Clary POV
As Clary packed her purple suitcase she thought about her boyfriend, Jace Herondale and how much she would miss him. She loved everything about Jace, his hair, jawline, nose, eyes, sarcasm, charm and of course, his ability to love people like nobody else could love anyone or anything. His lopsided smile was infectious and he could always make her laugh but most of all, she would miss his smell. He smelt of sweat and wind and well, Jace.
There was a quick knock on her door and in walked her step-dad, Luke, and her mom, Jocelyn. Jocelyn was holding a small box with an envelope on top.
"What's this?" asked Clary, grinning at them as Jocelyn placed the present in her hands.
"Your Christmas present of course. You'll be in Australia, experiencing your first non-white Christmas without us," said Jocelyn, her eyes shining.
She opened the card to find a picture of Luke, Jocelyn and Clary on the front decked out in Christmas clothes and hats on the front.
Our Dear Clary,
Happy Christmas Baby! We hope you have a brilliant time in Australia and make sure you send lots of pictures for us. We love you more then you will ever know.
Love Mom and Luke xoxoxoxoxoxo
Clary could feel something else in the envelope and pulled it out to find a wad of cash. Her eyes widened and her parents laughed.
"That's for you to buy yourself something nice from us," said Luke, his eyes full of humour.
"Thanks, you guys! You are the best."
"You haven't even seen the main present yet," said her mom, laugher still etched across her face.
"This wasn't the main present?" said Clary, eyes bulging. She ripped open the box and her face lit up. An iPhone 7.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" screamed Clary, hugging her parents.
"But wait, darling. There's more."
"MORE?"
Luke whipped his hand out from behind his back, holding two tickets to Panic! At the Disco's concert.
Clary screamed louder and jumped up and down in excitement.
"Wait," she said holding up her hands, "what's the catch?"
"There is no catch sweetie, we won't be seeing you for a whole month and you needed something to remember us by," said her mom with a pout.
"I'm going on a holiday mom, I'm not dying."
"I know but I'm gonna miss my baby."
"And your baby is gonna miss you but," said Clary, zipping her suitcase up and dragging it down the stairs with her parents trailing after her, "she has to go now. I love you both but my ride is here and I have a plane to catch."
She hugged them both and raced down the stairs to find Isabelle Lightwood, Simon Lovelace and Jace Herondale waiting for her in Simon's van. Jace and Simon were arguing as usual but both of them stopped when she opened the door.
"Hey Clary," the three of them chorused.
"Hey guys," she said sliding into the seat next to Jace, giving him a quick peck on the lips.
The car ride to the airport was filled with small talk and Izzy and Clary telling the boys about the places they planned to go. Clary and Izzy were going to Australia with a group of their childhood girlfriends who were all leaving their significant others behind for a whole month. Clary didn't know about the other girls but she was dreading not being able to see Jace every day.
When they arrived at the airport, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Tris Prior and Annabeth Chase were already there waiting for them. Hermione and Ginny had met the other girls via social media when they were all 12 and had flown all the way from London to be on the same flight as the other girls. Their boyfriends Ron and Harry had come over with them and were planning to spend the month in America.
She hugged each of the girls and heard Simon and Jace getting her and Izzy's suitcases out of the van. Arguing about nothing as always.
Each of the girls said goodbye to their significant other and Clary kissed Jace for perhaps too long but she didn't care, this was going to be their last kiss for weeks and Clary knew that in an hour, she would be craving another.
"Promise you'll text me every day and you won't sleep around with all the good-looking guys you meet," said Jace, his voice dripping with sarcasm but his eyes full of longing and sadness.
"I promise if you do," said Clary.
"Deal," he said pecking her on the nose and giving her one last hug before she turned to the girls and they headed towards the gate where they would be boarding their flight to Australia.
