He shook his head. It was really late in Los Angeles,1.24 pm, and the heat was finally settling down. It was only 10.24 pm in New York. I couldn't help but yawn. Jace chuckled and smiled to me through my phone.
"You're tired. Go to bed and sleep. You don't have to go to school tomorrow right? I do.." He said rolling his eyes. I walked to my room still talking with him.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. I love you, you know that right? More than anything. Talk to you soon!" I said smiling sadly.
"I know, and I love you too. I'll call you when my school day's over, okay? Good night."
We ended the call and emptiness filled my heart. I wasn't tired anymore so I walked to Jonathan's door and knocked. I heard a quiet come in so I opened the door and walked to his bed and climbed in. He was lying there on his back, music playing quietly on background. He hugged me close to his chest and stroked my hair.
"I miss him. I miss Izzy. I miss Alec. I miss even our old school. I miss my teammates." He said whispering.
"I know, I miss the old too. But we're here together. We can make through this." he said as quietly.
We stayed like that for a moment. It was really hot, even with the air-conditioner on, so I couldn't be that close to Jonathan. I pulled myself away from his hot body, no not like that, he's my brother. We still had our legs tangled, just like when we were little.
"Tomorrow, we're going to shop new clothes for school, my dear sister. And we're going to crush that damn school." He said, his voice very serious. But I knew him better.
"Yes, that's what we're going to do." I giggled and sighed.
I knew I couldn't make through all of this without my brother.
