Chapter1
A/N Okay So this is a new story which was on my mind today while I was on my Ipod I don't know why but I like this story better than City Of Broken Trust but don't worry I'm not abandoning it! I'm thinking for some Clace in that . Also in this story Clary and Sebastian are not related. This chapter does contain some swearing so here's the first chapter and I'll talk to you at the bottom ;)
Disclaimer: Puts hands up in surrender* Okay fine I'll say =.= I don't own any characters they all belong to Cassandra Clare... I hope your happy xP

" You fucking lied to me Sebastian!," I yelled at him. I threw a flower vase at his head which he barely missed.
"Can you fucking calm down Clary, such a fuckin brat," he yelled back.
My hands were covered in blood and cuts from the vase. He lied every time saying he wouldn't do it again but then he'd get drunk and go to those sluts.
He came towards me about to touch my arm when I flinched from him "Don't you ever touch me with your filthy hands," I told him.
I ran towards the room we shared and quickly searched for a suitcase. I walked over to the half broken closest and grabbed me clothes. Quickly packing them, more like stuffing I ran out of the door. He slammed his fist into the wall nearest too him and swore in frustration. This would be the last time I'd be coming here. No more forgiving, I was done.
I turned back for the last time and took a glance at our "house". It was a creamy apartment which looked like crap from the outside. I snorted, I was never coming back to this... trash.
I knew just where too go, my best friend Simon's house. He was always there when I needed him, he was there when my mother left me and when I would return home from Sebastian's beatings. He had always tried talking me out of not going back to Sebastian but I would never listen.
Simon was a total nerd. Not in the smart kind of way more like the addicted to video games. He always wore his gamer t-shirts like "Nerd is the new sexy". He would play x box or play station whenever he got a chance to. He had light brown hair and wore black Gucci glasses, which made him look cute in his own way.
I walked down three blocks until I finally came to his neighbourhood. It was a very sweet and quiet place except for my friend Magnus who had a house right beside Simon's. He was the total opposite of quiet. He would always throw crazy parties each weekend, I wondered why no one ever complained yet.
Simon's house was medium sized and beautiful. I always loved his house , it was much homier than my own. I walked up the steps and rang the doorbell. I waited a couple seconds when the door opened revealing the one and only Magnus Bane.
"Clary dear! Oh what a surprise I was just talking to the others about you." he told me.
Wait others? I immediately got nervous. Magnus noticed my suitcase and hands. "Who did this?," he asked. His smile faded and his face went hard. "I swear if Sebastian touched you again Clary I would beat the crap out of him." he told me. I shook my head.
"I left Magnus." I dropped the suitcase and hugged him, letting some tears fall. He held on to me until he said something totally Magnus. " Clary I love you and all but your ruining my new glittery shirt." I laughed and wiped my tears.
"Now are you gonna stand out all day or come inside?Cause I swear that grandma is eying me right now.," he said. I laughed and he picked up my suitcase which he said was really light for a girl ,and motioned me too come inside.
I walked in and smelled something awful, I looked at Magnus and he shrugged, " Izzy is cooking today." He said as if it was something really normal. Who was Izzy?
He told me to go into the living room since that's where everyone was. As I turned the corner I heard laughter coming from the room and some shouts. I stopped at the door entering the living room and Simon noticed me. "Clary?" I smiled at him and he came over to hug me. Before letting me go though he whispered something into my ear. "Did Sebastian touch you?" he asked which now seemed like the first question my friends asked. I shook my head lightly and he went to go tell Magnus to put my suitcase in my room.
You see I had been to Simon and Magnus's house so many times that I had a room in both their houses if I ever came over. Magnus let me go shopping with him to get the furniture for my room and bought me anything I wanted.
I took a chance to look at the people in the room. There were only three other kids other than Magnus and Simon. There was a tall black haired girl who sat on the sofa, she was beautiful. Sitting beside her looked to be her brother who had the same coloured hair and bright sea blue eyes. Than on the rocking chair was a boy really unique, he had golden eyes which made you get lost in them and the fairest blond hair. I bet any girl would die for him but you could also tell he was an player and arrogant guy.
"You do know staring is rude," said the blond. I blushed, I hadn't noticed I had been staring at him I looked away from the room to see Simon's mom coming down the stairs. She smiled and walked over to me. "How is my favourite princess?" she asked me. I flushed bright red Simon's mom had always called me her princess and was like the mom I never had.
I gave a small laugh "I'm fine, how are you?"
"Oh great, well I'll leave you guys to talk," she said and she left.
Simon and Magnus walked in after and introduced me too everyone. "Clary this is Isabelle," Isabelle jumped up from the couch and hugged me
"Were going to be best friends I can already tell!," she shouted. I smiled at her, she reminded me of Mia except she was way rougher and not so girly. Magnus then told me about Alec who he was now dating. He said a brief hello and waved.
Simon then gave an annoyed look at the blond. " And that is Jace, who thinks he's the hottest guy in the world." he said. Jace smirked at me and looked me over. That perv, he reminded me of Sebastian and I made a mental note to stay away from him.
Isabelle dragged me upstairs saying we should get to know each other better. I barely even knew the girl but she sounded really nice, I guess she never had a best friend who was a girl.
She plopped down on the bed and started telling me of how much she liked going shopping, and that we were gonna go tomorrow. Something told me I would regret going but I let it pass.
I went downstairs to grab something to eat when I saw Jace sitting on the stool. I chose to ignore him and find myself something to eat, but it seemed he was playing a different game.
"Whats wrong Red?," he asked. I ignored him once again. "I know your really amazed your seeing a sexy god right now but you can talk y'know," he said.
"Please in your dreams, Blondie. Your not as hot as you think. "I lied. He smirked at me but played along. Before he could reply I took what I needed and left. But not before noticing Jace's face when he saw one of my scars on my right arm.

Sleep didn't take over me. I tossed and turned but .. nothing. I thought of what Sebastian might be doing right now, probably drinking another beer and getting drunk at the bar. I let those thoughts slip away and I felt myself thinking about the blond head, Jace. I was scared of him though since his attitude and arrogance reminded me of Sebastian. Would he hurt me too, or was he different? With those thoughts in mind I fell asleep.
.

I woke up to someone shaking me awake. I flipped on the other side completely ignoring the person, but when the person shaked me again I yelled "What?," I look up and saw Jace.
"God if your already this fussy I wonder what you'll be when were doing things," he said then winked at me. I glared at him and waited for him to go, but he stayed. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes.
"Can I help you?," I asked him. His eyes just stayed focused on mine, green meeting gold and a sort of spark went through us. I didn't know if it was only me who felt it but I was sure he did too. I looked away and he got up.
"Magnus wanted me too call you downstairs for breakfast, better hurry munchkin." he said. I watched as he swiftly walked across the room and left. I got up from bed and walked into the bathroom, grabbing dark skinny jeans and an white off-the shoulder t-shirt. It was plain and had a small pocket at the top ,along with that I grabbed some gladiators and I was good to go.
I changed as fast as I could hoping that Isabelle was here too. Except when I got downstairs all the boys were seated at the table. They all looked up when I got down the stairs and I said good morning and went to find some coffee. I could feel Jace's gaze on me as I turned around. To my bad luck the only seat was beside Jace, I sighed and made my way over.
"Izzy's just getting ready since you two are going shopping." said Alec. I nodded I had totally forgot about that. The breakfast was really quiet except for the sarcastic comments by Jace. Once I had looked over at the window and had seen the grandma looking at us through the window. I had silently nudged Magnus who had done a spit-take with his water. Jace and Alec had been just staring at us as in wtf?
"Well Alec and I have some business to do so we'll see you guys at lunch." said Magnus grinning widely. Jace chocked on his juice when Magnus said "business" . Simon left too since he had a practice with his band leaving Jace and I in an awkward silence. Luckily Izzy came after 10 minutes.
"Okay let's go Clary!," she shouted from the door. We were about to leave when Jace asked if he could come since he was gonna get bored by himself. Izzy replied with a yes something about holding our bags. Oh yay! I thought sarcastically. The car ride was also quiet, Izzy and I were in the back of the car and Jace was driving. He complained saying it made him look as if he was our kept talking about her new shoes and I completely zoned out. I wasn't a really shopping kinda person. Occasionally I would find Jace looking at me through the rear mirror and our eyes would meet, but I would look away quickly.
After our eight shop I let out a frustrated sigh and sat down on the bench outside the shop while Isabelle payed for her clothes. She came out and immediately started pulling on my hand. "Izzy can we go now!," I whined. She gave me a stern mother look and I stuck my tongue out.
"No, we still have to find dresses for the party tonight." she said. I decided not to say anything and let her drag me to the next shop.
This shop was all full of dresses and tux. Izzy had phoned Jace telling him to meet us here and went back to finding a dress. I was searching through the racks when I felt someone breathing on my neck.
"Thats a beautiful dress, you should try it on."
The voice made the hairs on my neck stand up and close my eyes. I looked up to see Jace smirking down at me. I rolled my eyes and went back to finding dresses but keeping the other dress he had picked with me. The dress was plain dark green and a ball gown type of dress which flowed out. The others I had picked were this red one which was one shoulder and had a big mess of bows at the front. The other one was this black one which was plain white and black. The top was black and stopped right at your breasts and then after the rest was plain white.
I saw Izzy and she motioned for me to come try on the dresses with her. Making my way over I saw Jace get his tux straightened by an Asian girl, and felt sort of jealous. He glanced at me through the mirror before returning his gaze onto the girl. She was obviously trying to flirt with him, but who wouldn't?
I got a room right beside Isabelle's and stepped into the red dress. The dress was pretty but wasn't meant for me so I decided not to let Izzy see. The black was fine and I stepped out of the room, Izzy said it was okay but told me to try on the other one. Too my disappointment Jace wasn't there when I tried on the black dress. Oh well.
I put the dark green dress over my head and asked Izzy to help me zip it. She came in and did so and told me she was waiting in the dressing room. I came out holding the dress from the front so I wouldn't slip and embarrass myself.
Jace was sitting next to Izzy and his head snapped up when he heard my footsteps.
Izzy's mouth was open and her eyes were wide. Jace gave a small smile which he was trying to hide and gave out a whistle. I glared at him and went to look at myself in the mirror. It really was beautiful, it also showed some curves which I didn't know I had.
Isabelle came behind me and grinned telling me to buy it and that this was the one. I stopped looking at myself and found the slip which had the price on it. It read $456. I couldn't buy this, it was too expensive. I told Izzy I wasn't buying this dress and she told me she would pay. But I didn't want her paying, it would be like another favour she was doing and she had already done enough. She told me she was paying for her dress and that I'd better bring my dress up front so she could pay.
Isabelle left and Jace was still sitting in the chair, his eyes never leaving me. I know this might be silly but I felt like a princess in the dress! But this was too expensive I'd just find something else. I sighed and walked back into the fitting room but then remembered Izzy had done up my zip and I didn't know how to undo it. A knock on the door startled me.
"Who is it?," I asked, praying it was Isabelle. Except today was my worst day and it turned out to be Jace.
"Clary hurry up," said an impatient Jace. I rolled my eyes at him, never going shopping with him.
"I can't." I replied.
"Why not?," he asked. Oh my god, did this boy need an answer for everything?
"Cause I can't open the zip!," I told him. Goodness he was so frustrating
"Then open the door." I got an confused look, open the door? Hell no he wasn't helping me!
"No Jace it's okay I'll open it some how." I yelled back.
"Your gonna take a fucking hour, now just open the door." he said. Curse Isabelle for leaving I thought, but I had to get out of this dress, so I did as told.
I clicked open the door and Jace stood in front of me. The Asian consultant was glaring me and I couldn't help but laugh at her face. Jace crinkled his face.
"What you laughing about?" he asked confused. . He turned around to where I was staring and gave a smile. A real one. The way his pink lips would turn into a smile and his golden eyes would brighten up was just the beautiful sight. Wait.. why was I staring at him? I snapped out of it when he closed the door. I moved my red curly hair out of the way as his hand made the slightest contact with my skin. Some kind of spark went over me and gave me butterflies. I heard the zip coming down and held onto the front of the dress. Once he was done I turned to face him.
"Thanks, you can go now." I said adding a small smile.
"Are you kidding me? I think my girlfriend will kill me if I go back out there."
Wait his girlfriend? Of course he has a girlfriend Clary what the hell were you thinking? So the consultant was his girlfriend. Well she was beautiful and he was hot, what a great couple, I thought. God I have got to stop thinking a lot.
"I don't care." I told him, showing him my most annoyed look.
"Oh come on, you want me too look away in a corner?," he asked. Actually yes I did.
"Yup, now turn around Lightwood." I said and couldn't help grinning. He just rolled his eyes and turned around, his back facing me.
"You better not look, Jace." I said, not at all feeling comfortable with him being here.
I tried my fasted to change and slip on my jeans. Once I was done I told him he could turn around. Gathering the dress in my arms I was about to slip it back into the cover when his hand stopped mine. I looked back at him with a questioning look.
"What?," I asked.
"Aren't you gonna buy that?," he asked.
"No, its too expensive Jace."
"Fine, I'll get it for you." he said.
"Nope, no more favours." I told him with a stern look. But his eyes were so competitive right now.
"Think of it as a early birthday present." he said, and before I could say anything he grabbed the dress from my hands and opened the door. Leaving me staring after him...
