A/N: It's been a looong time and I'm sorry, life has just become so full of random crappy events happening that just add up to a year without updating, we haven't had wifi for the last 5 weeks (the horrorrrr), so even though this was written, I couldn't even upload it, eventually I bit the bullet and went to my Dads lol. I'm not going to promise a time period for updates but I will try to be better, and I have loads of ideas for one-shots so I might do some of those as well. Sorry this is unedited but A levels are kind of time consuming:P Thanks for reading guys, and pleeeease review, they make me happy:D
Suddenly Izzy came barging with her phone in her hand, looking like she just saw a ghost. Jace jumped up asking her what was wrong.
"Clary, are you calling me?" she asked quietly.
"No, I lost my phone sometime last week, why?" I responded.
"Because I have an incoming call from your number."
"What?" I exclaimed, checking my pockets even though I knew I didn't have my phone anymore.
"You haven't had your phone all week?" Simon said as he walked into the room, followed by Alec.
"Love you too Si, I thought you would have noticed I was't replying all week," I replied, feeling hurt that he hadn't realised.
"But you have been replying?" Izzy said in a confused tone as she seemed to lock her phone and put it away.
"Yeah, you messaged me yesterday…" Simon chimed in.
"But, I haven't had my phone all week," I exclaimed, "I mean, I know I always say I'm magical, but I think that would defy the law of physics."
"Well maybe not Physics, but Clary's right guys, that's not possible, are you sure it was Clary?" Jace said.
"Yeah, she kept asking if I wanted to go shopping this weekend, which I said of course, because it's not often Clary's willing to go shopping," Izzy replied.
"But I don't like shopping, so why would I have texted that?" I said in a duh tone.
"Wait, someone texted you, from Clary's phone wanting you to meet up with them?" Jace interrupted worriedly.
"But it wasn't me… oh my god."
"Yeah, I thought it was weird you were calling me from in here, when I was literally right outside." Izzy replied, I don't think she understood what Jace had meant.
"Oh Izzy god," Alec cried, sounding pained.
"Izzy, be quiet a second, someone, who isn't Clary, wanted you to think you were meeting Clary, but you weren't." I said in a very condescending way, but hey, if it gets the message across.
"You know, it's really weird when you talk about yourself in the third… OH MY GOD," Izzy exclaimed.
"What are you all talking about?" Valentine asked.
"Someone's using Clary's phone to text her friends, and asked Izzy to meet them." Jace replied.
"OH MY GOD!" yelled Simon.
"Take your time genius," I muttered.
"Clarissa's phone?"
"Yeah Dad," I said, I may call him Valentine in my head, but god forbid I'd say that out loud. I was getting an increasingly bad feeling in my gut.
"So it wasn't you calling Jonathan?"
"What?"
"Jonathan had just got to mine and he got a call from you, which he picked up but we assumed you'd muted your end like you sometimes do and then he got a text saying you wanted him to pick you up and I would follow after 5 minutes in my car, so he could return Izzy's" Valentine explained.
"Oh god, my car," Izzy moaned quietly.
"So not the time, Iz," Simon muttered.
"But I don't understand, surely if they wanted to see Jon, why would they say she needs picking up from somewhere she actually is?" Simon then said.
"How do they know where she is?" Jace asked, his face draining of all colour.
"Because the destination didn't matter, where did you say he got hit by the other car?" Luke asked, also looking pale.
"Just at the end of my roa… They were waiting for him, oh my god, someone was waiting in their car to hit him. They were trying to kill him, they went straight into the drivers door, it was only because he didn't have his seatbelt on that he survived. And Jace's point, how do they know where she is?" Valentine uttered.
"We have to tell the police Val, they have to know it wasn't an accident." Jocelyn asked, as she walked round to the side of the bed we were all on.
"Why haven't we seen the police Dad?" I asked realising that I hadn't seen any police people.
"They called me from the scene, took some of my details, but with no witnesses, they said they'd have to wait until Jon woke up to be able to take a statement, and other than the driver just driving off, there was no serious crime committed, or at least they think there was, but if what you're saying is true, then someone tried to kill Jon, and may be planning other things, if Izzy really was supposed to be going shopping with Clary tomorrow." Valentine replied.
"This is my fault, oh my god, this all my fault," I felt tears start to overflow and before I knew it the room before me was a blurry mess.
"If I hadn't walked ahead of everyone, or if I had told people I didn't have my phone, oh god, where did you say Seb was this evening, he didn't think he was meeting me did he?" I asked, panic filling up my body.
"No, he said his aunt had errands for him to run," Alec replied, and I instantly felt better.
*JACE'S POV*
Of course she asked about Seb, ugh, the jealousy I feel right now is kind of ridiculous I know, my best friend is seriously injured in a hospital bed, and I know Clary doesn't like Seb, but Seb's been going on about how he's in love with Clary since we were all little, and there's a small part of me that's always been fearful of them running away together and getting married and having kids. Obviously Jon knows how I feel about his sister, I think he figured it out after I'd had no interest in any girls at school and said the one for me was one of the only two girls that didn't just take my shit, and Izzy is like a sister to me after I was adopted by Robert and Maryse. I don't think Clary has ever liked anyone; she's never shown any interest in anyone, but then we don't really talk during school, Simon and her hang around with those nerdy members of Simon's band, and the rest of us are all athletes in some way so we hang around with the sporty crowd, but even though we sit at different tables I can't help but look at Clary constantly throughout the day.
I remember the first time I saw Clary, I had just moved in to Robert's and Maryse's and I had wandered over to the park that was a few blocks away, I was 10 at the time and my eyes were immediately drawn to the long blonde hair of this girl sat on the swings. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking, but wait a minute. Anyway young Jon went to the swing and asked if he could marry her, (her name is Kaelie, Jon is still pining after her), she, of course, said no. So I just sat an watched him beg her for about five minutes before her left her alone, crying, might I add and ran away to the trees at the edge. So about a minute later this tiny little thing with bright red hair comes barrelling out of the trees and pushes her off the swing, yelling about how she was a meanie. I ran over there to defend Kaelie, and Clary, with her big green eyes, turned around and looked at me and said,
"Go away pretty boy, I'll push you off a swing in a minute." And as I'm ever the protagonist, I replied with,
"But I'm not on a swing, pretty girl,"… Yes I was that smooth, god, it makes me cringe just thinking about it.
I suddenly tuned back into the conversation everyone else had been having,
"I'm going to call the police now, we should have done this when Clary was attacked last weekend, but we definitely need to do it now." Luke said as he pulled out his phone and walked out of the room.
"Guys, remember its important not to pick up these calls or respond to these texts until we know more, and the police have told us what they'd like us to do," Jocelyn said calmly, and then moved back around to sit near Jon's bedside. Valentine followed her around and they held hands as they both stared sorrowfully at Jon.
"Guys let's leave them alone for a bit." Alec motioned for everyone to follow him out of the room. Just as the door shut I glanced back to see a pair of green eyes staring after me filling with tears.
