Prologue

"What the hell do you mean I am leaving?" I yelled at my mother. Seriously, I wasn't some pet she could ship off to thr kennel for the summer and then get back. That's just not how parenthood works! And shouldn't she know that she raised or at least is raising two kids.

"Look your father and I just don't feel the same as we used to about eachother, but that dosen't mean we love you any less," Jocelyn my mother said trying to comfort me. I can't believe that was what she thought this was about. What did she think I was 5? I wasn't stupid everyone knew that their marrage had been hanging by a thread recently. It was not some God damned secret or anything.

"Mom I don't care that you guys are getting a devorce! That part I kind of saw coming, but shipping me off to the middle of absoulutely nowhere is a bit harsh! Don't you think? I had plans you know? I saved up for art camp and made plans with my friends," I was furious she looked quite suprised she obviously though I was exsploding about the whole you-father-and-I-are-getting-devorce thing. However what I was really upset about was the we-are-going-to-completely-isolate-you-from-the-whole-fucking-outside-world that was pissing me off.

"Look honey I am sorry but I think you will enjoy yourself at my friend Lukes he's like a brother to me," she said smiling as convincingly as she could at me. I heard tones of storys about Luke he had been best friends with both my mom and my Dad before he moved of to country of Canada on the island of Newfoundland of all places. Why couldn't he move to somewhere like the bahamas?

"How come Johnathon dosen't have to go?" There I said the thing that bothered me most that I had to go but my stupid older brother got to stay. How come I am being punished for something that isn't my fault? I wan't to ask it but I didn't I knew it wasn't what she ment byy this. She genuinly thought this was the best thing for me

"He is helping your father hold up the garage over the summer Clary," my mother said now understanding the real reason I was upset. Oh yes, Dad's beloved stupid garage where he fixed cars for a living, why Johnathon wanted to follow in his foot steps I will never know. I would never want to do something like that.

"I could help you paint?" I said desperatly. My mother was painter, and won that traight out of the gene pool. However Johnathon not so much he prefers the whole stick people thing. She just shook her head and avoided eye contact by looking at the ground I could see her eyes trace the pattern on the carpet.

"I'm sorry Clary, but the decision is final you are going to stay with Luke," she said and my shoulders slumped in defeat it was when she got like this voice steady and quiet that I knew I had to stop pushing.

'Life is a highway, and I'm gonna ride it all night long,' played in my ears making me smile. It seemed fitting I thought so I stopped scroling through my ipod settling on this song.

"Look sweet heart I know that this isn't what you want, but I really do think you will like it there," my Dad said glncing over at me before returning his eyes to the road. He was driving me to the airport.

"Dad?" I asked looking at my Dad I knew he could be manipulative but I love that man. He spoiled me cause I was his baby girl, and treated me like a princess. He always had. Don't get me wrong he spoiled Jonny too, he just had a father son bond with him where as we had a father daughter bond the too almost polar oposites yet reflections of each other.

"Yes?" He asked me.

"Do you promise to call while I'm gone?" I asked I felt like such a child but I had to know.

"Every night sweetheart," he promised he lifted his hand of the shift and held up a pinky. I quickly took it in mine and giggled before letting his full attention return to the road.

I know I'm seventeen and I should be over pinky swears but I'm not. Well at least not with my Dad.

We pulled up infront of the airport and I felt like I was taking a march to my doom. Me black and pink addidas shoes caught on the edge of the sidewalk and I stumbled. A sign of things to come, I thought.

I gave my Dad one last hug before entering my terminal. He swung me sround in a tight embrace just like when I was five and then set me down. He then left, I sat and waited until my flight was called, I then stood and took my last breath of city air for a while.

Good bye New York I will miss you.

I stepped onto the plane not really sure if I was up for an adventure.

I know really short but the chapters will be longer this is just a Prologue please update I want to know what you think
