Chapter 13

              I left my two brothers standing there, shocked at what I had said. I don't care. I will not let my brother get away with that. I went to find Clary. I can think of one place she would be. I headed back to our room.

Clary's POV*

I just went back to my room to see if anything else of my things were not what they seemed to be. Simon was probably right behind me to help. Or to see if I was alright.

"So, is there anything else that doesn't look right?" Simon asked me.

He is just trying to find the words to ask me what he wants to know. He just hasn't figured it out yet. I looked around for a bit and at my things. That looks like the only thing that was not right.

"Everything seems like it is all the same. Also, whoever got in here didn't find it. So, no worries, Simon." I told him.

"At least they didn't find it. Meaning they haven't had time to read your journal yet." Izzy said from the doorway.

"Yeah. Are we alright?" I asked her. I know things between her brothers and me didn't end that well. I really hope Jace can understand and won't ruin what just began of our relationship.

"Clary, we will always be good. I am right behind you. With my two idiotic brothers, they will come around." She told me.

"I just hope there won't be between me and Jace." I confessed to her.

"He would have to be stupid if he let this come between you two." She told me.

Jace's POV*

"Don't get what is going through their minds right now. We need to hand it over to the Clave." Alec said, ranting to me. He has been waiting since Izzy left.

"Truthfully, Alec, I don't know what is happening in their minds. I don't know if I want to. But I will talk to Clary and see if I can get her on our side." I told him. He seemed to calm down a bit after that.

"Alright. We should head to the rest of our classes." Alec suggested.

We then ended it there. We headed to the rest of her classes. The ones I had with Clary, she ignored me or dodged the topic. I know she really doesn't want to talk about it. But we need to. At the end of the school day, I went looking for her. But she was nowhere to be found. I feel like he's hiding from me. Avoiding the whole situation. I then pulled my phone out and texted her.

Hey. Where are you at? (J)

Hey. I am around. Why? What's up? (C)

We need to talk. You know about what. So, can you please tell me where you are at? (J)

Clary's POV*

I know Jace wants to talk about everything that happened earlier. But I just don't want to right now. I don't want to say something I will regret. So, I want to think everything through.

I know we need to talk. But right now, I want to think everything through. Can you just give me some time? Please. (C)

Thanks. I will talk to you later. (J)

I then headed to hide away. I just need some time alone. I need to think. When I find a quiet place, I hide there. I need to believe. When I find a calm place, I hide there. I brought out the sketchbook that I had on me.

It has been a while since that day. I haven't talked to Jace yet. But I know I need to speak to him. I want to know what he wants to know what he wants to talk about. But I know he probably wants to talk about it. But I know he probably wants to talk about the cup. I must find him to get this over with.
