BILLIE'S GOTTA JET

I watched as the two lovers were at it again. Only this time Izzy cracked her whip and grabbed the cup from them. As she descended down the steps I followed behind her. "Clary, can you keep the love stuff to a minimum, my head hurts." I joked around and she sent me a shoulder hit.

Izzy gave Clary back the cup and she put it back into the carrot card. The group was talking about someone getting in the institute to steal the  cup."Last I checked, Valentine is a shadowhunter. The cup is not safe here we have to give it back to the clave."

"Give it back to the clave? no. Not after everything we went through to get it." Carly argued, and I was a little bit stuck in the middle. I mean can't the clave work out some deal with valentine and like trap him and get her mom back?

"My brother is right. The cup is extremely important." Izzy said with lack of emotion. Which was weird because it was Izzy and all I've seen her with is emotion. "You agreeing with me?" Alec asked her, see even he found it weird and he's her brother.

"Full of surprises." She tried smiling but it wasn't working. Something was going on.

"This cup is the only chance i have of getting my mom back." At first glance if I didn't know Clary, I'd think this was the only thing she said. And it would get annoying. But I don't know my parents so I don't 'know how that feels.

"I agree with Clary, we can't give the cup back to the clave not now we need it." Jace, obviously agreed with Clary. It was because of the whole kiss thing, they have been linked to each other ever since they met. "It's out only bargaining chip."

"look I know how powerful this cup is it has the power to create new shadowhunters, control deamons, even kill a mundane if they drink from it. But I promise you I will not let that monster go his hands on it." Clary gave that inspiring speech of hope with a trinkle of honor at the end. Nice touch,

"There you go, you have her word." Jace just had to put in. I watched Alec's conflicting face for a moment before he led Clary away some place. Looked like the training room. 

"Is today the ninth?" I asked myself out loud no expecting an answer form anyone else. So when Jace laughed and answered me back I was boggled. "It's way past the ninth Billie."

"I'm probably gonna get evicted from my apartment then." I said with no emotion, and then I shrugged. "I should probably get my stuff first. Is it okay if I get a permanent room here?"

Jace turned around from the screen and face me. "I uh- don't think it's the worst Idea. I mean, Clary had her own room here anyways."

I smiled. "Yeah! Right on!" As I said this he let out part of a giggle, and then I stood face to face with him. "I don't have to pay anything right?"

There was a smirk dancing it's way on his face, "No, you're contributions to finding the cup have paid well enough." I nodded my head.

"And another thing, if you break Clary's hart I will end you." I stepped back away from him and plastered a smile on my face. "Thanks Jacey!" I sang as I walked away from him and over to Izzy. She was margined something on another screen.

"I'm gonna head out to get my things from my apartment. Don't leave to go kill things without me." I said to her and she laughed at me. But it was true. I didn't have a phone and none of them knew where I lived. They'd be off killing thins while I-

wait a minute.

I could be off having drinks. "On second thought, never mind." But as soon as I said it, there was a beeping coming from the monitor. My head snapped to look over at it. Something was coming towards us.
