At the wedding everyone has a drink and fail and are in bed by 10 extremely drunk, except for Jace and Clary who both can handle their liquor more than their friends. Or can they? A drunken night leads to perfection.'
"I do." She said with so much certainty that instantly my eyes well up with tears.
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest says, they both lean together and kiss, the church erupts in applause and a few wolf calls coming from my idiot brother and his best friends.
Let me take a step back and tell you all how we came to be in this church on this fine June day. My name is Clarissa Fray, always known as Clary to everyone around me, unless you're my brother or one of his friends then I'm Fireball. Yes you guessed correctly my hair is so red that it does resemble a fire from the pits if hell! Too much? Yeah I do that a lot. I'm five foot 2 inches, hoping for a growth spurt before my 17th birthday in two weeks, but the way it's going I'm going to be 5 foot 2 for the rest of my life. Not that I mind, being this size has its advantages. For example it's ideal for me to slip away from awkward situations, and trust me I make enough of them. My eyes, like my mothers and brothers are vibrant green, like fresh grass or the greenest leaf you can find on a tree. I'm, as my mother says, as thin as a stick. She's always complain that I don't eat to gain weight, when in all honesty all I do is eat, I just walk so much and do so much exercise that the fat just stays off. I'm part of the cheer team, and being so small means that I'm the one who gets thrown about the place so I have to stay skinny for them to be able to do that.
My brother is part of the football team. My brother who's turning 18 in a few months, is Jonathan Fray, or like myself he has a nickname, Jon. We both have nicknames as my mother decided that she wanted to punish us with these horribly long names. Even before we were born she said we'd both be trouble. To her we're not, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her. There is only just over 10 months between Jon and I and because of this we're both in the same year in school, Jon is one of the oldest, I'm one of the youngest. Jon and I hang out together because I'm dating one of his best friends. Not the one that I've had a crush on from the moment I seen him but his other one, Sebastian Verlac. He's tall, has amazing muscles, basically the same build as his two best friends. His hair is as black as the sky at midnight, and his eyes are just as dark. I often joke that he's part demon because of this and then he would call me an angel, despite my fire like red hair. We often go on dates but I don't think it's that serious, I'm not even sure that I like him.
But then there is the Jace Herondale. The hottest guy in our year in school, hell the hottest guy in the whole school period. He has the same build as my brother and boyfriend but he uses it more to his advantage. He has golden hair and eyes, and if I've ever seen an angel it's him! He acts as if nothing affects him but I know just how hard he works to keep everything inside and not to show emotions. Despite me having a gigantic crush on Jace we're actually quite close friends. He tells me everything and I tell him the same, except of course how I have the biggest crush on him ever! He'd just laugh and tell me that it's just his good looks and amazing personality. The only downside to Jace is his enormous ego. That thing could fill this whole church!
Ok I've gone off topic again haven't I? I always do this. Anyway, the reason were in this church is that my mother just married her long-time boyfriend, and by long time I mean 15 years, Luke Garroway. My father left my mother when I was 2, he told her that he didn't want custody of me and Jon and he just wanted to get away and move back to Switzerland. Yep, I'm part Swiss, not that I look it. Jon does, he looks exactly like my father, where as I look exactly like my mother, the only thing is he has my mother's eyes and I have my father's jaw shape. Damn I'm off topic again! So as I was saying I'm at my mother's wedding and they've just officially become man and wife! I'm so happy for them. I turn to my left and hug my boyfriend.
"I'm so happy for them! He's finally part of my family officially, not that I can remember a time when he wasn't." I say to him and then pull him out of the pew to follow my mother and step-father up the aisle. I'm the only bridesmaid so my mother said that I could choose my own dress and colour as long as it wasn't eccentric and a distracting colour. I ended up picking a gold dress that came down to my mid-thigh. Its two shoulder and tight to my chest but starts to flow out just above my hips. The top section of the dress is lace and sparkly, as to Magnus' delight. And the bottom half has a few sparkles and ends with clear lace across the bottom. My shoes are not actually that bad, even though Isabelle chose them, their 3 inch heals with peep toe. The shoes are actually cream colour rather than gold but they went well together anyway. My friends follow us out of the church, me and my brother actually being one of the first to follow them out being best man and maid of honour they all followed on with us. I take a few steps when suddenly I feel two arms drape over my shoulder, one from each side of me. I look left and right at the offending people and see my best friends Simon and Isabelle.
"Your mother looks so beautiful." Izzy said in my ear, holding on to Simons arm on top of my shoulder. "She looks so happy and carefree. It's so nice to see her not stressing about the wedding now its here." She says and then walks off to congratulate my mother on the wedding. Simon stays behind and looks at Izzy with longing on his face.
"Simon, you should go for her! You and I both know that you fancy each other but you won't do anything about it. Make your move man or I'll make it for you!" I say and walk out from under his arm towards my mother and step-father who has just finished talking with Izzy. "You guys!" I say and throw my arms around their necks pulling them closer to me. "You both look amazing! I'm so happy for both of you! I guess I really do have to stop calling you Uncle Luke now, even to annoy you. How about Daddy Luke." I nudge him laughing to myself.
"You know you can call me whatever you want Clare-bear, you and your brother. Well anything as long as it's not asshole." He says snickering which earns him a hit to the back of the head from his new wife. "Ow what was that for?" He asks her.
"You know what it was for." She says sending him a glare. "Clary honey you and your friends will have to leave soon so get everyone together for the photos before you run to the reception hall." She says. I agree and quickly gather up all my friends ready for the photos. I stand next to Jace and Sebastian in the photos. Anyone would think Jace is my boyfriend more than Seb when they look at the photos. Jace has his arm wrapped around my waste and Sebastian stands next to me looking posh whilst having his hands in his pockets, I look over to Jon and see that he's standing the same way and a small giggle escapes my lips.
"What are you laughing about Fireball?" Jace whispers into my ear. I have to hold back my shiver, which is very difficult.
"Look at Seb and Jon, there both dressed in the same suits and both pulling the same pose. One's copying the other." I say to him turning my head to whisper it in his ear. He looks towards them and snickers as well. He turns back to me and leans down again to whisper in my ear.
"They both want to be like me but can't get someone as good looking as you to stand with them." He says into my ear, this time I don't hide the shiver.
"Shut up Jace," I say and push him slightly. "You know I don't like it when you say things like that to me, we both know you could get someone much better than me and your just standing with me to make yourself seem better." I say with a puff. I look up to his eyes and see a small amount of anger and desperation but soon it's gone and he smirks again.
"I'm not though little red." He says again in my ear as he pulls me closer. "You and I are the hottest people here and everyone knows it." He says and pulls away with a wink. I just scoff and turn back towards the camera and pose for more photos. Soon it's done, Jace loses me go and we all walk towards the cars ready to go into the reception hall to make sure everything is perfect, otherwise my mother will panic.
"Clary can you wait one second I need to speak to you." My mother calls. I tell Isabelle to go and grab my car and pull it out in front of the church and that I'll be there soon. I look back at my mother questioning in my eyes. "Clary, I know I ask you this all the time but I need to know, there is nothing between you and Jace is there?" I go to protest but she cuts me off. "No I know what you're going to say and yes I know your best friends. But I am also aware that Jace is a very good looking boy and even though you've had a 'crush' on him for years you think that nothing could happen but the way he keeps looking at you I'm sure that there's something there. You can tell me you know I won't be mad you know this, I was like you a few years back. I'm still young you know." She says, by now I'm as red as my hair.
"Mom you just can't blurt out about that 'crush' I have, what if he heard you! Worse what if Sebastian heard, you know my actual boyfriend!" I say almost pulling at my hair I'm that embarrassed. "Is this because I swapped rooms with Izzy so she's in with Simon and I'm in with Jace?" She slowly nods her head. "Mom I'm doing that for Izzy! Have you not seen the way that she looks at Simon and Vis versa? They both won't admit to it but if they think that's the sleeping arrangement it might help them to finally admit it to each other. As well as the open bar it should be tonight that my Izzy and Simon finally become Sizzy! Ask Luke they are our OTP!" I say to her ranting. She just shakes her head at me and tells me to get going. I hug her once more and run to the car. Izzy's back in the back of the car leaving the driver's side for me. I jump in put my belt on and start the car. My car is a Kia Rio, its white with a black interior. It's a five door and perfect to fit five of my friend in. I have Jace, Sebastian, Simon and Izzy in my car. I told them to fight over who gets to sit shot gun and don't even know who I'm sat next to, I keep my face forwards to try and hide it from Izzy, who knows that I always go this colour when my mother pesters me about Jace. I know she wouldn't sit there because she'd tell Simon to sit in the back with her and then it means that Seb and Jace will fight it out. Apparently Jace won the battle.
"He Fireball why is your face so red?" Jace asks from next to me. I just look at him and give him the death glare, which causes him to chuckle and shake his head from side to side. Soon we pull up to the reception hall and walk in making sure everything is perfect and making sure the DJ knows all the correct songs to put on and when to put them on. Then it's the waiting game for more guests so we all sit around our table. All 8 of us, Aline and Helen couldn't come as they went away to meet Aline's grandparents in China or something. And Jordan and Maia are on a different table as their Luke's Family.
