Jace stared numbly at the wall, he had been awake all night and as each hours passerby Bedelia words keeps getting real. She didn't want him here with her, there was no reason for staying. But he didn't want to leave her here...alone.
There had always promised to be together despite the situation but…He shut his eyes and felt her words coming back. He felt replaced, she didn't need him here anymore. She made new friends… and Evan, so there was no reason for him to be here.
She told him she was doing this for him, trying to protect him…that wasn't an excuse to push him off. His only family…and now he was going to go back to the orphanage alone with the thoughts and feeling of being deserted by his best friend.
Jace tried to shut the pain away, tried to make it seems less painful but it felt impossible. One of the servant had come by this morning with a clean pairs of cloth gray hoodie and black pants which he had put on but the food remain untouched.
