I gasp as i feel myself jolted into a different body, it feels weird i decide its like im living a couple of seconds behind reality everything is so much more peaceful than the other world. I sit up straight and look around at my surrounding for a couple of seconds before i realise where i am, i woke up in the park across from my apartment.
As i slowly stand up I realise the longer im i this world the more normal I start to feel, my movements feel easier and my thoughts aren't as jumbled. That's when i remember, im supposed to be going to Clarys apartment, shoot, I completely forgot. I wonder how Clary is coping with everything so far.
I start to jog through the park trying to find the footpath, when i find it i continue jogging down the street not wanting to leave Clary for to much longer as i have no idea what situation she awoke to find herself in the middle of.
I start to run as i see Clarys flat come into view, as i approach i see that she is already standing out the front of the house, i wave when i see her looking in my direction i see her visibly relax when she realises its me
"Are you okay?" I ask as i reach where shes standing and pull her into a hug
"Fine, fine just a bit shocked is all" she sighs "Valentine isn't evil in this world, he is nice and like a normal father and it really freeing me out." She pauses for a second before continuing "why have you got leaves all in your hair?"
"I woke up in the park for some reason." I shrug "Valentine must be normal because the demons are in hiding and he cant control them, oh and there's no shadowhunters."
"Good point. Anyway we are going to Java Jones."
____________
"Clary" Simon calls as we all up to Java Jones , he waves his hands to get our attention. We make our way over to the coffee van. "Who's this?" he asks as we reach them
Clary turns to me and starts to stutter "I'm Hayley, Clarys friends I've been outta town for a while" I answer for her before turn to give her my, what the hell is going on right know face.
"Okay, well nice to meet you, im Simon and this is Isabelle, Alec an Jace." He introduces me before turning to look at Clary "i know that look, Caffeine deprivation." He grabs Clarys arm and pulls her toward a spare seat while i follow them still thoroughly confused at what is going on.
"Um" i interrupt "we don't really have time for coffee were kinda busy" i try to protest but he insists we have one cup and i know its not much use arguing further.
I turn to the table ad see Alec and Isabelle staring at me blankly
"Hi im Isabelle, nice to meet you." She says extending her had to me, i take it and smile at her trying not to laugh at the fact that in this dimension Izzy is nerdy.
"Hayley" i tell her "nice to meet you to"
I turn to face the other lightwood "Alec" he says grumpily. Apparently a dimension change doesn't mean an attitude change.
"Pleasure" i say flashing him a smile
Isabelle's eyes find the necklace that Clary is wearing "is that new?"
Clary looks down at it hastily trying to come up with an excuse "yes, i uh, Hayley got it for me a couple of days ago." She explains and i nod my head going along with it.
"Oh it goes with your dress? Because your getting ready at my place tonight, right?"
Clary turns to look at me but i shrug my shoulders i have no clue whats shes going on about "Uh, ready for what?"
Alec scowls "That is not even a little bit funny. I have put my heart and soul into planning this anniversary party for the Institute and the theme is a-mazing"
I fake a cough to try and stop myself from laughing
Alec changes the topic of conversation "The guy is a Mad Hatter" he says referring to a conversation they were having before Clary and myself arrived.
"Visionaries are creaky crazy. You dont get 4D internet think inside the box." Izzy argues
"I'm beginning to wonder if you have a thing for your boss." Alec trails off as Isabelle begins to blush
"Like Clarys dad would ever go for me"
"What" i say spitting the coffee i had just sipped out of my mouth, the group looks at me before getting distracted by Clary talking
"Wha-my dad!?" Clar says wearing a horrified expression on her face
"Guess we all really do have our 'things'."
"Uh,"Isabelle scoffs "no im totally kidding, i mean, im not crushing on your dad, right? No"
While Isabelle is trying to cover her tracks Alec turns to us and mouths the word Liar proving that she actually does have a crush on Valentine. Which is fuckin weird. Clary lets out a weird laugh still looking horrified.
"Right, of course not that'd be totally weird." Clar smiles
"Yeah, mhmm" Isabelle nods looking down and putting her earphones in so the conversation can end, i have to admit im still weirded out b the fact that Izzy is a nerd in this reality
"Orders up" Simon announces as he arrives back at the table holding two cups of coffee, before he turns to look at Alec "We're setting up a six, right?" grumpy nods at him so he turns to look at Clary "I need your help tonight. Loading, this gig could be huge for me."
Clary smile and nods at him before Jace appears "Hey"
"Hey"
"Who's this?" He asks nodding his head in my direction, not looking away from Clary
"This is Hayley, a friend of mine." She explains
Jace smiles at me "nice to meet you"
"You to" i smile before he turns back to look at Clary
"Wanna get out of here?" he asks Clary and she turns to look at me i nod to her
"Don't be long we have stuff to do, remember?" I remind her he smiles at me before taking Jaces hand
"How come we've never met you before" Izzy asks me removing her earbuds
" i uhh, i was, ive been in Australia for a couple of years living with my family." Thank god they seem to buy it, "me and Clary have something to do but ill see you guys tonight." Is a not waiting for there reply before rushing off in the direction Jace and Clary went.
As i round the side of the coffee van i see Clary standing with wide eyes, i grab her arm an drag her away before Jace can say anything
"We need to find Magnus, and quickly"
