You're my Angel

Chapter 6

Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter :) I'm going to update more regularly now :) 

Warnings: there is implied past rape and attempted rape. As well as abuse from Alec's parents. 

"I'm going to kill Jonathan!" Jace shouted and tried to rip the note but Luke stopped him.

"Don't, we can use that for evidence".

"Alec can't see this Luke-"

"I know, I'll make sure he doesn't".

"Why can't Alec see that, what aren't you telling me?" Maia said sternly.

"I'm sorry we can't tell you", Simon said.

Maia sighed in frustration she wanted to know the truth, but she knew Simon well enough to know when to leave things alone. When Jace gave Luke the note back he turned to Simon and started talking to him about the laptop and Maia took the chance to take Jace aside and pulled him into an empty room. Maia gave Jace a furious glare the moment they were alone.

"Maia I'm sorry I really can't tell you about-"

"It's not about that Jace! I can't keep lying to Simon about you and Meliorn!" Maia yelled. She had walked in on Jace and Meliorn while they were in college and had kept it a secret for Simon's sake ever since.

"Please, I hate what I did but I love Simon I can't lose him".

"Maybe you should have thought of that before you started your book club" Maia said emphasising the words book club.

Jace froze, "How do you know about that?"

Maia glared at him, "Clary told me that before I met her she would often hook up with you and that you did that with others too while you were still with Simon! The only reason I didn't tell Simon was because Clary couldn't lose him either and I couldn't see her upset, but I can't do this anymore". To Maia's increasing anger, Jace had started the 'book club' when he and Simon had moved to Southport. He would always say that he was going to his book club and Simon would always believe him, not knowing that Jace was hooking up with someone else behind his back. Maia had tried to stop Jace doing this but he wouldn't and Maia had kept the secret hoping Jace would stop, but he only stopped recently when he realized he was in love with Simon. Maia had seen Meliorn was back and was afraid Jace would cheat again.

Maia started to leave but Jace blocked her, "You promised you wouldn't tell him", Jace said his voice breaking.

"I know but every time I see Simon I feel terrible, every time he smiles at me I feel even worse I have to tell him".

Maia left the room and Jace followed her desperate to make her change her mind.

Meanwhile Simon found himself alone waiting for Maia and Jace. Luke had left to go home as it was the end of the day and many others had left too. Simon inwardly groaned when he saw Meliorn coming towards him. Simon tried to stand up but he was surprised and anxious when Meliorn pushed him back down on the chair. His anxiety increased when Meliorn leaned close to him and he tried to lean back as far as he could, but the chair limited how far he could go.

"So have you changed your mind yet?"

"N-no".

"Hmm too bad", Meliorn said and straddled Simon.

"Hey! Get off me!" Simon said panicking and tried to push Meliorn off but Meliorn wouldn't move. Meliorn grabbed Simon's wrists to stop him, Meliorn pressed himself against Simon and kissed him. Simon's heart was hammering in his chest when Meliorn leaned back with a dreamy smile.
