Collision Course

Chapter 23:

Before I started I just wanted to show you the age difference between Jace's dad (Stephen) and his siblings.

- Stephen was 20 when he and Celine died. (They had Jace young and unplanned)

- Ella was 9 when Stephen died (yeah big gap)

- Will was 1

- Cecily wasn't born yet. (She was born when Will was 4)

Stephen was his father's kid from a previous marriage but Imogen was the one who raised him that's why she feels so close to him because he's her son too. Even if he isn't biological her's.

Jace and Clary fell asleep around 4 in the morning. Jace didn't even remember when he went to his room. But when he woke up he was in bed and his phone was ringing. It was Izzy, Jace rubbed his eyes and picked up his phone.

"Hello?"

"Jace! Finally! I've been calling you for 10 minutes did you just wake up?!"

"Yeah, why?"

"Jace it's 11 am, I've never known you to sleep past 9."

Shit, was it really 11? He looked at his phone. "Damn, I think I missed breakfast."

"What? Where are you?"

"I'm still in Westchester. I told you I'll be here till Sunday night."

"Right, forgot."

Jace rolled his eyes, Izzy hardly listened to him so he wasn't surprised.

"So why are you calling me? You normally text."

"I thought you were home. I needed you to pick me up. I'm in Queens, at my friend Rose's house. I can't find my purse, so no money. Thankfully I have my phone on me."

"Someone stole your purse?"

"I don't know! Who's gonna pick me up now?"

"My bike is at home you can ask Alec."

Izzy laughed, "Alec on your bike? Are you crazy?"

"Well why don't you call Simon? I think his family lives in Queens now, he can give you a lift home."

"He'd do that?" Izzy is great with boys and can usually spot them drooling after her, but when it comes to Simon, she's clueless.

"There's a good chance. I'll text you his number. Find you purse Iz, you can't keep losing your cards and I.D"

"Yeah I know. But I learned my lesson and my cards and I.D. is on my phone."

Jace said goodbye to Isabelle and texted her Simon's number. After he did that he put his phone down and left the the room. He walked down the stairs to the first floor. He hears voices in the kitchen,

"Look who's up," A blond guy said, that must be Andy.

"Hi I'm Ella's husband." Jace shook his hand and sat down on the counter
