Sorry I've been MIA lately, readers! Uploading now, and I have some chapter ideas set aside so I can start reading... As a sorry gift, I'm going to be featuring one of you as a character in this book and will dedicate a chapter to one of you. All you have to do is comment your name (or username) and let me know what you would like to happen in the next chapter. I'll be choosing a winner by next Friday, EST. Thanks, love you all.

Tessa stared down at her hands, which were currently folded primly on her skirt. Her palms were sweaty and she felt like fainting.
Sophie couldn't even have calmed her down one bit. It was time for her to get over herself and realize she liked someone. Truly, wholeheartedly liked someone.
A certain boy with mysterious eyes and dark dark hair.
A certain someone named Will Herondale.
He had frequented her thoughts ever since the unfortunate scene at the library; where Jem had caught them kissing and he had covered shamelessly for her.
Now, it was three days later, and Tessa was situated in her dorm room. Sophie was out, and the lights were dimmed so Tessa could enjoy a movie.
Her attention wasn't on the television, however, but on Will.
Ugh. Will. Will. Will.
The insufferable name of her, dare she say it, crush. So maybe it was more than that, but maybe it was just lust? She didn't know for sure, but even though her heart tugged her between Jem and Will, she knew she had to tell Will what she thought about him.
This was why Tessa crawled out of her bed, threw on a silk robe over her nightgown, and snuck out of the dorms to go to Will's house.
At exactly ten thirty in the night.
Cecily opened the door for her when Tessa arrived at her destination.
"What are you doing here?" The girl questioned, smiling, but showing clear signs of confusion.
"I, uh, have to explain something to Will," Tessa rushed out, pushing past Cecily and trying to get up the stairs to Will's room.
Cecy seemed confused, but not mad.
"Wait-" Cecy began, seeming to have remembered something, but it was too late. Tessa had flung open the door to Will's room only to find the most shocking sight in front of her.
Thousands of emotions flew through her brain at once.
Will, only in his boxers, had his arms wrapped around a half naked Jessamine Lovelace. He was practically fraternizing with the enemy!
Tessa felt her heart break cleanly in two, as she struggled to find her voice and not let any tears escape.
"What, what," she stuttered, completely at a loss for words.
"Get out, Tessa," Will snarled, not acting at all like himself, so Tessa thought. Jessamine merely grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"Why, Will?" Tessa cried, desperately searching for an answer as to why, even though he knew Jessamine hated Tessa, he would have the nerve to kiss her, much less sleep with her!
"We weren't ever together," Will spat out, his arms still wrapped around Jessamine.
Without another word, Tessa turned and fled from his room and the whole Herondale mansion, anger and hurt coursing through her whole body. Never had she ever felt so betrayed before, and even though what Will had said was true, it didn't make anything better.
The only thing she conveniently didn't see was the clear look of frustration and pain on Will's face a second after she had fled his room.
Maybe what they shared was only lust...
But what happened to it all?
A/N: So, here is my new update! I'm sorry it's short, but it is jammed pack full of feels. I know, I know, I'm sorry Will is acting like an idiot: he may have his reasons... And what do you think of Jessamine? Pm me or leave a comment letting me know your thoughts!
