Issebelle makes sure she was behind the rest of the group before calling Alec who had just gotten back from work in Idris that had prevented him from seeing anyone for a couple of months, Clary and Simon up to warn them of the situation. After they had gotten over there shock she reminded them about not revieling anything about the future meaning Alec had to keep his realitionship with Magnus a secret and Simon had to try and keep the fact he wasn't a mundane anylonger a secret.
Alec and Clary took some persuading but Simon was happy to go with it, well he'd probably be happy doing anything I said Issebelle thought smiling to herself. She felt herself flush as she remembered last Night with Simon with her in his bed in a small apartment Simon had rented just for them for a couple of weeks...it was great or had been great, Issebele frowned does this mean she had to go and live back at the institute to keep up the pretending?
Jace looked back at her while he was with Clary and he smirked mockingly at her, guessing who she was thinking about to make her blush like that and he wriggled his eyebrows in a suggestive manner and Issebelle attempted to glare at him but had no such luck and couldn't keep the smile of her face.
Jace smirked as he looked to the front again, Clary frowned looking to the future people, they were obvioursly were teasing each other about somthing, she sighed, she hated not being in the loop then she frowned thinking hard, what questions could she ask that wouldn't change the past, or how she acted in the past?
Jace who had caught up with her seemed to be thinking the same thing as he asked his future self "So do you have a girlfreind?" Jace asked Jace, Issebelle looked up at Jace sharply, Clary looked between the two of them, finding herself wanting to scream No! Clary frowned, why didn't she want him to have a girlfreind? Then part of her said 'because if he does it won't be me, I'm his sister we can never be together'
Her heart sank in her chest as Jace responded "I'm hot stuff, why wouldn't I have a girlfriend? Girls can't keep their hands off me" everyone apart from the two Jace's and Clary made noice's of disagreement, Jace pouted at everyone's reaction. "Right Issebelle?" Jace said, Issebelle rolled her eyes and said "Keep telling yourself that".
Issebelle and Jace continued to bicker while they walked then Jace pulled Clary back with the group, Issebelle and Jace walked on ahead leaving the group from the past to talk among themselves "So what do you think of all this?" Jace asked her.
Clary sighed "honestly? I don't know what to think..."
"Mean either" Simon said.
"I wasn't talking to you mundane!" Jace said cooly.
Clary narrowed her eyes at Jace "would you stop being such a jerk to him?! His done nothing to you!"
Jace retorted "His a mundane! He doesn't belong here, you shoud know that Clary, it's to dangerous for him, I bet you there's a reason Issebelle didn't want to talk about him, besides from the useaul of course, I saw the look she gave my future self, I bet you his ether gone from this world and you never talk to him again or his either dead or badly injured because he can't hold his own in our world! Face it Clary, he needs to go sooner or later, he'll only get in the way!"
Simon waited for Clary to defend him...but she didn't? He glanced around at Alec and Issebele both of their expressions said it all, they agreed with Jace. "That's not true! I'm with you Clary, I'll always be by your side...right Clary?" Simon said looking at Clary. Clary looked ashamed, she felt ashamed but she knew that Jace was right in a sence,she didn't want him to get hurt.
When Clary didn't respond Simon's jaw clenched and the useaul warmth left his eyes, Simon felt like Clary had stuck a knife through his heart and twisted and an empty, numb feeling was left, Simon stopped walking altogether and Issebelle almost bumped into him "Watch it!" she snapped.
Simon didn't say anything just stared at the ground, first Clary and Jace had kissed and now this? It was all to much. Clary reached out to him "Simon, you could get hurt" she said trying to make him understand.
"so could you" Simon responded still staring at the ground moving away so she couldn't touch him. Clary didn't know what to say but the others did.
Alec sighed as he said irritibly "look if you don't want to come, just go home, leave our world behind, I'm sure your family won't notice that your from the future, it's only been a couple of years, you won't have aged that much, mabye your future self might be there if you've left us in the future"
Jace snorted "He'd better of left us in the future, I'm fed up with baby sitting him"
Issebelle sneered "your fed up with baby sitting him? What about me?"
Clary didn't defend Simon, she just looked at him sadly, Simon didn't have the will to defend himself and he brushed away tears, don't cry, don't cry, he told himself sternly, Simon gulped in air before he said "fine...fine, I'll go then...shall I?"
Simon looked at Clary before he walked of, a part of him hoping she'd call him back, he waited still walking...and waited, the call never came and Simon then truly felt heartbreak, 10 years of his life wasted before his eyes, 10 years of his life loving a girl who would never love him back...it was then and there he realised this and his heart splinted and shattered.
Clary watched him go, she saw his sholders slump and she had never seen him look so lost and defeated. She was tempted to call him back but she stopped herself, all she ever did was hurt him, the more he lived in the shadow world that's all she would do, he deserved to live in the mundane world, free of any danger and suffering clary thought and if this was what she had to do to keep him from harm intill they got back to the past then that's what she'd do.
Soon they had caught up with Issebelle and Jace waiting for them at the institute then Issebelle frowned "Where's Simon?" she asked them.
Clary felt confusion, the Issebelle she knew wouldn't of even noticed Simons absence, Alec said carmly "he had a argument with Clary and walked of"
There reactions where not what they expected, Jace paled even more and looked very worrid while Issebelle looked like she could murder someone, she glared at the group from the past and Issebelle shuddered under her future selfs glare, I never knew I could look that scary Issebelle thought.
"What happened?" Issebelle demanded.
Clary slowly and feeling sick with guilt told Issebele what happened know one apart from Jace knew what Issebelle's reaction would be and they all jumped looking very scared and shocked as Issebelle schreeched "YOU DID WHAT?!"
