CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Once I opened up the door, he made his way in, still bit a bitter sweet expression on his face. His hair was sticking to his forehead, and he just looked at me strangely.

"Why didn't you just wait for me to tell you, it was supposed to be special! It wasn't supposed to be like this.." he stated still coming up with words to say as he spoke.

"I wasn't supposed to see you while you locked yourself in a bathroom to hide from me! If anything you could have just brought the book to me and I would have gone with you to explain it, we could've done it together!"

I didn't know what to say. He was truely upset about this and I should have just waited I ruined it all, just out of curiosity.

Sure enough Jace's facial expression changed again. Like he was in pain, or shock. And soon enough my facial expression turned the same way.

I raised my hand towards the left side of my chest, where the tattoo was placed. It felt like it was burning, I felt like it was on fire but my mind didn't allow it to make me feel pain?

Jace looked to be like he was concentrating. He held a tight glare on me. Not trying to be rude, but he just kept very close eye contact. And soon enough the burning feeling was gone I felt completely fine.

Jace looked however not so much. He looked even worse than he did before, and my mind flashed back towards the book.

"Stop it, your just hurting yourself!" I stated reached towards him but he backed away putting his hand up for me to stop.

"Jace stop!" Though I knew he wouldn't listen to me I still tried to somehow to convince him otherwise. "It's not terrible? You shouldn't have to do this?"

"I'm not being forced I'm not letting it get to you?" I had no idea what he was talking about? What exactly would get to me?

Just then Jace collapsed to the ground and he was out cold. I ran towards him to try to catch him before his fall but it ended up pulling the both of use down. I knew not to panic so I hurriedly opened the door and walked back into the training room grabbing Alec and Damon, to help me get him to the hospital wing of the institute.

Alec hurried down with me and Damon was a bit behind. He wasn't much help anyways because Alec took one of his arms hoisting him up and I grabbed the other one. I guess Damon was just there to make sure he didn't fall again.

While the nurse was in and out of the room I just sat in a chair beside his bed. I waited for what felt like hours for him to wake up but he didn't. I was forced to go back into my room because the nurse would be closing the doors soon.

I shut the door behind me and sighed. I knew it was all my fault. It's the truth though? It might be bitter of me to say but if I hadn't read the book by myself then he wouldn't be in the hospital wing and I felt guilty.

I sat down on my bed for awhile and got back up, I decided I would escape the room where I would just dread over myself and go and train.

I thought it was a good idea, but when I realized I didn't have anyone but myself I was worried. If Jace wouldn't wake up it would be completely my fault? And I'd be known for the reason he'd be gone. But I knew I shouldn't think this way.

I twirled the long sword in my grasp. I swallowed hard and began to move it in a slashing matter. I got angry at myself for dropping it so I quickly put it up and just sat down on the bench placing my feet up onto the ends and running my hands through my hair.

There was a knock on the door and I sat up quickly. Isabelle stood in the entrance and walked in. Her facial expression saddened once she saw how tired I had looked.

"I heard about Jace.." she spoke lightly and moved my feet so she could sit down.

I bit back on what I wanted to say for awhile but I spoke up this time.

"Was it my fault?" I asked her honestly. She quickly shook her head no.

"He just passed out? He's done this before but usually it'll last a day. He gets him self to worked up sometimes?" I nodded my head once she spoke this. It relieved me a lot.

She hesitated for a moment.

"You two have been different ever since the night the vampires broke into the institute?" She edged on the conversation. What she really meant was that we've been acting different ever since we had sex that night.

But you couldn't exactly flat out say that. I sucked in some air and thought about what I would say next. I didn't want to break jaces word anymore, so I decided by ushering it off.

"I think it's best to just leave it alone, nothings going on I'm just worried is all?"

Isabelle looked at me even less convinced now but still waited with me, trying to start a different conversation that would wrap mg mind around anything other than Jace but she failed.

Alec rushed into the room after awhile and walked forward into the infirmary, I began to walk toward the door but Isabelle took my hand and pulled me back.

"It's best if you just stay here with me.." she asked but the door opened again revealing Hodge, he to rushed into the infirmary.

I took my hand out of Isabelles grasp and and walked into the infirmary as well. Jace was sat up onto the mattress he was wide awake.

But then, all I could see was black and all I felt was the cold floor.
