Hey everyone I don't own any of the characters. I just own the storyline

I sat quietly in the comfy chair in the warm family room. Nobody ever came in here unless the wanted privacy or for a major discussion. I wonder what kind of trouble my big mouth got me into again. Looking back at my week I hadn't done anything other than question my art teacher's ability to draw a straight line. Other than that I was considered a well behaved angel.

I twirled my red curly hair as my mom and Luke walked into the room. My mom sat down nervously and she gave Luke a quick glance. "You're pregnant aren't you," I blurted out. "If you are its fine, you've been married for a year now."

"Clary I'm not pregnant," my mom laughed. "This is actually about you. Clary I got a new job."

"I don't understand what this has to do with me."

"The job I took is in France, so Luke and I think it's best if you stay," she said.

"Like stay here in New York with Maia and her family?"

"No, you're like in Idris, California with your father while Luke and I move to France."

"NO I AM MOST CERTAINLY NOT STAYING WITH THAT PSYCHO!"

"Clary he's your father. Besides we already bought everything so you have to go."

"I'm not going. I'm staying with Simon." With that I walk out the house with no intention of leaving to stupid Idris.

After about three calls from my brother I finally picked up. He asked me when I was going. When I said I wasn't he got mad and tried to convince me otherwise.

"Why are you so stubborn Clary?"

"What can I say, I learned from the best. So did mom put you up to this?"

"Yes, but her intentions are pure, you know if that helps convince you."

"Bye Jonathan I'll talk to you later."

"Tell Simon I said hi."

I hung up.

Simon and I met up with Maia and Jordan at Java Jones not to long after my chat with Jonathan. I explained everything to them. I told them about how I hated having to go to Idris during summer and how all my dad does is work. I also added how I was pretty sure he was so irritated by me all he did when I was around was stay in his study.

"Clary you can't leave me. How am I going to ever find a friend like you," Maia told me.

"Why didn't you tell her you can stay with me," Simon asked.

"I did that and she still said no," I explained.

"I think your mom is even more stubborn as you if that's even possible," Simon added.

"Tell her you're pregnant with Simon's baby and you need to stay here to make sure he pays child support," Jordan said.

"She would just send me to Idris faster because there are zero hot guys there."

"Just another reason why you have to stay here," Maia said loudly.

"Look Clary my advice to you is to go and if you're lucky you can come back next year," Jordan advised me.

"Why are you trying to send away my best friend," Maia said slapping him on the process.

"You guys I want to stay and fight but I just don't think my mom is going to budge this time," I told them.

After lunch with the gang I went home and I surrendered to my mom. She made me pack everything I could. I took half of my clothes and donated the rest to good will. I took all of my art supplies and by the next day I was all packed and ready to go.

I was leaving in just one more day so I got to spend the day before with Simon, Maia, and Jordan. By the end of the day Maia was crying. Jordan couldn't even look at me. Simon just acted like it was a normal day. Maia told me she loved me and gave me a hug. Jordan hugged me too and told me to visit during the summer. Simon just took me to his house.

When I got to Simon's house he took me to his room where he had a surprise waiting for me. He had in his hand a wrapped box. He told me to open it on my plane ride to California. Before I left he gave me a big hug. I felt a tear fall on my shirt. "I love you Clary," he told me.

"I love you too Simon."

I had an early plane to California. After I got on my plane I open the present Simon gave me.

I carefully unwrapped the present. When I got the box open I saw that in it was a scrapbook. It was filled with pictures of all of us beginning from the time we met up until now. The last page was missing a picture. It had a post it that said leave this page empty.

I spent a good hour staring at the pictures and at one point I cried. When it was time to get off the plane I had landed at Agua Dulce Airport which was only a few minutes away from Idris. Waiting for me at the airport was my dad's friend, Hodge.

"Where's dad," I asked him.

"Your father is working on a campaign so he asked me to pick you up," he replied.

I couldn't believe he was doing this. I had just got here and already he was blowing me off for work.

"Who's at the house," I asked.

"I believe your brother has some people over to greet you." I nodded.

I stuck my head out of Hodges black car. As we passed by all the shops and homes that I remembered as a child. There was on building that caught my eye. It was Idris high school. I would be starting tomorrow. This building was so old. My parents even went there.

When Hodge stopped the car I grabbed my bags from the trunk and rushed onto the driveway when I bumped into him. "Hey Clary, did you miss me?" He smirked.

"On the contrary I dreaded this moment the minute I got of that plane. I would have gone back on the plane but it left by the time I went back." I rolled my eyes at him and walked away.

This is just what I freaking needed. I just had to run into Jace Herondale the most arrogant person who ever lived. Luckily when I went inside Jonathan was just there with his girlfriend. I greeted them and went to my room.

I can't believe my mom sent me here. She hated it here so she left so why would she leave me at the one place she despised the most. To make it all worse I'm now living under the same roof as that psycho control freak I have to call my dad. I'm pretty sure the only person who hated him more than me was my mom.

Maybe it's just life that did this to me? She probably has something amazing planned out for me. If this is all there is for me I got to say life is one cruel bitch.
