CLARY'S P.O.V
Clary was in her room getting the outfit that she was gonna wear for the first day of school out when there was a knock at her door. "What?" She said to the door.
"Well I can always come back later." The voice said.
Clary knew that voice. "Mom!" She said running and opening the door.
She embraced her mom, Jocelyn Fray. Clary hadn't seen her mom in 9 months.
"I wasn't expecting you for another 3 months." Clary said.
Her mom smiled. "Well I had a little change of plans." She said.
Clary was confused. Then she saw a ring on her moms finger. "Mom, what is that?" Clary asked.
"Sit down, darling." Her mom said guiding Clary to her bed.
"While I was in London, I met a man named Luke Garroway. He was sweet and handsome. He has a 17 year old son named Jace. 8 years ago, Luke found Jace, abused and scared, when he was only 9. Luke raised him. Listen sweetheart, ever since your father died, it left a hole in my heart that can only be filled by love and Luke can fill it. He proposed to me a month ago. We are getting married on Saturday." She said.
Clary stared at her hands. She was happy for her mom but also upset that she didn't even ask her. "I'm happy for you mom." Clary said.
Her mom smiled. "Good." she said. "Because now you're going to have a new father and a new brother."
Stepfather and stepbrother Clary thought to herself. Jocelyn stood up. "Well, now that I got that out, let's go meet them." she said.
Clary stood up and followed her mother out to the car.
The drive down to the airport wasn't as long as Clary thought it would be. They stood by the baggage claim and waited. Clary pulled out her phone and plugged hear ear-buds in. She put her music on shuffle and her favorite song started playing
When your soul finds the soul it was waiting for
When someone walks into your heart through an open door
When your hand finds the hand it was meant to hold
Don't let go
Someone comes into your world
Suddenly your world has changed forever
No, there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart
When you're one with the one you were meant to find
Everything falls in place, all the stars align
When you're touched by the cloud that has touched your soul
Don't let go
Someone comes into your life
It's like they've been in your life forever
No, there's no one else's eyes
That could see into me
No one else's arms can lift
Lift me up so high
Your love lifts me out of time
And you know my heart by heart
So now we've found our way to find each other
So now I found my way to you
At that moment, Clary looked up and saw Jocelyn walking towards two men. The taller one Clary knew immediately was Luke. He was tall, about 6'1. He had dark brown hair with a single white streak in it. As he got closer Clary saw that he had blue eyes. Then Clary's gaze shifted to the other man, more teenage boy than man. He was about 5'11 with blonde hair. He had golden eyes. He looks like an angel Clary thought, but she quickly dismissed the thought. "Clary, this is Luke." Jocelyn said.
Luke stuck out a hand and Clary took it. "It's nice to meet you." Luke said.
Clary just smiled as she released his hand. "And this is my son, Jace." Luke said gesturing to the boy.
Jace stuck out his hand but this time Clary took it hesitantly. "Nice to meet you." she tried to say but it came out in a whisper.
He smiled. It was a mischievous smile. Almost as if he was saying Are you sure? but it was gone too quickly for Clary to interpret it. "Pleasure." Jace said in a gorgeously delicious British accent.
Clary looked down at her feet so no one would notice the blood rushing to her pale cheeks. She heard someone clear their throat and she realized that she was still holding Jace's hand. She quickly released it and tried to discreetly wipe her sweaty palms and her shorts. "Well, we all better head home. Clary and Jace need a good nights sleep for school tomorrow." Jocelyn said with an awkward smile.
This is gonna be a long school year. Clary thought to herself as she squished in between luggage and Jace.
