Hello! This is my fourth story and it's about Clace. It's based on a dream I once had. Actually it was last night.

I live in the Netherlands and I am Dutch. I'll try my best on the grammar. But don't judge me.

I hope you're going to enjoy the story and if you don't mind: Please review.

Enjoy!

CAPTER ONE: Clary's POV

Hi, my name is Clary and I'm 17 years old. I go to school in New York but currently I have summer break.

I just finished my last day of school and tomorrow I'm heading to a lake house and party all summer on the outsides of New York. Together with my friends I'm going to have the best summer ever. Let me introduce you to them.

First I have a boyfriend. His name is Sebastian Verlac and he's been my boyfriend for one year now. I'm very happy and I love him so much. He can be jealous sometimes when I'm hanging out with my friends. He says that I spend to much time with them and he feels like he's locked out of my life. I always tell him it's nonsense and that I love him very much. But deep down I don't blame myself for spending time with my friends. I mean, I shouldn't right?

Of course I have a best friend. His name is Jace. He is my rock. We've known each other our whole life. He gives me the feeling that if I fall, he'll be down there and catch me. He gives me hug every time I see him. He is very handsome and gets attention from all the girls. Sometimes he seems to really annoy them and I know that he's searching for a special girl. The girl that makes him the happiest man on earth. Sometimes I caught myself on wishing that I'll be that girl. Not because I'm in love with him. But because I'm scared that when he finds that girl, he'll never have time for me.

Of course Jace is not my only friend. I have also Simon, Izzy, Maia, Bat, Magnus, Alec, Aline and Helen. There also good friends and I can't imagine a life without them. I can always talk to them about everything. We have this tradition where we all sit around a table, without Seb, and talk about our problems. Sebastian doesn't want to be there. He doesn't like them very much. But I think it's the other way around.

But after all, I am the happiest girl on earth. I have a great family and close friends. And I'm happy to spend the vacation with them. All of us are going to a lake house. Except Sebastian. He's going with his parents but he'll be five minutes away and I still get to see him.

We're leaving tomorrow and now we're all going home to pack and tonight we're meeting at Jace's. Izzy and Alec live there too since they're his adoptive siblings.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I saw golden eyes staring at me. Jace looked like he wanted a answer. He placed his hands on my upper arms and continued to stare at me with a worried expression.

"Where were you?" He asked. I know it seems like he wanted a location as answer but he didn't. He always asks this when I'm lost in my thoughts.

"I was just thinking about how great the vacation is going to be." I answered, honestly. I never lied to Jace. I was always honest with him.

We were all standing next to a big van that we rented together. We were going to use it to drive to the lake house, together. It's a really big van with enough space for all of us.

Right when I wanted to suggest we should make our way home Kaelie, Jace's current girlfriend, joined us. I groaned out loud and everyone snorted. Jace too. He knew that I hated the blonde bimbo and I know that he hated her too. He probably just used her for the sex. That's what he did with most girls. The thoughts made me giggle. Everyone looked confused and I just waved them away.

"So Kaelie. What brings you here?" I asked and glanced at her. She glanced back at me and gave me a fake smile. I know she hates me.

"I was just saying goodbye to Jacey. I'm going to miss you cutie pie." She pinched his cheeks kissed him. Even though Jace was startled he still kissed back and I saw that they were using tongue.

I don't know why but I looked away. I never do that. What the hell Clary? I thought to myself.

The others seemed to be noticing my confused expression. I gave them a 'whatever' look and right when I wanted to snap at them. I saw Sebastian coming up to me. I waited until Jace and Kaelie stopped kissing and ran up to Seb and threw my arms around his neck. I kissed him and he grabbed my ass. That's exactly what I wanted. We stood there kissing and I felt gold eyes staring at me.

When we broke apart I turned around and saw Jace was looking away. Mission accomplished. Again, what the hell Clary? Since when do you care that you best friend for gods sake looks away when you're kissing your boyfriend. Seriously girl, try to act normal. I debated in my head.

I focused my attention to Seb and he rested his forehead on mine. I really hated it when he did this. It just didn't felt comfortable. It made me feel shorter than I even was. But I still let him do it.

"I'm going to miss you." I said to him and black eyes met green ones. I saw him grinning and then smirking. God, did I hated that smirk or what? It's so damn annoying but it also has a plus side to it. It can be very flirtatious.

"I'll see you tomorrow. It won't be that long. I'll text you tomorrow morning when I'm leaving with my parents. They have to work today so I can't leave tonight." He gave me a hug and let go. He walked away and my friends waved as a goodbye but he didn't return it.

I yelled an 'I love you!' after him but he didn't say anything back. He probably didn't hear me. I turned my face back to the others and gave them a hopeless look. When I walked back to the van I stood next to Jace and he pulled me into a hug.

"I love you too." He whispered in my ear. Low enough so no one could hear it. I giggled and gave him a hug. I rested my head against his chest and I felt him talking to the others.

I don't know what just happened but I felt my stomach flip when he said that he loved me too. He just means it as friends Clary! Seriously. Don't be a cow about it!

After a few moments of pure rest. I felt myself being pushed away from my best friend and saw a blonde bimbo hugging my personal walking pillow.

We said goodbye to Kaelie who gave Jace a sloppy kiss. Jace eventually pushed her away and led me to the van. He told me that Bat was driving so we could sit in the back and I could start using him again as my pillow. When we were both comfortable I cuddled into his side and he wrapped an arm around me.

While I leaned against him, he pulled his phone out and together we played Candy Crush. It was our favorite game and we always played it together. In the middle of a level he got a text from Kaelie which said that she wanted to hang out later. She told him to ditch us and go on a vacation with her. I felt a little scared. I knew that Jace would never ditch us but still. Kaelie is beautiful and normally she gets everything she wants. Jace probably felt me tense and he gave me the phone. I looked confused and he said that I should write the reply. So I did.

Hey Kaelie. It's Clary here. Stop trying to get Jace all for yourself and for your information, he's going with us on a vacation and would never ditch us. So stop being such a bitch and deal with it. Xoxo Jace's bestie Clary!

When Jace read the message he laughed. This got everyone's attention. I send the message and the others were still watching us. They were all smirking. I didn't know why but when Alec made a picture I turned red. Alec showed the picture to us and Jace and I let go of each other.

On the picture you could see that one of my arms rested on Jace's upper thigh. Just below his... you know what. He had an arm wrapped around my waist and his head rested on mine. My other hand disappeared behind his back and appeared on the other side of his midriff. It was a intimidating pose and I blushed. The others were all laughing about it and thank got we arrived at the first house which was mine.

I got out and looked one more time at Jace. He blushed and looked away. I closed the door and entered my house. While I did that I thought about what just happened. I never felt this way when I was with Jace. Maybe it's just because I spent to much time with him lately. No, that couldn't be true ether. We're used to spend weeks in a row with each other. I don't know what's happening. But I know it will only cause trouble if I don't just let it go.
