Clary, Isabelle, Alec, Jace, and Simon sat in the Institute talking late one night. "So did anyone ever get you super mad, Alec?" Clary asked. Isabelle and Jace laugh.
"There was this one time a kid pushed him off the slide and he hit the kid." Jace said. So from then on they told Clary and Simon embarrassing stories about Alec.
"One time when Alec was around nine this kid beat him at training, and he got so mad. He started screaming and crying." Izzy told.
"Hey, I said I was sorry for both times." Everyone looked up as a girl with brown curly hair came to a halt in front of them. "It's not my fault he's a cry baby.". Alec shot up from his seat next to Isabelle, and tackled the girl in a hug. "Jessica!" He said.
"Alec." She choked out. "Too tight.". Alec slowly let go of her. "You're here! You are really here.".
"You know it, Alec." She smirked. Izzy gets up and hugs her. "What no warm welcome, Jace?" Jessica pouted putting her hair behind her ear. "I figured you'd be happy to see me, Jacey.".
"Oh, Jesse, I never could say no to you." He said getting up and hugging her.
Jessica turns around in Jace's arms. "Who's the red head?" She asked.
Clary looked up at the girl who was still tightly wrapped in Jace's arms. "I'm Clary, Clary Fray." She extends a hand toward her.
Jessica shook her hand, "Jessica Callaway.". As Jesse looked around only now had she noticed how the institute changed.
She didn't really mind that Jace still held her tight, or the look she was getting from Clary, or even the strange boy with the glasses staring at her. She was just happy to be back.
"So." She sighed. "What'd I miss?".
"Nothing really." Clary muttered wishing Jace would remove his arms. She wasn't one for jealousy not normally that is, but the way Jace looked at her when she walked in and the way she talked to him. Made her edgy, like something had happened with the two before.
"Jace." Isabelle said.
He didn't answer her just kept looking at Jesse. "Jace! Let go of Jesse and sit down." Izzy tried again. "Jace....." Jessica cut yet off with a smile.
She turned to face him. "Jace, let go of me, and sit by Red over there." She said calmly.
Jace nodded before removing his arms and sitting back down. "It's midnight." Alec announced. "We should all head to bed. Since training for the young ones start very early tomorrow morning.". "Good idea." Clary said. She waved goodbye then headed out of the room with Jace close behind her.
The boy who Jessica was yet to be introduced to left the room after a second or so.
"I'm sure you know where your room is?" Izzy asked hugging her. "It's still there." She added. Jessica nodded with a smile.
"It's just me and you now, Jess." Alec whispered from beside her. "Is it now." She said with a like laugh. She took off running down the hallway toward her old room.
"Jesse." Alec whined before taking off after her. He shut the door to her room. She was seated at the end of the bed staring up at him. "Still wear your pumps." He observed as he sat down beside her.
"You bet, Al." She smiled
"Talk to me, Jess. It's been so long since I saw you last."
"Not much to tell." She shrugged.
"Oh but there is always something to tell." He laughed.
She turned to face him. "So any new guys?" She inclined with a smirk.
"His name's Magnus." He answered.
"Oh my little boy's growing up." Jesse said sarcastically.
"I never knew I missed that sarcastic voice so much." He said. "How about you any guys?"
She sighed and looked down and her feet.
"I'm sorry, touchy subject?" He asked.
"I..... There was someone.... but he died in the battle with that Morganstern boy." She seemed to be at a real loss for words on the subject. She quickly looked up and smiled. "But it's fine.".
"If you say so." He smiled.
"Now tell me about Magnus."
