Finding Each Other

Chapter 4

POV JACE:

Siblings? Me and Clary, the only girl I really liked in my life, are we family? I can not believe! The truth is that I doubted what Valentine had just told us, because he is a maniac who likes to torture everyone, but the evidence he told and presented made sense.

There were no more doubts in our heads, me and Clary are siblings! We left there quickly because we were both exhausted and we had just heard news that was going to change our lives. When we arrived at the institute, after telling the staff what had happened, I went to my room, I needed to be alone to assimilate what had just happened.

But I was not alone long, a few minutes later, Simon knocked on my bedroom door to ask if I needed anything. I don't understand why I did it, since we are like mortal enemies but thankfully you did, I really needed it.

I think, in fact, of the only reasons why Simon and I hate each other so much is because of Clary, since we both liked her, but now he has the free way to try a relationship.

I don't know what surprised me the most, whether he cared about me or whether I enjoyed his company. After he left my room, I had time to think about everything. When I say everything is really everything! I started by remembering the first time I met her, outside that bar and when I saved her from the demon who had kidnapped her mother.

Since the beginning she had captured my entire attention and when she kissed me I felt something special, something that I had never felt with anyone else. Don't get me wrong, I already had my relationships, both with men and women, but none of them made me feel what a kiss with Clary did.

I was happy with her, but everything changed in a matter of seconds and now we had to maintain a cordial and familiar relationship with each other. The first days were complicated, but with time things settled and now we can say that we have behaved more like brothers.

Don't get me wrong, the feelings I had for her still exist, they are just asleep until I forget them completely. I have noticed that in the last few days, she has been seeing more of Simon and thankfully because he is a very cool guy.

Despite the fact that he irritated me to the bottom of my being, I always thought he was a very strong boy, the things he has been through these recent times would bring anyone down. I mean, me and Clary discovered that we are brothers, that is clearly bad, but the poor boy died and came back to life as a new being.

All he knew until that day was mundane life, with its problems, dreams and routines, but waking up to a new being, to be a vampire, is completely different. It is having to leave everything you know, family, friends behind.

"So, brother, how are you?" Asked Alec, entering my room.

- I'm more or less, but I'm improving. But I don't want to talk about it, how are things going with Magnus?

- Very well, you know if you told me a few months ago that I was going to end up dating a warlock, I wouldn't believe it at all, but I'm happy bro.

- I'm very happy for you bro.

- You'll also find that person who makes you happy. I know you thought it was Clary, but there will be someone who will make you even happier than she did. You may not believe this right now, but I'm sure it will happen.

After Alec left my room, I wondered what he had just said to me. Was it really true that someone would show up and still make me happier than when I was in Clary's company? Has that person already appeared? Who would that person be?
