"You're still gonna ignore me?" Skylar said with her arms cross, she stood in Jace's room, he sat on his bed still ignoring her. She had been standing there for almost an hour trying to find a way for him to forgive her. "Jace." She said softly, Jace exhaled sharply giving in.

"As much as I could ignore you for the rest of my life, I can't."

"That's the first thing we can agree on since we found out the truth." Skylar mumbled, Jace watched her body movement she felt uncomfortable. Skylar would move around, she kept twirling her ring not wanting to be here with him alone. Each time she looked t him, her heart would shatter over and over avian. 

"You need to go home so does Clary."

"You know damn well that isn't our issue...you can't bear the sight of me."

"I would love to be able to stare you at whenever I want but I can't because my stomach turns, I feel disgusted with myself Skye. I am in love with you and I want you in so many ways but I can't.." Skylar stayed silent. "We need to end this Skye, I hate you...you're the reason why we are the way we are now."

"You're kidding right? You are blaming me?! Me!? Jace, when I arrived at The Institute I did not speak a word to any of you! You came to me, I never came to you

"You're kidding right? You are blaming me?! Me!? Jace, when I arrived at The Institute I did not speak a word to any of you! You came to me, I never came to you." Skylar said, Jace stood up and chuckled.

"What do you think I was going to do? Let insecure, pathetic child be alone? I wish I did." Jace said harshly, Skylar's eyes widened was this true? Sadness and rage slowly filled Skylar, she took in a deep breath. "You should  have stayed with father." He hissed

"You sound just like the bastard, no wonder mother didn't want you."

"Really? Didn't she leave you too?"

"At least yes but she came back for me, she was glad she didn't have to deal with you."

"Skylar, go ahead say anything you want. I could care less, I am not the guy you loved nor will I ever be."

"Then I am glad, you did this Jace. I hope this weighs heavy on your cold heart and it reminds you how you destroyed your first love." Skylar stepped forward and looked up at him. "I hope you and father burn in hell together Jonathan, you're more like him than you know." She whispered, turned on her heels and left his room.

Isabelle sat on her bed waiting for Alec and Jace, she had told them to meet her in her room after their training. She looked up at saw her brothers walk into her room, sweaty and with messy hair. "Close the door." She said seriously, Alec closed the door behind Jace and looked at his little sister. 

"What's going on?" Alec asked

"Ask Jace, what the hell he did." Jace leaned against the wall, with his eyes closed listening but not responding. "Fine, how about you read this letter hand written by Skye." Isabelle puled out a folded piece of paper, Alec walked over grabbed it and read it.

Alec looked up at Jace who did nothing, he handed Isabelle the paper back and shook his head. "You did that on purpose?"

"Yes I did." Jace replied

"Why?" Isabelle asked "You know how easily she can revert to the way she was, not only did you do the unbelievable, she left Idris entirety."

"She can hate me and I can hate myself, it's easier."

"For who? You or her?" Alec asked, Jace opened his mouth to reply but couldn't find the right response.

"We need to get a message to Magnus." 

"I-I will do it." Alec offered, Isabelle smirked and winked at her brother. "Stop it." He hissed and walked out of her room.

"And you," Isabelle pointed at Jace and wiggled her index finger at him. "Stay out of trouble." She warned him.

Skylar knocked on a door, she was drenched and stood outside in the rain waiting. The door opened slowly revealing a brown haired women with grey eyes, she smiled at the sight of the familiar shadowhunter standing at her door. "You told me, if I ever needed a place to stay you said I could come here to you Tessa."

"I did, Magnus told me what happened. Does he know about you being here back in New York?"

"N-No." Tessa stepped aside and let Skylar inside, she closed the door behind Skylar. "Thank you."

"Let's get you cleaned up." Tessa said and led Skylar upstairs.

After getting cleaned up, Skylar sat in her room trying to forget what had happened today. "What do you think I was going to do? Let insecure, pathetic child be alone? I wish I did." Skylar's eyes welled up with tears, his words stung her. Skylar grabbed her stele and stared at it, a rune came to mind. She needed change...
