Jimon Short Stories

Finding Happiness Again

( Contrary to previous stories, this one does not contain Jimon as a couple, but is a story about the friendship between the two. )

A year has passed since my best friend Clarissa Fairchild died and since that day I keep thinking about her. I have remade all the steps she took on the day of her death and I see nothing that tells me what happened that day.

Since the day of her funeral, I have never been able to go to her house, although her parents told me that they had some things of mine to fetch, but I lack the courage to go there.

I miss her so much every day of my life and try to resume my life, both school and social, but she is stronger than me. At school I can't concentrate, everything reminds me of her! I see your face in my dreams and even without sleeping, but I know they are just in my head. My life in the past was much more complete and fun than it is now.

Before leaving home to come to school, I was accompanied by Clary and when we arrived, we went to the bar until we heard the bell that dictated the beginning of classes. During breaks we came to our friends, the Lightwood brothers. After classes, we would go for a coffee or go out somewhere and only then would we go home.

Now, none of that happens. I come to school alone, when I'm here, I spend my time in class or in the library and after school is all over, I go home where I don't even leave the room except for dinner.

- Yes, you have to cheer up. It's been a year since her death ... She wouldn't want you to spend your life like this.- said my second best friend, Jace.

- I know, but I can't! She was my better half, in addition to being my best friend since childhood, she was the love of my life. Before I spent all day with her, now stop doing it, it's very strange and I don't know how to get over this.

- We will help you because we are your friends and we adore you. We haven't known her for a long time, but we know that she was a great person and was our friend.- said Izzy this time.

- What you are going to do first, is today, we are both going to Clary's parents' house to get the box with the things she left you, whether yours or not! They are for you and you have the right to have them in your possession and some of them may help you to move forward.- said Jace smiling and I agreed.

This was definitely the worst phase of my life, but if there are people who are helping me get through it and not fully eloquent it is the Lightwoods, especially Jace. Since I met him in the second year that I attended this school, I had the feeling that he was a person who would still be very important in my life and was right.

We are already friends, in fact best friends, for two years and making a friendship with him and his two brothers, Izzy and Alec, was the best thing I did. They are very special and without them, I don't even know what would become of me.

The classes were finally over and I was heading towards Clary's house with Jace. When we arrived, I stood at the door trying to gain the courage to ring the bell. In my memory only images of the moments I spent with her in this place came and my courage to be here, to see her parents and to enter her room, was disappearing. If it hadn't been for Jace to have come with me, I think I would have given up halfway.

- Thank you for coming with me. I don't know if I would have the courage to do it without you!

- You do not need to thank, Si. You are my best friend, there is nothing in this world that I do not do for you and your well being. Now let's knock on the door and get the box.
