CHAPTER 6
MEMORIES
• It's an extremely sad day, for the best family •

,,Is he gonna be alright?" Clary asks Magnus, looking at Jace while I put hands in my hair as guilt consumes my mind.

Fuck.

Magnus only shruggs fixing his sleeves and glancing at us ,,I don't know. Does he normally lay like that without moving?" Clary sends him a nasty look before looking down at Jace.

,,Get up! Jace!" Alec urges him and suddenly blondie shoots up, coughing and heavily breathing. I let out small sigh in relief and lean on wall, staring at him in regret.

,,I'm alright. I'm alright." He repeats weakly ,,I'm just getting my second wind." He meets my eyes for a sec and sends weak smile. It certainly doesn't help my consciences and only makes ut worst.

He could have died... Valak could have gotten him...

I shake my head lightly and hand touches my forearm. I look at Magnus and he shakes his head. ,,It's not your fault." He concludes and I scoff looking back at Jace. ,,I'm serious London."

,,I know you are, Magnus. But... he almost died because of me! My hands are coated in blood Magus, but never from innocent people. But today..." I shake my head and leave the room.

Damn it!

I curse in my mind as I sit on couch. I lean on my elbows and pt my head in my hands tiredly.

I have come here to help Clary but I could never do that with demons hanging above me wherever I go! How am I supposed to help that redhead and keep her away from Valentine when he's equally looking for me! And probably knows I'm with her! 

Heavy footsteps make me snap my head up and I frown looking at Jace. I immediately mask my face with small smile and stand up.

,,Look Jace... I'm incredibly sorr-" I freeze as his hands land on me and he pulls me in soft hug.

What the actual hell?

He pulls away slowly and smiles ,,Don't. You don't have anything to apologize for. That boy... I assume he was related to you. I know you didn't tell us everything but we didn't ask you to tell us anything from your past. So I respect you as much as possible since we know each other for small amount of time and you are Morgenstern. But I respect you enough to understand that you have secrets just as much as we all do.

,,But don't feel guilty about what happened. After all, you did save me, right?" He questions and I nod dumbly, completely and utterly shocked that he could read me that good. ,,Fantastic." He grins before exiting the living room and leaving me completely alone.

I huff plopping down on couch and looking at floor.

,,Well,..." Magnus sing songs appering and walking towards me wi5h cocky smile. ,,It seems you have a suitor, muffin."
