People of the world. Be prepared to read and review!!!!!!! Here's chapter 7 of Jace In Love. Peace Out!!!!!!!!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. Cassandra Clare does.
JacePOV
Dragging myself through the door, I trudged inside my house. I immediately went straight to the fridge to get some Coke and plopped myself on the couch. Just then, I got a phone call from an unknown number.
"Hi, is this the home of the Lightwoods residence?" the woman asked, clearly from somewhere up north.
"This is." I replied, wishing that she'd go away so I could finish the Dark Knight movie.
"I'm calling on behalf of the Winter Park hospital in New York, I regret to inform you that earlier today your mother was attacked by a hit and run driver while out on a walk. Your dad was still at the hotel room. I'm sorry son, by she died just a few moments ago…….."
My mind went blank, cutting out the rest of what she was saying. I felt the muscles in legs weaken, grabbing the chair for support.
"Hello? Are you still there."
"Yes. When will my father be getting back?" I asked.
"In three days. He needs some time alone."
"Alright. Bye."
"Wait-"
But I cut off the receiver before she could say anything else. I sat down slowly in the chair, burying my hands in my face. Then I did something I hadn't done since I was twelve when my girlfriend broke up with me.
I cried.
I sat there, bawling my eyes out until I heard Alec and Izzy walk in. I told him what the woman had said. Izzy instantly began to cry, while Alec remained stoic. Taking Izzy upstairs, he left me in peace to finish my crying.
ClaryPOV
I sat on the couch watching the news for my civics class. I know, not one of the better assignments a teacher could hand out, but still I was pretty interesting.
"What the hell are you watching?" asked Simon.
"The news."
"I thought you hated the news."
"I do."
"Then why are you watching it?"
"For a class, okay? Yeesh, you ask so many questions."
"Well sor-ry."
For some odd reason, he sat down next to me and watched it, too. Just then, the news anchor said something heart stopping.
"A man by the name of Valentine Morgestern has escaped from the penitentiary two days ago. The police have discovered that he was headed for New York. He's deemed dangerous and anyone with information regarding him should contact your local police."
Time froze. Slowly, I looked at Simon, and he looked back. We both knew who this man was. This man was our father.
We sat there in silence, only broken when my mom got home.
"Hey kids, what are you-"
She stopped when she saw our faces.
"What's wrong?"
When we didn't answer, she put her hands on her hips.
"What. Happened?"
It was Simon who spoke.
"Mom, dad escaped."
She gave us a confused looked.
"What are you talking about?"
I spoke next.
"Valentine escaped from the penitentiary two days ago. The new said he was headed for New York."
Just then, my mom froze, a scared expression on her face, probably remembering why he was in there in the first place.
We all shuddered.
"What are we going to do?" asked Simon weakly.
"Nothing. Just act like nothing happened and that we don't know him. Nothing will happen then." my mom said firmly.
"I need some rest."
She left to go upstairs to hide it, but we could already hear her start to cry.
Oh no!!!!!! Poor Jace. Poor Clary. Does anyone see a connection? Thanks for reading and plz, PLZ review!!!!!!
