Almost

Chapter Fourteen

Hey! I wanted to leave this chapter with a little note just to apologize if I start updating less. I have anxiety and my tests are starting so that isn't really a good thing. I'm in high school and my gpa counts and that really makes me nervous. My parents are also thinking of putting me in terapy because of my anxiety (and social anxiety) so I won't have much free time. I'm really sorry if I start updating less often and I hope you understand!

Treat me like a princess and I'll treat you like a prince but treat me like a game and I'll show you how it's played.

Jace's POV

"Sebastian? What are you doing here?" I ask. It's almost midnight, why the hell is he here?

"Dude I messed up."'He says and I look at him confused. "With Clary. I said some horrible things and I need help to get her back!"

"Why did you come to me than?" I ask.

"Because you and Clary are best friends. Can you talk to her for me?" He asks and I don't say anything. "Please, at least talk to her after I do."

"Why do you even care so much about Clary?" I ask annoyed.

"I told you, she has never dated anyone in high school. Plus, she's hot so who knows, maybe something else will happen, if you know what I mean." He smirks and I do my best not to punch him.

"I'll think about it. I have to go now." I say and close the door on his face before he could say anything.

I go up to my room and the first thing I do is call Clary. She doesn't answer the phone, she's probably sleeping. I'll pick her up tomorrow after I give my grandma her breakfast and her meds. She said I don't need to but I kinda have too, I can't loose her. She's the only family I have left.

I couldn't sleep all night. When it was 5am I got out of bed. I took a shower and eat breakfast. I make breakfast for my grandmother and then I give it to her. I tell her I have to get out early because I need to talk to Clary and she understands.

It was 6.30am when I got there so I decided to go up. I knock on the door and her brother gets it.

"What are you doing here so early?" He asks. He was still on his pajamas and his hair was messy.

"I came to see Clary, I thought I could give her a ride to school." I say.

"She's not going to school today. She wasn't feeling so good last night and she threw up a lot. She's sleeping right now so I'll tell her to call you later." He says in a cold way.

"I can stay here with her if you need to go to college." I offer.

"No, I'm staying here with her." He says. I nod and he closes the door.

I felt something strange on my stomach, what happened to Clary? Why was she like this?

Jonathan's POV

On Monday, when Clary got home, she was crying. I was about to leave to take care of some things on the office but she came crying. I immediately went to her and hugged her. We went to her room and I laid her down on her bed. I laid down next to her and held her while she cried.

When she was more calm, I decided to speak up.

"What happened?" I ask. "Who do I need to kill?" She laughs a little.

"Jace." She says and all I want to do is go to his house and kill him. How could he do this to my sister?!

"What did he do?" I ask.

"This is all just a game for him." She says and I look at her confused. She explained everything that happened.

"I'm killing that bastard! How dare he do this to you?" I scream and stand up. I was about to leave the room but I feel Clary's hand on my wrist.

"It's not worth it." She says and I nod. I kiss her forehead and hug her. "Do you want to order pizza?" I ask and look at her. She nods. Her eyes are red. "I think it's better if you stay at home tomorrow too. You're not feeling well. If anyone asks, say that you weren't feeling well and that you threw up." I say and she nods.

She calls Thomas to tell him what happened and to tell him that she's missing school and to tell everyone who asks that she threw up. Around midnight, her phone started ringing. She was sleeping so I took it. Jace. I just leave it and try to ignore the fact that I want to kill him.

The next morning, I wake up in my sister's bed, hearing someone knocking on the door. I get up and answer the door.

"What are you doing here so early?" I ask. I clench my fists and do my best not to kill him right there, but I didn't think he noticed.

"I came to see Clary, I thought I could give her a ride to school." He says. Is he really this dumb?!

"She's not going to school today. She wasn't feeling so good last night and she threw up a lot. She's sleeping right now so I'll tell her to call you later." I say, coldly.

"I can stay here with her if you need to go to college." He offers.

"No, I'm staying here with her." I say and Jace nods. I close the door without saying anything else.

"Who was it?" Clary asks when I go back to her room.

"Jace. He wanted to see you but I didn't let him." I say and she nods.

She gets out of bed and goes to her bathroom to take a shower. I go to my room and get ready too. After a few minutes, we both come out of each other's rooms wearing comfortable clothes because neither of us is planning to leave the house. We decide to bake a cake.

Jace's POV

I go to school and I still have 5 minutes before the bell rings. I go to first period that goes by fast. Thomas has second period with me so I can talk to him and see if Clary is alright.

When I get in the classroom, everyone is sitting on the tables and the teacher hadn't arrived yet. I look around and see Thomas sitting next to Simon with a girl in his front and next to the girl is Izzy. I sit next to Thomas, which is the sit Clary usually takes. The conversation dies when I sit there and I look at Thomas.

He doesn't look at me back so I decide to speak up.

"Is Clary alright?" I ask.

"No. But she will be." He answers coldly.

"What happened? And don't tell me she threw up because her brother already told me that but I feel like there is something else." I say and he looks at me surprised.

"You really don't know?" He asks and I shake my head. He explains everything that happened on the day before and I look at him shocked. The teacher had already come in but I wasn't paying attention to class.

"That's all lies!" I whisper/yell. "I would never do that!"

"She doesn't think that. Don't go to her house today, she's not feeling well but just talk to her tomorrow or leave her a message or a voicemail. Seeing you will make it worse. I will talk to her though and convince her to call you." He says and I nod.

I look at the board trying to understand anything that the teacher is saying but I just give up. I can't believe someone would say that to Clary and make her believe that I was just using her.
