Letters from the Shadow World (Mortal Instruments)

London and Tessa (part 2)

Isabelle's POV
---

"Stop having a staring contest with the ground. It's not like you." I say.
"Uhun." Clary mumbles.
"Clary, babe, you are going to be alright. Come on a few more minutes and we'll be at Tessa's house." I say wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
After a couple more minutes of walking I stop us and knock on Tessa Grey's door.
"By the Angels Raziel, Isabelle, what's happened to Clary?" Tessa asks as I push Clary inside.
I sit Clary down on a couch, and Wrap Clary in a hug tightly as Tessa sits down across from us and asks, "What happened?"
"He... he cheated on me. We literally just got back together last night. I had broken up with him when he had chosen his ex over his sister, parabatai, and fiancé. Well two nights ago we all were hunting and I ended up breaking his jaw. The next day we got in another fight. Same thing happen except instead of getting his jaw broke he got nailed in the crown jewels. Then after our parabatai ceremony and dinner he took me out to the outside gardens and he, Alec, and Magnus had decorated. He proposed said how he'd messed up, and he was sorry. I was an idiot and said yes. Then today after we had a successful morning of training with no problems. Aside from me getting knocked on my ass by a punching bag that I was holding for, Iz. I had been distracted by Adele, all she did the whole morning was stare at Jace. I got jealous and distracted, and then got knocked on my ass. Izzy and I talked for a few hours about what would happen if he hurt me again we went to Taki's. That's where things started going wrong.
When we walked in Adele and Jace were making out in a booth in the back corner. Isabelle took my weapons from me before my hand could get a grip on a dagger, and we... or Isabelle confronted him. I gave him the ring back, and we left." Clary explains to Tessa.
"Herondales." Tessa exclaims.
"You know how Alec got after he and Magnus broke up. She's already started staring contests with the floor." I say leaning my head on her shoulder.
"Well, I'm no doctor, but I can give you these. They are anti-depressants that I prescribe some of the depression patients I have. Have her take these if she starts acting nervous, panicked, suicidal, or hurting herself, Isabelle.
Keep an eye on her, and try and get her into a good routine. Make sure that she eats correctly. I want you two to come back once a weak. Be careful with her she's hurt, and is going to need her parabatai." Tessa explains to me as I rub Clary's back.
I nod as Tessa hands Clary a glass of water and I hand her a tablet. Clary hesitantly takes it, and swallows it with a mouthful of water.
We stand as I hand Tessa the glass back. She takes it, and sets it down on a table. We walk out the door, and back to the Institute. When we get there Gabriela and Jordan are waiting at the gates. Clary flinches in to me as she sees Jordan, and we walk in to the Institute.
They lead us to two adjoining rooms on the fifth floor, and leave us. After I help Clary settle in and she falls asleep on her bed I walk into my room and send a fire message to Alec,

"Alec and the other inhabitants of the New York City Institute~
In light of recent events of this afternoon Clary and I have left, and I don't know when we are coming back. I don't want to reveal much, but I believe Clary may be slipping in to depression already. She hasn't ate since dinner, and has started staring at the floor nonstop. She is asleep in her bed now. I'm watching her sleep, making sure she is alright, as I write this. She is tossing and turning in her sleep, and I can feel her pain. I don't know if it's common to feel your parabatai's emotional pain or not, but I know that I am. I have spoken to a warlock today, and we got her some anti-depressants. Other than that we are fine. I will take care of my parabatai. I myself am perfectly fine. To Simon, I don't know how, but we will have a long distance relationship. We are safe in an Institute, don't worry too much about us. You will receive updates once a month.
~With love,
Isabelle Lightwood"

As soon as my pen leaves the paper or bursts in to flames and leaves nothing behind. I watch as Clary tosses and turns in her sleep, and then walk into my room. I shut the adjoining door, and quickly change into my pajamas. I open the door, and walk back in to Clary's room.
I sit down, and take her hand in mine in an attempt to comfort her. Which it seems to work as she moves around less, and tightens her grip on my hand. Then, I fall asleep...
