Lets start a story of our own!One word only!
"Jem you scared me today, I think If I was ever going to show my sensitive side it would be the day my parabatai nearly.." Will couldn't even finish the sentence but Jem understood he reached out for Will's hand and Will continued "You know me better than anyone in the world and I think you know I'm not worthy of Tessa's love"
???"Um, Jem." she started, "I was um, just coming to see if you were okay, But i-ah, Tripped!" she seemed delighted that she had come up with good excuse-But it still wasn't good enough.
Will frowned. "Were you eavesdropping Tess?"
she couldn't resist that nickname, i knew. she sighed, "I was going to come in and see if Jem was okay-But then i heard you talking..." she trailed off and stared at the floor.
(Alexia, you like to use I alot right? O_o||)'Never mind.' Jem said, waving his hand slighly. He coughed from his action. 'Will, why dont you talk to Tessa for a minute?'
'Jem...' Will said worriedly.
Tessa was surprised at how Will was now. The worried, caring Will, and not the usual sarcastic, amused Will.
'I'm fine. Will, just go.' Jem said impatiently. He coughed.
'Fine. If you insist.' Will said, his face clear of any emotions.
'It's all my fault.' Tessa thought.
'Look. I know I am distracting and breaking your friendship. I'm sorry. From now on, I swear I won't... I will leave if it's better for your.' Tessa said aloud, her chest was pained and hurt.
Will kept his composure cool as Tessa spoke even though her words pierced him like shards of ice." Tessa" he said holding up a hand to silence her.
"Nothing can break my bond with Jem. He's my blood brother and his soul and mine are intwined by our parabati bond. If you think that a simple girl like you can come between us then you're wrong".
Tessa was stunned. The cruel Will had returned.
(Ya know. This is really what I think. If Tessa did break their friendship, I'll hate Tessa 4eva.)No, she wasn't stunned, Tessa was used to Will being bad. :)
'You're back.' Tessa thought.
'Of course. I was here all along.' Will said, amused.
Then did Tessa realised she had voiced her thoughts out.
'Yes.' Jem said wearily.
Tessa felt like crying and hugging someone. She ran from the room, away from all the misery and conflicts she created. 'It's all my fault. All my fault. My fault.' Tessa thought, hurt.
(( i am literally crying right now))
(of course it's Tessa's fault that Will is by-polar/ has 2 personalities) :)
(haha bipolar).Jem looked at Will. He looked distracted. It was almost impossible to see but in his eyes, Jem saw someone heartbroken, someone who hated himself.
"Why do you have to be so cold towards her?" asked Jem, approaching Will cautiously. "Why do you always push her away?"
Will rolled his eyes and picked at his arm. "if you don't like it you should leave. How I act is none of your concern."
But then African Polar Bears
Jem looked at Will,"I am your parabatai. What's yours is mine and what's mine is yours," he said. he gently poked Will in the arm.
"You make us sound like a married couple," Will said with an amused smile on his face.
Jem's smile fell. "But really, Will, why do you push her away?"
(Hello? Jem is on the bed and too unnwell to poke people and walk around! Anyway, African Polar Bears? Uh...??)'Seriously, Jem. You should thank me.' Will said, unable to suppress his anger.
'What? Thank you? Why?' Jem asked, miffed.
'Look. James Carstairs. I know we're parabatai. And we're connected. But I'm asking you now to shut up. Please?' Will said furiously. Then, seeing Jem's look of hurt, his voice softened.
Jem nodded. 'You know you can trust me to keep it a secret? Right?' Jem said, softly, looking down, averting Will's eyes.
(Well, they are on the floor, Flora. And also, he lifted his arm. That isn't very hard to do lol)"Of course," Will said coarsely.
(Very funny, Marie. I heart Jem, and will die if he died. :/)Will looked at Jem and stalked out of Jem's room.
Tessa was in her room, packing her things, when she heard a knock on her door. 'Will? Jem?' Tessa cried as she flunked open the door. It was...
[Can I put Jessamine??]
(Haha. You can continue it I have no clue what to write. It would be cool if Jessamine came in!! I heart Will, and srry about the Jem thing hehe.)
(It's alright. You team Will? My guess?)Jessamine. She looked bloody and windblown.
'Tessa! What are you doing?' she asked.
'What are you doing!!?' Tessa said, astonished.
(Yeah I am :))"I'm..." Jessamine seemed at loss for words. "Well, I asked first," she pouted. "What on earth are you doing?"
Tessa ignored her last question,and said" and I asked second so tell me what you're doing here her voice rising slightly or ......
'Are you leaving?' Jessie asked suddenly.'Why?' Tessa said, caught off-guard.
'Look, Tessa, I'm sorry fpr bursting in like this, but really, I need you to help me. Only you. Not anyone.' Jessie said, hurriedly.
'What is it? Does it concerns Jem or Will?' Tessa asked warily.
(INTENSE i seriously don't know what to put...)
No it just concerns us we— Jessamine what does this have to do with me? What do you want?
Jessie sighed. 'I'm sorry but it's going to turn into this somehow. Mortmain, look. He's a jerk. I don't like him anymore because he likes ice cream and chocolate. And I find that totally retarded.'Tessa gaped. 'You started a relationship with him??'
'Look, punch me, kick me, whatever, just tell me that that's not TRUE!' Jessie screamed in frustration.
"Calm down" whispered Tessa attempting to hush the hysterical Jessamine."Jem is unwell and resting. You need to keep your voice down. Just come inside and we'll talk ok".
Jessamine nodded let Tessa pull her inside and close the door.
"Now, tell me exactly what happened to you and what you need my help for?"
Jessamine sighed "You promise you won't tell anyone?" Tessa nodded "I promise"
'Okay. It started with Mortmain. I mean, he's a nice guy. Only a bit too over obsessive of Justin Bieber and sweet stuff. He's actually a darling. And well, he's too... overprotective at times, but I still love him.' Jessie sighed.'Hello? Let me get this straight. Your boyfriend is our enemy. Wow. How cool?' Tessa asked, staring at Jessie.
'Yes. Why? He aint the bad guy. Valentine is. Though he doesnt look as nice as Mortmain, I kind of like his personality.' Jessie said thoughfully.
(Flora, Sorry i am Just better at writing from a first point perspective-Not a third person. and by the way, Valentine doesn't exist, yet"So you'd choose him over us?" Tessa Asked uncertainly , "I don't know!" she buried her face in her hands and started to sob. I patted her back awkwardly-I had never really been good at comforting people.
Jessamine continued in a hushed voice, "He's overprotective and I know I should end my relationship with him before word gets out and he ruins my reputation. Only I cannot break up with him because I'm scared of telling him to his face." "Okay" said Tessa patting Jessamine on the back as Jessamine looked up at Tessa imploringly. "So what I need you to do is change into me and go to Mortmain and tell him that the relationship needs to end".
Tessa bit her lip, she wanted to be seen as brave and helpful and this would be her opportunity to prove herself. "If it means he won't bother you anymore then I'll do it" she replied with a resolute tone in her voice.
"What . . . What's going on? Tessa! I-" His voice cut off as he took in the other woman in the room. "Jessie? What are you doing? By the Angel . . . is that . . . is that blood on your coat?"
Yes. Jessamine her tieredness showing in her voice explained"I ran into some demons on my way here." "Where? Will asked his worry hidden well enough so that Jessie couldn't hear it ,but he didn't fool Tessa.
"Close by," But after seeing the look on his face added, "But they are probably gone now....."
Suddenly, Will leaned down and kissed Tessa in front of everybody, because he just couldn't contain himself anymore.Jessamine freaked out and swatted him on the head with one of her parasols.
'Are - are you leaving?' he gasped. 'Please don't leave.'
She sighed. 'Of course I'll stay with you.'
"But you have to start treating me with respect. I don't like the way you are nice one moment and mean the the next".Will shrugged. "I have my reasons Tess", he said quietly.
"and what are they!" She shouted in frustration, "You!" she pointed at Jessamine, "You ruin a perfectly romantic moment, by hitting him over the head! And you!" she yelled again-This time pointing at Will, "You know what you did, now leave-Both of you."
"But you said you would help me" hissed Jessamine desperately pulling at Tessa's sleeve.Will was intrigued "Help for what?" he asked curiously.
"It's none of your concern, William," Tessa replies quietly. "Please . . . just go." There was no mistaking the hurt in her voice, or in Will's eyes."I-I'm sorry," he whispers.
"Me, too," Jessamine says harshly. "I need to speak to Tessa now, so get out."
(Will doesn't do that! And Alexia, and everyone! Valentine. He's there. Not that Valentine. That Mortal Instruments bad guy!)Will was out. Tessa saw him shrugged as he left her room.
'Jessie! Make this quick!' Tessa demanded.
'Okay. Valentine is the bad guy.' Jessie said.
'His appearance?' Tessa asked curiously.
'He's blond. He's tall. He's evil. He's bad.' Jessie said.
[GET IT!!? This is the description of Val. Not the old, evil, I-want-to-rule-the-world guy!! Make this clear!!]
"And what am I supposed to do about it?" Jessamine averted her eyes. "Um. Well... I thought, you know, because..."
"WHAT?!"
"You could seduce Mortmain, like you did with Will and Jem."
"I did NOT seduce them!"
"Yeah, well you don't have to be intimate or anything; just get close to him so that he trusts you and then you can kill him." Jessamine was enthusiastic. "Then I don't even have to talk to those horrible Shadowhunters.""Jessamine, we've been over this. You are a Shadowhunter."
Jessamine gasped, "How could you say such a horrid thing?"Tessa rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Why do you like this Valenpine guy anyway? You just said he was EVIL."
"It's Valentine, not Valenpine. I wouldn't fall in love with a tree," Jessamine sniffed in disdain.
"Could've fooled me," Tessa muttered.
(This story is so confusing. -.-)After Jessamine left, Tessa decided to go for a walk to clear her head.
She was walking around for an hour before she felt something watching her. She turned around in a full circle, scanning the area she was in. She was in a forest, so the shadows made all types of different shapes. Tricking her.
She kept on walking, when she heard a twig snap. She turned around and said "Who's there?"
No answer.
Tessa heard footsteps crucnhing on dead leaves behind her. She turned around abruptly only to come face to face with Jem.
"J-Jem, I-" Tessa stammered.
Jem smiled. Tessa ran a hand through her hair...
(Wait... I thought Valentine didn't exist....)

Jem's chest rose and fell at a more even pace now and will felt a rush of relief as he sat at the end of Jem's bed.
"Will is that you?" asked Jem trying to get up. "Yes Jem, stay down you need to rest".
Will watched Jem closely until a question that had been pressing in his mind finally surfaced.
"Jem..What did you mean when you said I can have Tessa now..that I deserve her?". Jem's eyes fluttered open at the question, "I know you love her Will, she told me. I think you deserve to be happy".
Will shook his head "I can't ever be happy if you're unhappy. If anything happened to you, I'd go with you"
