[TMI] The Truth (Or Something Like It)
Character/Pairings: Isabelle, Jace
Spoilers: City of Bones
Rating/Genre: PG, Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Isabelle learns the truth.
Notes: Number 37 (Truth) for the pandemoniumclub drabble meme. Miss Sandra, don't even click to comment on this one! Your eyes will undoubtedly fall on the one line that will spoil the rest of City of Bones for you!
Jace and Isabelle sit in silence outside of the hospital wing, shoulder to shoulder, backs to the wall. Jace is staring straight ahead, but Isabelle is watching him - the clenched jaw, the controlled breathing, they're both signs that her brother is ready to lose it.
My father is alive. He's Valentine. My mother is Jocelyn Fairchild. He'd said it all in an empty, lifeless tone, but his voice had cracked horribly on the last truth. Clary is my sister.
Isabelle remembers the wonder in Jace's eyes when Clary had seen them, the way he seemed so much more awake whenever she was around. She remembers, and she pulls one of Jace's hands into hers, squeezing tightly as he stays miserably silent.
If this is the truth, Isabelle decides, she wants nothing to do with it.
