HEY EVERYBODY- or just Jillessa Heronstairs. So the last chapter only Jillessa Heronstairs reviewed *cue the cricket sound*, but I'm hoping to get more reviews in this chapter!

Jillessa Heronstairs: When is Jem not awesome?! :P Aww thanks!

Cecily and Jem came back to the apartment to find Will already there. Oh shit, Cecily thought the moment she found Will infront of the apartment. He's going to think I told Jem now. Will must have thought that she did because he was glaring only at her, but she could see the fear in his eyes. Could Jem see that too?

"Why are you standing here like a duck?" Jem teased as Will cringed at the word duck. "Sorry I won't use that D word again."

"Waiting for my sister, who I told her to stay in the apartment, to come back with the keys," he said angrily. Cecily wanted to cower in fear at his glare.

"I'm sorry," she muttered, avoiding eye contact with Will.

"Where were you?" Will demanded.

She didn't know what to say, but She didn't have to. Jem answered for her. "I came looking for you and found this poor girl quite miserable so we went to the movies."

Will eyed his sister cautiously. "Is that so?"

Cecily nodded and raised her chin as she said, "Quit with the worrying Will. I'm not a little girl anymore."

He sighed. "The keys please?"

Cecily checked her pocket and found it. She threw it to Will who caught it with ease. He unlocked the door and they followed him inside. "So where were you?" Jem asked Will, "I thought we could have hanged out today." Cecily noticed that Will's shoulders had gone stiff while locking the door from inside the apartment. She tried to catch Will's eye, but he was still facing the door.

Tell him! She wanted to scream at Will, just tell him!

Will turned, looked in Jem's eyes, and said casually, "Bookstore."

Jem believed him in an instant. After all, Jem has no reason to doubt him right? she thought sourly. "I should have known," Jem joked, "you live there. You might as well move into the bookstore and hand over the apartment keys to Cecily."

"That would be nice," she said, mustering her happy voice. Will avoided looking at her.

Jem checked the time. "I have to go," he said, "I have a date with Tessa." That made Cecily go stiff all over. She felt a bucket of cold guilt splash on her. She should have told Jem the truth.

"Have fun!" Will grinned. "Don't do anything naughty." Jem just rolled his eyes. Cecily noted how Will was grinning and laughing and relaxed like he really was happy that his best friend was happy because he had found a girl. She wondered how many times Will pulled that act together.

The moment Jem left, Cecily said out loud, "I didn't know Tessa's house was a bookstore," then stood up, went to her room, and slammed the door hard.

After taking a nap (with no shirtless men), she woke up. Cecily didn't want to go out of her room yet while Will could still be mad at her. She decided to go take a shower. After the shower, there was nothing else to do in her room. She went outside her room, preparing herself for Will's shouts. She found no one in the living room. She checked his bedroom, but he wasn't there. Cecily went to the kitchen and found a note on the table. She read it.

Went out. Be back soon - Will.

Not likely, Cecily thought angrily. He had obviously went to the Pandemonium Club with his secret girlfriend and the Lightwood zombie followers. She crumpled the letter and threw it into the bin. There was nothing to do, but watch television. At around eleven o'clock, she went back to bed. When she woke up the next morning, she found Will in the living room with his head in his hands.

He looked up at her when she entered the room. "You," he hissed.

She gulped. "Will, is everything okay?" she stuttered.

"Is this a joke?" he shouted at her. "How could you tell Jem about me and Tessa?!"

This is a really short chapter, but I need to practice writing short chapters before I start school because it will be a good thing if I update a short chapter. Anyway, I just wanted to say I posted new two stories, Lives and Dear Tessa. Can you guys go check them out? Plus, I'd really love some reviews and support! So please review! Bye xoxo
