Chapter 30

Recap: "Clary we will talk about this later."

Jocelyn replied to her forcefully but Clary didn't back down then defied her mom and spatted,
"No mom we are talking about this now. You know that if you hadn't abandoned him and instead took him with you he could have been a better person. Blood doesn't define anyone; we could have been a family. You were wrong to do this and you know that. Bye mom I will see you in the morning."

With that she turned her heeled and stormed to her room feeling lighter.

Jocelyn stayed the whole night replaying Clary's words in her head; frankly she could not sleep.

She kept on pondering her daughter's words and subconsciously she knew that Clary's words hold truth in them but she could not bring to admit it to herself because it scares her about the extent of damage she created.

And after finding out that she has a brother, shook Clary's trust in her and she knew it because her baby was angry as she had every right to be but when Clary gets to know about her elder sister... no she can't find out about that it will destroy their relationship completely and Jocelyn cannot afford to lose all three of her children; her second born, her elder daughter was innocent, no demon blood still was away from her.

Jocelyn knew that after the uprising she panicked but did not have the heart to leave her daughter to die in fire and deep down she knew that the fire could not kill Valentine, even though she pondered whether it was worth it but it did keep her sweet Jonatha safe she quickly thought as she dismissed the thoughts swiftly and wiped her cheeks where she felt her tears flowing. She was a failure as a mother, she knew she was a horrible mother to 2/3 of her children.

But her thoughts change their direction as she thinks about the friends Clary made. Isabelle and Alexander Lightwood along with Sebastian Verlac and Jace Herondale.

She knew her baby girl likes Jace and truthfully she feels highly unsettled by this idea because she doesn't know the blonde kid and Jace seems close to Verlac boy, she didn't know from where this feeling came from but she feels like she has met him but she couldn't remember... And the smile her gave her, it was reeked of fakeness but it reminded herself of the smiles she gave to Valentine when she started finding out his true colors. She internally shook her head to get rid of all these thoughts and sleep peacefully.

Jocelyn woke up exactly at 3:00 am and went for a walk. It's a trait of her that Clary didn't inherit. She started walking but stopped at a distance when she heard voices, she went in the direction of those voices and eavesdropped...

"Why in the name of three burning hells did you wake me up at such ungodly hour?" Exclaimed Jace at another black hair figure whom she recognized as Sebastian.

"Actually there are seven burning hells." Sebastian replied with a smirked at Jace's annoyed expression.

"Doesn't matter! What matters is why did you wake me up?"

"I wake up at this time daily and usually do something relaxing, because I can't sleep more than 4:00 am"

"Are you normal? Don't answer that, forget I asked. Why did you wake ME up and not your girlfriend?"

"Simple because I can that she is still sleeping." Seb said as it was the most obvious thing.

"What about me?" Jace asked before continuing "Don't I need my beauty sleep?"

"Jace, this is serious we need to talk" Seb said now annoyed at Jace.

Jace not noticing the annoyance sniggered but shut up from the glare he received from Seb according to Jocelyn but he did ask Jace the reason he sniggered to which Jace replied something she could not hear which caused Seb to roll his eyes but she could see slight twitch in lips.
