     Simon was sitting at his desk doing his homework when he heard his front door open. He walked out to the living room and saw Clary and her brother Johnathan. "Hey Clary. What's he doing here, you never bring him over?" Simon questioned as Clary took a seat on the couch. "I needed to talk to you about something. I wanted someone else here though." Clary said. "What's wrong Clary?" Simon asked. "I came here to break up with you." She started. Simon stood up and looked at her. "I have feelings for Jace. I want to try and be with him." She finished. "I knew this was going to happen." Simon clarified and turned away. "What do you mean?" Clary inquired. "When you flirt with Jace right in front of me it's kind of hard not to see a breakup coming." Simon clarified. "I thought it'd make you break up with me first." Clary whispered. "I wouldn't have because I love you. I thought you loved me too. I guess I was wrong. Have fun with Jace." Simon scoffed and walked back to his room to get the stuff Clary had left. He grabbed a small box he had and put the things in it. He brought it out to the siblings and shoved it into Johnathan's arms. "You know your way out." He spat and walk to his room to continue homework.

"You knew you wanted to break up with him, why didn't you?" Johnathan asked Clary as they walked out of Simon's house. "I don't know." Clary responds. "That's actually kind of a dick move. You made him watch you flirt with Jace yet wouldn't break up with him." He stated. "Yes, Johnathan I understand, I'm a dick. I'm worried about me and Alec's relationship mostly if I'm being honest. Simon is his best friend; he was friends with me at first because I was with Simon." Clary explained. "You are the worst person ever." Johnathan laughed. "What do you mean?" She questioned. "You just broke up with someone who was in love with you, yet you are worried about your relationship with his best friend. Even though you know that Jace likes you and he will have to hang out with you anyway." He clarified. Clary started to speak but stopped when she realized her brother was right. She looked down at the floor as they continued walking to his car.

Simon sat in his room and tried to focus on his work. When he realized he couldn't, he picked up his guitar and started strumming. Unable to focus on that too he laid down on his bed in silence. He pulled out his phone and dialed Alec's number.
